Fly Away - Comments

This is truly amazing. I loved how emotions weren't a key feature, and Brendon was portrayed as a normal human being during times like this. He questions when Ryan will die, when he will get to fuck somebody, etc. It's captivating right from the first line, and it will never not take my breath away no matter how many times I read it. The ending is amazing, it leaves you wondering what happens, and the disease is never mention, which leaves so many questions that I feel are better unknown. I admit, I cried during this but it's just so stunning!

I love everything about this :)

...wow. Just wow. This was seriously one of the most beautiful and unique things that I have ever read. I loved how you continued the analogy of being a bird throughout the story and applied to both Ryan and Brendon. Speaking of Brendon, I adore you made him... well, like Dru said, human. You didn't make him a perfect person who was there for Ryan every step of the way, he was a human with resentment and anger.

That ending was... well, like everything else about this story, beautiful. That is really all I can say.

He died, didn't he? Not at that moment. I saw this in the backstory thread (again). And so obviously he would, but I thought the ending was the perfect way to convey that since it was rather open. I'm a sucker for birds in stories. And you did it beautifully here. It wasn't too overplayed and I liked how the birds were a symbol for both of them, not just Ryan. I love how Brendon's human and he had that line about when he'd be able to fuck someone. It kind of hurt, but it was real. I think they both love each other desperately, but both are ready for the release that will come with Ryan's death. Ryan won't be in pain and Brendon will be able to find that normalcy he wants. I don't think that makes Brendon a bad person. He still loves Ryan.

I really love how you never say the disease. I know what it is, but I like how it's never said.

Oh, I remember reading this a long while back. (: Reading it again did make me cry, as it did last time. I have to say, that after I finished reading it, I thought about it for so long afterward. It was just...one of those one-shots that truly stay with you long after you've finished reading. I rarely read stories like this - this is a fanfic, right? I doubt it, but if it is, I didn't even know that it was! Haha. - because it makes me so emotional. The flow of this is amazing, and...oh, it was just perfect. Brendan's struggle was well-written, even though it sounds macabre to me saying that. Like I said, reading this again made me cry. You've done such a lovely job with this and I'm really shocked to find that this doesn't have close to a million comments like it deserves. Lovely job, once again (: <3

This was lovely.

The summary was good, it drew me in straight away. I like your writing style, your words have a great flow to them and there's a certain poetry to everything youvsay. Maybe it's just me but I felt that this whole story had a very pure peaceful time to this. Maybe because of the minimal dialogue or the mention of snow, but I think this also reflected Ryans wishes to be at peace. I also thought Brendan's struggle was very well written, it was believable. I think you dud an excellent job with this story, especially considering the difficult subject matter. Well done.

The end made me want to cry! I just have to say that right away. The layout works perfectly for the story. Simple just like the whole concept. It's wonderfully written. It's not overbearing but at the same time it gives you a beautiful development and display of the characters themselves. You understand them in a way. And I like that they're both kind of just waiting for him to die instead of fighting anymore. It makes it that much more real and that much more sad as well.

Okay, so first of all, I love how simple the layout and banner is. It's not too fussy and it's really, really beautiful (: Second, the summary pulled me in right away. It's very beautiful as well <3 And third, I really love now this was written. It has no many emotions in it; especially the beginning, when he wanted to see the bird. Somehow, that made my heart hurt for him. Poor guy. He's dying and the only thing that might make him feel better at the moment isn't there. :( Also, I absolutely love the relationship that Branden and Ryan have. It's so sweet how they react and talk to each other. I won't lie, I teared up like crazy when Branden helped Ryan outside. However, when I read the ending, I burst into tears. It was so touching and sad at the same time. dfjslfjsladk >.<
You are absolutely amazing. Your talent astounds me. Really, it does. I can't wait to read the rest of your work. Lovely job, hunny! <3
