This is so fantastic, I absolutely adore it! It is my favourite type of fic, feels like it can easily fit into the next episode, all your character voices are perfect.

Oh, this is such a perfect look at the differences between the Warblers and New Directions. I love every moment of this, but especially the Dalton boys just gaping in disbelief that that was actually a drama-free version of rehearsal.

And I love the paragraph about the ND members, as well- how in spite of the ridicule it earns them, they go out of their way to stand out in defiance of the slushies and all the rest. Amazing work.

Oh. <3 This is lovely and sweet and hurt-y all at once. I so love that Blaine is so attuned to Kurt that he knows his different smiles (!!!), and you captured that exhilarating, outsider-in-the-middle-of-chaos feeling all throughout this piece. You got the kids' voices down pat as well.

He wonders if it's going to pull Kurt back, one day.

LET HIM TAKE YOU WITH HIM, BLAINE. /projecting

Such a great read, thank you!

This is really wonderful! I love seeing Blaine's reaction to ND, and I really hope we get something like this on the show! This was just an absolutely perfect glimpse through his eyes.

Thanks for writing it! ♥
