Lovely.

Thank you!

Oh, I made the most pathetically broken little sound as I read the ending - a good thing, I assure you.

[krabapple]

Oh, I'm glad that's a good thing. Thank you for the lovely feedback! :)

Very lovely, with a nice sense of the quiet places they keep trying to create.

[krabapple]

Thank you so much!

Oh, that's just wonderful. I love what's alluded to in the first one, the happiness and hope in the second, the melancholy in the third -- and the fourth is just devastating. ♥

only without pain, or doubt, or time

Because that's what got them in the end, wasn't it? *sniffs* Perfect line.

Oh, thank you! The feedback is lovely, and I'm glad you thought the fic worked. :) Thanks again!

Your comment really helped me understand that last line, and this fic, in its full complexity -- those three things are the perfect way to end this, something that tries to take a complete look at their relationship. Wonderful, thank you for writing!

Oh wow. This was so bittersweet and beautiful. And that ending... It killed me dead in the best way possible.

Thank you so much. I appreciate the feedback -- you always write such lovely things. :)
