*Sigh* Just wonderful. Sweet and sad, serious but funny. I can see both stories coming alive with your wonderful descriptions. And since I (may be one of the few who) like Marley, her character is a bonus for me :-)
It’s the music. It’s always the music. He really should know that by now. I love how Kurt was so worried about understanding his character and then the transformation was so simple. Such wonderful details, like the frayed patch on his sleeve...
I like how you've written the Kurt/Blaine scenes, with so many unspoken gestures and meaningful undertones. From Have you ever had a moment like that?” he asks, and when Kurt doesn’t answer right away his eyes flick up to him. “When everything just stops, and you just - know? to Would piano do it?” Blaine keeps his head tipped down, but looks up at Kurt through his eyelashes. The evening’s been friendly and sweet so far, but Blaine’s eyes are glittering and dark, and they bubble something low in Kurt’s stomach.
And I hadn't heard of the orginal letter before so thanks for sharing the story. It's such a bittersweet tale and I can't wait to hear more - especially if it's written this well. Such a ... right description of what everyone is searching for. when the isolation of a lifetime starts to shiver and then crack, the first disbelieving thaw of an early spring - it’s like someone took his heart and cracked it open and let promises like lifeblood flow into it: Not alone. Never alone.
Thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you're enjoying it so far. The original story fascinated me (and made me cry!) and I had *so* much fun putting Kurt and Blaine in the character's shoes and making them figure things out. (And Marley is a doll and adorable, and I had a blast playing with her here :)) Also, fistpump of successful subtext, I am never sure if that ever comes across to anyone but me... thank you again for reading, and commenting! <3
