It took me a while at first, but then I got the gist of the pov switch between every flashback, and it is a very clever way of writing it.
What I also love, though I don't think it's intended, is that a lot of your work can be used as different parts of this one big universe you've created. It's probably not supposed to be that way, but that's how I see it. This one doesn't fit in with that so much, but a lot of your others do.
This was amazing though. In your other stories I've been too captivated by excitement and shock of what might happen next to get emotional, but in this one I seriously teared up at the end.

I was worried that the whole POV thing would kinda kill this, so it's a real relief to hear that you think it was a clever way of doing it.
Your 'universe' theory is really quite interesting for me to hear/read. I've never really thought of it like that before, but now that you mention it I can deffinitely see what you mean with some of my stories. Thanks for sharing that idea; it's really quite a cool way of looking at things.
Thank you very much; I'm really pleased that you think this story went alright! Sorry that it made you tear up, though.
Thank you soooo much for taking the time to review! :)
