...wow...and to think I couldn't hate Jesse more already....I think I just did. Poor Kurt...OHH!! It'd be HILARIOUS if Kurt got sent over to spy on Dalton...and then got caught immediately like he does in the series!!! =DDD But of course Blaine and the other Warblers don't really do anything about it, and when Jesse bullies Kurt out of his house, Kurt can escape to Dalton where Blaine is and all the Klaine smexyness can happen~ =DDDDD yeah yeah yeah????? =DDDDD that'd be AWESOME if that could happen...lol

Oh my god, this whole thing is amazing so far, but the part about Jesse getting off to doing spiteful things to people he hates KILLED ME. I was like, oh my god Jesse, what are you. That's not right. It's freaking genius, but it's not right.

OH! I am so sorry I never responded! Thank you so much for commenting on this. Jesse is a special kind of ass, isn't he?

I really enjoyed the attention to small details you included in this chapter pertaining to Kurt's profession! The thickness of the wax thread and the large leather needles, the small repairwork and how Kurt would be talented at it -- it all added to the depth of the chapter in such a wonderful way. Well done you for doing such in=depth research for this!!

(Weird and random thing that occurred to me as I was reading: with Finn known as John Finnegan, my mind immediately went IRISH IRISH IRISH I SHOULD RESEARCH THE SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF BEING IRISH IN ENGLAND IN THE 15th CENTURY. You are inspiring me to think, bb!)

And oh, poor bb Kurt. :( Such a late bloomer. And now he's so confused and twisted up... at least Finn in this verse is nice to him right from the beginning. And Finn is with Quinn! On another note, OMG JESSE I AM SO SCARED D:. Personal vendetta toward Kurt for the lose, omg.

Excellent chapter, bb!

*squealing*

I LOVE that we're nerding out together over this, I really do. I'm rubbish with my own country's history but England? I could research for hours, and my idle hobby is paying off. I maybe make an obnoxious fistpump whenever someone notices things.

*innocent look*

Finn's another incident of history bending! But in looking at names around that time and spotting things like Carrickfergus and Fitzwilliam, I was thinking I was probably safe. The Tudor takeover didn't happen till far after this, and I know there were holdings there mostly used as getaway destinations. It was good because I was all, I can't call Finn by his NAME, what the heck? That was thinking on my feet, that was. Or my butt, as it were.

And as you know by now, it is a VERY GOOD IDEA to be scared of Jesse. :D

Evil Jesse is awesome. Kurt finding Finn attractive brilliant!

This is being set up so beautifully I'm loving it
