Oh, I love this! I'm a sucker for second person and I think you're great at it--as it's typically "hard", if you will. The characterization is great, just...this is so Rachel Berry talking! and oh man do I feel for her, and the allusions to the glee buddy-ups and Finn and Puck(! which o man puck/rachel) are all just great touches.

Thank you so much. I'm obviously a sucker for second person, too, and I think sometimes it's harder for a reader to grasp. I'm melodramatic enough for it, though, I suppose.

Oh my god. this was so beautiful and just... guh.

People seem to hate on Rachel so much, but it breaks my heart so much, because she has NO ONE. and god, that sucks so much more.

Thank you!

I totally feel for her. Everyone in the glee club is forming friendships and she's still an outcast. Get that girl a friend!

Beautiful Rachel fic. Sad, but honest, and it only make me love Rachel more. I loved how you brought up the fact that everyone in Glee seems to be getting along really well, but they still leave her out. It just makes me so sad for her because she really tries, but they just won't give her a chance.

Sigh. I know. I love her despite how irritating she might be and it makes me so sad that no one gets to see the vulnerable part of her that just needs a friend.

I love you for this. Rachel gets a lot of crap, but the people dishing it out never think about how deep she really is.

meggers_27 November 14 2009, 21:58:16 UTC

Aw, thanks.

I wish people could just see that she's vulnerable and that everything really does affect her. She may be driven, but she's still got feelings.

Oh, Rachel. I read most of this feeling awful for her and feeling a little bit like I was going to cry, which is not the usual response I have to things, especially fic. Your Rachel is wonderful - still the diva, but with a lot more of what she is underneath, too: a little lost, not understanding, and pretty much alone. I like acknowledgment of that because I feel like she isn't portrayed this way often enough, but this is really all I see of her.

And I love the way you wrote this. Very honest and clear.

Really loved this. :)

Thanks! I'm glad my version of her came across. I wish the show showed her a little bit more like this to make her more likable. Or at least allow for someone to get close to her since she has no one.
