This is my first time typing a review, but I just want to say that how you portrayed grief is just.. amazing. It’ll always be there, but if you let it, it will get a little better with time. It’s harsh, but it’s reality, and I love how you made Tadashi accept it as such. A fanfic has never moved me like this before, so thank you for this new insight.

OMG I'm crying SO much! :( this is a really good fanfic though. Many tears, so many tears were shed. Keep up the good work :)

That was awesome! I cried and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for writing this

How would the series go from this?

Nice twist letting Cass in the secret.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Fred starting to doubt his theory! Hilarious!

Man I'm French and I just read your story... I cry because of you... But Love you for this story

I’m crying. I think I cried more reading this story than watching the movie. Good job.

didnt expect that to happen o-o

I know I am stumbling upon this fanfic years later since it's been posted. Buut I had a feeling this is where it was going. Cause I was in the mood for looking for some angsty AUs and stuff. But I like what you have done so far and I shall continue on reading it!

Was expecting this "twist" from the beginning, but I'm more curious to see where you go with it. The writing is good, though - very much draws me in.

Wow, what a story. Spent the afternoon reading it (started last night), and did not stop once I had started. I think I got headaches from it, but still.

So, this is how you think it would've gone had Hiro died instead of Tadashi. Well, it was interesting. Certainly dark in places, like with Tadashi holing himself up in his room. And while I thought the bit with recounting their childhoods was unnecessary, you certainly made it work.

Of course, there were some bits that I didn't like. Like, how you just seemed to skim over plenty of stuff. Like, with the video footage, and discovering that it was Callaghan's daughter who disappeared into that portal. Those were bits I think we should've seen in the moment as opposed to just being described to us. I would've liked to have read what Tadashi would've said about finding out how Callaghan's daughter was the one who disappeared inside that portal.

Also, I see Tadashi has a larger well of anger inside of him than Hiro did. Maybe it's because Callaghan made him break his promise to be a good big brother. Maybe because that's just how much Tadashi truly cared for Hiro. Maybe a lot of things. Still, it certainly contrasts to how Hiro felt angry.

All-in-all, this was a story I couldn't stop reading until getting to the end. And, regardless of how good I found it to be, that means you did what a good writer does. If this story were in book format, I'd say it was a page-turner.

Well, anyway, so long.

Oooh, I can feel the heartbreak coming.

I'm crying. I really expected you to bring Hiro back even at the last chapter. Wasn't sure how you'd do it, but I really thought you would. Even though its sad, this is a good story. Kudos to your writing skills. I think I'll cry some more, but thank you for writing.

This is adorable. I love brotherly, fluff type stories, and this really hit the spot.
Thank you.
