Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. ♥ And it's interesting and nice that you would think to apply this to BIOTA; you're right, this would make that argument maybe a little more painful.

This is beautiful, as is its accompanying art piece. Just flawless ♥

Thank you! I'm really glad that you liked it! And also the art (because I liked it, too).

Blaine never should have let anything show in the first place.

OH, BLAINE.

“You’re going to catch me?”

“Yes.”

!!!!!!!!!!! OH, KIDS.

omg I'm actually crying a little bit. Blaine's resignation and defeat and loneliness faced with Kurt's unflinching strength and support and love -- it's so beautiful, ugh, so perfect and sad and staggering. Your writing just knocks all the breath out of my body, how are you so stunning all the time. *___*

GOD YOU ARE THE NICEST PERSON EVER. ♥

Anyway! Thank you! A lot! I'm so glad that you cried a little, and that's the reason I'm going straight to hell, but reactions like that are so wonderful to hear. I'm happy that Kurt and Blaine came through so well for you, their different positions; you put it perfectly, much better than I would have been able to.

I really want to say something about these boys and how much I love them and how well you write them (all of which is true), but I mostly just want to comment on how lovely and poetic the actual writing itself is, almost like a character of its own.

Thank you for sharing! ♥

Thank you so much! Really, that is an incredibly sweet thing to say. ♥ I'm very glad you enjoyed it.

Blaine’s breath stopped in his throat. He kept staring, his heart pounding in his ears. Kurt was offering this, actually offering this. Offering to help save Blaine from himself. No one in Blaine’s life had ever done something close to that. His parents had taken one look at his problems and let him run while they turned the other way. No one had ever run after him. No one had ever followed, but here was Kurt, sitting next to him in the cold, in the dark, and he had come through the snow for this, just to sit next to Blaine and hold his hand. Just to catch him and turn him around again.

I think this was my favorite part, although it's all so beautiful, sweet, and sad. I love how Blaine thinks Kurt is asleep, the one dark window with the bright person inside. I love Kurt's Jack London reference. The treehouse... all so very lovely.

Thank you! I'm very, very happy that you liked that part. That was a difficult bit, and it was never going to be perfect, so to hear you say that it was your favorite is very gratifying. I appreciate it. Thank you for reading, and for enjoying.
