I don't even know what to say. So many emotions. And it all flowed so smoothly. There was a very graceful, natural, and even dreamlike progression to the story and it was wonderful-in every sense of the word. Fantastic writing. The details you gave were perfect, so much so in fact that you didn't need any more. Part of being a good writer is deciding what's important and what is background noise and i'm glad you didn't include the details of River's conviction and the car crash and who she killed and why. It would have muddled the story. The "snippets in time" feel to it made the fic seem like the reader was just getting a mere glimpse into the characters lives and I love it. I know I wouldn't have liked it as much any other way. Marvelous. Good job.
I just can't believe this story didn't get more favorites than it did. :)

...oh my gosh. I just can't even begin to describe the emotions you've put into this - so much hurt, so much love... IT HURTS SO GOOD I SWEAR *breaks down and cries*

I just sat here and cried for ten minutes. Thank you for sharing this.

(I did have to skim over the smutty bits because I'm not quite comfortable with all that, but I loved it all anyway. Your prose is gorgeous and oh... all my feels... *gives you a trophy* I just cannot. I am done with life now. Thank you. So, so much. Thank you.)

This story is just so beautifully and poetically written. I love your similes, metaphors, and your writing style. It makes the story feel so...sweeping, and majestic, riding on a rainbow. I don't know how else to describe it. All I know is that I wish I could spin a tale as wonderfully as you just did.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet, because this fic is so good. It's the kind of good that I can't read it too often or my heart would just explode.

I want to say something incredibly helpful and concise about how amazing this is, but I'm honestly lost. You sweep me up in the magic of it. That's the right word, magic. This fic is magic.

You have a special talent for atmosphere, the whole thing feels like moments out of time, like special little peeks we get into a fairytale world, it's almost voyeuristic. There isn't a huge amount of plot or flow, but there doesn't need to be, it's a sensory overload as it stands.

Thank you so much for writing this.

At first I wasn't sure about this story but this chapter is amazing. I find the dialouge very in character, charming and fun. Also liked the reference with the time.

I need an update! I can't wait to find out what exactly John has planned, or to see how the Ponds are reacting to all of this. Fabulous, as always.
bananannabeth chapter 9 . 11/7/2012
I knew it was coming but I didn't want to believe it. The grief is raw and terrible and the transition from dream to awake is seamless.

The description of fire followed by ice was terrifyingly beautiful.
bananannabeth chapter 7 . 11/7/2012
I said before that one of the other chapters had the perfect amount of description? I lied, because this one does! The tension is palpable and it's all so poetic and romantic and the lust is just... ah, you have incredible talent! The way you're writing their relationship is making me love them as a couple even more than I already do, and the pace of the narrative is spectacular, as well. There's enough action to keep the story moving forward amongst the poetry of your descriptions, and I can't wait to see where you take this plot!

Oh, what has she done to get herself locked away?! John's reaction was very believable, and the description of his dream was breathtaking, too.
bananannabeth chapter 5 . 11/7/2012
Too perfect! All the interactions were spot on and it was just marvellous - and the final line tugged on my heartstrings. Oh. This is all so fabulous, I can't believe I haven't found it sooner!
bananannabeth chapter 4 . 11/7/2012
Amazing! Perfect amount of description, you balance the heavy stuff perfectly with the fluff. The description of his depression really hit home, and the way River came over just to see him at that hour made my heart melt.
bananannabeth chapter 3 . 11/7/2012
The banter is so fantastically in character, and yet it still fits this world, too. I'm loving all the little references and quotes to things in the show, and the chemistry you're writing between the two of them is spectacular.
bananannabeth chapter 2 . 11/7/2012
The description of River as a lion is so fitting, and the way you wrote Amy and Rory.. well, my heart just melted. I sincerely hope they'll be making another appearance!
