Just an excellent story through and through. Pitch-perfect balance of dialogue and description, of comedy and seriousness, of romantic and seriously hot moments. Characterisation of everyone, but especially Santana was truly brilliant - that you didn't just pigeonhole her as the bitch (and didn't just pigeonhole Brittany is the crazy one) and completely made them proper characters with complexity, uncertainty and all that stuff.
So good.

Gah. Thank you! ♥

Balance (of everything) was my biggest concern when writing. I'm glad it was executed. Thank you for noticing and saying something about it. It's seriously the best feeling when my intentions are recognized.

Thanks again!!

Not at all :)
You did an outstanding job on this, and I'm really looking forwards to seeing what else you write. I mean, you totally nailed it.

Also, just so you know, the whole Livejournal connection issues meant that I tried countless times to post that comment on two separate days, because I couldn't let it go without letting you know how much I genuinely loved this piece...

I'm working on a few things. So, something should be up soon. :)

I really appreciate it! Most people wouldn't lol (the hits on FF prove this theory) so that you put forth the effort even with crazy LJ means a lot! I'm really really glad you enjoyed it. As long as at least one person gets it the way I do, it's totes worth. Thanks again!

I'm Nique, btw.

WOW! Such a good story. I loved everything about it; the characterizations, the glee involvement, the sex scene. Yeah, that's right the sex scene was all kinds of better with feelings. It was so much more than just sex.

Really glad I made the choice to read this. Kudos on a well executed fic!

[rockinrye]

Thanks so much! :) ♥

I'm really glad you enjoyed and I appreciate the review. Thanks again!

I've had this fic open in a tab for the last few days as a way of reminding me to read it when I had the chance. I wasn't really feeling the reading love the last couple days after work, but I finally sat down and read it, and FUCK am I glad I didn't close the tab! (I tend to open too many, and earmark too much shit to read, leading me to cull the list at times)

This is one of those ones that just oozes perfection and beauty, that is just so darn pretty. And holy crap, I almost highlighted and copied entire swaths of description and text from this because of how GORGEOUS they were. Your way with words is...so much 'oh *wow*' inducing

[rockinrye]

I'm so glad you kept the tag open! :)

Pretty? That's like the nicest thing ever. And gorgeous? I'm seriously blushing. I like when people like the words as much as the story. Thanks so much! I really appreciate it.

I'm very visual, so I see everything happening when I'm writing it and it would be so cool to like really have them play out. For me, this was more about Santana and all the relationships around her. It's tagged Brittana because that's where we end, but I think it's so important for her to interact with other people with what's going on. I want Rachel/Santana songs and friendship super bad lol. We'll keep our fingers crossed for it! lol

Thanks so much for reviewing and I'm glad it got you thinking. That's always the most rewarding part of writing. And please don't thank me lol. I just really appreciate you taking the time to read and enjoying it and having lots of cool things to say about it. So, thank you!

This was so good. I love reading canon summer fics, and this was great. Sometimes I think people give Santana too much angst, but this was the perfect mix of Santana being angsty and just being Santana. And I adored how Britt handled it all. And I loved all the Glee outings Santana got dragged too. It's definitely my canon that they all hung out during the summer. I loved it all.

Thanks! <3

Aaaand the epilogue was equal amounts of amazing. I have to say, I honestly snickered, giggled, and chuckled out loud during several parts of this story - from chapter one to epilogue. And while it's still on my mind, the back and forth bitchiness between Santana and Quinn at the pool was hysterical. This whole thing totally made my night, and now that my chest doesn't feel like it's being swallowed up, I can go to bed feeling light and satisfied. Truly an amazing work of fanfiction. I'm pretty sure this is why actors all love their jobs.

I laughed writing it so I'm glad things weren't just funny to me. Haha. I love Quinntana snark. It's my favorite kind. Writing their scenes is always fun because they remind me of people I know. I'm sorry I made your chest tight but I'm glad you're light now! Thanks so much for reading! ♥
