I don't think I've ever cried so much while reading... anything. Amazing(ly sad) story, but I still loved it. The only thing I would ask you would be to write a happy piece next time to balance this story out. :) I've never been there and hope I never will, but I've a friend and a brother who tried a couple of time and never succeeded (thank God). Seeing it on the outside is never easy, so I can't even begin to imagine how it would feel. Thank you for writing this.

I cried so much reading this, the whole thing. It's strong writing, and everything I've ever read by you has been strong, but all of the comments show just how much emotion you've evoked in people and that says something. I know I've had to stop so many times during the reading of this story, especially during this final chapter just because I was crying so hard that I couldn't see.

I had a feeling that this was where the story was headed the whole time, and yes I was upset but I do think you were right in the way you wrote it, especially with this epilogue, with Will telling the kids that he was angry with Puck and that is was okay for them to be angry and miss him at the same time. It was beautiful, as was what Kurt did.

In short, this was fantastic,and as much as I'd like to read the Sarah one-shot, I think we could all do with something a teensy bit happier also.

So I like to tell myself that crying is good for the soul and that a little angst can do the heart good. I even intentionally set out to reread some angst stories simply because I want to enjoy a good cry, even though I'm not sad. But I've got to be honest, I don't think I could handle rereading this story. Not that it isn't completely amazing because it totally is. But my heart, eyes and stupid nose just wouldn't be able to handle it

You owe me a box of tissues. Having sort of fallen off the face of the earth due to my own health issues the last few months I basically emotionally injured myself by (re)reading through this entire story tonight in one shot as to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything that happened earlier in the story

I have to admit that I held off on commenting for most of this (I think I've commented on this once) since I was usually at work when I would see an update and I'd have to wait because I just knew I'd be crying. And I have to tell you that this is one of the most amazing stories that I've ever gotten to read. It physically hits you and I mean that in the best way possible. I may be in the minority but I wasn't rooting for the alternate ending because this felt like the natural ending, if that makes sense. I'm not saying that I think Puck should have committed suicide but with the way everything played out, I didn't see it ending any other way and I think any alternate ending would have, as you mentioned, undermined a lot of what happened in this story
