So I'm starting year 11 tomorrow and was supposed to get an 'early night'? But I read this instead! There's no way I can express in words how beautiful this story is! I've actually had it saved on my favourites list for ages and today suddenly remembered I have a ficwad account! But this story is so unique, I get bored of all the usual stuff after a while, the intensity and description here is just amazing! It is by far one of the best frerards I have ever read though on some levels, while the passages about Frank and Gee are amazing (particularly the scene under the birch tree and the ending scene for me) I love how you have explored a little about his past through Mikey, Ray as well as his artwork! I like to imagine you really have captured a small piece of Gerard here. I don't usually cry but after reading this piece around 5 times now there hasn't been once where I hadnt ended up in tears! I was really proud of my self this time around as I lasted up into "Well...you're the exception" before blubbering! Like I said there is no way to put the love I feel for this fanfic into words but i hope I have in some way expressed it here! Sorry for the lengthy review and my first day at school will probably be tiring but it was definitely worth it! Thank you again and I will definitely be reading more of your stuff. Keep on writing, you do it so beautifully!!
