Ahtena, THANK YOU! It was a great chapter and I can't wait for the next. I check twice a day, but no pressure. You are very talented. I like that Jim is feeling anything, even hate.

Wonderful! I've been waiting oh-so (im)patiently for an update to this great story. You do such a good job capturing the pain of this issue while still maintaining the characters in a realistic way. Fabulous work; I can't wait for the next chapter!

Oh man. This is really one of the most heartwrenching stories I've ever read, and I have to say I that I clicked on the story with a little trepidation. Not because of your writing skills or anything like that, but because this story just about killed me when I finished the most recent chapter a few months ago. This is really, really good, and I'm looking forward to the conclusion.

I have to say that this is one of the best fanfictions I have ever read. I'm waiting (maybe not so) patiently for the next chapter.

This is really gripping. A few grammatical errors are a little jarring but your handle on the characters is very good!

Dear Athena,
OH MY GOD WHY HAVEN'T YOU UPDATED!!!!!!! And don't give us any crap about school work. School needs to take a back seat on this one. In 5 years NO EMPLOYEE is going to be like "hmm we'd like to hire you, but you have this one C on your report card... sorry".
Sniff sniff.. we miss it sooo much.
sigh.

Have I mentioned that I love this story? Your creativity, style, and tone are absoultley perfect for this dark setting. Please continue!

I hope you haven't given up on us! This is such a great story, and such an awful cliff-hanger to leave us with. We're all too emotionally invested, now. At least, I know I am. I also know how difficult it is to write a story like this. I have before. And, trust me, it took a loooooooong time. So, it's okay if you take awhile, just so long as you do plan on updating eventually. Again, this is a really beautiful story.

I just read this from the beginning agian, and now I'm reminding you that I need more mooooreee, please pretty please update soon.

Not to bother you, but just wanted to say I miss your story. I'm sure you have lots going on in your life, but just so you know you have faithful readers here looking forward to the next chapter. I hope to see an update soon of this beautifully written story.
Author's Response:
Oh, thank you so much. I really am working hard on my next chapter. I've just been really busy. I'm doing a summer quarter at my college, and everything is shortened, so I have lots to do. I promise, I'll have some time to write this week!

You do such a good job with this story; it's a topic that is very sensitive and would be so easy to just turn into melodrama, but you do wnoderful work exploring depth and emotion. I look forward to each new chapter!

HEY my review was the 100th review! I don't think that was just a coincidence!
also, I love you, too, because you are
a) awesome, and
b) a H/Hr FAN! WHY DON'T MORE PEOPLE LIKE US EXIST IN THIS WORLD?!
Also, this is good - there are things to look forward to, then?
I feel like a git for increasing your review count in response to one of your review responses. :P

I didn't cry when Albus freaking Dumbledore died, and my friends thought I was inhuman, because it seems everyone did, and I thought I didn't know how to cry about fictional things and characters but you've actually left me bawling, OK? It's brilliant, it's gorgeously written, and maybe it's also the fact that this is also unbelievably real - it's just - perfect. And it's basically ripping my heart out.
Hopefully you hand it back to me at the end of the story - so as hard as it is to write this [that's what I believe, anyway, because this is too achingly real to be written just like *snaps fingers* that], I want to implore you to please, please not stop it here - maybe giving it a happy ending [or an ending, at any rate, that's hopeful and happier, because that's it: i know it's fictional, and i know this is real, but sometimes keeping it fictional and giving it some hope makes it a billion times easier for the people reading it - and hopefully writing, it too?] --
argh, this story kills me every, single, time i read it. my punctuation has probably died, too.
can i say something, though? the way jim's reacting to it? it's - brilliant. it's freaking brilliant, and it hurts almost as much as pam hurts me, and it's - ARGH. i'm talking in circles.
and my punctuation has died.
i can't wait to read more, because this is brilliant, like i've sad - a lot. in circles. again and again and again
someone make me shut up.
Author's Response: Yay, I love long reviews! If it makes you feel any better, I didn't cry when Dumbledore died either. I did cry when I realized that Harry would be ending up with Ginny (I'm a hardcore H/Hr fan). Wow, thank you so much. I was hoping you'd review because you have no idea what your reviews mean to me. Everyone's review means the world to me, even though I don't always have the time to thank everyone personally, I will. . .someday. THIS I VOW! But I love you and I can't hurt people I love. BIG hint right there.

I read all the way from ch 1 to 5, and I've got to say that I've never read a story thats moved me so much. I've been bawling like a baby since ch 2 but its so beautifully written. However it is that you came to write this story, thank you, and I'm amazed about how accurately you're portraying Pams behavior. I too love the stories that tear out my heart and put it back in the end, so I've just got to say please continue writing this one.

Excellent and well-written. Wish we had more good angsty stories, as they're my favorite. Thank you for sharing your gift of writing with us. I'm excited to see where this will go.

Athena this story is so freaking good. I think the way you've characterized Jim here is just fantastic. I can totally see him being pissed at himself for crying and not being 'a man', but at the same time inevitably giving in to it. Also, the pictures on Pam's walls...oh jeez - the fact that she wasn't in any of them. That was just so unbelievably brilliant. I know this must be extremely difficult to write, but I implore you not to leave us hanging on this one. Such good work.

It's amazing I can type this through my tears. But, just.. so very well done. Amazing. I cannot wait to read more, please don't keep us waiting long. Just.. beautiful. And yeah, babbling now.. but so SO so good.

wow, this is so sad. i really hope we get to see a semi-happy ending. beautifully written, athena.

Really this story is unbelievably emotional and well done. I believe that you are right, it is in painful moments that so much love can be found, and you're doing such a wonderful job with a difficult topic. I know that these chapters must be hard to write, but know that we are anxiously awaiting the next chapter.

I thought I had reviewed this before, but I guess not. I am not one who usually likes to read the dark stories, but I did this one, for some reason, and I am glad I did. This is incredibly heartbreaking, but it is so beautifully done. I have not read a single chapter of this story without tears trailing down my face. I love this story!

this is such an incredably sad and moving story. i love how jim is so touched and worried about pam just like the old jim really is. i absolutly love this story. i cant wait for more
