This was so beautiful...I don't know if the music I was listening to (Xenosaga ending theme: Kokoro) did anything to add to it, but I have to seriously keep myself from sobbing uncontrollably over the keyboard.

This was just so emotional and touching, and you just captured the feel of everything so well...

Agh, I'm not making much sense, but...

It was beautiful. I guess that's the only way I can describe it without starting to cry. ^^()

[cryogenia]

Thank you. I am sorry I made you cry though XD;

[inuyashanohime]

XD It's okay. I actually like crying when I read stories...as odd as that sounds. It's kinda hard to explain. ^^()

But thank you so much for sharing this. ^_^()

I haven't been much reading fanfics lately, but I'm glad I decided to read this. It's sad, but seems sad in an almost "happy" way, and feels so calm and passionate at once. It's beautiful. ♥

[cryogenia]

Thanks :) That's what I was going for, is sad in a "happy" way.

[arivess]

That icon is deadly cute. O_O

[cryogenia]

Yeah, chibi Alfons should be a legal weapon >_>

This is so beautiful! The song definitely fit - such a great song, so sad/sweet/touching... I always love your Ed/Hei, but this is so emotional. You really pulled off the 'from the heart' writing. ^ ^ Lovely, simply lovely.

Thank you <3

This is gorgeous. I love how dreamlike it is. And this line:

No one is allowed to be so proud, he whispers, drawing him down; you never reach out when you're giving up.

Gah. I wish I were more coherent, but I am running on no sleep. Just know I adore this.

[cryogenia]

XD Thank you. I am also running on no sleep, coincidentally XD;

And a million thanks for the song, that I may now link to it <3

The emotion and concept behind this is really simply beautiful. Sad yet accepting is my absolute favorite type of story, and I think you captured the essence of that so well here. Some of the lines just rang so true. ♥

[cryogenia]

<3 It is my favorite kind of story, too. Not everything is happy bunnies all the time.
