See my icon? That was YOU. YOU made Brittany sad. Happy now?

In all seriousness, it was a very good fic, angsty with the perfect bittersweet ending, since I can't imagine Rach going back to Quinn after all that.

Damn, this was intense and so heartbreaking.
The angst was perfect, and although I'd rather have a happy ending, I think in this case I like the way it ends its more realist and fits better. (But wouldn't be opposed to a sequel)
I love the pace, and Lily's pov on what's going on it was terrific.
I loved that Puck in the end made peace with Rachel because sometimes it's hard to get away from someone as destructive as Quinn was.

my thoughts is rachel leaves, and she should. quinn doesn't deserve after that. not that many times, anyway.

loved the story though. heartbreaking.

Wow, so not the right fic for before bedtime. Excuse me while I go cry myself to sleep.

:( Poor Rachel. This was so amazingly heartwrenching, and even though I am a sucker for happy endings, the way this ended was just perfect. I can't imagine it any other way. Props, for serious.

Holy shit... this was very well done, and I loved the progression of it, especially keeping time with Lily's age. And there were all sorts of cool little things - like all Quinn's coworkers being super nice to Rachel b/c of the cheating, and animosity between her and Puck finally cooling off... I love the bit where she sang on one of his songs :D

The ending was very well done, and I like this left like this - open-ended... kind of. If they were ever to get back together it would be a huge long angsty monster fic with Rachel having tons of issues because of it, and Lily screaming at Quinn on Rachel's behalf, and... lots and lots of stuff :) But I like this like this (length :) ).

Thanks for the awesome read!
