Play Crack The Sky - Comments

Oh wow this is perfect.
Your description of the girl who jumped off the building make me physically cringe because I could clearly imagine her bones sticking out and... UGH
Its is so good!

This is so beautiful and so lovely. I'm so glad that you mentioned what you did for me to read this. I don't regret it at all. I adored this so, so much.

jesus ive read this so many times over the past months and its so great and im beYOND jealous of you and that little summary/description god why i dont even know what to say because i love this so much and its so perfect and sad and i love danny and i swear i could cry over this which im pretty sure i have when i read it the second time bc i went slower and read carefully at it's so sad and you are truly a genius
i just want to put my favourite parts in this comment but it'd literally be the whole thing so i'll leave you with how much "When he took you away from me he took away my lungs and brain and heart and my guts, I'm an empty shell without you, I'm nothing and I just want it to end because I'm dead without you.." because i seriously wish i thought of something like that because its such a great line and this whole thing is and im in love ^_^

this actually made me literally shed tears. it was so fantastic, i honestly don't even have words because the english language can't do this story justice. i love every word you write.

Oh my god. This is beautiful. I don't know why, but it's making me feel like I need to have a goo cry. It's beautiful. Your writing style is so beautiful. I'm weeping because this is so fantastic.

i still love this so much.

i swear to you, i will never tire of this. never ever ever ever (ever ever).

I loved this. So much. It was amazing.

I'm reading this again and I'm feeling very nostalgic and sentimental because I think of Danny and Alfie as real people and I've gotten attached to them even though I haven't read this in a while so I'm sorry if I got your hopes up thinking someone else has commented this when it's really only me again. Gahh, this was so fucking lovely, I'm crying again because it's so heartwrenching and perfect and I could feel and taste and hear the emotion in everything and maybe that's why I find this so amazing because I can relate to it and parts of it hit close to home and I don't know what to do with myself.

I love you I love you I love you so much Alfie I always will forever and tell my mum I'm sorry for letting her down and for taking Dad's way out I'll love you forever and always and for eternity I'm sorry I'm so sorry I love you so much, Danny.

Oh my god Hannah what are you trying to do to me, the first time I read it I was full on sobbing and it lasted for about thirty minutes and I don't think I told you how much I was actually crying because I didn't want you to feel guilty but now I'm rambling about how emotional this makes me (in a GOOD way) and I think I've told you already in comments//messages what half of this story comment is talking about so I'M SORRY for repeating myself but I'm in a ~mood and feel like talking about Danny and Alfie. And just the very beginning conversation where they're talking about suicide, and Danny was completely right in saying how ironic it was, and I can imagine him perfectly writing the letter and everything he was feeling and I wonder how Alfie felt when he read it and THIS NEEDS TO BE MADE INTO A MOVIE directed by you, starring lovely people to play Alfie and Danny and I'll be something lame like 'stage-craft' and do the back lighting or some shit. ANYWAYS I loved this (again) and love you. <333

okay holy jesus fuck hannah you broke my poor, pathetic heart.
Danny, my sweet little Danny is gone because he honestly felt there was no other way.
I absolutely adore that you used Play Crack The Sky as the title/theme behind this,
because I am obsessed with Brand New and so many people don't realize that the
song really is about the end, about dying and the emotions that come from that.

From the moment I read the title I knew what was going to happen,
but of course that didn't stop me from reading and falling even
deeper in love with your beautiful work, the wonderful, real stories
of life and love and heartbreak that you weave so perfectly together.

The way you write,
your words almost become this entity that are able to physically
manipulate the way I feel, the way I think and breathe.
It's as if they come to life from the metaphorical "page" and grip at my throat,
making my lungs burn and eyes water--even though this is fiction, it feels entirely real.

Your imagery is absoultely perfect,
vivid and enrapturing, completely absorbing in this entirely heartbreaking
way that only serves to make your writing all that much more awe-inspiring.

"They call 'em rogues. They travel fast and alone.
One hundred foot faces of God's good ocean gone wrong.
What they call love is a risk,
'Cause you will always get hit
Out of nowhere by some wave
And end up on your own."

That verse from the sound lept spinning around in my mind,
especially when Danny (you) wrote "he made me do this"--
because that is what love can do to you, it changes you entirely
and has the power to flip your entire existance around,
making the world crash down around your ears.
"Love is a risk, you'll always get hit"
That line coincides so perfectly with that scene, I can't even tell you.

" But the wrong words will strand you.
Come off course while you sleep.
Sweep your boat out to sea
Or dashed to bits on the reef."

That verse also just illuminates your point perfectly,
I think this song was an amazing choice for this story.
Danny was knocked completely off-course by stupid fucking Toby
and his web of hurtful, vindictive lies.
I understand that he loves his sister more than anything but still...
ugh.

" but I don't have forever because my vision is getting blurry and soft and I don't have much time because of the pills and oh god I'm crying I swore I wouldn't cry but I love you I love you I love you with every fibre atom inch of my body and nobody is ever going to love you as much as I love you goodbye thank you for being the best person to ever be in my life and thank you for pretending to love me because I see now that you never did and you just wanted him but I love you and I'm sorry tell Marie that I'm sorry for everything and tell that goddamn bastard of yours that I will trying my fucking hardest to possess him and make him regret everything and make him live like I've been living without you I love you I love you I love you so much Alfie I always will forever and tell my mum I'm sorry for letting her down and for taking Dad's way out I'll love you forever and always and for eternity I'm sorry I'm so sorry I love you so much, Danny xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

The ending was absoutely perfect in every way, truly.
I admire, so much, how you are able to convey this powerful story
in a way that isn't horribly cliche' and terrible to read.
Not at all--you are a genius.

I also think the syntax was perfect,
the way you structured your sentences and paragraphs
just made everything seem that much more real,
your tone was dead-on and perfect and true.

I really don't think I can fully convey all that I feel towards this piece,
but just know that I think it is one of the most amazing stories I have ever read.

play crack the sky-favorite brand new song of all time

okay real comment after I read it

oh my god, i can't stop crying.

I don't usually do slash stories, but this was amazing.

This was so sad, heartbreaking even, but really beautiful all the same. I know that I'll always think of the story from now on when I listen to Play Crack the Sky, but I don't mind, the two fit together perfectly.

Holy fuck. This was amazing.
And heartbreaking.
And oh god, I hate myself for not having something substantial to say but know this was amazing and kay I'm done now.

OH MY GOD I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT I JUST NOW SAW THIS AND THE LAYOUT IS PERFECT AND I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE THE FUCK THIS IS GOING TO LEAD TO BUT WHATEVER IT IS, I CAN'T WAIT AND I'LL USE THE WORD LOVELY AGAIN, I'VE BEEN FAVORING THAT WORD LATELY. THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT, AND SHIT YOU THINK MY CAPS LOCK BUTTON IS ON OR... I'm excited. <3
