Just. ♥ This episode broke my heart, but with fics like this, I think it's healing a little bit. Thank you.

A lot of people have written follow-ups for this episode but I have to say that this is by far my favorite. The characterization is lovely (especially Jeff, who -- I mean, yeah, we didn't get much of him in the actual show but I love how you've expanded him here to be so awesome and funny with Blaine) and the flow so soft and simple, but it slots in well with the Glee universe. This is definitely entering my book of canon for what happened after prom. Thank you so much for writing it!

Aww, thank you! Really! I'm really pleased that you enjoyed it. And that you listened to the song and that it worked for the moment. There was some heavy internal debate over that one.

I did sort of consciously decide that the focus would be on Kurt's experience for this story. It was what affected me most, and that sort of bled over into the process of writing it. It also would have been a little clumsy to dive into history at any point; the story begged for forward momentum, being in present tense and a little breathless at times, and explanation of backstory might have made it drag. I really do like the Sadie Hawkins backstory, though, and I'd like to use it in the future at some point.
