Oh my... I don't now why I'm crying, right now. Maybe it's because I'm sad one of the most amazing fanfictions I ever have had the immense pleasure to read is over (I'm not telling shit here, when people ask me about my all time favorite Klaine ff or a rec, this is always the first one I'm coming up with) but maybe it's because it's so beautifully written and I'm getting emotional. ...But I'm definitely crying because they are happy. I wanted them to be happy so badly in this ff (I wished we'd get to see them one more time in the future with their child being happy and settled there, too. But I'm sure, they are ^^).
Thank you so for putting this much effort in a story, the outcome is outstanding. I had a blast of a time reading it.
OMG, thank you so much! Coming from you, that is squee-inducing compliment (as your fic recs are probably the best ones I've seen in any fandom
( ... )
So, I have a vague suggestion that might work. If you wrote it backwards, with the angsty bits as flashbacks, it probably wouldn't overload us. (Besides, I bet a fair few of us are angst bugs.)
Anyway, sorry to randomly but in. I just LOVE this verse and I would love more of it in any way. Thank you for writing it.
I'm so glad you liked it and that I gave you feels! Thank you so much for commenting and being willing to put up with the absurdly long waits between updates.
I just read this, and I really need to go to sleep. Tomorrow, or at least soon, I'm going to give a more coherent comment. For now, I'll say beautiful, amazing and thank you for putting the effort and time into this story.
I really want to thank you for this story. You won't believe how happy you've made me with this story, and how sad.
I've recited it almost in whole for my friends and family a couple of times since I first found it and some of my friends started reading this as well.
So, really, all I have to say is THANK YOU. I can't imagine how hard it must have been to write this. Thank you. <3333
*lowers her voice* I wouldn't be opposed to it if you decided to ever write a timestamp where we get to see more of their children. :D
Not falling asleep is good. Or so I've heard. I wouldn't know from personal experience unfortunately (it's that time of the semester haha).
I'm incredibly flattered that this story has had such an impact on you, and that you've passed it on to other people (OMG thank you!!).
...timestamp is a maybe? I have stuff I can write with the kids in it for sure. It just sort of ruins the happy ending I've been fighting for so damn long to end the story with haha. Not that it wouldn't ultimately get back to happy again, but their kids are pretty messed up. If I write a timestamp it will have to be once I've sorted out a way to strike a balance between angst and a positive ending that doesn't end up traumatizing or triggering any of you too badly (I'm not kidding - Maggie especially is SO upsetting at points, I want to be very careful about how I write her).
BUT. Even if that doesn't happen, I'm almost positive I want to write an interstitial scene for Looking for a Happy Ending in the near future, from Kurt's PoV. So if nothing else, you can
( ... )
Just.. thank you for this. This was truly amazing. You are an incredibly gifted writer and you really did justice to Blaine's character by handling his experience in a thoughtful and meaningful way and with a splash humor too. :) This story really affected me and how I view the media's treatment of victims like Blaine, so thank you for enlightening me.
I can honestly say that this is a response that I never really expected to get and it's almost overwhelming for me. I am so happy and flattered that this made you think about how the media handles these stories. There's a trial going on in Canada where I live right now about a case like this that ended very badly, and it's possible that the media's desperate, disgusting scramble for sensationalized transcription quotes is getting to me somewhat, but it really does mean so much that this is making you look twice at the entire process. Ugh. And now I'm projecting all over you. Sorry about that, but thank you again for the wonderful comment haha!
Your entire sequel was a maelstrom of emotion, from the most painful to the most hilarious (your interlude, which I will never, but never forget!!)
I generally like to point to specific statements or quotes, just to show that I noticed your attention to the funny, to people's emotions, to a younger sister's unbelievable narcissism in the midst of this tragedy (which was an excellent method to show Blaine explaining at least some of the emotions swirling inside his troubled brain), but there were too many in this last part to point to, and I got so swept up in my own messy crying that I lost all desire to go back and do that.
And then I was filled with joy and happiness that Blaine got a taste of just that in the Epilogue; indeed, not being too bright, the title should have given that part away, but I guess after reading Waiting for Godot, I didn't want to fall for that a second time... Thank God your story did, in fact, have a happy ending

Thank you so much for the comment! I'm glad that you enjoyed right up until the end, and also that you liked Cynthia's narcissism haha. I find that I really love writing kids because it's kind of liberating to write from a perspective that is hopelessly self-centred no matter what. Even kids who care about the feelings of others like Stevie tend to do so only using themselves as a point of reference. You know, "I'm not happy so therefore you must not be happy, and that makes me feel bad for you." I know Cynthia drove a lot of people crazy, but oh my God did I envy her obnoxiousness while I was writing it xD
And so many people thought it was going to keep being sad and awful up until the end! I kept thinking, "Well... I spoil the whole thing right in the title. The happy ending is on order and will be signed for by the main characters shortly." But then I didn't want to say anything, because, well... it was a nice surprise this way?
