Puh... hard one... But I enjoyed reading it a lot, so thanks for sharing. I loved the tone of it. The sadness that is radiating from every word. The anger and frustration somehow, that are never really coming all the way to the surface when he is talking to Ches. Damn, I think you hit close to reality there. I hope that Mike is doing better than this in rl, I’m sure he is actually, but I still think he talks to Ches...

I read this yesterday after I had woken up, and honestly I hadn't expected to cry that early in the morning. It was beautiful! While post-Chester fics make sad, I understand that it was cathartic for you to write and post this oneshot. Writing something like this that has probably been on your mind for a while, even if it's sad, can make you feel free, so I'm glad you shared this.

Well done :)

Anything post Chester is always sooo sad and unbearable for me to read, however anytime I see something like this published, it just pulls me like a magnet, and I know even though it will probably make me sad I need to read it... maybe because I loved LP and specially Chester so much since the HT days when I first heard Crawling and I saw the guy with the lip ring and the sad eyes and the unbelievable voice and now that he's gone I just read these fics as a form of escape from the reality.

Your fic makes me sad but at the same time it makes me wonder so many things... I know all of this is fiction but I wonder how some of these things you describe can be real, I imagine Mike and all of his half written lyrics, and maybe parts of songs already recorded that may never see the light. And could a little bit of bennoda been real at some point during their time together? Oh Lord! we will never know that... I just hope we get to hear some new LP in the future, I know they can do it and will do it, I know Mike can do it... I'm so sure of that, is just a matter of time.

Again I would like to tell you that this one shot is amazingly written and just so beautiful, you can say so much and bring so many emotions to the surface in such a short chapter. Keep writing my dear ❤❤

So, normally, I avoid any and all post-Chester stories. The biggest draw of fan fiction, and the main reason I came back to this site, was to live in the fantasy of a world where Ches is still with us, even if it’s an extremely fleeting and temporary escape. Post-Chester stories totally defeat the purpose of fan fiction for me personally, but I love your writing and, since this is only a one-shot, I decided to give it a try. :)

And I’m glad I did because this is beautiful. Touching and sad. <333 You made me tear up, but I expected that going into it. I knew I would.

The conversation with Anna was heart-breaking. :( I think it’s really good Mike got those words out though. And that Anna got the meaning behind them. That in itself is probably very therapeutic.

And Mike talking to Chester...I wonder how often he did/does that in RL. I wish I could talk to Chester too. :( I wish he knew what he meant to so many people.

Terrific writing! Thanks for sharing! *hugs*
