That was just so beautiful in its simplicity. Wow.

So, I decided I couldn't find new ways to say how much I enjoyed this story. So, I took your approach with using a definition as a title.. and used dictionary.com
Love: strong predilection, enthusiasm, or liking for anything
Enjoy: to experience with joy; take pleasure in
Sweet: pleasing or agreeable; delightful
Amazing: to overwhelm with surprise or sudden wonder; astonish greatly (okay, I don't like that one, because it seems as if I would be surprised that something this good could be written. So, ignore the surprise part of that)
Perfect: conforming absolutely to the description or definition of an ideal type
Awesome: very impressive
Yep, that seems to work well.
Author's Response: Oh, Em, thank you so much! You went to a lot of trouble for this review, and I'm so grateful and touched. I'm glad you enjoyed it- I liked this one, myself, to be honest. Hee. Thank you, thank you again and again!

This was so beautifully romantic and then suddenly so beautifully sad. I am really in tears. Really. Whenever I see you have a new story I just know it will be amazing. And this was.
Author's Response: Oh, and as soon as I see a review from you, I know it will be so very, very sweet. Sorry about the tears- but "beautifully sad" is a lovely thing to say. I just love these two so much and want them to have a happily-ever-after. Thank you again!

That was wonderful. So great and brief and sad. Ahhhh, sigh.
Author's Response: Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked!

Oh, it's lovely. Sweet and hopeful and sad and beautiful. And I love its brevity. You used all the words you needed to use, and didn't overdo it. Really very nice.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you very much! "Brevity" is my strong suit in fic, but I truly believe in just saying what you've come to say, and then stopping. Thanks again!

This brought a tear to my eye.
Short, sweet and beautiful.
Author's Response: Thank you very much. Sorry about the tear, but as long as it means you liked it... hee!

Wow! Um, I'm heartbroken over here...
Author's Response: Oh, no! It's a good kind of heartbroken, right? (Thank you so much- I'm glad it touched you, although I really didn't mean to make you sad!)

this is so beautiful and powerful, even with it's few, short words... love, love, love it.
Author's Response: Thank you so very much!

Love it. LOVE. IT.
Author's Response: Love you! Thank you for being so supportive!
Date: June 04, 2007 02:09 pm Title: like a river finally reaching the ocean
Wow, this was beautiful. Thank you.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I love thinking about them happy together, don't you?

All good things must come to an end and you gave them just the loveliest type of ending.
Your talent for conveying so much with so little floors me - every single time.
Author's Response: Thank you! I really think they'll have happily ever after, but when that's done...well, maybe "ever after", too. I'm glad my little one-shots aren't getting old, too- thanks for the encouragement!

It was so hard to re-read knowing what was coming; I had tears blurring my vision the whole time! Gorgeous. Love the different moods evoked by each one. The fact that we've seen the first two on the show somehow makes the other three that much more real.
Author's Response: You are sooo good to me. Thank you for taking time to come here and comment when you have already read it! I truly hope we get to see at least their first date kiss...I'm thinking that holding out for the last one would probably really strain the documentary conceit a bit. Hee. *kiss kiss*

You are always so good putting your ideas in so few words. This was so beautiful and poetic as always. :)
Author's Response: And you are always so sweet about commenting and being encouraging. I appreciate it so very, very much.

Very emotional ending but oh so sweet
Author's Response: Thank you! I didn't mean to get maudlin, but I just like the idea of them being together for all of life's experiencees, even the last ones. Thanks, again!

Outstanding job. Made me cry ... not that I'd admit it to anyone.
Author's Response: Oh, larrymcg! Your secret is safe with me. I'm sorry about the tears, but very, very appreciative of the emotion. Thank you for the nice comment on TWoP, too!

Your fics are like perfect encapsulated moments. I'm a big fan of spare and precise writing - especially when it's as poetic as this. And guess what? This is epic - in thought and scope (proving that it's not the size that counts ;-)
Author's Response: Oh, thank you. Your work is so consistently beautiful that I'm doubly touched by your comments. I'll happily accept the "epic" label as long as everyone knows that my epics are very, very short.
Date: June 04, 2007 11:37 am Title: like a river finally reaching the ocean
Oh wow!!!!! This was so beutiiful and yes, it made me a little teary. Amazing!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!! Sorry about the tears, though. I hope they were happy tears, because these two are going to be so, so happy together.
Date: June 04, 2007 11:29 am Title: like a river finally reaching the ocean
It's so short, but so good! That last part almost made me cry. You conveyed so much in so few words. Great job!
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I'm economical, apparently (also, I write fic at work...I don't have time to write epics! Hee). Thanks again.

how did you manage to say so much in so few words? really beautiful. Loved it
Author's Response: I get these ideas in small bursts. I am so glad you liked it! These two convey so much with no words at all- maybe that inspires me? :)

Nice one, Lis! We just those guys together and you are killing them off??? ;-) j/k
Very sweet. I hope we get to see that third First Kiss in September, if only in a flashback....!
Author's Response:
Heeee, not until after a very long, very happy life together with lots of pranks and babies and smut. No worries!
(Thank you, as always!)
