This is the best story I have ever read. Like, literally. Not the best fanfiction, it's literally the best piece of literature I have ever encountered.
Here I sit, heart pounding, fingers trembling, and my stomach filled to the brim with hyperactive butterflies. Though it's the perfect, cliche state-of-being for someone who just asked their crush out, gave a presentation, or passed through some other life event, these feelings are mine for a different reason alltogether. After finishing a good book, it's only natural that we sit in absolute awe and wonder for a few moments. Sometimes we are sad that the ink has run dry, that those two words, "the end", were the last to grace the blessed pages, that the characters had all ridden off into the sunset with no sign of return. But more often than not, I think, we are left with a hollow, sickly sweet sense, deep within our core. We are left with mouths wide and eyes brimming with tears. We are put up onto a grand pedestal, our emotions on display for what seems like the world. So that "in the end" feeling is the one that occupies my body now. All I think of are the last words that I read, the final image of the two broken characters together at last still stands in my mind. So much hurt, pain, love, life. It is in this moment that I thank God for the beauty that is writing, the joy that is leaving this world for the story of two people who only exist inside the minds of authors and readers. I thank you for writing, for taking the time to write these words that take my breath away. Each line said, each breath taken, each drop of blood spilled, each shattering heart...They all made this into the best thing I ever could've read. So I thank you, for that, but I also bless you, as strange as it sounds. Yes, I sit here in my messy bed of covers and headphone cords, debating whether or not to pull an allnighter, and I bless your words. I thank whoever's in charge up there for making sure you were the one to have this great talent of writing you've worked at for so long, and I thank the same being for letting me find them. So, even if I'm a few years late, I thank you and thank you again, for entertaining me so, and restoring my faith in the joy that is writing.
Oh my days! This is one of the most perfect stories I have ever read! I felt every single part of it especially towards the end, I had a hole in my chest and thank god it got filled in at the end!! I've cries so many tears over this both happy and sad! It is nothing short of amazing thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent! Xoxo
Towards the end i started bawling my eyes out. I got so mad at myself that i couldnt read faster. I absolutly loved how you wrote this. Its just so perfect. Everything that went on in the story. I felt like i was really in the story. I felt my heart hurt when Frankie's did. I cried when he cried. I laughed and smiled when he did. Its just so perfect i cant even begin to describe it. I love this so fucking much i cant even. Thank you for writing this beautiful piece of perfection.
I love how this was written. How, in some chapters, you switched the perspective and then it was back to Frank's, and how it wouldn't seem like it would work, but it did. I love how much emotion was put into this story; how I could seemingly feel what the characters were. I love how you took your characters apart, but always pieced them back together when it seemed it wasn't possible anymore. Fuck, I just love the whole fucking thing!
this was so beautifully written that I didn't even get bored with the long paragraphs with no talking, it was just totally amazing and I loved how when Frank felt like his heart was being ripped out, I felt that too. It really felt that I was there and it was absolutely awesome, well done xxx
Without any doubt, this is the best story I've read. I am not quite sure if that is because I was once an anorexic, who too wished to be invisible. This was so damn touching... Reminded me of every breakdown I went through, and how, at the end of the day, all I wanted was to be saved. You managed to break me, and yet build me again completelly while reading it. I must confess I cried my heart out, and kept reading non stop... Just beautiful, all I ever wanted to say. I just hope you know how much of a lifesaver you are. Even if no one ever reads what I am writing, I couldn't stop it. I need to put through. I too wish to be loved. I need salvation.
Thank you for the story. It will be forever my favorite.
This is amazing. I was crying for a good four chapters straight! I though it would end and Gerard would never come back and then he did and I was like yay!!!!!!!!!!
This was simply amazing. There aren't enough words to describe how stunningly heart-wrenching and gorgeous and perfect this was. I cried. Hard. More than once. I was a sniveling, teary-eyed mess because of words. This beautiful string of words is definitely the best thing to have made me think and cry and then think and cry again in a long time.
This story has made me cry so many times and just. Before I always thought being numb would be better so I don't have to feel sad and depressed all the time, but then I read this and I realize that feeling is better than not feeling. Feeling means you're alive and you'll survive.
