You reduce me to tears with every story you write. By far my favorite author on here.

That was beautiful. Thank you for writing it.

Wow, this was absolutely stunning. I went and downloaded the song (Death Cab is one of my favorite bands, but I hadn't heard this one, actually) and was amazed at what a haunting companion piece it is to this fic (and vice versa). Your story is beautiful and heartbreaking, and I see a "chapter 1"! It would work beautifully as a stand-alone, but I would love to see more of this sad and amazing AU.
Wonderful, wonderful job.

Okay that was such a good story, but so sad. This just killed me:
And I said, “This really doesn’t change anything. Not for me. I’ll wait.”
I didn’t know what I was going to be waiting for, but I just knew that I would. I let my lips brush against your cheek as I pulled back and when you looked at me, there weren’t tears in your eyes, just a vacancy.
I really hope he wouldn't have waited in vain liek that; that just breaks my heart.

I have to tell you, this is one of the absolute most beautiful pieces I've read in a long, long time. I don't have time to be reading all the new fic, but I saw that this was short and thought I'd check it out....wow. Sitting here with tears in my eyes. You captured his voice so perfectly - caught that seemingly intangible thing that just IS Jim. It comes to me to say that you've captured here what makes him such a compelling character: He's so open, so selfless and really brave, because it takes bravery to remain that open in the face of everything he dealt with last season.
And thank god he never had to face this, because I really believe it would've played out exactly as you've written it here.
Just beautiful, really.

This really goes to the melancholy core of the Season 2 relationship...so evocative. I love when Jim thinks 'So I did what I'm good at. I pretended....' Heartache on a page. Just exquisite.

Now THIS brings tears to my eyes.
Love the waffle iron. That is SO Jim. Another teapot would have just been redundant.

This almost made me cry in the middle of the work day. Just really really beautiful. The emotions feel so real and true.
Oh, Jim.

This is just heart-rending in the best possible way. The final section is so gorgeously painful.
I also love what you've done with these lines:
When there wasn't any hesitation in your voice during your vows, I put it there for you.
...take you to some exotic place that we’d never actually see, because there would be so much to do with our skin.
Beautiful.

Beautiful. This was so sad, and it made me so happy that it is an AU. No matter what separates them now, what Karen-angst we go through, this, the worst, didn't happen.

*sniffle* This made me cry!
Good job, though.
