This is beautiful, and pretty much acts as a follow up to the movie (she does make it back, I know the summary doesn't show). Although there are some serious Mayfly December Romance issues, it is just wonderful. Not too sappy, not too serious. It's VERY long compared to the rest of the fandom; don't let that put you off. It is the single most amazingly well-written fic I've ever come across in my life. Read it if you haven't. You won't regret it.
