I feel so guilty, but I shop Rachel with Bam. He's soo much better for her! :) But they made such a mess out of the situation, that it seems like no one's going to win. Stupid Puck. I don't think he has any right to hit Bam. If anything someone should kick his ass for treating Rachel they way he has! :) Can't wait for more. This fic is amazing. Seriously. :)

Is it wrong that I kinda ship them too? LOL. I just love Bam-Bam. I want to pull him into a bear hug, listen to the Flaming Lips with him and have long, deep discussions about spirituality and the Taco Bell Extra Value menu. SO I GUESS I JUST SHIP HIM WITH MYSELF, HAHA. Anyway, enough of my crazy-- I'm glad you're still enjoying this! Thanks for taking the time to let me know. I'm working on part three now, so hopefully you'll see something new pop up in the days to come! :D

I love your icon. Seriously, I'm mesmerized.

Bam-Bam is awesome. :D Can't wait to read part 3! :) No pressure though. :)

YES. I've been reading this fic from the start and I've been dying for this to happen. For Bam to finally make a move and Puck to walk in and hopefully it'll kick his ass into gear and have him stop fucking around. GUH, the angst! I LOVE IT. And I love how in character both of them are. Usually I don't care for OC in fics but I love the guys in the band.

!!!! I'm so, so glad. I'm usually the same way about OCs...In fact, I usually just write them off or am predisposed to disliking them for some reason, so when I wrote these guys, I was super nervous about how they'd be recieved. It's so nice to know you like them!!

Dude, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback! It makes me so unbelievably happy to know you guys are enjoying this. I'm working on part three as we speak, so hopefully you'll see the next part floating around LJ-land sooner rather than later!

[cookiesmonsters]

Right! OC's usually suck because they're either too perfect or too annoying or just too much but the boys in this fic, esp Bam, are just so lovable. And I love their names.

I so need a new update!

Patience, Grasshopper!

I read all the previous parts in one sitting and OMG, this story is amazing. And OMG too at how much I'm seriously crying right now. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO I FEEL BAD ABOUT THE MOST, RACHEL PUCK, OR BAM-BAM. Because you've made me fall in love with Bam SO MUCH and PUCK WAS SUCH A JERK TO RACHEL -- but still it's that lovable jerk that only Noah Puckerman can manage, you know?

IDEK WHAT TO FEEL AUGH. Basically my train of thought was:

HE CAME IN WITH STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM! WITH GUMMI BEARS! HE REMEMBERED SPRINKLES BUT IT WAS TOO LATE!!! <3333

... BUT HE PUNCHED BAM-BAM. :O WHAT IN THE ACTUAL .. UGGGH.

No worries about the multiple alerts-- I'm always editing stuff too so I totally understand. BUT OMG, this comment!! I know I'm replying a bit late, but I initially got it before I left the country for a week, so I'm just getting back to everything now and srslyyyyyy, you are way too sweet! DON'T CRY! I promise by the end of this whole mess, I'll make up for the emotional torture I'm putting you through. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know what you thought. I'm so, so happy you're enjoying it!

But still it's that lovable jerk that only Noah Puckerman can manage, you know?
RIGHT? I don't get how he does it.

Thanks again, and hopefully you'll get a chance to check out part three, which I should be posting soonish! <333

[of_hearts]

Awww, thanks, dude. Is it weird that I kind of want it to go on forever too? IDK, it's just a lot of fun to write. Which makes me that much more stoked to hear that you're enjoying it so much! It really does mean a lot to me that you took the time to drop me a line as well; I really owe you guys so much for your continued support.

I'm really impressed with your OCs, they're so much fun.
I'm breathing such a sigh of relief here! It's so scary to write OC's and try to make them integral parts of your stories. I think for me, I tend to be really prejudiced against original characters and am less willing to give them a chance, so the fact that you guys were able to covercome the OC barrier and still like them is really cool.

I'm at a loss for words. I just read the whole thing from June till now. How did I miss this story?

Puck and Rachel are totally in character, well done cause honestly that's pretty damn hard to do.

I'm actually really glad Bam Bam likes Rachel. Maybe Puck just got his wake up call. Cause Rachel is like the best girl in the world.

I hated that Cherriho! Ugh! You wrote her so well, and I hated the way Puck was well, Puck with her.

And now he's all Puckish again and breaking Rachel's heart and mine in the process. Someone needs to shake him and tell him that he won't find a better girl out there if he looks for a hundred years!

This is a fabulous story and I can't wait to see where it goes from here! Great job!

What an undertaking! I know my chapters kinda got crazy long in the middle there, so I really applaud you. Also, I'm really happy to hear that it flows well, because given the gaps between posts, sometimes I get worried about consistency. It's great to hear that's not really a concern though.

Thank you so much for the feedback! You're way too kind and I'm so happy you enjoyed what you read. I'll hopefully be posting part three soon, so definitely be sure to keep your eyes peeled!
