I read the prompt and thought it would take someone really good to do justice to it and not make it into melodrama or apology fic and I was so happy to see you wanted to write it. This was kind of like a punch to the gut (this is a good thing!), especially with the Little Mermaid analogy (some of those fairy tales were screwed up) and the phone call coming right after that delightful scene with David dancing with Kurt. I loved how Kurt kept thinking about how much he didn't want to help even while he was helping and I think you did a really good job with Blaine. Sometimes his characterization in fic goes into frustrating Yoda mode without any authorial indication that it's unrealistic or that no, he really isn't right all the time and that Kurt wants him to be there but doesn't need himself to be talked at all the time. I loved that Blaine's actions with Karofsky were consistent (the psychiatrist thing really does explain so much) and that he also got called an idiot by Kurt (while getting mooned over, good compartmentalization there, Kurt!), without any of those two things making him a lesser character, just a more real one. And honestly, a more interesting one. Also, just like in the French class fic, Azimio's writing was wonderful. The ending here made him approaching a somewhat better version of himself for the sake of his friend even as he talked about going home and not wanting to deal with all that, and I really liked that.

I shall now be spoiled even after all this fic goodness and not demand but hope eagerly that you get inspired somehow to write the scene where Kurt tells his dad everything. Narratively not really important to these events, but man, I'd love to read it if you ever do write it.

Ohhh my god thank you. I'm so glad you liked it and it didn't seem too melodrama-y. And, okay, that I gut punched you, being as I am an evil person in that way. And duuude, I love fairy tales but seriously, they are all messed up as hell, even after Disney cleans them up (fifteen years old? leave your family, species, and voice behind for a dude you don't know! it will end well! looks legit).

I am tickled pink you like Blaine, who is, no lie, somehow even harder than Azimio to write. I have a prompt where he's a main character and I don't even know how I'm going to do itttt, the pain. Balancing his perfection persona, which is all we've seen so far, with 1) him being a person, and a teenage boy to boot 2) the fact that he's a character on a TV show and duty-bound to have issues. I don't know.

It was time for Azimio. He has like eight thousand miles to go but if you don't start when your bff is in the hospital, when do you start. He'll backslide, though, probably. Man.

I will keep that in mind! I do kind of want to keep this going... but I seriously have to catch up on prompts first... hnnn I will make notes of this.

SO thank you v. much and I'm super glad you liked it! This whole thing makes me super nervous, writing about suicide and all. I need to start putting warnings on these like stat, omg.
