So Long - Comments

I started reading this years ago and watched it develop for quite some time. I stopped reading due to personal stuff a while ago. But now I've come back and read the story through again. I'm sat crying, this story is so beautiful, and so perfect. It's my favourite fanfiction. It really is. There an no words to describe how I feel for it, this story really has a special place in my heart. You're such a beautiful, talented writer. No fanfiction has ever had this kind of hold on me before. I love it.

can I marry it?

it is awesome

Words cannot describe how amazing this fanfiction has been.
It is beautiful and meaningful.
I spent nights reading this, I couldn't get enough.
I cried at some points, and my life changed when I read this because at some parts, like when Gerard was getting over his past, I decided to do that too.
Thank you so much.
I am eternally grateful.

This is honestly, my all time favorite Fan-Fiction. I cannot describe all the emotions coursing through me while reading this story. Now I'm kinda of disappointed because no other Fan-Fic will ever be able to compare! It was perfect from beginning to end, it was never boring, I was constantly locked in and could not stop reading for the life of me!

God, I'm so glad you uploaded this, you made my life. Brb. Gonna go cry.

Love you.

*sighs dreamily*

The ending, was absolutely perfect. Thank you for writing this. I know alot of people have related to these characters, myself being one of them. I was in an abusive relationship once, for seven years, and my coping mechanism was writing. I wrote myself as the Frank character, and wrote of the perfect Gerard, the knight in shining armor to come and rescue Frank and it was so wonderful. That's why I began writing, to help cope, and though that relationship ended years ago (the best thing that ever happened to me), I still come back to fanfiction, just to escape from the real world every now and again. I write, I pour my heart and soul out for the world to read, and on rare occasion, I find fantastic diamonds like this story, and become so entralled and captivated in every word, every trial and tribulation that the characters face, and when this happens, I am so grateful to be a part of this website and so thankful for devoting my time to read something that you so obviously poured YOUR heart and soul into. Despite your own life, school and personal things, thank you, for taking the time out of YOUR busy life to write for us. This has been an absolute delight, from start to finish. Chapter 37 had me in tears, it was just so powerful. I love that in the beginning, Frank was brave enough to take a chance on Gerard, and that in chapter 30, Gerard was able to see why Frank was so guarded because he had been through so much as well. I love how it took forever for them to get together, until they were both okay, it seems more real that way. It was just an absolutely gorgeous story from start to finish, and I'm so grateful that I found this, because it is instantly one of my absolute favorite Frank and Gerard stories ever written. I love your writing, I loved this story, and I can't wait to read the rest of your stories. Thank you, again, so much. <3

First off, I've been reading this entire story all day. I am nearly finished, trying to convey just how much I've loved and hung on to every single word... I was waiting til the end, the epilogue, to comment all in one...

However. Can I just say, while reading the chapter when Frank gives Gerard the key, I'm listening to "Under Pressure", the perfect Bert/Gerard version, and the "Why can't we give love, give love, give love that one more chance...?" part came on TO PERFECTLY ALIGN WITH THE WORDS IN YOUR STORY. It's like Gerard knew to sing those words then, you know? Sorry. Let me wipe away the few stray happy tears this chapter has caused me so I can finish reading... then properly leave you a huge comment on how much I absolutely loved this story... <3

I can honestly say that this story was by far the most fucking insanely amazing story I've ever read, and holy shit I've read a lot!
god, you are just amazing. Beyond incredibly amazing writer!!! I loved your work so fucking much. I just wow

This was fucking amazing! You are such a great author. Holy shit, no words can describe how amazing this story is. Gurl, keep up the awesome work and maybe one day publish some actual books. Cause i swear i would pay top dollar just to read another one of your stories.

Xoxo Luna

i wanna cry because when i'm done with this story, i won't have any other story of yours to read because i read them all already sobs. okkkkkkkkkkkk now trying to find the chapter i'm at >.>

fuck fukc fickfickfijck holly hi omfg idk about you but i missed you and this story and i'm back to finish reading it (kind of want to cry thinking about the fact that you're actually done ;-;) i really can't wait to get onto reading actually, so i'll leave it at that, but, i don't remember what chapter i'm at (this is sad i knowwww)

i've been busy with exams btw but hEY it paid off because i graduated wooop.
BUT NOW IM BACK AND I WILL TRY TO COMMENT FOR EVERY CHAPTER I'VE GOT LEFT TO READ :D
still love you very fucking muuuccchh <3

Woah, i spent everyday reading this story instead of going outside! This is very well written! Congratulations!

