Because I have so many feelings regarding the whole Quinn & Kurt scene in the God Squad debacle, and I’ve read so many differing reactions to the scene, and let’s be honest, Glee is just not good at resolving issues like this.

So. Fic.

I like it! To me, this was canon

Oh, thank you! I really appreciate the comment! I wanted some closure for both of them, and Glee wasn't forthcoming, so fanfic had to suffice. :)

Oh GOD, this is SO GOOD and believable. I'm so glad I saw this!

I'm really glad you liked it! I really wanted more from both Quinn and Kurt after that scene, but you know how Glee sometimes, well... doesn't, so, yay, fanfic! :)

Wow. So good. SO GOOD!

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it!

You've not only evoked the characters perfectly, you've captured a spectacular emotional moment between them. It bothered me that Kurt dismissed Quinn so quickly and easily, and it bothered me that Quinn discounted Karofsky's actions as she did. This was fabulous.

Oh, I'm really pleased to hear that you liked the characterization. I tried my best to keep them in character while still trying to make my point, which can be kind of tricky. :) And yeah, I kept reading all this stuff bashing Kurt over what he said to Quinn, and it was so difficult, because I both agreed and disagreed with it -- Kurt should not have ignored Quinn's suffering, but at the same time, she shouldn't have been so disrespectful to the suffering of others. I really thought the whole scene was just a conflict of different perspectives, and I really wish the show would have shown that.

OH WELL there's always fanfic. :P Thank you so much for reviewing!

Perfect reaction scene, is perfect.

I desperately tried to write a scene like this after the episode, but everything I tried, came out horrible. This? This is my head!canon for what happened post-god!squad meeting, pre-accident.
