Oh gosh, this was incredible. I may or may not have flailed at least twice.
Quinn and Mercedes praying together was stellar. I'm so glad you threw that in. More writing needs to be done with that.
And that last scene?
Be still my heart.

Flame-io, Hotman. Flame-io.

Thank you so much! ♥ I felt really strongly about wanting to include the praying bit, just because my headcanon for these two (whether as friends or as something more) is that part of their connection is built on their shared religiousness -- so I'm especially pleased you liked that bit.

This is life-giving and gorgeous. Thank you SO much. I loved reading this, and everyone's voice was perfection - everyone's. Lovely writing and thank you for giving this pairing some air time!

Thank you for leaving such a sweet comment! ♥ (This pairing should seriously have all the fic, and it makes me sad that it doesn't.)

Thank you for sharing this *____*
I may be looking in the wrong places, but I feel as though ever since the show forgot about them, there's been a corresponding drop in the number of fics being written. So when I saw this on tumblr my reaction was very sallydraperbeatles.gif. I just love them so muchhhhhh.

I find the Sue/Quinn relationship endlessly fascinating, so thanks for reminding me how out of control my feels are lol.

Also, as far as I'm concerned this isn't getting jossed like, ever. I don't want to be pessimistic, but I'm pretty sure that I'll end up substituting your Quinn/Artie conversation with whatever happens on the show. Along with the physical therapy because there isn't enough TIME left to do this story justice but anyway...that's enough of me complaining, so I'll just thank you again, this made me very happy :)

If you're looking in the wrong places, I am too, because I haven't been able to find any Quinn/Mercedes fic in ages. ;___;

I find the Sue/Quinn relationship endlessly fascinating, so thanks for reminding me how out of control my feels are lol.

Oh, god, me too. SO MANY FEELINGS. I want all the fic in the world about Sue's reaction to Quinn's accident, and I've been keeping my eyes peeled for it, but haven't seen any yet.

Thank you so much for leaving such a nice, generous comment. ♥

[ellydash]

You're very welcome! And thank you! "Bittersweet hope" is exactly what I was going for with that ending. ♥

And please, write all the Q/M -- as you said, there isn't nearly enough of it in this fandom.

Gosh, but this is just the most wonderful thing. Your Quinn voice is spot on (which, given her actual canon characterization, is an amazing feat), Mercedes is great, I love Artie's little scene and how he's not being the total douche-canoe he's capable of being, and FEELS. I have all the Quinncedes feels again, and it's your fault. But I think I can forgive you. :)

[ellydash]

Thank you so much, bb. ♥ I'm thrilled Quinn seemed IC to you, because she's seriously difficult to write, imo (largely because, as you said, her canon characterization is all over the place). And, god, this show could do something really interesting with Quinn and Artie given what they have right now in terms of potential storyline, but I'm sure it's going to be insanely offensive and patronizing and I will yell a lot about it on the internet. :/
