Angsty angst indeed :D I liked it though, it was very well written. I'm sure telm_393 will love it.

This was so hot and so angsty - an excellent combination! You did a remarkable job with your prompt, I think. The ending packed such an emotional punch, and Quinn's regret was so real. Your recipient is lucky to have this. Great job! ♥

And despite all that, they both also know Quinn’s still going to walk away. Also, this as well: “In another lifetime,” Quinn whispers, broken and soft into Rachel’s hair. “I could have loved you forever.” I'm a sucker for angst and this was definitely heartbreaking.

I like the way Quinn keeps remembering her parents, their voices and what'd they'd say about what she's doing. I can see it being very difficult for Quinn to break away from that and it makes me question what Quinn's real motives are for ending this relationship (I love the ambiguity of that, by the way. Part of me wonders if it's more than because Quinn can't stand being gay, if the outside pressures are what's really getting to her).

I really love how Rachel's hair plays a big part in Quinn's sensorial memory of Rachel. This is gorgeous:
Against her will, her hands grip into Rachel’s hair, her fingers tangling in soft, brown strands and hundreds of memories flit across Quinn’s consciousness. Memories of how Rachel’s hair looks in a multitude of situations - in the morning sun, in the moonlight, under the harsh lights of school, soaked from a late afternoon shower, or tangled and messy after a long make out session on Rachel’s living room couch.

Poor Rachel, so desperate to please Quinn and burn herself into Quinn's memory in the face of Quinn's determination to leave. :( And god, I loved this:
The tip of Rachel’s tongue begins tracing shapes over her clit and Quinn knows exactly what they are, can feel the familiar letters of Rachel’s name as if they’re branded there.
SO PERFECT.

I'm going to echo fuzzy there. This is so, so sad:
“In another lifetime,” Quinn whispers, broken and soft into Rachel’s hair. “I could have loved you forever.” :( And Quinn has

I'm so sorry I didn't comment right away when this was posted, I've been busy and I just didn't check the comm, which was totally my bad.

Anyway, I loved it. You totally took my prompt for angsty angst and made it something lovely, and I very much appreciate it. The characterization, to me, seems good, and I think that you portrayed what I wanted really nicely. Thank you so much for writing this for me. :)
