awesome :) eclare 3

I really liked this story :) It was really intriguing, There were parts I was laughing out loud at and parts that made my heart melt. Good job! :)

This is lovely :)

:")

Absolutely amazing.

Though I didnt catch the The Things They Carry reference; I'm a fan of the book, and I couldn't find the phrase. If someone could PM it to me, that would be fantastic. Thanks!

This story has made me feel... something. Like i'm not alone. Honestly. Ive gone through some tragic shit in my life and just how you approach it is so beautiful. The significance in julia's name. Its such a mind fuck, and i just dont really know how to describe it.

The hoarding tendancy. Thank you for not butchering. Ive had OCD like Eli had with the pebbles, that was relatable. All in all it was just heartbreaking. But the best kind of heartbreak. Like after everything has gone wrong you feel this weight has been lifted. That's how i feel about this.

Its very close to my heart-this story. I did start to tear up, thats really hard to do. But your writing is simply brilliant.

I love daddy/daughter stuff. But this was much more. At the end of this story i started to read it out loud when julia asked if he loved mommy more than julia. Thats when i started to full on break out in tears. It struck soooo many chords with me. Thank you. Thank you for this. And it just...makes the pain easier. A lot...easier.

I honestly don't know why this doesn't have more reviews. It's one of the most well-written and unique stories I've ever read. It's one of my absolute favorites :D

that was so beautiful, i just can't even.. oh my god.

i teared up quite a few times - first, in regard to how obnoxiously adorable addy and julia were, but then, eli's story. i'm a huge stan for juli as a couple, and i'm fascinated by the past eli and julia as characters, and the way you wrote it was so original and just so utterly fantastic.

it scares me that you wouldn't want to write any other fanfiction; your writing is, to put it simply, amazing.

Amazing!

Although, I was hoping Eli would say he loved Clare more but I still understand the whole Julia thing...

and I liked this story! :)

Good job!

This was amazing.

That was incredible. It's like three in the morning but I started reading it and couldn't stop. I seriously have tears in my eyes. Your story was just so beautifully written and felt so natural. I really hope you keep writing because you are an amazing writer. I was just so moved by this story. I've never had this emotional of a reaction to any fanfiction before. THe way Eli and Clare love each other in your story is just astounding.

You are AMAZING.

This was sad and amazing at the same time! Beautiful job!

This was sad and amazing at the same time! Beautiful job!

This was beautiful. Also inspired me to write a oneshot with my OC's thanks 3

It always amazes me how terrible I am at reviewing fanfics, since doing music and movie reviews is what I do for a living. So here goes nothing. This was really, really amazing. It was cute yet bittersweet, and the dialogue was simply brilliant. You made me feel for every single character in this oneshot. The plot was quite intriguing and you made it work beautifully. Thanks for the shoutout by the way. You should write more!

So clearly, you need to write more fic.

This is lovely and wonderful and feels real. I don't read future fics and when you told me what it was about, I cringed a little. But when you explained your reasoning, I figured I could give it a shot.

I love Julia's precociousness, and how much Eli has grown up. How he carries this sorrow that still affects him but doesn't define him. How Clare is such a loving wife and how that doesn't go away after years of marriage. I love that Adam is still a strong presence in their lives. I love how Julia is leaning things and trying out words and getting things wrong and how she's curious.

And the things they carried part is just SO moving. I haven't read it in almost a decade, and it makes me want to reread now that I'm older and now that I have someone that means so much to me.

The ending is just perfect.

Please write more. Just consider it.
