Dana
I was nervous as hell. I admit it. The entire day up to that point, after Alice left, was spent with Shane trying to calm me down. It worked, and it’s probably one of the best things she’s ever done for me, making it seem like no big deal. When I finally realized Alice was walking toward me, it took my breath away how beautiful she looked. I didn’t even notice everybody watching us. Hell, I think I forgot my own name the entire time I was watching her.
This will probably sound stupid, but Alice has always reminded me of the sun, in a way. She’s always warm, and she just seems to radiate and brighten up whatever space she happens to be in. She looked that way now, just glowing in her dress. I couldn’t take my eyes off her as she kept walking. It was like some weird magnetic effect, and our eyes locked and held. She was smiling so much I thought her face would break.
Originally, we’d planned to walk down the aisle together. It made a hell of a lot more sense to both of us to do it that way instead of one of us waiting for the other. We didn’t really think that tradition was too spiffy, since it made it seem like one partner was doing all the work while the other just kinda stood there and waited. She’d thought that walking together would do more to symbolize what we were really doing. We’d had to scrap the idea at the last minute since I felt like shit and didn’t think my legs would hold me long enough to walk it, but as I saw her walking all I wanted to do was walk beside her.
All I had to do was look at Shane. She just smiled at me and motioned to Alice to stop, and came around the chair to help me up. "I gotcha," she whispered as she put my arm around her neck and her arm around my waist, and helped me to Alice’s side. She just kissed me, which earned us both a gentle slap from Shane, and let me lean on her while Shane got us turned around. I guess the audience might have thought it a little weird to see me walking down the aisle with the two of them on either side of me, but to me it felt like the most natural thing on earth. When we finally got to the trellis, Shane kinda handed me off. It sure as hell wasn’t traditional, since we just stood there with our arms around each other, Alice holding me up and close to her. We didn’t give a damn.

Wow I had to choke back tears and swallow a lump in ym throat more than a few times. I never cry at fanfics but this one almost got me. Perfect MT just fucking perfect. xx Oh and get better soon hun :)
perfect, very sad.. but perfect. Thank you.
*blows nose and puts tissue away* I was dreading the end of this story. This story was amazingly beautiful but SO sad. I’m looking forward to an update of your ‘happy’ story “You” (especially to that certain something coming :P).
Wow, what a beautifully written piece, expertly catching the emotions inlcuding sadness, love and, yes, happiness of these two wonderful people. You are definitely a wonderful writer and I hope you are feeling much better and can continue with YOU very soon. Thank you
okay – i can barely see what i writing due to the tears that are in my eyes. that was really beautiful. definitely your best writing so far. please give us something happy now. that was devestating. great job.
This story should come with a warning label like ‘May Cause Dehydration’ – it was exquisitely written. I miss Dana.
amazing as per usual. feel better so you can get back to writing a happier version of this in “You”.
Perfect. The way it should have been to begin with.
Very sad, but better than the show by a lot, more settled and peaceful and loving
you had me in tears these two last chapters :'( great story!
*gul* This was breathtakingly beautiful. I choked up more then once. You made me cry. *sigh* It was very moving, so much better and so much more human then the stuff we got to see on tv. I liked it. But I’m glad to see the newest part of “you” soon.
I know you had to do it and you did it perfectly. You are such a gifted writer even when I am not thrilled with the subject. You helped fill the void IC left.
Simply beautiful!WOW…I have a lump in my throat and holding back tears!!!You are truly gifted!!!
That was just beautiful. I was crying at the end if only the show could have done such a great job.
Best fanfic ever. What more can I say. You are incredibly talented
thank you for this story. i can’t think of a more fitting ending to dana’s cancer story. you’re truly gifted and i sincerely hope you’ll continue to write danish fanfics.
I so inspired by the beauty in how you wrote this. It gripped my heart and stayed with me. I read it yesterday, cried my tears but still it’s with me. Thank you for sharing your talent. I am so touched.
Ok I hardly even comment fanfics but how could I not on this one? I am literally in tears. I never cry from stories or movies. If you think of the saddest movie ever, I guarantee I could watch it and not one tear would form. Yet, these last two chapters have kept me crying. This fic was absolutely amazing. You’re amazing! Blew IC out of the water! They should take lessons from you. Can’t wait for an update on “You”.
Picturing the scene: You’re reading a book, or watching a movie, and you just have to call it off because you’re so into it that you find it almost painful to keep on doing it. So you decide to just quit. You press the pause bottom. You put the book in the freezer. Well, this has happened to me twice: the first one was a movie by Isabel Coixet; the second one ,Valediction. A couple of months ago I quit reading it at some point of the second chapter. I knew it was just fiction, but it felt so real… I just couldn’t make it. (I know, I know… Too corny!) But yesterday I did. I read all of it, and well, you got me speechless (you know… my English skills are so limited!! :p) Today I’ve bound it!! I handmade a little book (I love arts & crafts!). But unlike Alice with Dana’s letters, I think I won’t be able to read it again… I promise I won’t put it in the freezer, though!
