and liking boys had somehow not made it into his daily schedule. Funny and sad all at the same time.

No one wantedhim. Broke my heart.

The "I'm sorry" Blaine uses to sign his suicide letter... perfectly in character. I love his disrupted routine and the three bowls of Frosted Flakes.

I loved the pacing of this. For such a serious subject, it was very gentle. I enjoyed it very much.

It took me many many many many tried to attempt to get the pacing and the tone just right. Thanks for reading and I'm glad you enjoyed it. <3

Oh this was soo...beautiful. Really, really lovely. I just wanted to hug all of the emptiness out of Blaine. And I totally agree with some of the other commenters, another story from this verse would be fantastic. :)

Thanks so much for reading.

I'm now actually contemplating writing a companion...although I hadn't before. Maybe soon.

This is lovely. I really liked the little differences in his routines at the beginning vs. the end. There were also some heartbreaking lines in here, particularly "No one wanted him," which really hit me because it was so truthful to how people can feel about themselves. **cough not speaking from personal experience at all cough**

Is this by any chance also inspired by the movie Stranger Than Fiction? Because the beginning, where the exact amounts of time Blaine takes to do everything in his morning routine is noted, is a lot like the beginning of that film.

I think it's sad that people feel the need to think that about themselves, I mean, not that I haven't because I have, but I honestly felt like it's completely plausible that Blaine felt like that before he met Kurt.

Also this story was not directly inspired by Stranger Than Fiction, but now that you pointed it out to me...it kinda does seem like that XD

Thanks for reading <3
