I enjoyed so much about this, from the alternate evolution of Finn and Kurt's bro-ness to how much of Kurt's more 'true self' kept wanting to peek out (the H&M sweater, knowing Blaine's apparel), and especially how you had some 'fixes' to canon (Finn outing Santana, Sebastian and the slushie, etc). Though I wanted to throttle Kurt for missing Blaine's serenade, but oh, how brave Blaine was to not stop hoping - one of my favorite characterization aspects of his that I think gets overlooked (He's truly a cock-eyed optimist!).

tl:dr, I gushed cause it was great. Thanks.

I love the gushing! Thank you so much for sharing what you enjoyed and I'm so happy that the things I really loved working with (especially the merging of the Hummel-Hudson households) you particularly cited as favorites. ♥

This was fabulous. Kurt was heartbreaking and real, and Blaine was too. Wonderful.

:-) Thank you so much!

This is amazing! Wow, I really hated Sebastian here! But I loved this!

Ah, well I'm not a fan of that particular character so I hope he wasn't too cartoon villain-y for you. /o\

Thank you!

I am all about "how did the character get to this point" when it comes to AUs. I am pretty sure in other fandoms when I've set out to write longer AUs, I have been nearly throttled for my obnoxious over-thinking. And that's really what interested me the most, was doing the backstory, the fact that it turned into a Real Fic was all the better, because I seriously thought I wouldn't be able to pull off the elements I wanted to explore, especially with regards to Blaine. (And you've seen my tumblr post where I talk about the possible messier stuff that Blaine is/would be dealing with and it was a lot easier to have those elements mentioned through the prism of Kurt's POV.)

So, what I am saying is THANK YOU FOR READING THIS and for the feedback. That Cooper gif never fails to make me laugh.

This is fantastic. I love how you took the canon characterizations and rendered them believably in this world. I love that Kurt never loses his decency, that he puts on an act and treats it as a facade that he can dump when he goes home. He's still that sweet devoted boy who loves his dad and works hard in school because he knows that's how you get out of Ohio. I love that he is jaded and not bitter and that underneath the hair and sewn on chains, he's a good kid who has his head on straight. Basically, I love everything about this story. Well, I was a bit disappointed that Kurt never got to kick Sebastian in the crotch after all.

Thank you so much for the kind feedback! I wanted the important aspects of Kurt to shine through and I'm pleased that you found it to be true. :-)
