Oh, sweetie. *hugs* Seriously, I'm so happy you enjoyed this. (If 'enjoy' is the right word for some very emotionally taxing stuff. Don't break your heart, lovely. Keep it whole and happy. <3)
And oh, my, thank you so much. <3 Sometimes I think that the kinkmeme and prompt posts like it are tailor-made for my soul, because the prompts there always create these big, elaborate stories in my head that just need to be written down right now and I won't stop until they're done. (Other times, I think that the kinkmeme people must hate me because I deviate away from prompts so much oh my god, lol.) I completely sympathize with the way that sometimes fics come about and you're like THIS IS EVERYTHING I WANT AND MORE and then it just fizzles out into nothing because the author hasn't quite thought it all the way through. :( That always sucks so much, and I'm completely over the moon that you don't think I do that. <3 I was hesitant to take this prompt at first, because I knew that I was going to be altering it so much, but I'm so happy that you thought it worked!
Thank you! I can't even imagine the emotional journey that must have been reading this all at once, haha, so well done you!
I love writing AUs, I'm finding out, but the reason I love them so much is because we get to explore the canon characters we already know but in a different set of circumstances. I hope that the canon characters always find a way to shine through, even when I'm putting them in weird and strange circumstances, so thank you for saying Kurt's speech there is effective and him. Kurt is a seriously BAMF guy in whatever world I write him into, I swear. XD (Oh, and thank you for the 'glorious' compliment! I had that phrase stuck in my head for DAYS before I finally got to write it down for that scene.)
He doesn’t stand a chance against Kurt-minus-curse. <-- I'm so happy that this came through effectively. Because in no way, shape, or form is Karofsky a match for Kurt without the curse. It's just not going to happen. Karofsky is a broken little scared boy, and Kurt is all the things you said: grace and beauty and strength and power and freedom, and no way can Dave fight that. You can better believe he ran with everything he had to get away. Again, Kurt is always such a strong character to me. He deserved to have that moment of sheer power.
Oh, bb, the scene where Burt and Blaine enter the old dorm room isn't a strange place to feel emotional at all, I don't think. Like you say, it's an experience I think we can all relate to: we build places up in our minds so much, and when we finally confront them and find them normal? It's so powerful and so... belittling, almost in a way.
Sometimes we come back to places that meant so much for us, laden either with happiness or bitter tears, and more often than not find the place so small, so normal, so not worth the weight they carry in our dreams or nightmare. <--- completely this, oh my gosh, yes, this. It's a normal room, with normal things, and more than that? It's so recent. The whole experience seems so far away and over, but then they go inside and see how very recently it all happened. From looking at the dorm room alone, it could very well have still been happening. It's still so fresh, there, even as it's so normal it hurts. It actually means so much that this scene was effective to you, so thank you for telling me.
Remembering that you miss someone is such a powerful experience, isn't it? Because you can go for ages, moving along, dealing with your own life, and sometimes it just hits you that oh, yeah, I miss this person very much and it's surprising. I can completely sympathize with the scenarios you describe, because they're just so true and universal. Oh, yes. <3 And I'm so glad you like the little canon-nods, haha! It always seems to me that, despite the different scenarios, these are still the same people we've seen in the show. They're going to have the same lexicon of phrases and responses to things as they always did, so it makes sense for some things to mirror the show in that way. XD So glad you like it, and that it isn't cheesy!
