Ahhhhh, your writing is so good, but this story is so heart-wrenching. I need to go back and re-read them all, one day when I have plenty of spare time. And cups of tea. And chocolate. Kurt's emotional breakdown, was well orchestrated and executed. The slow build-up of panic/despair/sadness was echoed in the reader. Because it HAS been a while since I last read Looking for a Happy Ending, I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to place this story in the proper timeline, but that was not the case.
In my attempt to give you an eloquent and critical review, I fear I'm coming across as overblown and pretentious. Oh dear, that was not my intention.
In short. You're a good and realistic storyteller, exploiting the skillful manner in which you play my heart-strings.
This story, I like it.

Thank you so much for commenting! And OMG you are not pretentious at all. If you come across as pretentious I don't even want to think about what I sound like at any given time (toooooo many English classes haha).

I'm so happy that you liked the addition to the story and the chance to hear Kurt's side of things :D

This story is so amazing and you are such a great writer! I love that we saw some of the story from Kurt's pov instead of Blaine's.

Thanks so much for commenting and feeding my ego haha! I'm really pleased that you liked it :)

I love that you did Kurt POV and gave us an insight of what he was going through at the time! Thanks bb!

You are welcome! Thank YOU for taking the time to comment on the one-shot. I always love reading what you have to say :D

I loved reading Kurt's POV, it really fleshes his character out in this story. It's so great the read more of this verse.

Thanks for commenting! I started out writing this with the aim of making it a Klaine story, but poor Kurt tended to get pushed to the background more often than not, especially in this first story. From a story perspective, it made more sense to write it that way, since the major crisis was Blaine's and something he needed to fight his way through on his own, but the entire time I was writing it, I had such a clear picture of Kurt's side of things and his PoV as he was watching Blaine in trouble. I'm really happy I finally had a chance to explore his voice a little more in this story.

This 'verse is without a doubt my favorite. It's just amazing. It's perfectly angsty, there is no drama for drama's sakes, and it's so well written. I am so happy that we now get to see Kurt's point of view and learn how the pieces to how Blaine was found are now all put together. Altogether this is an amazing expansion of the 'verse!

asdfjkl; THANK YOU! :D

I'm really happy you don't think there's "drama for drama's sake" either. Not that I have a problem with that as a general rule, but it's something I've really tried to avoid with this plot. I was worried that if I added extra angst to this 'verse, it was already so heavy the readers might start to actually drown haha. I'm really pleased you think I pulled it off!

You definitely did! It's funny, last week I re-read this verse, and then this one shot came out. So I'm super super happy now. I wasn't expecting you to continue on with this at all! Am I allowed to hold out for hope that we may learn whether or not Kurt and Blaine get through to the older girl they fostered/trial adopted?
