[I am so late. Sorry.]

First of all: great title.

I love all of these moments you chose and created - this whole fic/collection of scenes is so very well written and definitely part of my personal canon, from now on. Thanks a lot for not giving up on the challenge and sharing this with us.

And now, more details:

1 - So, so sweet … which is the wrong word because well, seasickness is not sweet - but they are so adorable! Aww.
2 - This should have happened. It should have. Your OTP is even more sunken and gone and almost-never-happened than mine is. What a great sentence!
3 - The contrast between them here is so vivid, so painful, and still the connection is there and oh God, Dan.
4 - So fitting and true to the characters. I love that she helps him with his bags.
5 - I think that sentence is one of my favorites. His voice and her patience and oh, I love it. Wonderful!
6 - What a delicate, gentle scene. Lovely.
7 - Oh, Dan.
8 - And again: Oh, Dan. What a beautiful sentence.
9 - Great Charlotte pov. (she settles on neither). *sigh*
10 - Lovelovelove! Naomi and Miles and Frank and the freighter. And Dan and Charlotte(!) of course. This is perfect!
11 - Brilliant! Just … brilliant.
12 - This is so, so beautiful. Aww.
13 - I love how Charlotte always seems to encourage Daniel, and this sentence feels so very in-character.

15 - Beautiful.
16 - This is awesome. Oh wow.
17 - *dies* Oh no. And oh yes because this is such a powerful sentence.
18 - This sounds so much like Miles. Love it. ;D
19 - This! Wow. Definitely another one of my favorites. Such a beautiful, vivid image.
20 - Wonderful.
21 - I love that you wrote that sentence for that prompt. It's so tragic. They are so tragic.
22 - I adore your Charlotte voice so, so much. But I already told you that, right?
23 - Another favorite. Gah.
24 - This is lovely.
25 - *sigh* Painful and in-character and beautiful.
26 - I kind of loved that scene, and I love your take on it even more.
27 - I love how that sentence fits “hide”. Very heartbreaking.
28 - Oh gosh. This started as so light and lovely and ended with - that. So sad and haunting. Favorite.
29 - Love it.
30 - ;( I don't even know what else to say.
31 - I think I'm going to have to buy that book now. *adds to list*
32 - (and for once -- for once -- it's enough) Love this, love everyone's (re-)actions.
33 - Another favorite, definitely. So, so, so heartbreaking.
34 - Gosh, I love this. I may be constantly repeating myself, but I love this.
35 - I love his sudden pang of realization here, it feels very in-character.
36 - This is extraordinarily beautiful. Oh wow.
37 - I'll say it again: They are so tragic, and you are the Queen of this pairing.
38 - His absolutely kills me. I can totally picture that scene. Wonderful.
39 - Oh Charlotte. Oh Juliet. Oh … *sighs and cries*

42 - Frank is so awesome. :D
43 - This is haunting and eerie. Oh god.
44 - Beautiful scene, very true to the characters.
45 - This. Awww. I love this and love these two and just … aww. Another favorite.
46 - It was, right? Worth it? At least for a little while. Oh these two. ;(
47 - Protective!Charlotte. Gotta love her.
48 - Beautiful.
49 - Such a lovely scene.
50 - I think you just broke my heart with this. Oh my. Absolutely beautiful and gut-wrenching.

Okay, I know I said you were wonderful before -- and you absolutely were then ;P -- but the levels of your kindness, thoughtfulness and all-around greatness has just defied all description reading this a second time (and not just the quick pass-over I had time for previously).

I ... guh. WOW. That you took the time to read and detail your reactions to every single scene is one of the absolute nicest things anyone has ever done for me (and I'm talking even beyond the scope of LJ or writing stuff). You had me grinning the entire time, because it was like getting 50 separate, lovely reviews all at once!

I'm just in shock, seriously, and awe of how great you are. If I ever need motivation to keep writing -- and god, sometimes I do -- I think I can keep pushing through knowing there are people out there like you who are so willing to give their time to offer such wonderful encouragement.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, a million times over.
