The Seventh Day Flight - Comments

I love this, so, so much! :D

Absolutely beautiful. As with all of your works, there simply are no words.

You never cease to amaze and inspire me, oh, darling.

I don't think I'm going to be able to top any of the commens above, but I felt like I needed to say something about how this story affected me.

First when I opened it and read the summary I felt really drawn to read it. You have this amazing way to captivate people.

I read this through once and I ended up just lost for words and my thoughs were one big mess. It was nice though, the feeling I got when reading it.

As I think someone above me said, your characters are perfect. They have all this little things that makes them who they are. They're sweet and loving and caring and even though they are just words they're so, so real.

The second time I read it I noticed all these little things that I didn't notice the first time and it's wonderful how you manage to add all these details that no one but you would've ever though to put in this story. Sometimes the way you write really feel like you're just putting my own feelings and thoughts down on paper.

I also thought the way that you used the Origami promt was clever and such a beautiful part of the story. My favourite part was when Gerard gave Frank the wings and told him it was because he wanted him to see things from his perspective. All in all your writing never ceases to impress me, no matter what you write it simply cannot be anything but perfect.

And I hope I managed to convey my feelings through this badly written, possibly confusing comment =D

:crazy: I’m in a really hyper mood right now so I’m not sure how this comment will turn out. Maybe I’ll wait until I calm down. We’ll just have to see. But anyways.

It starts out very intriguing. There are so many questions just from the first sentence. Why has Frank locked himself in his apartment? Why would the narrator, whom we do not know the name of yet, want to make him wings? Do these two people love each other? Why the seventh day, exactly? This is what urges me to read on. Seriously. I just love how you can captivate your readers with one single sentence.

This character is really amusing. And... oh well I already know it’s Gerard because I did some peeking before I actually read. :cheese: Haha. But really. What kind of person makes wings and then narrates their actions to themselves? This Gerard, apparently, and it’s highly amusing, because you can tell that he genuinely means well.

Ooh. I like that it’s implied that something happened between Mikey and Frank but we don’t get the whole story right away. It’s kind of like teasing. Except I don’t really know because it’s making me laugh, and that’s cool too. And it’s kind of like, I would like to know what happened with Frank that made him lock himself in his apartment for seven days, but I would also like to see more interaction between Frank and Gerard, because they bounce off of each other perfectly.

Aw, Frank. I suppose that’s the first taste of a hint that we get. That something went wrong between Frank and Mikey and it was that bad.

I always ramble about this... but I can see everything so clearly in my head with your words. All the details, they’re there, and it’s just like looking at a picture. Reading a picture. That would be more appropriate to say. But really. I think that you are one of the best people out there who can fully describe things and make it beautiful all at once. Because something so ordinary as the kitchen, say, and then somehow in my head all I can see is the most beautiful one with your words. I don’t even know how that works. It could be the dingiest place like outside of Frank’s apartment and still, it’s the best one I’ve ever read. Also everything in my mind seems to be drenched in golden sunlight so maybe that’s why. But it’s your words, too. Mostly your words.

Gerard is very sweet and simple. I really like that about his character. It’s like, he’s pushing it with Frank, staying and all, but he’s not, because you get the gist that it’s just his nature, or that he really wants to comfort his friend. And poor Frank, just trying to deal with it all.

Oooooh. And the realization of it all is a calm wave. Mostly everything is cleared up and it’s just like... yeah, I really did let out a big “Oooooh”.

Ah. The whole last few paragraphs of the story just had me in a huge smile. And the ending, it was just so beautiful. I think you made the prompt fit in just perfectly. And even with Frank’s wings. I thought it was just so beautiful. :]]

I love absolutely everything you write. Seriously. And even if you hadn’t asked me to read this, I’m sure I would have creeped onto your profile and found it and read it anyways. ‘Cause I’m just so weird like that, or cool like that, or whatever. Anyways. The whole point is. I really liked it. One of those things that opened up my mind a little more, you know? This supply teacher at school is always telling us to do that. So yeah. I guess I’ll thank you too for letting me open up my mind. Even though that was pretty weird to say. Yeah. Um. Anyways. Beautiful story, as is everything you write.

I'm gonna owe you a comment on this one. A comment that actually tells you how much I needed this one-shot and how much I truly love it, and you, for it.
It was beautiful, gorgeous. I'm still wondering how you do it...

Oh my God, woman... you seriously have no idea what your writing does to me. It gives me hope. In this world full of just uglyness and awful terrible things... your writing, this story, makes all of that glitter and sparkle and just disappear.

Your writing gives me hope.
It gives me a reason to smile.
It makes me forget about all of the bad things...
And replaces it with the most magical feeling I have ever felt before.

It has me in tears, it always has me in tears.
You are my favorite favorite favorite author, in the entire world.
You need to be published, and cherished, and adored, because nobody else has ever written something the way that you do, and has ever affected me in such a way as you have.

This story was beautiful.
The prompt given was something that not a lot of people could pull off, and when I found out you had this prompt, I was STOKED. I knew you would pull something great off, but you proved me somewhat wrong.

This story was so much more than just 'great'. Great is a complete insult to how truly beautiful and wonderful this was. The storyline itself was beautiful - but as always, you make your Gerard characters just the most beautiful characters I have ever, ever read.

The smirk and little comment he threw at the sexy man about the blowjob in the beginning, made me just fall flat on my face for him. He is perfect.

And Frank, oh fragile little Frank. He too, is perfect. So perfect in his obvious imperfections, because you made him perfect. Do you want to know why I think that? Because your writing has this way of making us see things through the main character's eyes -- I saw the perfection that Gerard saw when he looked at his fragile, broken best friend... I saw it. I felt his emotions when he saw him, and my heart squeezed that first time he kissed him. You have this just... I can't even explain it without getting more and more emotional.

This is just too much, but oh God, this is just what you do.
Thank you for writing this story for us to read.
It is quite simply beautiful, and perfect, and just... amazing.

Thank you.
I love you. I know that sounds crazy to say, but I do.
I love you for making me feel this way. <3

[edit]
The second I clicked submit, I got an email notification for Masquerade.
That is magic, alright. <3

Yay I'm taking it's virginity. I shall comment on this by tomorrow night or it'll have to be mid next week as I already told you.

I seriously love you for writing this.
