The Light That Wraps You - Comments

this was incredible, definitely one of my favourites ever, I may have cried in like every chapter but it was beautifully written!

@ grace_lou_freebush
Thank you so, so much for this comment. I...I don't even really know what to write here, other than feedback like this is a huge part of the reason I love writing, and why I strive to always improve and keep it up. So thank you very much for your amazing words, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

This story. Just. It was beautiful. You took an enormous risk by writing a fanfic over something so fragile as a real life player's death. It could have been juvenile and distasteful, but you truly pulled it through. Instead of belittling such a tragic event, you really brought it to life. Your characters, every single one of them down to people barely mentioned, were so well rounded and believable. Their struggles became my struggles, if only for a few hours. I know this is fiction. I know it is. But it still felt so real. Like it could be true. Which is so gripping and wonderful and tragic. I can't even imagine the amount of research you had to do to get all the facts straight so as to not dishonor the real people affected by the real events that this was based upon. I applaud you and your soul for going through all of that hard work and dedication. And thank you for sharing such a moving story with the world. I know that it will stick with me for a long, long time.

PS I knew this was going to be great from your proper use of "whom" in the first chapter. So congratulations for having good grammar! :]]

WOW....this has to be probably the most heartfelt, heart wrenching, yet amazing stories I have yet to read on Mibba. I almost lost it when Kris asked her if he could hear Luc's heart beat, but held it together....until I got to the last chapter, then the tears were just flowing. What an amazing ending to an even more amazing story. This is so unlike anything I have read, especially fanfics, and I just want you to know how much I absolutely loved it! You are greatly talented and I hope you continue to write your awesome stories. I have been subscribed to 500 Days for a while, so I'm surprised that I just now found this one, but I'm so glad I did. I just caught up to the sequel to this - Over You - and that story is amazing as well. I am anxiously awaiting an update on it! :) But I guess I should save that comment for that story....I just saw this prequel listed at the top of that story and clicked to read it and was just totally blown away. Again, congrats on an amazing story and I will now be looking to see what else of yours I can read! I am very picky about what stories I read, I only have a few "favorite" authors on this site, and you are definitely counted among those now. I always try to comment on stories I'm reading to let the authors know how much I appreciate their hard work and dedication to the stories that they write and share with us on here, and I must say this story will be one of my all time favorites! Just......WOW!

wow... I am trying to hold myself together. I just finished the story. It feels weird calling it that even though that is what it is. You have a gift with words don't let that pass you by just like Lux couldn't let the gift of life and a fearful of passion pass her by as well. I may not know much about hockey growing up in Ohio and now that I am 20 I may just actually start to be learning about it, but to know that such great people played the game who were great not only in talent but in Character as well fosters that love for the sport. Also to learn that the fans truly care for one another is amazing. Great job

Wow ... I just read that entire story in one sitting and let me tell you, between the chills, the fits of laughter and the overall tears, I can't explain to you the reasons and just how great that story is and the joy it was to read. I've read A LOT of stories in general and I've written a lot of comments to authors about how this story is really good but I am honestly almost at a loss for words with this one. You're descriptions were magical, you attention to detail made the story and I wasn't just reading a romance/hockey fanfic I was reading a story about hope and life and love and people finding each other. The timing could not have been better for me to find this story yesterday, I was in a really dark place and I read this and it really got me thinking and you know things could be worse and we all just need some love. There is nothing you could have done to make this story anymore amazing and perfect than it is. I just ... wow
Honestly, thank you; even the title is inviting

I feel like an emotional sponge that was just wrung out. What an incredible story. Amazing. I wish I had the words to express my gratitude for a beautifully written love story.

I absolutely loved this story! It made me laugh and it made me cry! This is one of the best stories I have ever read! I've never read such a touching story! I cried my way through so many of the chapters! I loved how you had Luc in the story. I can't even express how this story made me feel. I want to thank you for such an amazingly beautiful story!

Such a great story! I'm happy I read it but I hate to say that it made me cry, but I'm fine with it only because of how good it is. Good job writing :)

This story is amazing. I balled my eyes out for like the last four chapters. Loved it. My favorite story on Mibba!!!

I've read this story several times. I think it may be my favorite hockey story. It doesn't matter how many times I read it, it always makes me cry like a baby. I only really got into hockey last year, so I wasn't a fan when Luc was killed and knew nothing of him, but because this story is so well written, it makes me feel like he was a friend. This story was beautifully written.
I hate to say it but the first time I read this, I cursed you up and down because it made me cry so hard. But like I said, I love this story, great job. I hope that I can write something as moving as this some day. Great job again. :-) <3

I am just going to say this right now...this is probably the best fanfic I've ever read. I can usually seperate myself emotionally from a story, because I know it's just that - a story - but I can't even count the times this story made me absolutely break down into ugly, sobbing tears as I read it. It was beautiful and powerful and I am beyond glad that I stumbled across it. Thank you for writing such a moving tribute to Luc and they way he changed the lives of everyone around him - especially Kris. In this masterpiece his memory lives on in a very beautiful way. You should be so proud of this.

Amazing story! I loved it!

absolutely incredible. this story is so moving, i can't even begin to describe. i cried and laughed and cried some more! best hockey story i've read. please continue writing, you are amazing!! <3

Words can not describe how much I love this story. <3

This is amazing. You deserve all of the awards, every last damn one.

you absolutely moved to tears. if i could post a picture on here i would take a pathetic pic of how scary and sad i look to prove it! this was so heart warming and i never want you to take it down. i want to print every page and keep it next to my bed and read it everyday. this story made me think to cherish every momen and not question the gifts given to me, especially life and the people around me. you wrote this so eloquently. i fell in love, had my heart broken, experienced death and rebirth all by your words. thank you.

I finished your story tonight and, as all your readers have said, I am at a loss for words. I have read many fanfics and this story honestly connected with my soul. I sobbed during the epilogue feeling the grief and release of Luc's family. Truly, truly amazing. You have a gift and you should be extremely proud!

I've just finished this story and just wanted to tell you how beautiful it was. I loved every chapter and you are such an amazing writer. This would definitely be up there in my favourite stories.
You did an excellent job :)

I just spent the entire day reading this and I don't even know what to say. I'm in tears. I've never read anything that has moved me as much as this did—especially on Mibba. Your writing is beyond incredible. Not just this story but all of them. I feel like I should top this off with a "great job!" or "keep up the good work!" but that wouldn't do this or any of your other stories justice.
