I loved Blaine discovering the videos and going to his dad to give him a hug. I'd been thinking before that Blaine's father hadn't been acting uncomfortable because he had a problem with Blaine, but because of things he was afraid he was reminding Blaine of right after Blaine seemed to hate being touched by him. I'm so glad you wrote it the way you did, it was really moving. And I'm so happy to see that you're not taking some magical road to recovery for Blaine. Some things get better, some things feel like they're always stalling. You're doing a marvelous job with this story, I'll be looking forward to the next chapter eagerly :)
Thank you again for your comments on the section! :D
It's strange, because I think if I had it my way I'd be writing a much happier story by this point. I certainly keep promising one and never delivering it haha. I tend to forget that Blaine getting better doesn't necessarily mean his life is getting easier. In the end I've given up promising myself and the readers something especially happy, just plenty of places where we get to see progress. Like him being able to hug his dad without either one of them freaking out about it.
It was torture getting through my morning classes knowing this was waiting for me. Reading it on my lunch break was a terrible idea though - I had to put my phone down and try (and mostly fail) to hide my tears by the time Blaine started talking to Burt, and I had to get up and pace in the bathroom in the middle of his fantastic conversation with his dad. /o\ God, this is all just so so so well done. Your writing hurts me all the way down to my soul. It's a long and terrible and winding road to things getting better, and I'm so tickled by how you're having him interact with so many people - his destructive non-relationship with Quinn is fascinating to me even as I completely disapprove of it, and I am so in love with how you had Finn talk to him, bumbling idiocy and all. AND KURT, JEEZ, I have no idea how that kid does it, I really truly don't. idk if we'll ever see it through Blaine's tight POV, but I really really hope he has a solid support system helping him out, too. He's stubborn, but I hope he's smart enough to know he can't do

Thank you for commenting but, um, sorry for the minor meltdown in a public place (eeep!).
We will definitely be seeing Blaine's support system, especially the contingency from Dalton, from his PoV next section, as they will be coming through for him in a way even his dear, oblivious soul can't ignore. Actually, it was supposed to be in this part of the story, but unfortunately it just got too big to leave it in.
And you are welcome for the Blaine and Beckett interaction :D I swear, the only reason I changed her name at all is because it was weird seeing the story suddenly turn crossover, not to mention distracting (What the hell would she be doing working in West Virginia without Castle?).
Oh my... this was amazing and lovely and heart wrenching and heart breaking as always but my favorite part was the Anderson Cooper video. I couldn't decide if I felt like crying or smiling so I did both and disturbed the heck out of my roomie. But I don't care, I'm so glad Blaine got to see that. Standing ovations for the scene in Kurt's dorm room tho. Intense and realistic and I hold my breath all the way through it. I love it when you wrote them interacting...
Thank you for commenting! I'm happy you liked it. Fun fact: I didn't realize the Anderson Anderson thing until I started to write the scene, so between that and the hug at the end, the Anderson Cooper video was my favourite part of the this story to write to date. I had a huge, idiot smile on my face all day and people kept shooting me weird looks. I'd grin back at them all, "Anderson Anderson. Fuck you and the non-fandom horse you rode in on. I am happy."
Sometimes it's nice being the person on the bus making the people around you uncomfortable instead of the other way around haha.
Oooh, sorry about the late response. I thought I'd answered this ages ago! D:
But anyway, thank you so much for the comment! I'm really glad you think I'm succeeding in the "Putting Hearts Back Together" front, since that's my absolute favourite part of a h/c story. If I'm going to get depressed I need something to balance it out haha.
Thank you so much for commenting! I'm really happy you like it, and that you like my Quinn! I always have the most fun writing for her, no matter what the story is. It's a little strange since she's not even close to my favourite character. I don't hate her or anything, but I don't really think about her when I'm watching the show. But writing her? I love it. She's probably the character I have the easiest time finding a voice for.
I went out searching for a good crash cart gif to save you, but I couldn't find anything, so I guess I'll just...rub your wrists ineffectively and hope that helps? IDEK haha.
I'm really glad you're liking it and thank you for commenting :)
