Wow...just wow. If there's one thing that can always get to me, it's regret and this is just chock full of it. Hehe *sobs*

So, yeah, to my chagrin I just realised that in my haste to recc this on my lj I didn't actually get around to commenting. *blush*

You know that I adore this and I really can't express how moving I found it. This is tragic in the true meaning of the word, and managed to make me feel heartbroken for all three protagonists.

To use a less elegant phrase: you nailed it. This is right up there with 'Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose' and for me, it doesn't get better than that.

You are such a sweetheart and I thank you for taking a chance and reading something (I know) you would not normally choose. I'm afraid my warning is going to scare a lot of people off, but I felt the need to be honest - the fic is honest and real after all.

I'm thrilled you enjoyed the story! *huge hugs*

Oh my god this was amazing. Heart-rendingly sad, but beautiful at the same time. A really wonderful piece of work. *sniffles*

Thank you for your kind comments. I've been in angsty mode lately, but sometimes in re-watching an episode or studying over screencaps, I'll pick up on some small thing that shows me the depth of what I see between John and Rodney and it leaves me a little sad. But I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it.
