WOW... What can I say? This has been an emotion rollercoaster...

I'm confused :c

This was truly a wild ride, admitely some parts made me cringe and hold the story for a few minutes before continueing
But it was truly worth it
It may not have a happy end since the beginning started with the cruel funeral afterall but it was one of the most interesting plot
I really loved all the dark and psychological elements
And still a part of me wished for the possible happy end for tweek and christophe and believe me I have never shipped those two so hard like now
Their friendship was also of one kind

Oooo, that little Kyman part made me soo happy!

Logging into this thing for the first time since like...'Nam. Just for this and only this.

I finished it. Started it over from the beginning just like I said I would. Read it all in one sitting excepting a quick nap at 07:00 after I'd been reading all through the night. I told you I would, late as I always am.

You know the story has you when you can just feel the maelstrom brewing up inside before anything has truly happened. Sensing the fate of the characters you have invested that piece of your soul in.

I started getting choked up chapters ago, degenerating into steady tears over the last few. I really didn't think I had that much left in me. And now I can't stop. Probably didn't help that I had JEW playing on repeat for much of this.

I really can't dig in too much without getting highly out of line for a fiction review in a very public place, but I will leave with this.

The darkness present in every one of us, especially those who have always lurked on the fringes of normalcy, was blown wide here. Exposed in near-terrifying clarity. Nobody who hasn't lived it will get it. But those blessedly ignorant ones have the chance to avoid a similar fate if only they take heed. And maybe, just maybe, this whirlwind, screaming descent into what some live with every day, will shine as a spotlight into the hidden lives of those reeling in the grip of "different." Of "crazy." Of tragic and overwhelming circumstance.

While the ending left me with the bitter taste of bile in my mouth, eyes streaming, memories clawing, it was a brutal reminder. A slap in the face. What could have been. What could still be if I ever forget. I needed it.

Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

A decade, my dear. Very nearly. Over 9 years now and I still love you endlessly.

man i love this story so much omg

I loved your story, but i was really mad that tweek ended up with craig in death. craig was a monster, and even in death he dosent deserve tweek,maybe tweek deservs craig but craig dosent deserve him. thats why i was disgusted when they ended up togeter. I hope tweek can forgive craig so he can get out of pergetory, but i hope he tells hime he can never love him the same way again because even in death he wont be able to change because people dont change, and he could never love him like chris loved him. chris at least deserves that much, my heat achs at thought that tweek and chris will never see eachother again when they truely were soulmates and they are the ones that deserve happiness not that fucking obsessed bastard craig.

As someone who has stuck with Expo '86 for many, many years, looking forward to each heartbreaking update, every chapter striking my heart, I've been waiting for this end for several months now, waiting for the final chapters you promised to deliver soon enough.

In retrospect, having read it all from the start multiple times over the years, no other South Park fic, or indeed any other fic I have laid my eyes upon, the ending is no unpleasant surprise. No story that begins at the end with a funeral is going to be finalized with joy, and I gave up hoping for that long ago, when I came to appreciate that sometimes, there is no real happy ending. Some stories are tragedies, and those beautiful tragedies are more than enough without everything being fixed in the end. Still, it takes skill to bring a tragical story to a satisfying close, even with the sprinkles of happiness, drama, and character development that brings one truly into the heads and hearts of the characters. You've brought a conclusion that feels complete, with their deaths beautifully written, with Curson and the death he brought as bookends.

Over the years, I came to love Expo -86 faithfully, recommending it to friends, reading it all over with some years of interval, always returning with the same kind of love as when I see an old friend again - things have changed, new things have happened, but the conenction is still there, and with some time to reminisce and remember what was already revealed, catching up is as easy as it has ever been. Knowing that Expo '86 has reached its conclusion is going to be a bit tough to swallow, knowing that the story is ended, but I will always return to it with the knowledge that it has meant a lot to me, has shaped me as a writer, has inspired me to consider my own characters, my own plots, my own emotions and actions. There is much to be said for the effect this story has had on me, and it churns my stomach to know that nothing new will come of it, but at the same time I know it is much like parting with such an old friend.

