Aww, good chapter :. And no I'm not just getting around to reading this now, but rather it's taken me a month to actually remeber to review it... sorry :S

Right... Why are we worried about Cait being the death of Brandon when really you should be worried about the effect some of your characters are having on me... You're going to have to start giving me warning when you post chapters like this, 'cause between this, The Unforgetable Fire, and Say Goobye, you and your characters just might be the death of ME!! Then you'd feel bad... As for the characters being fictional, well it's too late and I don't give a rats ass. I just might have to team up with Devan so that we can each get what we want :D.

As for typos, I think it was just the bit where they were going to eat her instead of eat here. Oh, and you forgot the translation of A chara. Other then that it was all good, and I'm going to need warning in the future because I'm finding out really quickly that certain places (like the train station, my dorm room and the at table with my younger brother and Dad) are really not good places to read these chapters... So far I've managed to keep it in though, but I'm not sure how healthy that is exactly...

To be quite honest, little bit of a let down from the last chapter, but then again it'll take a lot to beat that one. Still pretty good overall though :)

OMG Absolutly loved it! Just a couple of mistakes that I noticed though... Micheal slipped out his pocket watch_to... (space b/w watch and to), IF they pull this off, Murphy will be left with... (you wrote in), a voice Micheal (?) before he could mention it.. (I think you missed something in there), " Cathleen, we should_leave. Now" (space again). That's all I noticed anyways. Off to read the next chapter now. I almost don't want to leave the past and go back to the present now... LOL

This story is fantastic! Though now I'm a bit scared of visiting Northern Ireland if I ever go there (I'm a Catholic). I looked at your profile and I guess I should be insulted by the RANDOM!! American things, but hey, the truth hurts (though I am NOT in the 93 & 92%, I just watch them and laugh). If you don't mind, where did you get all this info about the Irish? And for that matter, their language? Because I want to write the story of my great-great grandma, who came from Ireland, almost died on her trip to America, cooked for a U.S president before he became that, moved to Iowa, married, and raised her children when her husband went back to Ireland without her. Sorry if I weirded you out with this, but i really want to know!

i absolutely love this story. it is exquisitely written and isn't one dimensional. i look forward to reading more about cathleen and cait

=]
bloody, buggering, snake-eyed toad of a bastard. i like it.
this made my day.

Good health! ^^ Glad that you and your dad have made up.

I finally found the time to read this and it's very exciting to check out the new chapter and start thinking in an Irish accent again. ^^ And oh so wonderfully *long*... ^-^

Maire made me annoyed with the lack of detailing, but I like her. She reminds me of my great aunt, which is ironic because my great aunt is- and here's the irony- English. And is she seriously over a hundred years old? That's incredible. The bet was very nice. :D

And oh my gosh, that first scene made my heart melt. Brendan and Colleen are just too cute.

I saw a couple typos, one that will amuse me endlessly:

"This was a woman who had smuggled funs for the IRA"
XD That was a hilarious typo. "So what's your poison? Board games? Yo-yo? Uno?"

"She doesn’t consider him her father in hear heart, and nor do I."
I think "her" has a secret desire to be "heart." :)

Well now I really want to read Mick and Annie's story, and I think I'm going to once I send off this review.

Yay, Caitlin told Brendan she loves him! ^.^ I have no doubt that Brendan would kill Caitlin's ex. Can't say he wouldn't deserve it...

^^ Very sweet chapter overall.

Chat later.

*cheers, and the pronounciation could also be slawn-cheh. The first pronounciation would be more common the further north you wen in Ireland, and the secound would be more common the further south you went.

Again, another exelent chapter. I wouldn't worry to much about the lenght though; I've got to have something to do when I'm bored out of my mind at university. Seriously though, very well done, absolutly loved it. My roommate can confirm that I had a big sappy smile on while I was reading this. As for Slaìnte, it means "cheeres", and is pronounced slan-cheh. Keep the good stuff coming Murphy :)

You gotta love a story that makes you jealous of the girl. beautiful =)

Wow, great chapter, absolutly loved it. The only thing I really found out of place was that Jamie seems to have a understanding and possibly maturity level of someone slightly older. Just my thoughts. Other than that the chapter was solid, and I loved it. Really keeps you on the edge of your seat, bed, wherever you happen to be. Keep the good stuff comming.

Baby Guinness... all that food... and especially BACON. Bacon's awesome, especially with syrup. ^^

You got me thinking in an Irish accent again.

Oy... some guys are idiots like those stupid Americans *temporarily disregards the fact that she's a "stupid American"*. You know what I mean. But GO BRENDAN! That was awesome.

So I was looking up what happened in the 20's and stumbled across Wikipedia (naturally). Then I see mention of an Irish Revolution... then there's all that stuff you told us! It was very much a "whoa" moment. ^^

Moving on... that scene with Jamie and Colleen just made my heart melt! They're so CUTE. And Jamie's really sensitive and caring... what an unusual child... :) But then again, there are some kids like that.
Can I hug them? ^^

A couple things. One is a typo.
“No, we’re unable. I’m bound here — my daughter lived her in her youth, and I didn’t visit as often as I should have...” I believe the first "her" is missing an e. :)

Secondly, Brendan telling Cait he loves her. I can't say my heart didn't explode with happiness there (it so did), but it didn't sound natural because he was way too calm about it. It's a very big thing to say, so he had to be nervous, unless it
"just slipped out," for lack of a better phrase. But it doesn't sound like that in context, so I'm inclined to think the Confession (which shall henceforth be capitalized ^^) was on his own volition.

Michael O'Donohue is sweet, but I feel so sorry for him and Cathleen! :( Seperated like that... hopefully they'll be able to be together again.

I was wondering what Brendan was doing leaving Cait by herself after he bloody saved her life. I was thinking at the screen, "No! What are you doing! STAY WITH HER!" (Everyone else is asleep, hence thinking instead of vocalizing my frustration) So Michael O was pretty much my hero there. "That was a hint." XD

So yeah... that was sweet in almost every sense of the word (I can't very well *eat* the chapter...)

Chat later. ^^ -Qzie
Puppy smile! *Do you see it?*

I'm supposed to be doing a reading assignment, but this is way more interesting. ^.^ Yay, Baby Guinness (coffee liqueur and Irish cream :D I googled it). Thanks very much. ^^
Again, you've got me thinking in an Irish accent and there's no doubt that if I start talking, it will be in an Irish accent. :P
Agh, Caitlin and Brendan got together! ^.^ Joys. They're so sweet together. Colleen's gonna be so happy. And older Colleen is fascinating! Can't wait to hear what Brendan's grandmother has to say. ^^
Once again, you astound me with how you know all these obscure things. RTE, "Hold your whist"... I tip my hat to you.
ARGH. I started talking and, indeed, out came an accent! Darn you and your addicting stories... ^^ Chat later. -Qzie

this is so good! it made me amazingly happy, thank you so much!
