I almost didn't read this fic, because I've seen a lot of fic about BIOTA and none of them have QUITE sat right with me.

But I am so glad that I took the chance. Because this fic? Is absolutely everything I always wanted in a BIOTA fic and never before got!

I read your notes/meta, too, and I admire your attention to detail! I think the care you put into this fic and the focus you had on making things sit right (both in the universe and with the characters) is what has really settled this into my mind as missing scene headcanon.

Also, I very much look forward to your take on Sexy, if and when you get round to it!

Headcanon! Headcanon! I've invaded someone's headcanon! This is awesome!

If I didn't have a cat sitting on me, I would dance.

I'm a little overwhelmed that it's everything you ever wanted in a BIOTA fic, but yay!

Sexy will happen, or my beta will stop pretty-sobbing at my Klaine and instead start to ugly-sob, and I can't have that. :)

I don't have a cat sat on me, so I am perfectly free to dance at Sexy epic-meta-fic happenings!

I actually liked BIOTA (which is a bit of an unpopular opinion regarding this episode!) but my main issue with it was that I could totally see that Kurt and Blaine could get from point A to B to C in the episode but then they never actually showed it. Most fic regarding this episode focuses on the aftermath of the episode instead of tackling what happened during. But you've filled in those gaps and you've showed how those journeys to each point could have gone. And it totally gels with every opinion I have of the characters, so headcanon TOTALLY accepted!

Um, don't tell anyone, but BIOTA is actually one of my favorite episodes ever. *sheepish grin* Eric Stoltz is a really good director.

I thought it was hilarious! And I have a huge capacity for accepting authorial intent, so I wasn't as impacted as many others. It's actually the last episode I saw before joining fandom, too.

Even more so, it's the episode that actually turned Kurt and Blaine into my OTP to rule all OTPs. Because before BIOTA I was still a little wary of Glee taking a sharp turn and keeping them friends rather than getting them together. But after the epic ship tease of Blaine waking up in Kurt's bed I realised that, yeap, they were totally going to end up together. Because there was no way that the show was going to tease in that manner without following through!

So, yeah, BIOTA holds a special place in my heart!
