Cerulean Boy - Comments

The way this story is written is beautiful. The vocabulary and descriptions jump from the page and into our minds. This is a story that isn't easily forgotten. If anyone is looking for an amazing and well-written story I would suggest this one without hesitation.

Oh I don't even know where to start. It's like you stole every star that stood from the sky and made your own sky which is this story and put them all up there, reflecting your life. You took the words and it's like no one should ever use them again coz no one can ever use them as beautifully as you did. I can't even. I felt like I was reading a constellation all throughout. Like you sucked the world dry of metaphors. Now there just galaxies and all the words belong to you. I want to take random phrases and make them song lyrics, story titles, just use them everywhere and share them so everyone can wish on them like they would on a star. It was just so pure and honesty and shimmering and breakable like what we think a star in the sky is like without ever knowing what they actually were. I don't think I'll ever know everything about this story but I feel like it is enough.

I read this story a little while ago, and I've been trying to find it ever since. It has honestly stayed with me for well over a year; I keep coming back to it. The words just echo in my head long after I've stopped reading them. The plot itself is whimsical and twisting and turning, purposefully vague yet beautiful in its eloquent simplicity. It's complex, with gorgeous descriptions and some of the most fantastic word choice I have ever heard, and yet, the feeling is so universal and simple. Artful word play based on sheer emotion.

This is honestly my favorite oneshot on this site. I could read it all day, I think. The picture in the layout is gorgeous too. This is a beautiful, beautiful story.

fucking yes. perfect.
never stop writing like this ruby.
fuck. it was classic yet new. i pretty much dizzy with admiration for you. you're why i write, ruby, because one day id like to capture a piece of the perfectio you produce everyday

*BE
sorry, I hate typos.
Now I'm embarrassed.

I was going to me all methodical about this since when I first read it it practically made me seethe in envy.
I want to tell you how incredible or beautiful or gut wrenching this is but that would just be an understatement, so I'll keep my trap shut.

I wish I had a fraction of your talent with words. This is probably the best thing I've ever read on here.
It's making my brain spin, for real.
I don't know whether I should feel inspired or if I should just throw in the towel while I'm already so far behind.

:cheese: That was amazing.

I just came across this randomly, and it was one of the most beautiful pieces of writing I've honestly ever read. From the opening lines I felt completely drawn in, and was just amazed by this Cerulean boy.

I will come back and write a more detailed review as soon as I have time, and i've subscribed to make sure I remember (and so I can read it lots. :tehe:) but I just had to tell you after the first time reading it how gorgeous this is. (:

I'm so glad you posted this. I've been waiting for ages, ever since I read a little bit in rate the story. :brightside:

Cerulean boy was beautiful, all luminous paper skin and gilded bones. This line has been stuck in my head for weeks.

Your descriptions and imagery and metaphors are unbelievably gorgeous. I can't even describe how much I love this. I was speaking to Sam about it last night, and she said that your writing was like a fairy tale - and she was right. It's so beautiful and wonderful. :3

I don't think you need to change the ending, it was incredible.

Anywayyyyy, I'll just shut up now. Love from your number two fan! <3 :tehe:

That was utterly amazing. Every single word...it was amazing. I completely agree with Tom Fletcher.. My heart sort of broke while reading this. It was so profound and heartfelt. Every little bit of it.

This was something totally outstanding. Beautifully written, everything in it is such a beautifully tragic and amazing thing. I love this so much.

Wow. Just... gah, y'know? :cheese:

Your original fiction is just as good as your fanfiction. The images you portrayed and the characters you created... they were real, but at the same time the images were so strong that all the metaphors played out real to me. I don't know if the characters themselves were meant to be an extended metaphor, but my mind created this kind of imaginary world where the couple really were made of paper and glass and gold and dirt and oak and dust. Kind of like... you know the advert for Comfort with the people made out of patches of material? :tehe: It was kind of like that, this little man-made world that seemed so natural in itself. It was like a fairytale, a more angsty and rough version of something you'd find in a kid's storybook, and the way you tell stories fits with this amazingly.

As ever I can't pick a favourite description, but I think my favourite part was the ending. Don't change it! :tehe: He remained there for hours trying desperately to remember how to cry, choking on the thickly spread irony. She was a glass girl too, underneath the caked mud and grime. She was a glass girl, and she could fragment and break to dust like he once had. She shattered like he did once upon that February and he swore to the stars that accused him, that he’d glue her back together, piece by piece by piece. Incredible.

Well done, this was well worth the wait :cute:
Love from your biggest fan :file: xxxx

I'm fucking speechless. That was seriously the most beautiful thing I've ever read in my entire life. You have an amazing way with words. It's stange but I can relate to this story in a weird way. Absolutely gorgeous.

That was beautiful.
