gOSH okay. honestly, you've been one of my favorite kum writers for as long as i can even remember. your characterization is always perfect and on point and this fic is so easily no exception because you tapped into their personalities SO WELL and not even just for kurt and sam, but for puck and finn and santana and rachel and mercedes and holly and aLL OF THEM.
this is what kurt and sam could have been and should have been and seriously thank you for writing this. even if it makes me want to go jump off a cliff. it's really, really sweet and touching and my heart hurts and i honestly can't wait for part two because i'm already crying.
because you just KNOW they would have become best friends and babysat together and had movie nights and all of this and omg you just did it so well i keep hitting the "edit" button to add things off but OKAY I'LL STOP.
Omg thank you, I love your fics too. And thank you for enjoying this one so much, I didn't really know if it would still work for the other characters and sl's with everything switched around so much and revisiting S2 is always TRAUMATIC so you liking it means it worked out. This is such a nice comment to read.
AND YES they would have been giant dorks together in their own ways, they would have like broke out Cluedo with the kids and shit when times was hard.
This is so, so good. I haven't read kum fic in about 6 months, I'd guess, but I couldn't escape the promise of a season 2 rewrite and I'm so glad I didn't resist. This is so good. Kurt's feelings, Sam's struggle, the way events changed due to their friendship. Lovely, really. And I adore the touches of the Puckurt and Samtana friendship. So good.
Thank you for trying this out and being so sweet about it. I was scared posting this because every Kum shipper has their own ideas of how S2 should have gone and the closeted Sam sl and build up to them dating, I'm glad you liked it! And also liked the broships because S2 needed more of them too, imo.
creys. i was really only planning to read the never been kissed parts but of course i had to read it all and of course it gave me all the feels. oddly enough one of my favorite parts is just the little visual of sam drawing a tank giving a thumbs up in class... i guess it just sums up the adorableness that is sam evans. again, characters are spot on and again love the puckurt bros and the hints of samtana.
if glee was actually good then they could have had this season long schtick where something always interferes with sam and kurt singing a duet until the season finale and it would have been beautiful but of course glee sucks and they ruin everything.
Just THINK about the cute shit Sam would get up to in class. He would just be like turning to random pages in his books leaving notes for future Sam and giving Kurt's handwriting ticks and smiley-faces because it looks nice. And those friendships were cute in S2 but they needed MORE imo, I couldn't not.
You're always such a help with like all of my fic so thank you for just being gr8, btw. <3
nicole i... i always comment about your characterization but it's literally incredible how true to life (or to show i guess) the characters stay, you always hit the nail on the head with characterizations...consistently, my favorite parts of your fics, aside from your storylines, are dialogues from different characters that i laugh at just because hey, that quote was so santana...you didn't even create these characters but your understanding of them is sometimes even beyond that of the writers of the show (lol @ ryan murphy) it is impossible to be anything less than completely gratified after reading your writing and i am 100% certain that if ryan murphy read this fic he would be shooting himself in the foot for not making kurt and sam canon
I have a lot of fun writing the characterizations outside of Kurt and Sam (Santana especially ofc because SANTANA) but Glee is so flip-floppy with everyone on it so I'm never sure I'm doing it write with the characters and ugh just ty for letting me know you enjoy them. You always have the sweetest stuff to say.
This is so wonderful. I don't read much Kum fic but this is exactly what I want when I do read it. It's perfect. I love everything about your Sam and Kurt, everything about how they react to everything just fits so well. It all makes perfect sense. I love the slow build. I love the uncertainty. I love it all. I love seeing the little hints of what's been going on with Santana while all this was happening. Her conversation with Kurt before the competition was wonderful. I love Kurt realising that Rachel has somehow become one of his closest friends. And I love how it fits into the rest of the season so well without sacrificing the flow of Sam and Kurt's story at all. I've always had so much trouble imagining how the rest of the season would have been affected if they'd gone with Kum instead of Klaine. I always felt it would have been better, but I could never figure what would have changed and what would have stayed the same. But I like this. A lot. And it all makes sense to me. And I think this is what it should have been

This is such a lovely comment, thank you. I worried a lot about that Kurtana scene and whether Santana ever crossed the line into OOC sappiness, so thanks for mentioning that part in particular, but mostly I'm glad that this worked as an S2 alternate for you. I had the same trouble with Kum S2 versus Klaine S2, which is mostly why I wrote this, so I'm really glad you enjoyed it, and I hope you'll like the second part as much.
