Ugh, this huuuuuuurts. I love it.

[shawarmabums]

Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked it. All hurts were completely intentional. :)

[shawarmabums]

Also, feel like a TOTAL moron because in (finally) rereading it I realized I cut out a HUGE chunk of Chapter 1 when copy-pasting from the kinkmeme. Not sure if it's worth going over, but I thought I should mention it.

Oops, lol.

This was all so bittersweet :( Very well written story and very believable.

[shawarmabums]

Thank you! I'm really glad it was believable as the subject matter is close to my heart.

sad, but beautiful!

[shawarmabums]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it despite all the sadness. <3

That was awesome. And all kinds of bittersweet and painful and real and wonderful. Thank you so much for writing it!
And thank you so much that love didn't magically save the day. I mean, love is great and all, but you just can't magically heal an addiction with it. So thank you for added realism with including the rehab and the relapse. <3
Great work and I like how you portrayed Howard - as a bad father, but not as a bad person.

[shawarmabums]

Thank you so much! Glad it felt real. I know addiction quite well, and part of the reason for the epilogue and their conversation in part 5 was to avoid the magical love cure trope you refer to. And yeah, I think Howard was just one of those people who was never meant to be a parent.

Oh man....that part where Tony ran away nearly gave me heart atk lol. I need some fluff right after reading this fic! It sure made my heart ache (a lot)!

But hey! thank you so much for this! It was beautiful work! (though I was secretly hoping for more smex scene lol) <3

[shawarmabums]

Thank you. <3 I know, I actually kind of wanted to write more sex scenes too, but I didn't know where to fit it in in terms of the structure I had going. I'm really happy you enjoyed the story even though it was definitely not light reading. :)

*grins* Whenever you have some place, stuff some smex in there girl! I'll follow wherever it is just to read it <3

<3 And I really really enjoy it! I'm not in to so much angst but I cannot stop reading this one lol, it makes me goes 'Ohmigoshhhh!!! they BETTER end up together'
