SO I HAVEN'T EVEN READ THIS CHAPTER YET, BUUUUUT BEFORE I GOT ALL CAUGHT UP IN THE ACTION/ DRAMZ/ HEARTBREAKING/ CHEERING WHATEVER YOU HAVE IN STORE, I WANTED TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION (PROBABLY (IN CAPSLOCK) FOR THE RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF EFFORT AND TIME YOU PUT INTO THIS. PROBABLY GRATITUDE IS A BETTER WORD HERE BC I CAN'T EVEN WRAP MY HEAD AROUND IT, WITH ALL THE AHMAZING DETAILS AND MOTIFS AND THEMES.

SOOOOO....IMMA GO READ NOW, AND THEN RAGE CAPSLOCK OVER THE SHEER AMOUNT OF WIN, AND THEN I'M GOING TO GO WRITE MY THESIS ON THIS. OR STHG.

OH AND I WOULD LIKE A PDF PLZ AND THANK YOU. CAN I MESS WITH IT AND ADD ~ILLUSTRATIONS~?

So this ended up with capslock as default with moments of ~ascended losercase~ bc I needed something for emphasis where capslock would normally suffice.

YOUR DREAM IS SO CHILLING

LOL I THOUGHT THE THERAPIST MADE HER ~MOLDY~ FOR A MOMENT. YOUR ACTUAL DESCRIPTION SOUNDS SPOT ON.

INNOCENT PEOPLE. OF COURSE. OF COURSE. THAT WOULD REALLY GET TO HER.

NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. I THOUGHT THAT WOMAN ON THE HOOKS WAS DEAD EARLIER. NO. NO. I KNEW IT WAS AN IFFY READING, BUT I DECIDED TO GO WITH IT, NO. NO. OH GOSH NO. BRB FORGETTING AND REGAINING SANITY.

THE WAY GILLIAN REMEMBERS. THE WAY SHE'S ALL CLINICAL. EVEN WHEN THE NARRATIVE ISN'T SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT IT, SHE'S ALL ANALYTIC, ALL DETATCHED, "EXERTING HIS CONTROL" AND SO FORTH.

oh miss gillian. oh honey. is that really what happened to le forte?

Also, Cal, way to ask leading questions.

Just on how much I'd lose heart. broken ( ... )

YEAH I NEED TO FIX THE IFFY WOMAN DYING SCENE. MY BAD.

Le Fort... Hmmm, WHO SHOT LE FORT?
-I ONLY TOUCHED ON FEELINGS. ONLY A LITTLE AT A TIME.
YES, GILLIAN STAYED ANGRY. MY FOSTER IS AN ACTUAL WOMAN, WHO HOLDS GRUDGES. BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THEY DO. I AM GLAD YOU'RE CONFLICTED OVER THE 'GILLIAN' PART. IT WAS IFFY.

CONSIDERING I'M FROM NORTHERN VA, I CAN TELL YOU WHERE TO GO. I CAN ALSO TELL YOU THAT IT'S FREAKISHLY EXPENSIVE TO LIVE THERE. TRUFAX.

I LOVE HOW CONFUSED YOU ARE OVER HENRI.

THE DREAMS WERE THE FIRST THING I WROTE OF THIS CHAPTER. I LOVE THEM.

YOU MAY STEAL MY POSTCARDS. BECAUSE I LOVE YOU BB.

BONES DEJA VU? WHERRRRRRRE?

I SORT OF LIKE WALLOWSKI TOO. SHE WASHES HER HANDS, DON'T WORRY.

I LOVE THAT YOU CAN'T DECIDE. THIS PLEASES ME.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN NEAT, TIDY ENDINGS. THEY'RE UNREALISTIC AND STUPID. THAT'S WHY THIS IS THE WAY IT IS.

THANK YOU FRIEND. YOU AND PINEAPPLE WERE THE ONES I CARED ABOUT WHEN I WROTE THIS. SO THANKS FOR HELPING ME POWER THROUGH.

PDF? I'D LIKE ONE PLEASE!

Dude. DUDE. Gillian! Henri. Cal. Nightmares. Healing. PT. Emily. YES. ALSO, NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR THE LENGTH. I AM ONE OF THOSE CRAZY FREAKS THAT LOVE EXTREMELY LONG CHAPTERS. Which is why I am such a fan of this. I love long chapters with all these details. AND I'M EXCITED FOR THE EPILOGUE. YAY.

I love that Gillian and Henri cleared the air. I love that Cal only visited once. In fact, I love when Gillian interacted with Cal just to pretty much pwn him. When she said it's Gillian I cheered so hard. I love the new contract idea and re-evaluating her life. That's so perfect. Eveyone re-evaluates after a while, especially after a traumatic event like hers and I like that she's taking it slowly and carefully but not completely cutting Cal out of her life. I love the SHOEBOX! THE SHOEBOX! ;ALKSDJFA;LKDS YES. I love that Emily stopped by and they went over the adventures. LOVE that scene so much. I love at the end how she booked that flight based off of what Emily told her. Very nice. I totally smiled at the end ( ... )

YOU SHALL HAVE ONE MAH FRIEND :)

GILLIAN HENRI CAL. YES. IT'S THAT CRAZY.

MY WHOLE THING IS THAT FOLLOWING AN EVENT LIKE THIS, GILLIAN WOULDN'T FALL INTO CAL'S LAP. SHAME ON THOSE WHO ACTUALLY THINK SHE WOULD. OF COURSE SHE STILL WANTS HIM IN HER LIFE, BUT HE DOESN'T GET TO BE WHAT HE ONCE WAS. THAT'S NOT FAIR. YAY THE SHOEBOX. Emily + Gillian = love.

Cal is an idiot, isn't he. Poor guy.

Thank you for enjoying this. And reading it all and always reviewing. Amazing. Seriously, thanks for taking this journey with me.

Oh. Ohh. That's perfect. I know there's an epilogue, but for now I have to say that this is the perfect ending to one of the greatest fics I'v ever read. I love that everything doesn't fix itself up instantly, and actually takes time to fall into place. And I really love Gillian going to Buenos Aires alone. Thank you for this wonderful story!

OHEMGEE.
I finished this right before the two hour episode and now I'm so souped.
This was seriously one of the best fanfics I've ever read.
Thank you for keeping me entertained :D
