Only reading this now but im glad i did so. I was a bit wary because i find myself having less strength to cope with sad endings (LOL) and i hated 1984. Well, hated is not the word, but, you know.. lol
I feel sorry for Matt more than Dom. Sure, Dom goes through the pain of knowing he'll lose everything - but Matt remembers *everything* and he also has to deal with the fact that he could change it all and he doesnt. THat's a far bigger punishment.
The ending is still hopeful because even though you realise that this has happened endless times, you cant help but feel that *maybe* one day it will be different. It's the human condition.
Very interesting fic, you always come up with some something different :-)
