Fic: Day of Silence, Finn

 Prompt: Kurt gets the Glee club to participate [in Day of Silence]. Day of Silence, for those unaware, students going all day without speaking to memoralize/draw attention to others in the past who have been bullied, judged for their sexuality, or generally never had their voices heard. Would love to see how the gleekers are affected by the

There was so much about this segment that made me want to scream and tear at my hair: the idiots in Spanish and their horrible gossip / rumor-mongering about Will, a teary-eyed Kurt indicating that something's gone wrong, and the horrible moment between Finn and the jocks.

What made it all worse was that it was all totally believable.

This part definitely took a turn for the dark, and I think that's more than realistic. SAD, but realistic. Well done. And Finn trying to stay quiet, even when defending himself might have made it easier? Heartbreaking.

This part was so hard to write and I can't tell you how much it means that this actually seemed realistic. It's terrible, knowing that this sort of thing happens, but I want this to be true to real life. Thank you so much for reading.

I really enjoyed this one, too. Kurt texting him the paragraph as thanks for joining in was sweet. As horrible as the idea is, I'm glad the jocks are catching the clue bus on what it's like to be Kurt. Looking forward to the next!

I'm so glad you got why Kurt gave Finn the answer. I was worried nobody would understand that it was his way of thanking him, realizing that he was probably going through enough and it was the least he could do to help. Thanks for reading!

Oh man. Powerful stuff here. The text as thank you - completely believeable. Finn's total silence even when trying to fight back, but stubborn and unwilling to give them the satisfaction...please tell me someone hurts Karosfsky at some point. Little brother had it coming, but big brother needs a serious take down of epic proportions be it socially or physically. Finn and Kurts' actions at the end are completely touching.

Thanks for reading! And Karofsky will get what's coming to him eventually, I promise. :)
