I do love how you've portrayed Joly in this story. I was smiling through almost-tears. Kudos!

This is really good! I love Joly, so I'm so happy there's a story about him! There seem to be so few... :( but this is really nice and sweet and well written. Please update soon!

Hello!
So, I glanced at this story in passing and saw your very sweet author's note thanking everyone for reading, so first of all, you're very welcome-my pleasure to read, and thank you for writing! :)
This story is really unique and unusual, and I love the point of view you've chosen and the fact that Joly is talking to someone throughout this to get his story heard. You set that up very well, and I know he seems to be talking to one of his children (?) or Gavroche or someone younger, but the way you write it, it's nice because it almost makes a reader feel like he's talking to them.
With the subject that you've chosen, you do an excellent job at making the pace very disjoint, the thoughts very conflicted and sporadic, and really showing our poor Joly as being flustered and hypochondriac here. It's very believable, and you make the reader flustered and helpless because he's flustered and helpless and that's a really good thing! You write his very frustrating internal dialogue really well. It's sad that he's teetering on the edge of sane and not all there...and the way you present this-with little bits of his inner struggle, him realizing that something is wrong in his mind and trying to fight it, it's really touching and eye-opening. I'm really interested to see what you have planned for him.
