i should have stopped reading at chapter 2 i can’t BREAAAAAATHE !! i haven’t opened this website in years and i’ve read your other work before and now i read this one and i cAN’T IDK WHAT I’M FEELING ! i usually read stories with happy endings but in a way this ending was more realistic BUT SIDHQKBSSKSHSJBSJSHDJSHD. still i loved the story it was very well-written and it envoked a lot of emotions 😭😭
Author's Response: I feel your pain! This was definitely a sad one. I don't know what came over me! lolrn rnI'm not in the fandom anymore, but thought I'd pop in for the first time in years and reread some of my stories on here. I've gotten a lot better as a writer (IMO) since I wrote TH, so I encourage you to go look me up on Ao3 (sarahyellow), and/or Tumblr (sarahowritesostucky). Thanks for reading and dropping such a nice comment!

I'm crying as I write this.You write amazingly. It's perfectly formed and laid out.I wish the parting wasn't true. But it makes the story all the more wonderful. ;_;
Author's Response: Thank you!

Though I tracked this story since a few months ago, I hadn't read it because... I'm not really sure why, maybe, deep inside I was scared. And damn! I was oh, so right! In my literature classes I've learned that sad is beautiful too, but I've never been very fond of that idea; I usually prefer stories with happy endings because I love getting away from this depressing reality.
This was so heartbreaking that I cried as I hadn't cried in so long but I couldn't help but find it amazing... Extremely sad, but beautiful.
Author's Response: Well I am so glad that you read it despite your fears. Thank you so much for giving it a shot, that means so much since I did work hard to make it beautiful. And when it comes to being a reader not a writer, I am right there with you: happy lets me escape life, sad is hard to take. Thanks so much for reviewing :)

I....cried.
Two thumbs up for this story. I could imagine every scene you wrote. This is top perfect. Oh my heart
Author's Response: It is a really sad story, and I'm so glad that it evoked such a strong reaction from you. It's a great thing, to hear that you were able to perfectly picture each scene.

So sad!!! There needs to be some sort of prequel to this story!! It would make me feel so much better about poor Bill!!!
Author's Response: A prequel would be pretty boring; it'd just be Bill, all by himslef on that island. Well... and the sirens too. But no love interest or major plot line. But I hoped you like the fic as it is anyways.

You know, this story is one of the few that gets me crying each and every time.. It's so heartbreaking! I can't imagine what it must feel like for Bill, to know he'll never see his love again..
Author's Response: I'm glad it evokes such emotion, and that you read it more than once, wow. Thanks!

Stop it, stop making me cry. i just re-read this and my heart is breaking for Bill. i felt everything they were going through, the good and the bad. The end just shattered me, and now im going to have to find a way to cheer myself up somehow, cheers. You're an amazing author because you moved me, not many things can do that..
Author's Response: So glad my story could evoke such strong emotions, and it's very excitng to hear you came back to read it again. Both good compliments, I think.

Read this again and had thought that, since I've already read this, I wouldn't cry at the end.
But I did!! ;_; I suppose it's just one of those special things that move a person to tears despite multiple times of experiencing it...
Author's Response: Haha, that's awesome! ...Not that you cried, but that it was still that powerful for you. Thanks for the comment.

I love this story. It is very rare that I get to find such a well written story in this fandom that has been well thought out. I mean there are good stories out there but yours was one in a million that is more then good it is great. And it was so well written because it almost made me cry at the end it just was so sad but so truthful it hurt my very soul that Tom and Bill would not be together forever.
Author's Response: What touching comments. I am so glad you found the story enjoyable and touching, and thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.

It's rare that stories make me cry, but yours definitely did! It's so heartbreaking, the decision they have to make, and then the final goodbye, it must've been so painful! I hope Bill won't be too lonely and heartbroken on his island :'(
By the way, I liked the idea of Bill as a naiad :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I rarely ever cry either, so if you really did shed even a single tear at my writing, then I'll take that as huge compliment. I appreciate the review :)

THIS WAS REALLY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! So, Tom's twenty three when he leaves...Goddess, Bill had company for three years after not having any for all his life, and then Tom left... Bill should have tried to go with him, no matter the consequences. Oh, poor Bill; poor Tom. Tom never truly loved again, did he? *shakes head sadly* And I bet Bill never met another living soul... Goddess, this is so SAD!!!!!!!! VERY well done. Truly awesome job on this, and I can't wait to read what else you've written ^-^
Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, it's a very very sad story. A tragedy, really. But I wanted it to be lovely and heartbreaking. I wanted to write that kind of a story. So glad you enjoyed it.

OH MY GOSH. that was most likely the most beautiful story i have ever read!! i was on the edge of my seat the whole time, wrapped in the story with the characters. it was so real from beginning to end and i felt the emotions and conflicts as if they were my own. the ending was so heartwrenching but beautiful; a paasionate ending to a passionate story. i regret taking to long to read it! Brava, i loved it! :)
Author's Response: So many great compliments wrapped up so nicely in your review, I can hardly seperate them. I'm thrilled you found so much enjoyment in the story, and felt so connected and that the story was very real for you. Thanks so much for telling me what you thought!

i should never read the reviews b4 the story. i accidentaly saw a review tht tom leavees so i knew the ending:( but glad it was a sad ending:D
Author's Response: Aw, no you shouldn't! That just leads to you finding out plot details that you rather wouldn't. Oh well, glad you still read and liked it. Thanks for the review!

Wow, so now I'm crying. I didn't think Tom would leave. I was hoping they would find a way, but of course that wouldn't really do. Still, a wonderful, albeit sad, story. I could really feel the love there.
Author's Response: Thanks!
