This is adorable! I love the Kurt/Blaine chemistry, but I also really adore the way you've written Kurt and Finn. They're such brothers, and that makes me so happy! Also, the atmosphere was well done. I could easily picture the whole thing in my head. I'm going to be thinking happy thoughts about Kurt and Blaine's long-distance romance now. XD

While the story was great fun, there were a couple of non-fic technical things that bugged me. If it's a problem to mention them, feel free to delete my comment. First, you never have to put up a cut that says ( You are about to view content that may not be appropriate for minors. ). That's something that LJ does automatically if the user is not logged in as an adult. For those of us who are logged in as adults, it looks really weird and for those who aren't, it's unnecessary. Second, your journal layout (white text over a black and white image) doesn't lend itself to easy reading. I had to view it in my own style in order to read the text clearly. And finally, (and most nitpicky and subjective), most people in fandom define a drabble as a story of 100 words. There's some lee way and debate, but at over 4,000 words, this is really not a drabble. Since wordcount can influence whether a person chooses to read a story, it's a good idea to use accurate labels.

Again, I really and truly enjoyed the fic, and I'm only mentioning these little technical issues because I think correcting them will make your work more accessible. Thanks so much for sharing the story! I was sweet and fun, and I had a blast reading it.

Thanks :) I really adore them as brothers and really wrote them how I WISH they always were on screen. And I think the atmosphere was really good because I've gone to football games since I was a baby and really know the feeling of it ;) lol. And me too :)

THANK YOU for bringing that up, because I just really had no clue why it was like that. Like, I see it on almost every journal, and it's weird, so I don't know if I'm wrong by not having it when I post my drabbles on communities, so....thanks for bringing that up. I've always wondered. About the journal....yeah, I totally understand. :P It was originally too hard to see at all (the original layout had the text with a completely black background and near black lettering. I was like 'wth' :P), so I just put this coloring. It's still kind of a work-in-progress, so I'll definitely take your words in consideration when I finish it up :) I just changed it like...two days ago lol :P And on the drabble thing....yeah, I was kind of hazy on what exactly to call it. I'll correct that ;)

Oh trust me, I love it. Anything to help my stories be better is fine with me :) And thank you for reading it! XD
