I miss this story! Why hasn't it updated? I hope you are okay. Please don't abandon this! I am offering any help I f you need it, betaing, proof reading etc.

Oh wow, I haven't cried this hard reading a story in a long time. You've captured the raw emotions that dealing with this entails perfectly (from both sides and remained true to their characters). This narrative hits very close to home, probably why I find it so hard to read. I look forward to how you continue of current arc (equal parts dreading the conclusion and needing it for closure).

Dear God please don't abandon this.

Another heartbreakingly wonderful chapter! I don't know where to start. It is sad, but Victor made some tough, yet necessary choices in this installment. He really needed an outlet to free himself and express himself. I can't imagine how hard it is for him to have to go through this disease and still continue to carry a relationship on his own on his back. None of this was ever fair to begin with; Yuuri is starting to understand this, but he is in so much denial and so focused on what he wants that he isn't even thinking of them, he's thinking of himself. I am so happy that Victor finally confronted Yuuri the way that he did. Yuuri truly needed that dose of reality to hit him. I can only hope that Victor's words got through to him this time.

Thank you again for this chapter!

I can't believe that Yuuri ran away from him like that. I can understand that dealing with the after effects of chemo is difficult, but he shouldn't isolate himself the way he did. I am also wondering if he is feeling guilty for make Victor go through with the treatments. As for Victor: I want him to stop caring and have his fits. He really needs to be allowed to explode when necessary. It isn't fair for him to continue holding them up like he has been doing; however, I can understand why he does it since he wants to ensure that the rest of the time they have together is spent with good and loving memories, no bad ones. Again, I was impressed with Yuuri's effort to meet him halfway during this chapter. The song part really touched a chord in me (that nurse is definitely not an impartial or compassionate person and puts the profession to shame). I also was happy about the glass of water (if I'm interpreting that portion correctly). That man still has a long way to go, I just hope he figures it all out very soon.

Another great chapter! I can't wait to read the second half!

Whenever you incorporate music into this story it’s always so fitting and perfect. The writing in this chapter was also especially vivid, almost too vivid xD Do you have an idea as to how many chapters are left for this story?

You can really feel the emotions building in this chapter. I like how you alternate between each perspective. It gives your readers a good glimpse into the thought processes on both sides of this illness. Both Victor and Yuuri are still trying to make the other happy; bless them for that! It feel as though they are still fighting, even with the bad news, they keep pushing forward and refuse to allow this illness to stand between them. Such love is truly beautiful, even in the midst of hearts breaking.

I also would like to know what Yuuri's mother had said to him. Her wisdom and viewpoint is invaluable, especially to him at this point. But I am glad that he is going to take the intiative and give back to Victor as much as he possibly can.

Thank you for another beautiful chapter.

Every time I get a chapter update notification for this story I get so nervous and emotional! Another great chapter for a beautifully written story, nice job.

It pains me so much; I feel that every time Victor and Yuuri take one step forward, they end up taking multiple steps backward. I'm both surprised and impressed that Yuuri was able to voice his concerns so soon. I can see the issues on both sides. You have the one person who wants to be close, yet doesn't want to deal with the pain of loss and left with only memories. On the other hand, you have the other individual who doesn't want to think about the future, but only wants to create the memories so as to not be forgotten. They are communicating better, that I am happy about, but it feels as though they are in the same book but different pages. I can't decide if Yuuri's request is selfish or admirable; I understand why he made it, I just wish he discussed it more with Victor. Although, I can understand why Victor took his request into consideration.

Another wonderful chapter. Thank you again!

I was avoiding reading this chapter because I was scared of what could have developed since the last update. I'm happy that I did read this chapter. It was so emotionally heavy. It put so much more into actions and descriptions than it could have done with dialogue. Your readers truly are suffering along with Victor and Yuuri. My heart continues to break; I want to do something to help them as well, but I feel just as helpless and powerless as they feel. Nothing at all can prepare anyone for a diagnosis and a prognosis as what has been presented to my favorite couple. Even Yakov made me want to cry.

I am curious to see where my ice skaters continue on from here. Thank you for this.

You threw in the story’s title and I almost lost it oh my gosh! Your writing amazes me, great chapter.

This story is heartbreaking and bittersweet and sometimes I have to ask myself if I want to keep ready but I can’t stop. After reading up until the most recent update I looked at your other stories and realized that I have read most of them and I am a huge fan of your work. You are incredibly talented.

You, you, you...you...YOU! First watching Walking Dead and then read this, merry Christmas to me, ugh! I'm just going to stay in bed forever.

The start to this chapter prepared me for what I was going to witness at the latter half of this update. I am saddened and at a loss for words. And in the midst of it all, Victor is still thinking about Yuuri's feelings, their relationship and the literal time that they have left together. It truly breaks my heart. I think I'm going to start crying with each update you post from here on out.

Once again, thank you for a wonderfully heartbreaking chapter...

You can feel the anxiety and the tension building in this chapter. Those test results left me quite restless myself. I can understand how the system works, but it is torturous to force someone to sit around and wait to find out whether or not their life is over. My heart breaks for Victor and for Yuuri. Those two have suffered so much in one year alone. I can only wonder how much longer and farther can they endure...

Another great, emotional update!
