Feedback you say? How about this is my favorite OC story EVER and definitely one of my top 5 favorite stories in any fandom?

Thanks for writing this... it's gorgeous.

*giggles* I'm glad you like this story. It was... it started being nothing but a one-shot but there was so much for me to tell, that this thing was what I ended up writing. *nods*

Thanks so much for commenting. *bounces*

I don't know really what to say...I love this, it's so sad and hopeless and yet beautiful and hopeful at the same time. If ever I need a good cry I'll remember to come to this fiction.
You got me with Sophie this time and then again with "I remember you Kirsten".
Thanks for the update, now I have to go find a box of tissue.

I think last chapter and this one shows that they are getting better. Maybe not much, but they are getting there. Or at least they are trying very very hard and that should count for something. *nods*

It hurt to write, you know? I think a piece of me will always stay with this story, one way or the other. *nods*

I gotta say, when I was writing Sophie, yeah, I started to tear up. It's so... difficult, because Sophis is Ryan's future in a way. She's the sister he never had, and now he won't even be able to see her, and that just hurts in a different kind of way. *sniff*

Oh, babe. *huggles* Better now?

This is me, remembering to leave feedback on a story. :P

I really love this one, mate. Even though it's OC and I don't read OC. Or...not unless it's you. Or something. Oh no, I'm slipping.

(Love of story being said, I did skip over bits. I'm sure you can guess. :P)

...And just quietly, Ryan's dog is awesome, and due to possible sadness involving my dog, you made me cry. But don't feel bad, because everything is making me cry lately. But you didn't hear that from me...

PS: Are you around? I want to email you. Okay, I will...and see what happens. :P Shutting up, now.

[sdlucly]

I was hoping you'd say that. *g*

I love that Sam became such a major part of the story, as did Sohpie. It was... I didn't write her at first! But then the show's finale came along and I had to write her in and she fit beautifully! *nods*

Dude, the promo! /dies.

[mylogiceatsyou]

I keep going back and watching it again and again and dying every single time.

he wants Seth to be pissed off at him so Ryan can be pissed off at Seth in return, scream at him, maybe throw a plate or two.

"You deserve a life," Ryan breathes out, the words leaving his lips without intending too. But it's too late, they are out there. You should leave me. You should finish Berkeley and then get a job far away from me and leave me and--

Ryan can feel Seth's smile on his skin, against his skin, before tender lips touch under his ear, the first line of his jaw, nose against his earlobe. "I have a life."....I just love that this is the opposite situation from Look Over Here. Just as much pain, but for different reasons.

And....sex....there was sex this time! As in, real; not a dream. Yes!

I can feel this fic winding down and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

There are so many things I love about this story. And I think one of them is that it gave me the oportunity to give them the chance to be angry. They both deserved to be angry and they kinda of couldn't. Not really, not like they wanted. Seth was trying his best and Ryan needed him to be an ass just as an excuse. I liked that about it. *nods*

Dude, there was sex! Almost graphic! *giggles* Well, kinda. I used words for it! *giggles*

Yeah, it is. Just two more chapters. It would have been one if LJ didn't hadn't wanted to cut my post! *sniff*

You're excellent. That chapter was so sad, but it still had a hopeful feel to it. I'm glad that they went back to the Cohen house, it felt like an important move for Ryan. It's sad that he had a whole map in his head of the house and the paces from place to place. I mean, it's not sad, really, but it just shows that he actually prepared for this. I can't imagine having to pace around my house because I knew that one day I wouldn't be able to see anymore.

Sophie's adorable. I'm glad you added her in. And Sam's just plain sweet. I can't believe how smart those dogs are.

Anyway. Clearly I have no thoughtful feedback to give you- maybe it's because I'm hungry so I'm not thinking straight. I loved this chapter, as always. Thanks.
