To R. Valaina,I feel so honoured to see my name appear on your final round of thank you's in your Epilogue. Your chapters did not suck. Look at all the wonderful reviews you've received (and not just from me lol): clearly you did something right lol. To me, I think you've created a story that everyone can relate and respond to in one way or another. And I am also honoured to hear my comments meant so much to you.

I remember saying once you should write an ending that fits the story. In my opinion, I think you've done that beautifully. You won't get any hatemail from this reader either. I hope you will produce more stories in the near future, I will gladly read those as well!

thank you for offering to read my story. As of this moment, the story's been put on a bit of a hold...partially due to school and partially due to a bit of writer's block...and partially due to the fact I'm trying to finish up a fanfic I started awhile back as well. But I will definetly let you know when I start putting up my story!

Thank you once again,rebmetpes_86

hi, i've read your story & i have to say i absolutely love it. it's not another typical love story. it's something very different & amazing. i hate sad endings but somehow this ending seems right for this story. Well done!

I loved it, it was sad yet sweet. I like this ending, it's different. everyone else's would have that hapy ending. Most people don't get that happy ending, but they move on trying to find another happy ending.

NO! :sob: It's OVER! :sob:

Ah well, it's your story...the ending was very well written (although I would have very much preferred a happy ending), very well described. A perfect 10.

Great story

NO! It CAN'T end like that! HAPPY ENDING OR A SEQUEL! PLEASE!

hey,i love this story but i don't understand why it has to end here.i would really like to see an happy end but i think you're really set in your decision.i would really like an

Ah. This was wonderful

well, the ending was...the fact that it wasn't happy just made it special...

a few tips for later stories:

watch your grammar. I know mine isn't the best either, but your grammar is slightly off and it just sounds when you read a lot of the sentences.

character development. You didn't truly develop the characters. I never got the feeling that Aiden was content or that he was miserable. It just seemed clear cut and emotionless for a point of view.

The plot line was EXCELLENT. It was relatively original, although there was the maid cliche. My favorite character was easily Elimo. He was the only one you really nailed as a person.

] good job.

"help me.I loved"

That bit was in the italic letter. There is a space missing between the dot and the I. Thought you might like to know.

Hm, since I last talked to you I have been accepted into the university of my choice for psychology. I'm so psyched about it. I also got a laptop today to help me out with that. It's great.

I couldn't answer straight away because I was at the coast in Australia going to a summer concert. It was the best.

Anyways, great chapter. I almost cried for Aidan.

I think this was the best story i have ever read! im actually crying, which is something i never do, i think the last tiem i cried was close to four years ago. this story was so jamned pack full of emotion and is so differnt to all the stories i have ever read on fiction press. this is a story that should be published and read by all, ive sat her for hours read it and now that its over..well its sad. As much as i would love a happy ending this seems so fitting, it just seems to suit the story so well. I dotn ussually got for angsty stories but wow this is better then a lot of published novel ive read. I cant exclaim how good this story is or what a brilliant writer you are, even with the spelling mistakes this was a masterpiece. I really hope to read more from you!

oh, shit. he can't leave now! NO!

don't have that much time but i decided that it would be mean to not give a review for such a great story..this is very well written, though there are some spelling and grammar errors..not that distracting though..a good original plot that's well brought out..great characterization that you've built up..but for this chapter..it was sad..i feel bad for aidan..the guilt and regret..him having a 'duty' that he has to fulfill..most of all nikolai dying.. he really can't do anything about it..ya know what they say..c'est la vie

;)allie

Ohh my God that is so sad! How could Aidan leave just like that? I can't wait til the next chapter.

ahh shit, boys don't cry by plumb. (download it! you have to... or i'll damn well send it to you!)

hah, i had so many typos in that review... but who gives a fuck? i know, i know, i swear too much ;o)

kost die schrijft; ik zal wachten bijhouden..

i don't know if that's right...? hah, i speak french better than that. once again, byee!

~bubbl3gum

hey rivka;;

wow, it's been a long time hasn't it. it's me bubbl3gum... i changed my name a while back. thanks for the birthday wishes :)

the chapter. wow. i'm sad this story has ended... or is going to end. it's been a long journey might i add. i've seen aiden fucked up, get even worse, dig himself back out of the hole and then fuck himself again. but you're right, everyone in this damn world is like that - even me. i've just ruined things for myself so many times ive lost count. it's sad... and i know i'm doing it all wrong, but i can't help myself. i don't know what i'm doing... proving that i can break? proving that i need to hold someone's hand before i break? i have no clue. hah, probes that we're all human - that we need support, friendship and the love that come along only once.

i would be crying hysterically if i read that letter; i mean, if it were addressed to me. i don't know. i'd be happy for him. aidan's found his outlet, something to stive for... but at the same time i would have lost him; rai's lost him :(

makes me question myself, did he ever belong to her in the starting? i mean, rai knew it would never last... and so did i. i guess most of us hang onto hope, even when there's none. lol, that doesn't even make sense.

this fic is absolutely beautiful. i love you're style of writing... but in this chapter, it became apparent that you wanted to get this over with once and for all. it was rushed at some parts; you could have added more scenes if you had to. you haven't accomplished that full closure yet but i'm sure the epilogue will do that. no, i'm not dissapointed with you... i. i don't know. you've done well and i commend you for that. this fic will always be in my favourites!

ooh yeah, one more thing. i'm happy about the ending. i mean, it's not over yet, but it was bitter sweet. i mean the guy wished that she would get the life she wanted... all those white picket fences and shit. oh God, i would be crying there. he was wishing he happiness... when he had none. aidan knew she was different but he's also scared. moreover, he's not perfect.

maybe he will see her again? i don't know. i'm hoping here...

i could say a million things right now. this is wonderful. keep writing hun! i doubt i'll see you after thing... or at least for a while. i would disappear for a while as well - you know, go back to my life.

on that final note, you should listen to 'boys don't cry' (by plumber). i could relate parts of it to this fic. good work... and i hope to see you soon. i'd hug you for this! byee,
