Shit. I shouldn't have read the other comments before writing my own. Ditto, ditto, I know right?, uh huh, ditto...

You handled the subject matter so beautifully. I have so many things I want to touch on, but am not sure I can flesh them out...

Will being blase' about his childhood when originally telling Finn was great. "It was no big deal and can we not talk about it anymore" attitude. ThaAnd he is kind of "reporting" his feelings instead of feeling them.

How Will hated college because he didn't know who he was there, because he didn't know how his parents were coping at home, because although his homelife was neglectful and scary, it was predictble and felt normal and safe to him.

I love your Finn. The only "dumb" your Finn is is because he hasn't learned it yet. But he is very willing to learn.

Finn being able to read beween many of the lines. "Dad was 'pretty much' a functioning alcoholic". Pretty much? Finn wonders.

LOVED the term "stab your grandma cake".

I'm very proud of Will for going to the meetings and especially for telling Finn he went. AND for trusting Finn enough to tell him what Will really wanted to say at the meetings.

Note to Finn: Next time you see Will doing the bending over, trying to hold his guts in maneuver, STOP whatever you are doing, go over to him and hold him and reassure him. For the love of God, please, catch this cue.

You really handled this topic beautifully (even though they broke up-and stayed that way for at least a week and a half). Thanks so much for writing this.

Honestly, I didn't have Finn holding Will because I've been in that exact situation and it ended in a black eye because at that moment the person was so very much not in a place where touching was a good idea.

Anyway, after you were pissed at Finn agreeing to the taking a break, I'm glad you enjoyed the second part and that you found everything realistic and in character.

Thanks for reading.

*and next fic is the blowjob one*

So, you've got that going for you.
