Oh my God the ending to this chapter, you've smashed my heart to pieces with a bloody hammer. So heart breaking beautiful.

Oh gosh, I'm crying. Like literally, I'm sobbing a bit and tears are pooling in my eyes. I love Enjolras and Combeferre and I just have so many feelings for them... But on top of that, I've always imagined myself as Enjolras and my best friend as Combeferre, but either way I look at it, I could barely imagine how horrible it would be if the two of us were in that situation. I bet that Enjolras is sad because Combeferre feels so guilty, but also grateful, obviously, that his friend listened to him.
I liked how you were able to communicate Enjolras' desperation a nd fear so easily and were able to make your audience feel that same desperation. I liked how Enjolras understood that Combeferre was desperate since they're very close. The bit with the ami was also very good and I liked that Courfeyrac tried to comfort Grantaire. It was very in-character all the way around and I want to punch that doctor in the face!
Very well done!
I'm very sad that this will end in two chapters, but I understand. :)

That chapter very nearly brought me to tears! As I was sitting at the end of my geometry final, of course... That was amazing.

Oh my goodness. I'm in tears. Literally. Poor, poor darling Enjolras… I… I so, so hope our darling boy will be alright. AND OH MY GOODNESS. What if Combeferre donated blood for him and they became REAL blood brothers OMG… Just a thought!
This story is literally one of my favorites out there. Beautifully, beautifully done! Can't wait for the next update, darling! I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to read your other new stories yet… I will! It's just… Life has been wild, man. Summer has NOT slowed down my day to day life, it seems. Woop. Maybe that being an adult? (Yuck.)
Stay revolutionary!

*Is it over yet? Can I collect that broken mess of emotions yet without feeling they're going to be smashed into pieces again?* Oh Mon Ami, this was wonderful! The bloodletting was just so painfully vivid and Enjolras' confusion and desperation to let it all end was just heartbreaking- stunningly done. I also adored how you've written Grantaire here- the sense of double loyalties towards Enjolras and the rest of Les Amis is just… ow… I have literally no more words left for you and then to couple that with Combeferre and that final image- really superbly done my friend!
Please keep going and update when you can!
Much love,

Ok so I've skimmed a bit through the first part because the bloodstuff creeped me out a little, but the last bit especially was really nice with Combeferre being so vulnerable.

I absolutely loved this chapter! The beginning with R and Courf was sweet, I like R in this role as comforter, it hasn't been done often before but I think it suits him. The part with Enjolras and Combeferre was as usual so heartfelt. Especially the way that Combeferre said that he wasn't asking for Enjolras' permission. I do hope the leader will pull through, though I understand it doesn't really look good for him. Great job!

Loved the interaction between Combeferre and Enjolras in this chapter. Though Enjolras would rather not have to deal with the procedure, I love how Combeferre is doing his best to keep him calm while also knowing what is best for him in this situation.
Great job!

Crying! This is so sad and heartbreaking. I love the friendship between Enjolras and Combferre and it's nice to read that Grantaire is comforting Courfeyrac... Wonderful, but please don't kill Enjolras because it would kill ME!;)

Ugh… Do you even realise how close to tears I am over here? Oh Enjolras! All of them… I just want to hug them all and pretend this isn't happening although it is and it's painful but so, so well written! The way you write Courfeyrac and Grantaire's silent desperation and Enjolras' pain and panic is gut-wrenching combined with Combeferre's desperate belief that the blood letting will help is horrendously well done and the final image of 'Ferre and 'Jolras- I do hope they get out of this- I can deal with raging fevers, I can deal with infections but please, please, please let them get out of this alive!
A stunningly well written chapter as ever my friend and I can't wait to see where you go from here!
Much love,

I thought it was a very good chapter, but throw half of it I was screaming, "NOOOO!" At my iPad screen. I guess I should have known that bloodletting would be very possible since this is the 1800s and people still thought that was a good idea. But man, he's lost so much blood already...
I understand Combeferre's position though. You're very good at explaining everyone's thought process and emotions. I feel like I'm in the room with them and I can see everything so clearly.
As for the ending, I really want Enjolras to live and go back to who he was before, but forgive Grantaire and all that, but honestly...would it be more realistic if he died? Probably. That being said, this is Les Mis and Victor Hugo loved miracles so maybe Enjolras will survive by a miracle!
Anyway, whatever you decide, I will read this to the last sentence. It's very good. :)

Another heartbreakingly beautiful chapter for this story! I nearly cried while poor Courf was despairing about how he couldn't be with poor Enj :( and the bit at the end . . . oh my God, that was just too much. I feel I might actually cry next chapter :'( but I mean that in the best possible way.
