    So, I love the way you write. I really do. However, the chapter was kind of boring. I mean, just not much happened. It seems like you have a good plot and will have a lot happening, it just didn't seem like it from that first chapter. I do want to know what comes about that "but" in the very first and last line. And I do want to know why Gerard was crying. I just wish there was more there.

    :/

    I feel so stupid now.
    I dind't realize this wasn't a one-shot. And I come to say this... I don't know how many months after I'd posted a comment.

    Will it be continued someday?

    I love the co-relation behind the phone call, the philosophy, and "i'll miss you"
    Its amazing.

    What can I say? You've got me crying and speechless.
    I know this was posted like a year ago, but I read it today and just... wow.

    It's so fucking sad; more knowing that things like that have happened in reality. A lot of people take their lives for granted, when it can be taken away from them so easily. They don't live to the fullest, and only when they're about to leave is when they realize the mistakes they've done and try to correct them, but it's too fucking late.

    I should be angry at Mikey... but he was genuinely unaware of what was happening. And Gerard... not saying anything because he wanted the last conversation he had with his brother to be happy; yet getting the message across that he was gonna miss him and all of the other people that weren't with him. "I'll miss you.." That was devastating.

    This is really a great one-shot, and it reminds people that they shouldn't wait till the last minute to do the things they wanna do.

    This is absolutely amazing.

    There's not a single error... The plot is original.

    God, why is it so hard to find stories like this anymore???

    Anyway, you've made a subscriber out of me.

    Please write more. It's not like I wanna see Gerard die, but it's just a fantastic story.

    Absolutely phenominal.

    You drew me in with the first line on this one even though I didn't quite understand what it was meant to be until the end. I assume Gee is going to die. You've put into words what anyone would be saying/thinking when they suddenly realise, "Shit - this is it!"

    Again, breathtakingly wonderful - please write lots and lots more. I don't want to read that Gerard's dead, but the suspense at the end (clever use of the opening sentence) makes me want to read on no matter how upsetting it is.

    SUPERB

    Please please please don't make Gerard die Cry
    Isa, you're back. Back a thousand fold.
    Welcome, to the dark side :)

    Firstly, the opening lines were enough to capture me. Your descriptions and the way you set the atmosphere was beautiful.

    "If something happens, you'll carry on, won't you?" - I love how Mikey adressed that Gerard talks in riddles. It's just something I can see him do, and it develops the character nicely.

    Gerard laughed again, soft and melodic. - I can actually FEEL his voice down my spine. Is that weird? I don't think so, you wrote it beautifully. It was almost poetic, the way everything flowed and continued on.

    I also particularly love the way Mikey [way... Mikey... :tehe:] is reassuring Gerard that everything is okay - it really matures his character alot.

    The ending is keeping me in utter suspense, you must update as soon as possible.

    ILY sweetie In Love

    I read the thing. Then I sat back, amazed. Then I realised the significance of the last line and freaked out.

    You're gonna get him involved in a horrible accident, aren't you?

    Nooooo. T.T

    Wow. This is amazing, truely.
    The thing I loved most about it is how nothing is really told to the reader, but how everything just seems to 'unfold', and you just seem to know what's going to happen.
    It's suspenseful, but nothing seems rushed or like an 'action' movie. The descriptions you used, however subtle, just made the scene... tangible, in a way.
    The dialog was written beautifully, too. The way you captured Gerard's pain and rambling philosophies was dead on.
    You've probably been told this a million times, but you're a wonderful writer.

    Oh, no! Oh, no!
    This is so well written, and unlike most fics concerning MCR, it actually has a plot outside of the band. I really got into it, and now I'm on tenderhooks, waiting for more. Thank God, it's not a one-shot, which it could've been.

    Amazing.
    I feel like a broken record, you've read comments like mine over and over, I'm sure. But it is, it really, really is.

    Writer's block my ass.
    You're back.
    You're back times a million.
    Isn't it funny how writer's block can make you a better writer. I didn't think it was possible, but you're...loads better.

    It's beautiful.
    Breathtaking really.

    I cannot believe how impeccable this is.

    And one thing is repeating through my mind right now:

    Gerard is going to die. Isn't he?

    Ohgod wifey.
    I love your sad stories.

    I was really happy after to agreeing to read this, that I found out it was about 9/11. I was expecting the whole, Gerard on the boat thing... but the plane. Wow.
    No grammar mistakes. No spelling mistakes, even. Grammar genius, eh?

    Gerard's voice sounded clipped, like he was running out of time for all the words that were threatening to spill from his mouth, everything that was left unsaid.

    I know its already been said, but a) I loved that line and b) You have a great use of metaphors. And I can't really say anything else that hasn't been said before apart from: Well done. I'm subscribing. Greatt plot and very well written

    A good story help my terrible cough that's keeping my home feel a tad bit better. xD
    Your stories are really the only fanfictions I'll read on my own free will outside this thread. When I see them on the boards that is. The reason I like yours are because you make the characters seem more life-like and give them real and believable characteristics a lot of people don't do in fanfics.

    Even though there was only one chapter, I felt that there were bits and peices of you putting your touches in the way Mikey and Gerard were talking.

    What the hell!@#$%??
    You always make any fanfic I read suspenseful at the end! Why are you doing this to me? You're trying to get me to read on right? Well, you got me.
    It's just that good. No errors at all.
