for A Black Swan4/7 c49 sarah7272
Wow, just wonderful, I haven't been able to put this down, I'd almost love to see a film version although without CP and JA it just would not be the same...

So I had been looking for something of a full story to read on TSoM, especially all the angsty chapters - from the moment M & G met to how they fell in love and I must say I absolutely adore your FF! I've read it twice, (i finally made an account so I can leave a review) and i loved the Aggie-Elsa twist! Your story goes from start to end (although the last chapter feels incomplete & this could just be my greedy heart wanting more!). Maria is easier to read as a Character but Georg is complex and I love how you've fleshed out his thoughts all through out.
I think I'm going to read it again, haha!

Wow. WOW. I usually don't review but I must let you know that for the last three or four days, other that work or extremelly importsnt personal responsibilities I could not put this story down, to the point of missing one of my best friends' birthday brunch today because I overslept after being almost unable to stop reading all night.
Honestly, one of the biggest treasures (like, top 5) I've found in my 15 years of reading fanfiction. Georg's grief and love for Agathe was palpable, and you managed to harmonize it extremely well with the slow burn of him and Maria falling in love. I am also fascinated how you managed to interweave a very rich storyline with the canonical first third or so of the movie through a very craftful series of missing scenes. Also, stories where the Baroness plays the role not only of an antagonist but of a straightforward villain usually put me off, but the way you did it was extremely believable. Finally, the Laendler. CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT MASTERPIECE OF ABSOLUTE PERFECTION THAT WAS THE LAENDLER.
The one thing that put me slightly off - and which is a common mistake in TSOM fanfiction, so you are totally forgiven - was the afternoon Mass in Trieste. Until the 1950s, Church discipline was that, to receive Communion, one must be fasting since midnight, including the priest; therefore, afternoon Masses were not really a thing until a few decades ago. But I guess that not everybody can afford to be a Catholic nerd like I am hahahah
Anyway. Many congratulations!

This is a great chapter. Loved the coincidence of the Captain and Maria spending time together. If you get kicked out of the Elsa fan club, they are doing you a favor!

I missed the story alert so just now finished the story.
Thanks for providing a beautiful story to escape to.
I feel hurt that someone would accuse you of what you explained at the end of the story. You do not deserve it and I hope it isn’t bothering you since you supplied your faithful readers with a rate treat in writing this.
I suppose the Baroness will not achieve her revenge on the Whiteheads so I’ll get over the fact that she’s seeking it.
I don’t know my history as I should and wonder if the VonTrapps are safe where they are in the timeline of the historical events. I suppose a month to recover their harrowing escape and they will settle somewhere safe.
Again I thank you for sharing your talent. Cheers!

It's been a long time coming but I'm in tears reading the last few sentences of A Black Swan! I can't believe it's been actual years - an end of an era indeed, and one I will miss dearly.
I actually cannot believe they're married now! And that they've found Aggie (who is a queen) and John! It seems like only yesterday, we were pestering you about when Georg and Maria are going to kiss, at the edge of our seats after every chapter.
Thank you so much for taking us into this wonderful, unexpected, crazy, exhilarating (and more adjectives that will definitely make my review more wordy so insert them here) world. You swept us all off our feet with your colorful and engaging scenes and heartfelt words. I'm trying my best to be coherent here - but I hope you know how many you've touched with this masterful work here, myself included.
(And also, if there is anyone - and I mean anyone - who continues to bother you with absolute nonsense, I, as well as many others, I am sure, are here to back you up! You're definitely one of the best authors I have ever had the pleasure of reading the masterpieces of, and no one, most of all you, deserves this sort of treatment. I am armed and ready, you need only to say the word!)
Sending all warm hugs!

For some reason I haven’t read this story until now and I’m enjoying it so much. The Aggie-Maria relationship is wonderful. I’m on tenterhooks not knowing whether you’ll continue to weave your story around canon or deviate at some point.
On to the next chapter…

I am so sorry this is over. It's been a wonderful ride. Stop listening to folks about their negative attitude. I reread this story twice and I am glad I did I miss out on so much the first time around. Thanks for writing this AMAZING story. I hope you will be back soon, Thanks again.

I have loved this story! So creative, intriguing and yet you were true to the characters, throughout. Above all, you captured so well the love between Georg and Maria and the children. Thank you so much for sharing this with us and the hours/days/weeks you surely spent writing the story.
I am sad that it’s over, but so grateful for all that you gave us. Now time to go back to the beginning and read it all again. THANK YOU!

I love that there was that closure from the beginning. In a way, everything began with the stress around giving John the U-boat plans. Back to those memories, a little memory of U-boats though they aren't going to be important to anyone going forward, to happier times that he remembered at one point because everything is happier now. The relationship with the children, and especially his relationship with Maria. I look forward to rereading this entire piece in one go, sometimes the Nazi side figures got confused-the woes of reading a little at a time.
I really think the part I loved most was Elsa. Her world has changed, but she hasn't. She still feels entitled to what she had and didn't really earn-despite thinking she did. Being reduced to a bedsit and having to just walk to the washroom. And she never thinks that maybe she has done something wrong, it's always something has been done to her, never that she is the person who might be at fault.
Georg and Maria made sense at the end. They're just at peace, being with one another. If I'm honest, the very very end feels slightly abrupt, like it could have been fleshed out, but given the length and breadth of the story, that could be a personal preference and not something that actually needed to happen. Many kudos on a wonderful story, and many digital hugs for someone being a dumber human being than normal.

When a friend told me you had updated this today I came here to check it and since I couldn't read it right away (i was, as usual, on my way to work lol) I saw the final words "THE END" and let me tell you, I low-key had a breakdown because I couldn't read it immediately... so idk the very idea of someone implying you have to write your own reviews? Sick and twisted because I have at least 5 besties over at twitter who were always waiting for a new chapter of this fanfic lmao I swear to god... also if whoever said that to you wants to fight they can search me up on twitter (my handler is pepperonys xx) and I'll fight them because what the fck? you don't deserve this after sharing your talent with us all and for free like? Anyways, back to the fic...
I cried :) "My little black swan" like oh my god, how am I supposed to go on without this fic? idk what to say, I'm both so happy you could complete it and that it's as beautiful and wonderful as it is but also so sad it's over :(
Okay and the whole moment with them finding Aggie and John, that was just the sweetest thing and you seriously almost had me scared for Hede for a second ahahah. As for Elsa whoa, deserved lol. Best of luck trying to fight Aggie xx
Omg and the whole black swan theory talk, that's the part I started making inhuman sounds! The way Georg went so fast from "i don't know about that hahah" to "MY LITTLE BLACK SWAN" oh, I'm gonna think about it for the next 100 business days thanks
The whole intimacy of the last bit of this chapter actually, it ended me but in the best way possible sigh I love them with my whole heart :')
Anyway, idk what else to say rn I'll probably reread this a million times (I already do) and I can't thank you enough for sharing such a fantastic take on these beloved characters! This was a one of a kind type of fanfic (no wonder some people are jealous :D) and I hope we get to see more from you soon, I certainly will always want to read whatever you write about these two idiots in love because the way you write them is just perfection. Thank you! 3 :)

Well ... a perfect ending after all the hardships, thank you! And, I love your imagination - the idea of Elsa creeping down a dirty hallway to a shared bathroom? What an idea! And, to think her downfall came at the hands of her stepchild (and Aggie, of course), I love it!
Thanks for a fantastic story!
