We’d written our own vows, but as we stood there looking into each others’ eyes we couldn’t remember a word of them. It didn’t matter. Shane just gave us a hug and went to stand in her spot. I know she said something beautiful, since I could hear people crying, but I didn’t hear a word of it. I don’t think Alice did, either. Even when Shane handed us the rings, we didn’t break eye contact. Somehow we managed to get them on each others’ fingers without looking down. We might have stood there forever and thought nothing of it if Shane hadn’t cleared her throat pretty loudly.
"Are the two of you gonna kiss each other, or do I have to do it for you?" she asked finally. We just laughed, and I think Alice flipped her off. I wasn’t concentrating. All I could see was her. That continued all the way through the throng of our friends and family and acquaintances, and even when we broke apart a little to hug them, she never let me go.
Lenore and my mom made us promise to have dinner sometime very soon, and we swore that we would. My dad just kept us in a hug for about five minutes so people wouldn’t see him cry, and we let him. We both tried so hard not to laugh, but in the end it wasn’t possible, and he just laughed along with us.
Not long after, Helena led us to the limo she’d rented. Just before we left, she told us that she’d rented out an entire hotel for a night, and if we needed anything, to call her. There was a big bag in the limo with a change of clothes and my meds. We protested of course, but she just told the driver to go.
Alice wound up carrying me to the room, not out of some sense of chivalry but because I was practically unconscious. It was okay, though. She just lay back on the bed with me, and we took a nap holding each others’ hands. I woke up first, and by the time I did it was dark outside. I turned over and stared at her silhouette in the moonlight, and I’d never seen anything so breathtaking. She must have felt me watching her, because she opened her eyes and smiled at me, tracing patterns lightly over my lips.

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!
