So much love for this chapter. Burt continues to be awesome, LOVED the lunch time conversations, Mike is amazing (and supportive!), and Sam was a great surprise.

I'm curious to see how Finn's going to handle things. If he can't handle Blaine and Kurt holding hands (yes he's afraid of what will happen to them but he's still asking them to change/hide instead of standing up for his brother's right to have a boyfriend) how's he going to handle a GSA?

I love seeing McKinley through Blaine's eyes, especially the relationships of the Glee members outside Glee. And his take on Mr. Schue is right up my alley :D

Thanks so much for another awesome chapter!

Thank you! I always hoped they'd have Sam be more of a bro-ally, and I can't get enough of Mike. I would really like to see the d00dz stepping up more.

Blaine is the prefect character to look over the group honestly, because he wants to like them and has no agenda aside from friendship and wanting to fit in and be happy with his boyfriend. I think Schue would annoy me less if someone could take him down a peg without being shown to be wrong later on.

I just read everything you've posted so far, and omg I am completely in love. Blaine Directions is my absolute favorite thing in the world, I've spent so much time thinking about how he would react to and fit in with everybody else in that school, and you are going about it wonderfully. His earnestness is so endearing, and he really is the perfect lens to look through just to see just how screwed up everything is over there; wanting to change it not just to make Kurt more comfortable but to just make things better in general is very him. I adore what you've done with everyone, truly - Finn's fumbly-and-sometimes-overstepping protectiveness makes me love him more, Mercedes's Deep Thoughts on her and Kurt's relationship was a much-needed balm for my Kurtcedes-loving soul, Mike and Sam and Tina are wonderful, Burt is flawless, and I hold Tianna so very closely to my heart.

Most of all, though, your Kurt and your Blaine. Oh my goodness. Teasing and singing and sharing clothes (!!!!!) and being there for each other and holding each other ( ... )

Thank you so much. I totally love long comments, so no apologies needed.

Blaine just wants to help everyone. It's not his fault that people don't realize they need his help!

I really enjoy writing them. Even when the scenario is hard, they're the center that makes the story worth reading, I think. That's what's so fun about writing Klaine, exploring how great they are together, in spite of society's hate, ridiculous circumstances, separation, zombie apocalypse, what have you.

Ah, I'm completely hooked on this fic. I love the dialogue between everyone, it just fits so well and is very in-character. And I'm enjoying Blaine's interactions with everyone at McKinley. :)

i love blaine standing up to will b/c seriously, someone needs to. i wish the show would address how much of a douche will is, but i know we're all supposed to pretend he's some golden example of a concerned teacher.

i also love the budding 'rebellion' and the blaine/ND interactions, good and bad. i'm intrigued by blaine and mercedes' friendship, or lack thereof; i hope you write more about it. of just write more in general. a lot more. this story rocks.

Yeah, the portrayal of Schue as the golden boy is really frustrating. If they'd just admit how incredibly flawed he is, it would be much, much better, but I'm not sure the writers realize this.

Thank you for reading.

so last line of this chapter kind of made me feel gut-punched ... i love how you're handling the emotional complexity of all the different issues you're tackling in this story :)

on a lighter note, the image of kurt pounding the stairs in frustration at the makeout session being interrupted again.... soooo hilarious, made me laugh for real :)

loving this story like crazy, can't wait for more :)
