Wow! I'm glad that didn't end as depressingly as it started. But, I'm sensing a little bit of foreboding.

I hope R & Q's relationship survives this. After all this work, I would hate to see them settle into even just being friends. You're the author, but that's just my opinion.

Wow, this chapter just blew me away. The confrontation was so fraught with tension and portrayed incredibly well.

Also, I have to admit, when I first read the author's note, I was afraid that some kind of cheating or betrayal was going to happen to divide Rachel and Quinn, but luckily that didn't happen. Still, I feel so bad for Quinn because she's gone through so much shit this past year. That girl deserves all the happiness she can get after all this trauma.

But in regards to your story, I'm sad to hear it's almost ending, but I guess all good things must come to an end.

I mean, okay, I didn't really mean to go all Joss Whedon on her life, but it just.. happened, I guess

Ah, I understand how the story can sometimes take on a life of its own and all you can do is just go with it. And really, all the obstacles Quinn has faced has allowed her character to grow in leaps and bounds. But it will totally kill my soul if Rachel and Quinn get a classic Joss Whedon ending. It breaks my heart just thinking about Willow and Tara or Wash and Zoe. For realsies.

Btw, that's so fascinating to hear that you never meant for them to get together in the beginning. I know that as I was reading your story, I kept wondering "will they or won't they?" all the time. And then they did and life was sunshine and rainbows. Also, angels.

But I am highly anticipating your next chapter. I can't say enough how beautifully written this story is. Even though my heart just aches for Quinn sometimes, that's part of what makes the story so damn good because we're right there with the characters and matching them feeling for feeling.

Joss Whedon has trampled all over my emotions too many times over the years. Willow and Tara, Wash and Zoe, Giles and Jenny, Wesley/Fred/Gunn (I still haven't recovered from him whacking Fred), Dr. Horrible and Penny... I love pretty much everything he does, but he's balls-all fantastic at making me hate him, too.

I'm fairly certain that Quinn won't get shot like Tara. Or Rachel stabbed by the giant spike thingie like Wash. Or, y'know, infected by some half-evil ancient god. Not 100% positive, but pretty gosh darn close.

I'm relatively happy with how things have played out with them together, but I'll be honest-- I really like the idea of them being friends, not least because I really like the idea of Quinn sorting her shit out with Puck. Because frankly, I adore Puck and his sexbomb ways, and I really love them together. I'm also really into Finn and Quinn together, because they have this fantastic balance (he's so stupid, it's adorable. You don't even know how much I love his stupidity). But the Quinn and Rachel romance

Awesome updates. Love your writing more and more, if it were possible, and the patient craft that you put into developing your characters and scenes. Thank you!

(Also - happy 6 month anniversary to this story! Dare I say, "here's to another 6 months!"?)
