Even though I have many tabs open of stories I'd like to read, and stories of my own I want to be writing, I drop everything whenever a new chapter of this is posted. It's fascinating. I love the way Kurt and Blaine interact, testing each other and opening up a little at a time. I love that Blaine wears cardigans and Kurt can't wrap his head around it. I really want to know what Blaine has to say about Glee club.
I noticed a couple typos: "like it’s loaded into t-shirt canon" (into a t-shirt cannon?) and "I’m glad that you got you be there for her."
Since Kurt has a cheque of Blaine's, does that mean he knows his full name now? Or do Blaine's cheque just have an address and no name? I guess they must. I'm really worried about Blaine not going to work. If he's used to making hundreds of dollars a night and now he's making nothing, eek, rent will be really hard this month. (I have so many money problems in real life that this is stressing me out, heh.)
I'm getting slightly worried about "What if 90% of this story is amazing and then I hate the ending?" LOL. That would be very disappointing. Like Battlestar Gallactica. Not that I think that would happen. But you've set me up with very high expectations now. ;P
Write more please!

Also, Blaine's bad night at the club made me cringe so much! I felt embarrassed for him, doing such a poor job, but also angry on his behalf about being condescended to and snarked at. And Jackson's "It's depressing to look at you" reminded me a lot of Santana, LOL.

I'm glad it made you cringe, as awful as it is to say. The night with Kurt affected a lot more than he realized, and the club was the perfect place to demonstrate that.
LOL. If it helps, in my head, Jackson looks like Clint Eastwood. He's Clint Eastwood with Santana's attitude. God help Blaine.
Edit: Derp. Never Been Kissed =/= I Kissed A Girl. Klaine, get out of my head.

Typos fixed! That's so embarrassing, thank you!

I have stories that I follow like that too, so that's really amazing to hear. Thank you!
Kurt and Blaine were killing me this chapter. They really are fighting themselves and each other here, so each time that they opened up I was screaming 'THANK GOD'. As far as the cardigans go: sadly, Blaine still dresses like he fell out of a time capsule. It's a little more maturely woven into his wardrobe, but it's just become so much of who he is to me.
Blaine has a lot to say about Glee club. He'll have a lot more to say about Glee once he realizes Kurt's talking about McKinley High.
"Since Kurt has a cheque of Blaine's, does that mean he knows his full name now?"
He does! Blaine also revealed it during their John Hughes icebreaker, but I don't think it fully impacted Kurt there. Blaine has both his P.O. Box and full name the check. Kurt has gotten fairly intimate looking at it, trying to decipher clues about who Blaine is from a tiny piece of paper.

I feel you. There is nothing in the world that stresses me out more than money. Blaine made a comment back in chapter one that his rent has been paid for the month of December, and that he regretted not being able to fork the money over to Beiste. For the time being, his bills are paid, and he's okay. Blaine donates a lot of his money, but he does have a savings account. His father would expect nothing less, and Blaine, having been out with nothing at the age of eighteen, can't fathom going through that again.
He has a safety net, he just doesn't have the cash-flow that Beiste needs. I hope that makes sense and puts your mind to ease. Blaine will get back to work soon though, he just needs a few days to re-center himself and play the part of a hermit.

Oh man. That's a lot of pressure! I hope you'll like the ending (we're not quite there yet!).

Hopping with excitement! I so want to read that conversation!

Oh wow, it totally went right by me that he said his last name! And of course Kurt didn't react because he already knew it, LOL. I love the idea of Kurt examining the cheque in great detail for clues. I bet he analyzed the writing looking for personality traits. Haha.

Oh yeah! Ok, I feel better now. :D That actually makes so much sense. I can see Blaine being ahead on his bill payments and having a savings account, no matter what kind of work he's doing. I bet he's a coupon clipper when he's going through a low-income period.
Oh man. That's a lot of pressure! I hope you'll like the ending (we're not quite there yet!).
LOL sorry! I didn't mean to pressure you! But really, it's your own fault. If you hadn't been so good, this would never have happened.
I think Kurt is a master of the what-if game. The only reason I Kissed A Girl happened was because of what Kurt went through in season 2. No one can convince me otherwise.
I totally agree, but it also makes me go "Where was Kurt's coming out support network singalong? Jerks."
LOL. If it helps, in my head, Jackson looks like Clint Eastwood. He's Clint Eastwood with Santana's attitude. God help Blaine.
Hahahahahaha. If Santana was built like Clint Eastwood, she would destroy that entire school. None would be safe. LOL.

They have a lot of people in common. I don't mean to tease, tease, tease- but between Carmel and McKinley and then New York and Lima, they have: Shelby, Beiste, Rachel, and Jesse. If I ever finish the fanmix to go with this fic, It's a Small World will have to go on there.

Long chapter is excruciatingly long. I don't blame you at all! Blaine's chicken-scratch signature is committed to Kurt's memory, as is his "I'm sorry" memo line. Kurt became the Tumblr CSI when he opened that envelope.

Blaine certainly clips the coupons for Macys. ;)

No, no! It's okay <3 Endings are hard, especially in fic because nothing really ever seems to be complete. I know the feeling where you're following something, and then all of a sudden you're like whoa- did the rest of the page not load? How can this be the end? This feels woefully inadequate. *forever creys* If it's any consolation, I've seen the tv show Heroes from start to finish, and I have a general idea how not to write an ending. Because Heroes- wtf happened to you?
Hahahahahaha. If Santana was built like Clint Eastwood, she would destroy that entire school. None would be safe. LOL.
If Jackson and Santana met, they would implode NYC.

LOL! I cracked up and read that to my husband. He said "I dunno, I'd be worried about any story written by someone who actually stuck with Heroes. That is some serious masochism." LOL!

I was so relieved when it was canceled. I went down with that show like I was Captaining it, man.
