This hurt me. A lot. I had seen the description and always hesitated to read this one-shot because I could tell that I would cry. And cry I did. I can't imagine how much Jack has suffered. I tear up just thinking about it. Beautiful and tragic. Well done.

Lots of people commenting they can't find the link, did some hunting and found it on Archive of our Own: . ?thread5821525#cmt5821525
It's really sweet.

I would really like to read the sequel but the links not working and I can't find it. Good job ripping my heart to shreds by the way.

I don't know if you've been informed, but the link doesn't work. It just reloads the page. You need to put the actual link, like all the letters and numbers, down. Cause then none of the ones you have in your profile will work otherwise.

I love this story! I tired to access the link to the sequel of this story in your profile, but it didn't work? Do you think you could send it to me, I'd really like to read it! :)

Interesting spin on the 'what if'. Hated what happened, but you did it so well.

Tried the link to Sit but it only lead to your userpage.

Why doesn't this has more reviews?

This is a great, beautiful but haunting story, thanks so much for sharing; I really enjoyed it though it left me a little sad at the end ;((

So the guardians are actually dead which is why our world is like this

I loved reading this, as it was pretty much just the exact flavor of angst that I love most. So thank you for the story, and thank you for the link to the sequel (which was another one of my favorite flavors - tired and bittersweet).

Its odd and I know I don't like stories like this with almost neutral endings that could be both happy or tragic but I did liked it. It was well written and the way you portrayed Jack was interesting. And it didn't seem to move at a fast pace that stories this short and done in this manner usual do even though it was meant to movie fast.

Amazing work. While I am a sucker for happy endings, I do find that I enjoy tragedy and bittersweet endings also.
This AU is so interesting, and I really had a great time reading your story.
You've done a wonderful job. I hope you're happy with it.

poor jack your making me cry. is the sequel still up because I cant find it and the link wont work?

Great story! It broke my heart but it was worth it XD
Is the sequel still up? because i looked everywhere and i can't find it :P

Brilliant. Just amazing.
