It's great that Daphne is moving on and has found someone to hold her, Brian needs that too, which PAINS me to say, but he also needs a cuddle.

Enter Teo... wink, wink

Again, I repeat, how have you managed to turn such a sad story into something so freaking beautiful. Justin is dead, but he's not gone, he's there still, looking after Tayor, and she can see him. I hope Brian can feel him too <3
Author's Response:
He does in a way, but the connection is especially for Taylor. Wait until you get to the very last chapter. You'll see why. And thank you for your nice words.

I'm an emotional wreck LOL. But so happy that Jennifer is on their side, trust Melanie and Lindsay to try and fuck that up though. Why can't people be happy for him?:(
Author's Response:
Because they're badly flawed. Selfishness mostly, I think.

How can something so sad, be so beautifully written? I hadn't read this before, and I admit I had tears streaming down my face at just the thought of Justin not surviving the bashing. I was not expecting Daphne to be pregnant with Justin's baby, but what a wonderful twist - and then having Brian want to jump in and adopt the baby... MY HEART!!!
How do you do it? Your writing is BEAUTIFUL.
Author's Response:
Thank you Sally! So kind. This wasn't quite as painful to write as I thought it would be, since I already knew Justin would be hanging around in the wings. I don't know if it's macabre or not, but I have a special place in my heart for death fic. You can pull such an expanse of emotion from them.

To start, I've read this before.
Many times.
And yet...I could not resist this posting.
I can never resist your gift, even when I know I'm going to sob through every chapter, and be unable to produce a review for each one because I am unable to convey the depth of the emotion I feel.
So, here goes...
You, have been my favorite author since I first came to the fandom. I am not a crier by nature, but you seem to be able to pull the tears from me at will, by your sheer mastery of the craft, followed very closely by your elemental understanding of what makes we humans (not to mention these characters ) tick.
Thank you for sharing your gift with me.
Forever Grateful,
Saje

I need a tissue...
That is such a beautiful thing to say, Saje. Thank you so very much. I love deep emotion when I read, a lot of introspetion and self-analysis. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it gets inside the heads so deeply. So I try to write that way. Fail a lot, but I keep digging.
Here... have one of my tissues. I promise it's clean and dry. :)

Just thought I'd share that Justin and Taylor's birthday is the day after mine.

Really? I wanted to set their bds on mine, but I just couldn't get a full term baby there by mid-December. Dang it. You ought to have seen the intricate calendar/timeline I made for this story. It was so convoluted for such a short story. LOL.