The deaths of the three major characters have been handled incredibly well, down to the details of Craig's sociopathic behaviour prior to and following Tweek's death, and I find that Curson living on to remind us of his existence, his manipulation, and the fact that Curson may indeed exist in us all is a very nice touch at the end. When I first read Expo '86 many, many years ago, I was sceptical to him as a character, sceptical to what he would do to the narrative, but I came to appreciate him too; not only as a part-time narrator and character, but also as a plot device, as an underlying driver, as a necessary part of the story that was being told. Curson's hand in all of their fates was a unique part that made the story into a tragedy, and it completed the story in a way I doubt could have been achieved otherwise, theatrical Bat King and mind sanctums and all.

In short, while I'll dearly miss the constant of aching for a new chapter of Expo '86, the only thing I can really do is thank you for sharing the story with us all. I look forward to following you in later stories, and I hope to perhaps see you create a world of your own at some point - I know I would pay to read it, with this story as all the evidence I need that you're absolutely capable of fleshing out beauty from unpolished marble.

Thank you for Expo '86, thank you for the pain, thank you for the happiness, and thank you for the turbulent friendship. I couldn't ask for more in a fanfic, and I don't know if any other fic can compare ever again. Good luck onwards!

Welp, that answers my questions about Curson!

How funny that even in death Tweek and Craig still need to resolve their problems. I'm a tad bit sad that Christopher wasn't able to see Tweek when he passed. Did he and Tweek saw eachother already? Was Christopher able to find peace and move on?

I really found this story amazing and I am grateful to you that you've come back to finish it. I give you a lot of props for that! The ending really has me thinking and it will probably stick with me for a while. I am just wondering how everything is going along back on earth as well.

Will Tweek's mother ever be happy again?
How are the Tuckers (Nommel) doing?
Where is Christopher in the afterlife?

It had a pleasant time reading this story. I hope you still continue to write more multiple chapters of tragedy and angst like this. And perhaps another story that will stay with me like this will. :)

I knew what was going to happen, but even when I saw it coming I still blown away.

Tweek just made himself whole and then BAM.

And oh Christopher. I think that's what hit the home run. After he had spilled his gut to Tweek saying why he stuck around him till the end, it's just heart breaking to read him break down like that and take his own life.

I have a question though, was Curson manipulating Craig to do this or was he not? I'm not sure if he was just sighing in defeat at the end or if maybe his plan had work out? Either way, I still ship Curson and Tweek. Dear god, I'm making a lot of unordinary ship with Tweek.

Alright, jumping to the next chapter!

Holy Shit it's finally finished! I'm kind of sad though. I won't be able to look forward to my favorite fic anymore. Oh Well, it was amazing while it lasted.

I almost cried at the end.
P.S. Great job on this story.

That last sentence just really told me what I knew all along. Jesus christ!

The thing is, I'm not surprise of Craig's action by this point. I really thought Craig might have tried to rape Tweek! Then he turned around and started to be a douchebag again and said the two words that really hurt Tweek: "fuck you."

Christopher is right, he did this to himself, and he is a selfish manipulative jerk. He nearly killed Red so that Tweek wouldn't find out. Quite proud the ass whooping Christopher delivered to Craig there. Nice work! ;)

He, of course, wasn't doing it for Tweek, he was doing it for himself so nothing can rift the relationship he and Tweek had. Though I wonder, even if this whole pregnancy wouldn't have happened, something else probably would have rock the boat.

As always, look forward for the next, and LAST, chapter.

Take care

AHAHAHAHHA ye S every time i hear that song i think of curson yesssss

YES TWYSTOPHE AGAIN
Wow you always make Craig such an asshole XD
Good god and their only 12...
