Honestly? It might be a few months before I'll be able to enjoy this genre again, cause I'm not often in the mood I'm in right now. But right now it's very close to perfect. A few -but distracting- spelling mistakes that I'd love for you to get rid of. But really, it works for me. Judging by the tags there are some recurrent themes here, and I'll avoid making assumptions, but the story seems very real and very honest and I'll keep an eye out for it, regardless of mood.

I'll get right on trying to find those spelling mistakes. Also I know what you mean about not in the mood for this fandom. Read wayyy to many, now I can only write it. Thanks for reading.

I like it. I'm a big fan of AU's and I'm intrigued about this one. I'm looking forward to more. : )

As some whose Mum had cancer (and survived), this is very... spot on. Charles's inner monologue is both delicious and disheartening to read.

My only gripe is the typos (for example, you wrote "than" a few times when it should've been "then"), and most importantly the fact that you keep writing names wrong D: It's Moira, not Moria, and it's Lensherr, not Lansharr. Which sounds like minor griping, but since this is something that leans so heavily on creating an atmosphere through immersive narration, typos like that are fairly jarring.
