Wow. I love this. It's brilliant. Your writing is gorgeous and I love how you've managed to capture Blaine's impossible headspace. I really can't wait to see what happens.
Er, so you may or may not be one of my favourite ever fic writers and I may or may not have flailed a little when I saw you'd commented... (Seriously, I think I re-read Lullaby too often to be truly healthy, and I just realised you wrote I See You as well! And that's not mentioning the whole Lovesong verse)
Just from someone who's written such incredible brain-damage fic, that means so, so much. Capturing Blaine's headspace was probably the hardest part of the whole thing, because there is no reference to go on. Of course we have Clive's diary, which give a small glimpse, but there's a whole world in there locked away that we have no access to, that he's not even aware of himself, I would think. And so we can only guess what's hidden there.
That line was actually one taken from the Wearings' story, though slightly adapted - I think the original was "come home, Deborah, faster than the speed of light." But I adored the sentiment of it, and thought it was very fitting for someone who could only consistently remember the love they have for someone and the love that is returned by them. And we might just see that line coming back again at some point...
Just quickly read through this all very quicky and stayed up a lot later than I should have (I have to get up for work in about 6 hours). Heartbreaking but hopeful at the same time. But that cliffhanger! Looking forward to Tuesday.
It was hard choosing a splitting point for this part; I could go with the more natural split between part one and part two, or I could split after part two and leave on the cliffhanger. In the end, I decided I couldn't resist a little tease. I guess I take after my Burt Hummel in that sense. She has a rather sadistic habit of doing exactly that!
