Chapter 1: Oh my god this was amazing. So well written. Their past lives broke my heart. It saddens me to think people had to feel that way and go through life denying themselves true love. I am so happy that they get a second chance at their love though my heart still aches for them in 1861. Thank you for this beautiful story. <3

Chapter 1: I'm honestly super salty that this fic didn't even get a damn honorable mention in the contest you entered like??? Damn your inner English major is showing xD
1. I love the historical setting - I can't write worth a damn in historical!AUs, but I'll be glad to read them.
2. I loved all of the references; even though I didn't recognize all of them, I read your footnotes and they most definitely fit.
3. Joonmyun...DAFUQ
4. Jongin and Jongdae are so cute like???
Also, you're an amaxing writer, and if you say otherwise, I will Kris over to your house and personally destroy you♥ This fic was a jewel to read (with all the references and stuff!) and, as always, thanks for existing~

Chapter 1: Oh my god this was phenomenal ;v;

I loved the poetry and classics references to death because I take Latin and I just about squealed at the mention of nisus and euryalus. I remember going to my friend in class and being like "they're so cute and so gay" and her being like "nah no way" but them reading it and being like "whoa yes they are and this is beautiful"

So yes I got very involved in this story ahahaha

But jeez your writing is so beautiful and intricate and just makes me feel so good to read it! The way you used poetry throughout was just fantastic and beautiful. And you wrote that poem at (14)??? Good job it's stunning even if it isn't a perfect sonnet!!!!

So so much love for this story and many kudos <3

Thank you

Chapter 1: I bawled in the middle of math class. My cover was blown, but it was worth it for such a beautiful piece of art. Thank you taking the time to write this, no matter the reason. I absolutely loved it. <3 Keep up the brilliant work. Thank you for being well-educated, as well. I admire you.
