Mmm, I like this. Very much. (Been there, kinda. ;) )

Can't wait to read more!

Thank you so much for reviewing! I'm glad you like it so far.

Hopefully, I will have the next chapter up this weekend. (If real life doesn't get in the way)

Another fantastic chapter (not that I'm surprised)! I was so, so happy to see you updated! And I eavesdropped (read, whatever) on the above comment and we might have another chapter this weekend? Please?!

(Now that my begging is over) I'll tell you all the things I loved about this.

First of all, I love the way this is coming about between them; it's slow, and (fairly) steady, and quite neat, considering. I know it can't be all smooth sailing ahead, and I really like how you've set it up, so that when the shit hits the fan it will be even more detrimental to them.

I absolutely love Will in this chapter. He's the perfect in character combination of romantic, immature, sweet, caring and a little selfish. As well, I absolutely love how you write Rachel. There are little lines you write for her that are very real, and such subtle signs that she's hurting, and I think that is very true to Rachel.

When she finally calmed down, she pulled away from him, smoothed down his shirt and thanked him quietly before turning and walking out of

Thank you so much for this. I can't even tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time leave such a detailed review. It means a lot and it makes me feel more confident about this story. (I'm always very critical of my own work and I always feel like it is not good, so thank you for making me feel better about it) :)

There are definitely going to be some obstacles and problems ahead for them but it was really important to me that I take the time to build their relationship and feelings and strengthen the bond between them. I've had a couple people worried that things are going to be all sunshine and rainbows and I thought with the title, summary and last line in this chapter it was clear that things

not as eloquent as some of the other posters so I'll just say I loved it...

This is developing into exactly what I've been looking for in every other Will/Rachel story! Slowly, achingly, painfully true to the characters and the relationship we've seen grow between them over almost two years.

You have a real gift for getting into the heads and voices of "people" created by other writers, and seamlessly blending them into scenarios outside the world of "Glee by Fox." That is a rare talent, and I am incredibly grateful to have found it/you! And I think I'm more anxious to see where this story goes than where the next few episodes of Glee take us ... :D

I have to refer back to the comment by hermiones twin: I too have "been there, kinda done that." Do you suppose that's why this pairing is so appealing to us? I'm finding out W/R is not the most shipped pair in the Gleeverse, but those of us who do ship them seem more intensely invested - I consider them to be my OTP - than shippers of most of the other Glee pairs (w/the exception of Santanny, perhaps

Thank you so, so much for this review! I can't tell you how much it brightened my day. I am really glad that you are enjoying this story so far. I really appreciate your comments about the characterization and that they are true to the show. Although now I am a bit terrified about disappointing you and others in the future :). Also, I do think this might end up being a small epic. At this point, I have an outline for at least 25 chapters. It might be more if things are added or need to be fleshed out. Regardless, this story won't be ending any time soon

25 chapters! (clappies) I'm VERY patient, you get all kinds of settled, and take your time. I have a feeling it will be worth it!
