So no lie. I may have teared up a little bit. Because this? This is a truly great story. Finn's speech, the entire speech, was amazing and sweet and made me cheer for him. Because this is a real way, a very possible way for them to start.

And I love Will for being messed up and a music nerd and an evil genuis. But it was just so sweet and so perfect. Every part was necessary and nervous. Finn's headspace is just captured so clearly. And I'm gushing but I just love this so much.

I'm so, so, so glad that it not only all rang true but that everything felt necessary. I was terrified that I'd painted them both into such an angsty, messed up, convinced they have no hope corner that I'd never be able to get them together.

I wanted it to feel really earned when they finally made the decision to just go for it and reach out for that chance at happiness and it means a lot that you think I managed it.

I totally get it. Its like you worried that youe backing them into this inescapable corner and then when that little narrow of light presents itself, You jump on it.

Totally get it. And I love characters who are a little messed up. It makes them more human in the end to a reader. Plus they're so much fun to play with. Who wants a well adjusted character anyway?

This was amazing, but I'm late for work! I'll be back in numerous hours to flail at you.

Back from work, and brain dead, so if this stops making sense at any point I'm really sorry ( ... )

No lie, I am ridiculously proud of how Finn's speech came out as I agonized over it. Because I wanted it to be a slightly more mature and insightful Finn who really had given this all a lot of thought and doesn't idealize the complications of a potential relationship, but he still had to be Finn, you know? Sweet, bumbling, big hearted, kind of insecure Finn ( ... )

Oh, wow. This was really amazing. It felt really realistic, and as much as I love all of the angst earlier in this series I'm a sucker for a hopeful story too. Really, it was fantastic :)

You spelt onomatopoeia wrong, I think.

Gah, I'm so greedy. I mean, they ACTUALLY GOT TOGETHER which I wasn't sure was actually going to happen, and they actually came to an understanding and didn't just have guilty sex or something and then try and work stuff out later. And even though I know that this is probably right and it's gonna be amazing and fluffy, a part of me is still like YOU'RE BOTH HARD, WHY AREN'T YOU FUCKING FOR MY ENTERTAINMENT?

Anyway, a pie making Will's nose bleed is kind of genius. So was his plan to get funding for the club. Your plots are always amazing, and things always work out in an unexpected but awesome way. Finn's big speech was reaaally good, too. It kind of covered everything you could possibly think of. o.o;; So yeah.

*looks forward to tentative coupley-ness*

Hey, if I don't get the red line of you spelled that wrong, ya dumbass, I can't be sure. According to Word it was correct (maybe my laptop is as bad as I am?)

Sorry for the no sex, but come on you know if they did it now it'd end in so much angst and heartache and badness---and I'm not sure if I'm trying to talk you out of it, or me into it with that line of argument...

Glad you enjoyed Will's assault via baked goods. I have no idea where the idea came from and when I first thought of it, I never would have guessed that such a small idea would turn into this almost 8,000 word monster.

But Finn just started talking and he wouldn't stop.

I remember drilling the spelling of it into my head at one point, because it has like 3948234 vowels at the end of it. Maybe there's an americanised spelling I don't know about that Word prefers, idk.

Yeah, I totally get it. It's more responsible and realistic than the usual impulsive guilty fuck, and hopefully it works out better in the long run too.

xD The thing is, the more I think about it, getting hit by an actual pie would really hurt. There's a lot of pastry in there, and I bet Sue's pretty strong, so yeah. I think usually people just use whipped cream on a paper plate for that kind of thing, so you get the mess but not much force. Not that I've ever thrown food at people before, because I'm not childish like that. >.>

If small idea = longer fic, I need to start writing shorter prompts/comments. :P Or just make Finn talk and don't let anyone interrupt him.

So. Basically what the other winners before me said xD
awesome story, soooo cute!
my fav line: If he’d had a bit longer to prepare, he’d probably be able to throw together a nice PowerPoint presentation. With graphs. eben though it's not cute or angsty, like the rest xD but i hat do laugh SO hard on this line xD genius!
will/finn are really cute together. *siigh* i'm out of words - again.
btw - love the idea of Will leaning on Finn - you had probably guessed already, becaue my icon kinda gives it away ;D
