I remember singing this; it's so very hard to stay centered.
The piece is a perfect metaphor for Logan's life: he suffers more than he should ever have to and so does his mother, just like Marie by the burden of his memories.
It's so sad that the story is so saturated in grief and they can't seem to move beyond that, even in their forced agreement of mutual death.
It's painfully beautiful and made me ache as the tears flowed for all three of them.

Fantastic story, an enormous effort for your first fic, palpable emotions, and a strong sense of connection between Logan and Marie.
Great job!

Captivating and hauntingly poignant. It completely absorbed me while I was reading it, and I love it when a story does that.
Author's Response: Thanks! That's very high praise :).

While the Latin boggles me, thisis incredibly poignant to the point of painful, and glorious, and well-done.
Author's Response: Latin's not my strong suit, either, but this song seemed to just fit.
Glad you enjoyed!

This was such a beautiful piece. Pairing your story with Anna Nalick's Breath was such a stroke of inspriation. Especially that last line...If I get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me threatening the life it belongs to
I even liked (and this may be the first time for me to say this), the rather fuzzy way you left L&M's relationship. You don't go so far as to tell us outright that they are in love, will be in love eventually, or anything so concrete. You just have Marie promise to take him with her so he doesn't have to live with losing another person he cares for. In this fic, that's enough; any more and it would have ruined it, I think.
Bravo!! Bravo! Encore!
Author's Response: "If I get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me threatening the life it belongs to" - that's how I actually felt writing this, like it was a monster or something trying to come out. Probably why it worked. ;)
I originally intended to resolve the relationship a little less ambiguously, but you're right, it wouldn't have worked, so I'm happy with the way it came out and very pleased you liked it. Thanks for taking the time to review.
