First off, there is some amazing writing in here. Really truly amazing. I do still feel like you might want to add another warning or two for triggery content, but mostly because your writing was so vivid that it really puts a person in that situation, with all the unspoken and/or unrealized horrors right there in front of you.
Because the crazy part about this fic is that you manipulated my emotions right along with all the characters Adam (and then Kris) were playing. I cheered for them as they achieved their "victories", and found myself falling just a little bit in love with your Kelly. I found myself thinking I'm so glad that things got better for them, and then I paused, and felt a little sick, because I was only at the end of Part 2 at that point.
And then Part 3... I loved Part 3, because you didn't gloss over anything, but you still managed to give them (and us) a happy ending. A real happy ending. Not something bittersweet, where everything is still messed up but they have each other, and not something overly
( ... )
Oh, and because I forgot to mention it -- this is by far the best thing that you've ever written (that I've read, at least), and I'm still kind of floored by the ending, because I LOVE HAPPY ENDINGS to angst fics (I kind of need them, to be honest), and I really, really had convinced myself there wasn't going to be one on this fic.
So bravo, amazing job, and this is the obligatory comment requesting a porny epilogue/sequel ;)
(to be quite honest I was surprised by the happy ending too. I wanted it really badly, and had everything up to the guitar smashing scene plotted out and then the rest just showed up)
Coming from you, I'll take this as a comliment of extreme quality.
Oh wow! i love this story. It is absolutely heartbreaking and beautiful at the same. White Oleander is one of my favorite books and movies, so I really loved how you captured the storyline but adapted it for this story!

Honest.
(oh the thought of writing a sequel. I'm not sure I could do this again)