OMG... I can't believe this is actually over and done with.. I kind of feel like crying a Little... this is one of my favourites and it's simply done.. argh.. I know I know, it wouldn't do any good to continue it.. but I still kind of want it too.. but that's just me beeing selfish and wanting more and all that.. What can I say? the story is so easy to love. you fall in and think you'll never have to resurface Again.. and then bam! done and over..I hate that part of loving different stories.. reality of an ending sucks xD

Other than that, I like that you did a full on developement of Frank's character. It gives a great "after the stories done" Picture in my head, if that makes any sense to anyone but me. OH and damn he's dad is stubborn as hell.. But at least there's dear mommy Linda in his life now. Oh, and the key thing is so cute! loved that! hmm... wondering about something I have now forgotten.. brilliant Ann great memory... right there.. urgh.. oh well, probably not important.. I think..

congrats on meeting nicho or somthing? sorry don't know the person/band, so I'm having a hard time remembering it.. oh and sucks about the Gerard thing, but I'm sure you'll meet him someday, saomhow... was there anything else.. oh yeah, haven't read the blog entry yet, but I will in a Little while.. and don't think you'll be getting rid of me antime soon.. I'll probably be commenting on some future story of yours or something. Afterall, I love the way you write and capture your audience.. truly awesome dude, seriously! :D

I seriousle can't believe this is over.. and I missed it happening at the time.. oh well, at least it was for stuff worth doing and stuff.. hmm... I think that was about it, sorry if there's spelling and grammar mistakes in this. But can't be bothered to correct it and stuff.. so I hope it's readable..

ONE last thing though....

THANK SO EVER VERY MUCH FOR WRITING AND PUBLISHING THIS STORY! YOU ROCK! :D

congratulations on finishing. I connected with the characters really well and you have such amazing writing skills! Well done, Holly! Can't wait until your next fic xo

you know, i read the last chapter a few hours after you posted it, i just didn't know what to write here c:
so, it's over. congratulations for making up such a wonderful story, i''m not usually someone who reads stuff that's not finished, but yours was absolutely worth it (i started reading in november last year, more or less), i don't remember feeling as identificated with the characters as i did here with most stories, and when it was ending, it was the same than with the end of The Dove Keeper or The Rainbow, bittersweet as fuck, beyond whatever happens, i will never read about them ever again, will not know a thing, and you made people feel that, feel the reality side of a fantastic world and embrace it, and you should be proud of it. so yeah, you probably could've made it longer by adding more details on blake or in frank's dad, but so what? you know there's a moment you've got to let it go, make the story follow its path and hope for the best, you can't keep writing forever. and now i'm here, feeling numb after finishing your story, that made me check mibba almost daily and made me wonder and kept thinking and stuff, i just want to thank you, for putting your soul and working so hard on this.

I think you already know what this story made me feel, and how I reacted at every chapter. I'm going to start reading it again, because it's surreal how much I liked it. Your vision of every character and the way you started and finished every chapter, the whole point of it all, the way you wrote every feeling and every situation that happened; it made me feel like I was there, crying with Gerard by my side beaten up on the street and puching Frank's face while he fought Gerard for doing the thing that HE wanted him to do and then hugging both of them when they finally got together.
This story teached me so much, and I am sure I'll remember it forever.
I can't wait for your next works!
Please, PLEASE. Keep writing. xo

I can't get over how amazing this story is. I cried so much it's unreal. Thank you for writing this. <33 I will definitely check out any and everything else you write.

Kinda sad that your fic ended but it was brilliant! I really loved it, everything about it. Thank you so much for sharing with us this amazing work and I'm looking forward to reading more of your stuff! xo

oh, ok, it's over... that's kinda hard to believe, i spent so many time reading and rereading each chapter (which i'm sure i'll keep doing, like, forever) and waiting for the next one, it's basically part of my life now, and then... yeah. but it was great, i loved this fic, and i can't wait for your next one! thank you! =)
