Oh man, your Puck is like... a teenage boy. I know that's a weird thing to say but trust me, it's such a fucking compliment.
And haters to the fucking left 'cause Rachel Berry deserves all the attention that's coming to her. Seriously. I'm so glad you made it believable. Like, a cute boy likes her and pays attention to her and shares her interests. OBVS she'll be like, Sign me up!
And bravo on your slow build, 'cause God knows I could never do it. I just murder mailmen, Finn Hudson style when it comes to that stuff so seriously, good job.
I. Love. This. Fic. Seriously, I love it! I forget how much I love it until you post something new, and then it all comes roaring back to me. I love the breaks, and your use of "and that's how..." to connect all the pieces. And I love how completely and utterly you've captured Puck's and Rachel's voices. And I love how it's connected and intertwined with canon and yet completely a separate thing unto itself.
Could you possibly quite your job to finish this fic? Or maybe just take a sabbatical???
I actually thought of you while writing this because (wait for it....) I wrote most of this while sitting at my desk during lunch! LOL (No boss interruptions this time)
Your entire comment put a stupid grin on my face. Thanks :-)
(Well, if you want to get all technical about it -- he went home for 20 minutes to convince his mother that he was obeying her lame ass curfew before promptly climbing back out the window) That is just so Puck! It made me giggle. I love how he would want his mom to think he was obeying her but he totally wasn't.
I know this is horrible but I really like Rachel and this curly haired boy. I think she deserves some attention gosh darn it! Of course my opinion on them will quickly change and I will wish for her and Noah to be together. What can I say? My pairings are fickle.
This was really great though. I love the way you write. It is very...readable. I have no idea if that made any sense, but hopefully you understand. :) I am dying to read the next part!
So I am really enjoying your Rachel, mostly because I fear writing her. Which is pretty sad since I ship Rachel/Puck, but obviously that's why I write from Puck's point of view cos its easier and makes less forays into Rachel's head.
But... I like her head. I just wish I could write her as well as you do. Maybe I will experiment a bit with her in some fics or maybe just some drabbles to get used to her. She's just SO COMPLEX that I am afraid to touch her and then break her.
Anyhoo, about the story: YOU ROCK. I really enjoy how you slip between the two of them--it makes it more interesting and more entertaining too. Also, its fun that you can totally tell who's who.
Ummm what else? I enjoy the insertion of both Quinn and the curly haired boy as it creates tension on both sides and who doesn't love that?
And I just love your writing in general, so thank you so much for writing! :D
Thank you for writing such a detailed comment! I'm glad to hear that you think I'm doing her justice. It is such a fine line with her....embracing the craziness that makes her who she is without just making her ridiculous. She's the craziest mix of vulnerable determination. She doesn't care what anyone thinks and yet somehow that ALL she cares about, you know?
OK, so I'm ashamed to admit that when I started the fic with Puck talking about Rachel holding hands and smiling at some curly haired geek by the school bus; I thought it was that freaky guy from the newspaper that's always trying to get with her.
I was kind of revolted...LOL
Excellent fic, I just love this series and you really do capture Puck perfectly.

Actually, I take that as a HUGE compliment. Teenage boys are SO.HARD.TO.WRITE! (particularly since I've never been one!)
Thank you SO MUCH for your encouragement. You have no idea what it means!

Thank you! That is such a great compliment-- particularly since I still feel like I don't know what the heck I'm doing when it comes to writing. lol
And I'm relieved that people aren't wanting to lynch me about the blonde "asshole".
