Today was the one year anniversary of my own father’s passing. And here I am reading a story about a funeral. Coincidence? I don’t know.

Coincidence, or perhaps just the universe's small way of mourning with you. I'd believe it.

I feel like death fics are easy to do, but near impossible to do right. But by Jove you've made a perfect fic to explore the kind of grief I've felt at the funerals I've been to. That stoicism followed by a bursting of the dam is masterfully conveyed, and you clearly have a really really good grip on these characters. Thank you for writing this!!

I did not cry at my own mother's funeral. Everybody else did. I later thought, "man, I must be built like a Vulcan."

Turns out, it was just depression.

(I got better. Mostly. But yes, advice well-taken on telling people close to you that you love them.)

How is it that almost every time I read one of your stories, no matter how long or short it is, it causes an emotional reaction? From the cute little romance fics to the infamous Nightmare Moon story, you have a talent at writing in a way that makes people feel a certain way. I wasn't planning on crying when I read this, yet here I am tearing up.
