Wow, this was fantastic!

I don't know if you are considering expanding this into a series, but I'd love to see how the rest of the year goes. The characterizations are wonderful.

I'm definitely saving this to read again. :D

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it! ♥ Actually, I wasn't really planning on expanding it into a series, because it just hadn't occurred to me. And then you and oatmeal-cookie commented saying you would read more, and suddenly there existed a possible five-part series spanning the whole year. So, thanks doubly! I hope that I can actually manage to write it!

This is absolutely enthralling. It's realistic in a way that if followed, gives next season some hope. Of course, we can't expect Fox to do anything like that, and with poor Kurt stuck...
But I digress. Anyways, I love everything about this. I have to say though, Wade screaming at Blaine struck me so hard. I felt ice in my stomach, and absolute terror. I worry so much about that character, especially if they bring him to McKinley.
Blaine and Tina are absolutely spot on: "I quit first." was perfect. Kurt and Blaine's relationship is also very realistic and tangible, which always makes me happy, but I'm really glad (surprisingly) that the story wasn't about THEM. It was about the club. And for the first time since I found out there was going to be another season, I felt excited to see another year.

Now if only Fox read fanfiction....

I'm glad you liked it! Thanks very much. I'm particularly happy that the scene with Blaine and Wade hit you as hard as it did. I had concerns about it not being powerful enough, so it's nice to hear that it was for you.

I love this!

[robotsfighting]

I'm glad! Thank you!

Hah, you have no idea how into a show like that I would be. But how intensely boring to watch! "Day Five in the Glee Writers house; Robots has deleted two thousand words in frustration and left her computer to go and watch Community for three hours instead."

Anyway! Thank you! ♥ I'm so glad you liked the fic! :D

(the tiny little additions from the last version I read are lovely.)

I love how carefully Tina and Blaine take on their responsibilities, understanding intrinsically how important it is - how important Glee club is. Blaine's utter loss at what to do about Wade/Unique is still so palpable. It's just agony to hear Wade's heartbreak at being treated how he is, and how lonely he is.

And Lindsay stepping up and defending him (oh my god, what did she saaaaaaaay!? :D) is just freaking uplifting.

I totally and completely buy Blaine not knowing ultimately how to handle things and feeling out of his depth. Dalton ran like a machine; there wasn't much to do there. McKinley? VASTLY different, and he's just not fully equipped to be Mr. Suave Handler Of Things.

I just love the new club finding their own voice and their pride in it. WELL DONE!!!

Thank you for your suggestions! A lot of positive comments are coming from moments you told me to delve into more deeply.

I actually know what she was saying now. I didn't when I wrote it. But I totally do now.

♥! Thank you! I'm glad this beta experience probably wasn't like pulling teeth!

<3 <3 <3 Not in the slightest!! And I'm always willing if you ever want to work together again (and promise to be Johnny on the Spot the next time. :D)

[robotsfighting]

Hah, no worries! And I will definitely keep your offer in mind.
