BIKE CHANDERSON THOUGH.

So this is flawless, as per usual. I got a little emotional for a moment there. As always your feelings about the whole Santana episode are basically my feelings and I now suspect you of sorcery. I am on to you.

idk my brain is mush today. NIKKI LIKE READ STORY.

BIKE CHANDERSON IS THE ANSWER TO WORLD PEACE, I'M SURE OF IT.

Thank you, as always. ♥ I have a lot of Santana feelings that you'd probably be privy to if her POV wasn't such a bitch to write, so it's probably a good thing that you approve of them.

TRUE FUCKING THAT YO.

I FEEL YOU BRO. I have so many Santana feels that can't be expressed because I fear writing her POV more than any other on Glee except maybe Sue. and Brittany.

Congrats on your awesome.

[firstbreaths]

EXACTLY. Brittany and Santana both legitimately terrify me, but I have all of these Brittany feelings about IKAG that become Santana feelings and GET OUT OF MY MIND AND ON TO THE PAPER, PLEASE.

Aw, this was really good. I liked the sweetness of the tone, which I suppose was unavoidable in a fic about two of the sweetest guys on the show :), and I especially liked that they showed some discomfort with the events of IKAG, which was just an absolute mess of an episode.

[firstbreaths]

Thank you so much! ♥

I have a lot of feelings about IKAG, most of which are about it being as much of a mess as you said, and apparently I like to let my feelings out through fic. Luckily, in this case, I was fairly sure the recipient would be okay with it...

Your Mike is utterly adorable- I really enjoyed him. And the gifts are so on. (The idea of Kurt giving Puck a gift certificate to a salon is just. YES.)

[firstbreaths]

Thank you so much, and I'm so glad you liked it, especially Mike! (As for the Secret Santa, I may have been projecting my own needs a little when it came to Kurt's gift for Puck).

YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE I ADORE YOU. also lol the ending song choice

This was just perfection. Like, I can't even begin to describe all the feelings I have for this. YOU JUST HAVE EVERYTHING THAT I LOVE IN HERE.

That borders a little too close to things Blaine doesn't want to think about, to exactly how much he can relate to Santana, who never got the choice about when she came out, and he falls silent. It's not like Dylan Edwards isn't going to get any presents because he passed Blaine's diary around at thirteen; RIP MY HEART OUT OF MY CHEST, WHY DON'T YOU ;_;

Also, your Mike is so fucking flawless. This bit? "Having someone reference her in casual conversation might just be the best Christmas present she's ever received," Mike replies, smiling softly. - that's so fantastic and just. Yeah.

I'm clearly not coherent enough to leave a good review but just know that this is the best I could've asked for, THANK YOU.

NGL, I MIGHT HAVE SORT OF JUMPED UP AND DOWN AND SQUEALED A LITTLE WHEN I GOT ASKED TO PINCH HIT FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU WERE SO EASY TO WRITE FOR.

But I love you, and I'm so glad you liked it. <33333333

to be fair it was one of your prompts

[missgoalie75]

EEEEEEE <333

OH YEAH I FORGOT THAT WAS ONE OF MY PROMPTS HAHA

[firstbreaths]

it definitely made me laugh, given your fic. Besides, I got this adorable image of Mike and Blaine fighting about who had the bigger fancrush on Ringo Starr.

I LOVE YOU. ♥

I vote Bike Chanderson to save the world!

This was amazing and perfect.

[firstbreaths]

Thank you! <3 (And YES!)
