Beautiful. Love it. Adorable.

Lovely ending to a sad story :)

Wonderful writing sweetie!

[remember_nomore]

Thank you sweetie. I had a blast writing this.

so so so perfect
*hugs you hard*
just gorgeous

[remember_nomore]

hehehe You know I'm gonna poke you for points that you liked right? *pokepokepoke*

*snuggle* Ty honey, I loved this damn series.

[denied_heaven]

love love the angel/linds fight but you know that
love the backtracking to the patchwork quilt and working all that in
love that he has a wonderful life after all hes been through.. least i think he does *tilt head*
just
*sigh*
so so good

[remember_nomore]

hehehe. Those are my favorite parts too. It's funny because the Angel/Lindsey is the last thing you'd think that would be easy for me [at least I think so] and that came the easiest.. *cough*
I think it's their childish bickering.
The quilt idea was planned from the very beginning. I planned that in NAshville. lol.
*hugs* At least this chapter didn't make you cry.

That was a perfect ending for Lindsey :) Amazing.

[remember_nomore]

TY dear. I had a lot of fun writing this.

[scribophile]

Ooh, this was such a fitting ending. *sigh* I'm just so impressed with how beautifully you handled this series - it feels a little strange for it to be done. =)

[remember_nomore]

Awww thank you honey. I had so much fun writing this I can't even begin to tell you.
It does feel a bit off for it to be compleated. But I'm glad it is, it's all bittersweet.

Now I should go work on Tara's claim soon :) Once I get out of the Lindsey state of mind I'm currently in. hehe.

I just found this and read all the parts in one go. What a beautiful evocation of Lindsay's past and it's so damn plausible.

Really beautiful writing and a story that I'll remember for a long time to come. I'd comment more, but you've left me kind of speechless.

Ever have a really bad night and then something totally harmless and random just make your day? I think this just might be it.

Thank you so much for the feedback, there are very few fics that I keep close to me with such care and this is one of them. I was very pleased with how it came out and it means a lot that you read it all and were so moved.

I really do hope you come back and read more writing that I've done, I'd love to hear from you :)

[May I also ask how you found your way here? I'm curious is all]

[sparrow2000]

I'm chuffed to bits that I could cheer you up!
And I'll certainly be looking at the other writing you've done. I'm a long time reader in the fandom so I always kind of think I've read most of the stuff out there, but it's so lovely to come across someone really good that I haven't read before.

I'm also just starting to spread my wings with writing myself and it's fascinating seeing new takes on such familiar characaters. There's definitely a reason why we're all still so hypnotised by these characters.

To answer your question, I came across the story while wandering through the nominations list at the forbiddenawards I always find awards sites are a great way of finding new stories you wouldn't normally come across.

Hope you have a great day now!

I'd very much like to see what you think of some of the other things I've written. There are pairings that I love writing that make most people go WTF. I get too happy when I see someone discover something new that I've written, esp if it's a new pairing.

I did that last year, if you look at the last entry in this journal you'll see the roundup that I did for 06 and I don't think I can ever top that again. Over 81,000 words combined. I'm quite proud of the two series that I did, one being this one and the other being Your Eternal Sin that is quite out of the box.

Box? What box? That's how I am. Boxes are to stand on when you have news. That's my opinion.

Oh you're telling me. I love looking at diff award nom lists. Most of them make you go 'ohh...now I like that one!'

I'm off of work and it's not even 4. I can deal. :)
