This was so enjoyable. The drama and adventure of the plane crash and the medical recovery kept me on my seat. I'd love to see Mark in another story (I guess I have to look at your page) learning the ropes from Roy and Johnny. You certainly remembered all the details and pulled it all together, and i especially love the Lakota prayer at the end. Thanks for sharing!

:D

What an amazing story! You are a gifted writer! I am glad that a lot of the story was the aftermath, as that is often missing in stories (and always missing on the tv shows.). Thanks for sharing!

Excellent story! Full of action, suspense, angst, and lovely tender moments. Loved it!

I've read this before just as good this time as the first.

You say Alison survived the initial crash but made no note of when she actually passed? I went the entire story wondering what had happened to her and to Megan’s baby. The latter was answered in the last chapter and Alison’s passing later on was obvious but never is her name mentioned again after she is found barely alive in the cockpit

Wow, great story! It's almost like a book! Took me like three days to finish it. Keep up the good work!

nice job

Wow, what a powerful story...I was awake until 4 in the morning reading it. Thanks so much for sharing your work!

Ugggg why would you do that? Can't they catch a break? seriously! Plus I know he doesn't want to get caught by authorities, but doctors would never go through his things (at least I hope), so he wouldn't have to worry about being found out. I just can't see him doing this.

I swear, I felt as if I needed an IV for dehydration from all the crying! Even with that, I have no reservations in naming this the best E! fanfiction I've ever read. One of the best stories from ALL the shows I read on-line, in fact! I had to leave mid-story in order to pick up a few things and even found myself telling the cab driver about this story! He was going to look it up after work! LOL Thanks for such a wonderful read.

Yours Truly,

What a good story and a great ending. Thank you!

Great ending!

Thank you for this wonderful story. I liked the portrayal of John and Roy after they started to heal, how they needed time to individually come to terms with what they'd been through. Throughout the story, you kept things realistic with the shift mates taking time to search for their friends but not being able to blow off every shift to do so. Your OC's were well done, it must have been hard to stay realistic and lose some of them because they were your creations and you wrote them in such a way that your readers got to know them. That's not easy so kudos there. I liked the uplifting ending very much, with the baby and the Desoto's upcoming third and Mark's new job. The ending was perfect, with a touch of sadness in the character's finding closure in a memorial to the passengers they couldn't save. Johnny striking out with the stewardess was perfect and so in character. Thanks again, I haven't had much time to read but when I do, your stories are always a treat.

awesome story emom!
wilL you do a future story on mark and the others 5 yrs later in a future srtory on how everyone is doing since the plane crash.
