Wow, thank you so much for the feedback! I'm so glad you liked my story, and that you didn't feel it went over the top (that's always so hard to judge). I do work hard on getting blocking and characters' physicality right but unobtrusive, so I'm very glad it worked for you.
it took me back to that space of wanting nothing more than to see Kurt go to Dalton and live happily ever after
Heh. I'm still there! Hence the already-partially-written sequel to this fic...
You don't tell us how we should feel - you paint the picture and let us fill it in.Thank you so much for saying this. It's a writing technique I've been struggling to master ever since reading an essay by Mary Gentle about it about a decade ago - the refusal to signpost what I want people to think of the characters. There are points in here where I could have been quite explicit about 'Carole is really meaning X and Kurt is misjudging her because of Y' or 'Kurt is behaving M way because of N pressure' or 'Rachel is acting like A because she doesn't know B and if she

oh MAN did I ever LOVE this! your kurt is so reflective and conflicted and beautiful, every inch. i loved his snarky dialogue with everyone (especially him calling karofsky a closet case; i read that line three or four times before i felt i'd really consumed it completely -- just beautiful!) i liked your blaine a whole lot, and i LOVED burt.
the ending was wonderful, especially with the lovely fanart to go with.
thank you for writing this. i'm so glad i read it!
Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm really glad you enjoyed this - especially the snark. Kurt's brand of snarkiness is tricky to get right, so I'm happy you think it worked!
Everything about this is amazing. I can't add to anything anyone else has already said. Kurt's exhaustion is well-explained and justified. I love this so much.
They are. ♥ The first piece is beautifull and the last one is adorable. Both of them are firmly saved on my laptop for future personal enjoyment(In a totally non-creepy way).
calanthe_b - Wow. Normally fics of this style can come off as being clunky next to the canon events; but this was beautifully done and your narrative wound perfectly within the original storylines. You managed to tie up those niggling loose ends that had been left in that particular story arc. You wrote all the characters so well too. :)
draw_yourworld - The manip is beautiful! I love the shattered glass and the cool colours. It sets the tone perfectly.
profoundrice - Your style is so sweet. I can't finish my cookie, I have toothache. <3
