Oh, Puck...

This was so dysfunctional and screwy and canon!Puck, I'll give you that, but it still doesn't make me wish for a happier ending any less. xD Still, really amazing job! I love the image of Kurt, barefoot and smiling, in a frilly white dress. ♥

When I first read your comment I felt so terrible thinking how I would break the news to you... Thankfully someone did that for me. You can't just tell someone Puck isn't closet-crushing on Kurt, that's a very sensitive subject. It's worse than pulling a bandaid.

But I wrote it so readers would think it was Puck (he's a jock, he's mean to Kurt, he has a sister...), only so they would realize it was wishful thinking, but being hopeful that he was the lucky boyfriend mentioned at the end.

Thank you for your comment! That image of Kurt wearing the dress was the main point of my prompt, so I'm glad you liked it.

LOL yes, it was a little soul-crushing, but I'm perfectly fine with living in my nice, little bubble in which Puck is Kurt's new boyfriend. (;

this was so genuinely voiced - the adamant refusal to even label what he's doing as denial because that would mean he actually has something to deny. it's scary how well you got into the head of this closet case and how close he got to actually hurting Kurt way more than usual.

[drikadas]

Thank you! <3 It really is terrifying how someone can hurt the one they love just because they hate what they represent (and can't even identify their love for the other person).

This was gorgeous. Gorgeous and melancholy and very, very thought provoking. Because while I feel so awful for Kurt -having his tormentors strip him, humiliate him, and walk away - I am surprised at how much I sympathize with his unknown tormentor. You did such an incredible job at getting inside his head, capturing that mixture of denial, self-loathing, and uncertainty. And with the final sentences, we get a hint that Kurt is going to be fine (he has a boyfriend, but most importantly, he's still true to himself), but we're left wondering about the jock. The writing was incredible; you have a way with words and description that just added to the pervasive... sadness of this story. So well done!

Oh my! Thank you so much! If I had to do a prompt for this fic again I would use your comment!

I'm glad you felt this way reading my fic, it was exactly what I was aiming for.

I'll admit, when I saw "OC," I was iffy, and then at the beginning, once I got the gist of what this would be about... But you blew that ship out of the water pretty quickly.

This was bizarrely heartbreaking even while it was infuriating - I didn't expect to feel the first of those emotions toward a character who was being so horrific. alter_alterego says it far better than I could, and all that I can add was that this was definitely a worthwhile read.

Thank you for reading, for commenting, but more than anything, for giving my little fic a chance. ;) It means a lot, thanks a million.
