I'm so proud of Kurt for breaking the curse. Honestly, I was literally fist-pumping the air - which is something I never do... The things this fic does to me... ;D
But the end... Kurt... *Sniff* What about Blaine??? Give him a chance...
You did get first comment!! :D *first comment party* (I posted this at 4:30am my time, haha!)
And yes, we finally get to see Kurt break the curse!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU ALL. I'm so glad that scene hit you emotionally, bb! I wrote it practically in a crazed flurry, I swear! <3 Thank you so, so much!
And as for the end... Kurt's been through so, so very much over the last while. And he's been pushing it all down, but now that it's done? He's just not emotionally capable of jumping into a relationship right now; he just needs some space. It isn't the end for them, I promise. But after everything, Kurt just needs some time to figure himself out.
Well, psh. I was all excited because I thought I got first but I didn't realize there was a part two before it was too late. Oh, well; I'll shut up and go read it now...
Okay, first of all? I WANT AN EDIT FUNCTION FOR COMMENTS SO BADLY. You make me jealous, bb!
Second of all: holy god, this is incredible!! :D Oh, it's so much fun to experience your reactions through such wonderful gifs!!! What a collection! (I think that the Darren Criss one right at the top, where he's letting out that huge sigh? Yeah, that was also me while writing this whole thing. Preach!)
And oh, the boys choosing to confront Dave in isolation... <.< eornwohser98fw0nh BOYS. HE IS SO MUCH BIGGER THAN YOU, AND HAS BEEN HARASSING KURT FOR MONTHS. Just... I.... ugh, kids can be so stupid. They really did think, though, that they could handle it just fine on their own. (Ohmygod I totally agree with the Rachel zoom-in and Darren going NO on this one
( ... )
Hahaha. That's one of the things I love about having a paid account. :D
Hahaha! I do love how .gifs can do that for you! It makes things so much easier sometimes. :D And I have many more where those came from. ;D lol (I often think about that one, tbh; I could use it for so many real life situatons. LOL)
I know, right?! He's like this huge, giant man compared to both of those boys, and that was their bright idea?! I don't think they considered that someone getting beaten up could have been a possibility. =/ The rest of it went swimmingly, though, I think.
I LOVE DAVID TENNANT. HE IS FOREVER AND ALWAYS MY DOCTOR; ONLY HIM. 8D I was so happy for Kurt there!! I was all nervous butterflies that he would get up and go with Dave and leave the love of his life Blaine for dead but then he was talking and moving and telling Dave 'no' and yay! :D
( ... )
Can I just tell you how much I love that they got in over their heads? It was like you took the trope (and I'm not talking fanfic here- Glee itself is the biggest offender) of kids solving their own big, huge problems and showed just exactly how dumb that can be. I mean, yes, kids are capable, but they're still kids. And that plan was perfect- it definitely worked, and it could work, but at the same time, they just didn't look at all the potential outcomes.
And the part where Karofsky ordered Kurt to love him and forget everything... yes. I've mentioned several times I love how creepy you made that, and to use it as the climax, and the thing that Kurt fears so much and fights so hard that the curse is broken was just perfect. That was completely intense, and the stakes were just so high and you really spelled out just how incredibly terrible that would be. Fantastic
( ... )
Honey? I want you to know that I always look forward to your feedback on this fic so, so much. *hug* Seriously. Every single time, I know you're going to say something amazingly insightful and perfect and exactly what I was going for. I love the way you touch on the tropes and tendencies in fiction I was trying specifically to highlight/avoid -- mansplaining and different responses to sexual assault in a previous chapter, healing cock in this one. Just... you are a delight. Each and every time. <3
Now on with the response!! :D I'm SO happy that the climax was effective for you! And oh, my gosh. It drives me UP THE WALL when kids in media -- fanfic, yes, but you're so right that the show itself is SO bad for this -- are able to tackle every enormous emotional problem without a single hitch. The idea to not directly tell anyone and go off into the bushes to confront Karofsky? Man, they fucked up big-time on that one; it could have gone so, so badly. Personally, the reason I find kids so interesting to write because they just don't have
( ... )
Aww! I'm so glad. There are a couple people in my other fandom who leave amazing comments, and because of them I've been trying to be a better commenter. :)
I just wrote the single most awful sentence in the English language" and freaked out for a minute. True fact.
I totally believe you! And I really respect that- it is so hard to write someone being that awful. (I also fully agree that that's got to be the single most awful sentence in the English language.) I had a similar experience once, where I wrote a sentence I just could not handle and had to stop writing for the rest of the night. It's a terrible feeling to know you can conceive of something that terrible, even if you would never, ever, ever do it
( ... )
I totally understand what you mean! I think I left okay comments before getting into writing in this fandom, but after seeing all of the absolutely stunningly INCREDIBLE comments on my stuff, I'm making an effort to be a better commenter on other peoples' work, too. :)
Isn't it interesting, how hard it can hit you? And when? I wrote most of "Body" without getting too freaked out, and this fic has rape, intense emotional distress, angst... and the part that freaked me out to the point that I had to stop for a minute was that particular line. It's so nice to know that other people have had similar experiences, bb. How strange it is, how intensely wrapped up we all get in what we write and read! But I think that's one of the most amazing parts about fandom. :)
Yes, Kurt would forget he had a curse on him. He'd forget where he came from, who he was, and even what was keeping him there. He wouldn't be able to fight anymore because he wouldn't realize that he was trapped in the first place anymore. *shudder* It... it would be like taking
( ... )
This is beyond amazing, I can't even convey how good it is. I feel torn up broken and happy at the same time. Thanks so much for sharing, looking forward to the next chapter!
Oh, thank you ever so much, my lovely. <3 I'm delighted that you're still enjoying this! (Inability to convey a response and a clusterfuck of emotions are, in this case, a huge compliment. <3)
Thank you so much for coming along on the ride, hon -- and thank you so much for the feedback!! :D
