It remains incomplete, but it is worth the read.

"I really like the way you write. If this were printed, I'd highlight my favorite sentences because you describe specific actions well.

This is my first Life with Derek fanfic.

Granted, I haven't read your entire fic through. I skimmed a few chapters - starting with the last one - because this was updated years ago and I wanted to know how/where it stopped (whether it be a cliffhanger or not) before I invested myself in it. Although angsty, which I'm not a big fan of because depressing fics really break my heart, I definitely want to give this a read, starting back from the beginning, just because the characters seem so in-character and this story is well-written. I can imagine the characters saying their lines (maybe because I am hearing their voices in my head as I read the dialogue after coming from watching Life with Derek episodes).

It is regrettable that this fanfic is no longer getting updated (as if it were dropped). I really dislike it! But lucky for you, your writing drew me in to where I'll give it a read - and stick it in my favorites - nevertheless.

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed what I have read so far and I do hope you complete this story. If not, well, I can deal with the last chapter because it isn't much of a cliffhanger (which I thank you for).[1]"

"Wow,this in my opinion is the best story I ever read on fanfiction. I'm not kidding, this story is just amazing. I adore the idea, it very relastic and you have the characters down perfectly. I'm not really a fan of Dasey, but I'm really enjoying them in this story. The emotion is so real, I was crying hysterically in a couple of your chapters.[2]"
