Oh my gosh I want to cry this is so good!

Well fuck that made me cry. Worth it though. But now I reaaaally want a sequel on erik's thoughts on the rescue after this. .. Because your writing is a gift. So if you should have a lot of free time and nothing to do one day...pretty please? :D

Wow. This is very deep, and thought provoking. Thank you very much for writing this. It has made my day that much more enjoyable.

NOOOOOOO nonononono noo noooo! How dare you? *sobs* Oh, man. This... this. It's so well-written. Especially after reading a not-quite-well-written story, I recognised that THIS was going to be good. You know, usually I don't read angst. I love angst if it has a happy ending, but reading angst just for angst... :'( So it is likely the first angst story I've read and I just can't decide whether to be happy that I found it or to... I don't know. This is so full of emotion, so brilliant. Ohhh. I love that this matches the film pretty well and the ending... THE ENDING. He thought Charles was dead. No, why am I torturing myself. Why are YOU torturing yourself? Yet it is such an amazing one-shot, it's so intelligent. It has a soul, no doubt. I could sense the difference in the writing style immediately, it is simply clear that you have a gift. The idea was amazing in general. What should I say, I loved it. But maybe the fact that I know that the there is a better ending to it in the movie makes me feel better... Do you know, I was so preoccupied with Charles's unexpected (for me) depression in the movie that I hardly thought how hard it must have been for Erik, being locked in a prison for 10 years! He had a right to get depressed. (Cause I still don't fully get why did Charles got so depressed..). Thank you for writing and sharing, it was brilliant, though SAD. ;)

Awesome.

Wow. I don't even have the words for how much I loved this story. This is one of the best takes on the time between 1st Class and DoFP that I've ever read. I love the interaction between Erik and Charles; mental communication can be a hard thing to show in fics, but you do it so well, through how much of his thoughts Charles can share with Erik or withhold. Erik's reasonable assumption that Charles has died is very well-done; in a sense, part of him did die when he gave up his powers. Really wonderful work.

Charles... Charles! Did you forget about Erik? ;_; He believes that you're dead... At least contact him or something ;_;

Such a well-written piece! I think you deserve more reviews for this. Good job! :D

Gorgeous story. Also, gives Erik a really good reason to be furious when he found out that Charles had cut off his own telepathy voluntarily.

...Erik... :'(

Charles your god damn selfish! Your too concerned with your own pain and anger that you forgot that YOU are the only one that could talk to Erik!

YOU were the only one who kept him sane in that lonely cell of his! You didn't care, that thought, the one where you were leaving your Erik alone for good? Never crossed your mind!

Your celebrating, and have a damn old grand time, while your best friend is sobbing, not eating and thinks your dead?

Anyway I loved this! Absolutely wonder piece that I kind hope you would do a second chapter for? This is just SO depressing, I feel so incredibly bad for Erik, and I just want to kick Charles' ass!

Well done with this!

This is so bloody perfect in both pace and emotion damn it I want MORE! :)
Thanks for sharing and please please update soon

Please write more? :D

Awesome! A very nice bridge story that fits neatly into the canon. I loved it. If this is what you can do when out of pratice, it will be interesting to see what you can do after 'your writing muscles' are thoroughly flexed. What I liked most about this was how it fit in so nicely with what the movie showed us. Ten years is a long time for Erik to remain sane in his cell; it makes sense that he got a little help. You also showed Charles' slow slide into depression very well, without spelling it out or going over the top with it. And the ending was perfect!

Awww I liked it very much! It's really awesome! I'll be happy to read anything you write! : )

This is amazing! You are a brilliant writer, congratulations! A phenomenal piece of work! I'll be reading everything you write from now on!:)

This was STUNNING.
