There's nothing like a bodyswap fic done well. And you just did it. ♥

Things I loved in particular:
-Rachel had taken her time being very, very careful of respecting Finn’s intimacy while getting ready-she trusted that he’d done the same; he was an honorable, chivalrous boy LOL. Oh Rachel.
-“To Penis Or Not To Penis: A Guide For Sexually Confused Teenagers” HEE. I love me some Emma pamphlets.

I especially love that everything's a little unresolved at the end. Unrequited feeling all around! Normally that wouldn't make me happy, but you wrapped up the ending perfectly. This entire story was great!

Thank you SO much. I was a bit worried about the ending, I felt that maybe I'd left it too open or something. But if I had tried to deal with their feelings once they'd gotten back to their own bodies, it would have turned into a monster of a fic, and it was getting too long already :/ So I'm really glad that you liked it!

so this was all kinds of amazing. Funny, but kind of poignant too. So many lines had me chuckling.

Wow, thanks! I'm happy to know it made you laugh :D

What a totally original and interesting fic. I enjoyed it very, very much, particularly Finn's view of Puck in Rachel's body. Just different, and clever, and wonderful.

Very well done. *applause*

Thank you! It was really interesting and fun to write too, even though it was hard to figure out how to use the pronouns and stuff like that at first. I hadn't seen it done before in this fandom, so when inspiration hit me, I just knew I had to do it, heh.

I'm kind of excited that you mentioned Puck, because that was one of the parts I was worried about. I hope he didn't come across as OOC, because he was kind of sweet to Rachel on that week they were together, and I think that Finn's reaction to witnessing that version of Puck would be similar to that.

This was a really sweet comment, thank you so much ♥

I think when Puck is trying to get some, he's very sweet. So besides wooing Rachel in front of the whole club, and giving up football for Glee club, he would have also been sweet to her when they were alone. I liked Finn seeing another side to him and it making him feel feelings he didn't expect. Not to mention, I'm sure Puck is very talented in the sexual arena. He could make anybody switch teams! :D

Body swap! That was totally fun to read. You totally had their voices down. And in my opinion, you need to continue it. :D

[biruuu]

Thanks! I wouldn't even know how to continue it, but I'll keep it in mind :)

Aww, that was really sweet. I'll admit, I was a little wary when I read the pairings (not a huge fan of m/m pairings), but I'm v. glad I pressed on!

Never read a body swap fic before and, judging from these other comments, yours will have spoiled me for any others. Incredibly well written, perfect mix of humour and romance, and you got the characters absolutely perfectly. Well done.

[biruuu]

Well I'm glad you pressed on too :D Not gonna lie, m/m isn't really my thing either, but this story got into my head and I just had to write it. I wasn't even sure what the pairings should be, because looking at it from Puck and Quinn's perspective, it should have been Puck/Rachel and Finn/Quinn. But since it was told from Finn and Rachel's POV, I decided to go with that.

Anyway, I'm really glad you liked it, although I'm sure there are better bodyswap fics out there. Guess you just haven't run into them yet :) Thank you so much for reading and commenting!
