Oh my God! I love the epilogue.
I couldn't help crying at the Debbie scenes! :)
My heart is still swelling!
Are you already working on any new stories?
But don't stress over it, okay?

Wow, I couldn't have wished for a better ending for this story than this one! I confess to crying at the end. I really loved the way the plot developed and the way you handled the personalities of the characters. One of the greatest points was that it stayed realistic, everything from the characters' emotions to the dynamics, it was all very believable. Thank you very much!

I really, really love the whole thing with Debbie at the end. I love that all that awfulness turned into something that helped a lot of people. And I love that they got married, of course, they were there emotionally through most of it. Great story, thank you for taking the time to write it!

OK, I didn't review right away. We've been gone from home lately and I read it the first time on my phone. I just couldn't wait. Then a second time super late at night through squinting eyes. So today I read it again and only now feel like I can do a review of this masterpiece justice.
Writing the epilogue from Debbie's POV was utter genius! I was SO hoping we would get to see Oliver and Felicity visiting her and thanking her in person at some point. But seeing it through her eyes was the perfect touch to this amazing ending. Thank you for visiting her life for us!
As for the rest of the final chapter - what can I say?! You are so talented that I often find it hard to believe we have the privilege of reading your work here and not paying $30 for a copy of it. Watching Felicity and Oliver ease back into their "normal" lives was as much cathartic (sp?) for us as readers as it was for them! I could just picture the "swell of emotion" in Oliver's eyes as Felicity got lost in her first 'bad guy tracking' assignment. I could feel the pain that both Digg and Felicity experienced at the cemetery. And I could understand the feelings of love, happiness, and security as the chapter opened. I wish I was as good with words as you are, then I could explain exactly what I mean and how I feel about this story and the mindblowing final chapter. I am sad to see this story come to an end, but I must say ... I NEEDED to see how these two came out on the other side of this trauma and coped with all that happened to them. Thank you so much for the closure and tear-jerking emotions you put into this story. I am so grateful you share this with all of us.
By the way, can't wait to see what you end up surprising us with, as the infamous (in a good way) QoH makes it's long-awaited return!

I absolutely adored this. Fantastic. There aren't enough words. I love how you had the epilogue involving Debbie from the diner. It was great.

It's been a wild ride, riding this fic. I remember the crapload of emotions it put me through. From the moment Felicity found the hair dye in her apartment bathroom, the words FIX IT, has never been the same to me. I was hooked. Done.
I found this fic when you'd written a good 10 chapters, and once I got caught up I was grateful each and every morning I found a wondrous update. Like Christmas :)
To see this story come to an end, and so beautifully I may add, is just gratifying. For you to stick it out this beast of a fic (and a freaking companion/alternative perspective Oliver side fic) is just incredible. Time and time again I have stated the plainly obvious fact that you're an incredible writer. You really are. Your dedication and perseverance with TLT is to be applauded.
Thank you. Thank you so much for a beautiful Olicity fic that got me through painstaking hiatuses and those much needed fic moments that the writers are slow burning us towards.
You're amazing. Can't wait to see what you come up with next :)
Until next time.

YOU! I love you!
This is amazing, i mean seriously! You took characters i adore already (especially Felicity) and gave me a wonderful story, a story of fight and surival, of hope, of fear, of anxiety, of love... You literally had me crying at midnight last night as i was frantically trying to finish this before i went to bed but i couldn't and ended up waking up early just to finish reading it...
I feel like words will not do me justice in expressing how amazingly talented you are... The way you handled all of these sensitive issues is awe inspiring, i wish i had just a slither of your talent... And what was more amazing was how true to character they all were including Felicity who i think is alot stronger than people give her credit for...
To see these pure emotions of anger, pain, relief, fear, love was just sooo i can't even find words but thank you... Thank you for taking the time to write this, thank you for allowing us to read this by putting it here, thank you for being this amazing person who has allowed us into the world you created... I seriously can not praise you enough because this is beyond the words i am capable of...

Just found this story and I'm really loving it. For the sake of constructive criticism, you have Oliver looking at Felicity "with an expression she hadn't seen before" a lot. It might be a good idea to change the later mentions of said look to "that indefinable expression" or "that same strange expression" since Felicity has obviously seen the look many times during the story. Just my two cents, keep up the great work. I can't wait to find out how everything works out and I look forward to reading more of your work.

A beautiful ending to an equally beautiful story! Truly unique and well written. You should consider publishing this as a stone alone novel.

Wow. Now I get to go back and read this all in one continuous binge without commercial interruptions. It's like when a new season of a show you like comes on Netflix and you have to just marathon through it all, you just HAVE to. Thank you for this story, it's made the world a little happier. Seriously.
