Fic: "Until My Dying Breath", Chapter Eight-- Part One. Kurt/Blaine Vampire AU.

[emilianadarling]

The final scene that was intended to go in this chapter just absolutely did not want to happen there, so it's been moved to the beginning of Chapter Nine. So, so, so many apologies for the long wait, everyone. It was exam and paper time for me, and now I'm at work and it's the single busiest time of the year for us. Thank you so much for waiting

He swallows the hot broth down, and lets Kurt stroke his hair, and tries not to think about what is going to happen once Kurt gets bored this.

Should that be "once Kurt gets bored of this"?

Anyway, great first part, now I have to go read the next part. I'll leave a better comment then!

Derp derp derp, oops! Fixed it! (This is what I get for editing at a million o'clock at night. XD) Thanks for pointing that out!

[ficcy]

I feel so bad for Blaine -- entirely too much consciousness of what's happening and too little control over it. It's too depressing. :(

[emilianadarling]

Sorry to depress you!! :( But thank you so very much for reading anyways! I'm glad that Blaine's emotions are all hitting home, at least. <3

Your awesomness.

Here we are again. Finally, I have a chance to read chapter eight. Real life has really kicked me in the butt over the holidays, and with school starting next week, and my brother getting married in two weeks, It's just going to get even worse. But I wanted to make sure I got this read and reviewed before life really got in the way and I have no time for random anymore.

Oh my goodness. The opening to this. As someone who donates frequently, I can attest to the fact that giving blood makes me very sleepy indeed. And I have a feeling that Blaine “donated” quite a bit more than just a pint of blood to Kurt. I couldn't imagine how hard it would be to stay awake after that. I also love that you referenced donating blood with him slipping him snacks and juice to give him his energy and strength back. (coincidentally, I was thrown when you mentioned apple juice, because in the previous chapter you had mentioned Kurt bringing the juice, my mind supplied orange juice, my drink of choice when I donate. heh) I love Kurt's patience, his talking

[amordemealma]

I love Blaine's feelings about not even being able to go to the bathroom on his own, the embarrassment he feels over Kurt's over protectiveness. It's so real. But again, I almost expect Blaine to stumble when he first gets up because he doesn't realize just how much damage Kurt did. I think Kurt is being the way he is, not because he sees humans as these weak fragile beings (though there is definitely a bit of that coming into play no doubt) but because he has a better grasp of exactly what he did to Blaine

[amordemealma]

So...if Kurt doesn't eat...His fridge, obviously it serves a purpose right now when he has a human to feed and to keep alive, but what about before he brought Blaine there? Was it just...decoration? Did he even keep it plugged in? And why would he need such a gorgeous kitchen if he doesn't cook? It seems like a waste of space. Why not get an apartment that has a very small kitchen or a studio space that doesn't even have one? I would think it would save money on rent if he didn't find an apartment with a big kitchen. Or maybe it's just a comfort thing to him? He seems adept and comfortable there, maybe he did a lot of cooking as a human it it's some thing to do or that calms him and he just...likes keeping up the skills? If so, what does he do with the food that he cooks? Does he like, bring it to a soup kitchen to fatten up the homeless that he then kills and feeds from later? oh god. My brain has gotten carried away again. I'm sorry, I just think about things like this.I'm so relieved to see that Blaine has much of the same thought

[amordemealma]

And the fact that he just empties himself of all emotion about it. Just lets it happen so he doesn't have to dwell on anything, the before or after or what Kurt's doing, harsh statement, but it feels very much like a rape victim letting their mind drift and disconnect so that the horrors being done to them don't register and they can keep existing cause there's no other way to cope. I hate comparing Blaine to a rape victim, but...I think it's the closest comparison I can come up with. After all, Kurt has virtually kidnapped him, and although it's 'consensual' because Blaine has surrendered, it's only done because he feels like he has no other choice. It just...makes me not like Kurt very much when looked at in that perspective.

. The dreams bleed into reality, and reality bleeds back into the dreams until Blaine can barely differentiate between the two. Oh God. What a lovely picture. Again, completely heartbreaking, because there's no escape for blaine now. None whatsoever. He can't even let his mind break free from his reality

I'm sorry it always takes me so long to review a chapter, but your writing demands my rapt attention and I have to make sure that I have a large chunk of time in which to R&R to my heart's content. That's not me complaining, of course, leaving reviews on your fic is one of my favorite things to do! Let's get down to business, shall we?
