Ahhh! So beautiful! What a lovely way to wrap up the story. I loved the nods to canon, and the thoughts of what if? That made me so sad for canon Kurt because this Kurt is spectacular and happy, and everything Kurt deserves to be.

I have so enjoyed following this story along the way. BEAUTIFUL BOYS!

Thanks for writing it :)

Thank you for all of your reviews!

I did get a little sad in parts of it as well. I really wish Dalton had been Kurt's decision, because I think he would have viewed it much differently.

And oh my god, perfect ending. The 'I'm going to hug you now' from Rachel. And the whole ending Kurt's come full circle, this whole BIT

Star quality is more than that initial spark of stage presence. It’s an allure that makes people want to be around you. It’s that feeling of motivation in a hopeless situation. It’s being blindly stubborn. It’s a blessing and a curse.

It can also mean knowing when to step back to let others shine. A true star lets the other stars shine just as brightly.

Just perfection. ♥ Such a fun read and yes sequel sequel please :D (though I'm really interested in your next fic too wheee all the fic)

[gameboycolor]

It's definitely something I have to do. The epilogue is proof of that. There is still more story to tell!

But first things first, of course. I see my next fic wrapping up by the beginning of May. It's more research heavy. But in my downtime I'm going to work on the sequel so I'll be able to post chapters quickly like I did this one.

So glad you enjoyed it! :D Your comments were fun to read.

[gameboycolor]

I have one project in between this and the sequel, but I am working on it. :D I'm shooting for posting to start in early May.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Your liveblogging was SO FUN to watch .<3

[gameboycolor]

Oh, yes. I am such a Dalton stan so I know that feel. I'm messing around with ideas for a sequel because this AU's S2 could be fun to write...

Thank oyu!

Dalton!Kurt is my favorite incarnation of him so it makes me incredibly happy to see him perfectly happy with his decision to stay there. I loved this story and I can't wait to read the next story from you. Though, I will say, wouldn't Blaine had been playing a DS? That being said, facing the Elite Four without enough Full Restores is a horror I'm glad to have never gone through.

[gameboycolor]

Nah, my Blaine kicks it old school. It's (spoiler alert family member's) hand me down game boy color.

My next story is a crossover, so it might not be your cup of tea, but after that is a Star Quality sequel. :)

[sherryillk]

Well, I guess it depends on what you're crossing it over with since I generally try not to read stories that I don't have at least a passing knowledge of. But then again, based on the quality of this story, I might still give it a try.

And wow, a Gameboy Color -- definitely old school. I can't even imagine playing a Pokemon game on one of those (though my brother had one back in the day). I think the graphics would drive me insane. (And that is why I will never be known as more than a casual gamer.)

It's Grey's Anatomy with the primary focus on Klaine. I'm trying to make it non-viewer friendly by writing up a bio for each of the handful of Grey's canons we will meet, but I understand if it's not people's cup of tea. It's a kink meme full gone multi-chapter. :D

Oh, they are the best! I still have mind, actually.
