'K, I'm tired and it's past my bedtime, but I had to stary up to read a Will/Finn chapter! But, sorry, my comments are going to be sucky.
I liked: "It’s the reason he’s been letting Finn make all the decisions in their relationship so far..." Hmmm, has he? Will really does show so uch restraint. Imagine him wanting Finn for so long and being too afraid to ever do anything about it. And suddenly, here is Finn kissing him one day... and talking about moving in the next.

Shannon is awesome and I can only imagine she will be the one support Will will have at school regarding Finn.

In Will's defense, it's not like he's exactly had a history of healthy romantic relationships. And Finn's young and stupid and doesn't know what he's doing, so it's all very confusing. Plus, I'm all about the sort of obsessive, moving-way-too-quickly relationships. It's part of my charm ;)

First of all: Shannon Bieste. I adore that character and Dot seems like such a sweetheart, so I'm glad she's getting a mention. Of all the people in his life, I can see Will being the most concerned with what she thinks of him. Are you thinking of writing the faculty's reactions? B/c I love the Will/Shannon friendship and I'm sure Sue's reaction would be spectacular.

"He likes the idea of tying their lives so closely together that it will be that much harder for Finn to untie them, when the time comes." That broke my heart a little bit. Sometimes I want to slap Will. And then reassure him of Finn's love while we cuddle on the couch and watch Blade Runner:) Great chapter!

Shannon Beiste is the love of my life, so I would be a failure as a stalker sycophant fic writer if I didn't mention her. Plus, I love my Will/Shannon BFF OTP like burning, so I'm interested in her (no doubt pragmatic) reaction to Will's new relationship.

Plus, if anybody can knock some sense into him, it's her. Because he is an idiot. But he'd totally watch Blade Runner with you, because that's a classic too ;)

Ohhhhhhh - I LOVE ROMANCE WHEN IT'S IN THE FORM OF REAL LIFE JUST UNFOLDING!!! This was just - aaaaahhhhhhhhh. Plus what comment no. 2 said. Yeah! Love to hear the faculty reactions. Sue would probably be epic :D
And I also love Shannon and think that her reaction, while ultimately supportive, might have that frisson of "but I used to coach this kid". Ooh - just had a thought: what if Will/ Finn didn't announce it, just shacked up, shared a bedroom, and carried on living life like normal, but together now, and just let people notice and work it out for themselves. Let Will's mom work it out during Sunday lunch on her way to her seventh glass of wine and carping about Will's failure to provide Grandkids. I dunno. Luckily, I don't have to - you're the genius writer. In you I trust. :-)
50? Must nearly be halfway there.... Seriously welldone that woman! *offers congratulatory pitcher of Martinis*

Then you have come to the right place, my friend. I am all about the quiet, everyday romance.

Confession: I'm a little terrified of writing Sue. I've never really tried it, and I don't know how it's going to go if/when I do, but I do have a plan. (Sort of.) And I think Shannon's the kind of friend who, like you said, would be supportive of Will's choices while rolling her eyes the entire time. Because let's face it, her BFF is kind of a dumbass.

I will probably be clinging to the pitcher of martinis and sobbing openly at some point during this exercise, so I thank you.

[david_of_oz]

It is only common sense to be terrified of writing Sue. Just go with the crazy, I always say. Although it is interesting that in canon she is basically a mad evil psycho!bitch from hell, but ALSO does "supportive of gay rights" type things, so THAT combination, mixed in with her never-ending obsession with ending Will and his hair product addiction yet him now coming out and yet also shagging an ex-student (not that there's anything wrong with that - especially at this many years remove), might just prove to be more cognitive dissonance than she can handle...

OMG, I'm so sorry for that last sentence of 900 clauses.

In moments of extreme need, I can recommend obtaining a long piece of plastic tubing, (drinking-straw diameter) and then laying down on one's bed, placing the pitcher on the floor, and drinking through the tube. Important to have the pitcher lower than head height: otherwise one risks drowning in an unfortunate alcoholic syphoning accident. SO not glamourous.

Well: venture bravely young Jedi.

You are very wise

I am staring at my shaker right now wondering if 4 o'clock on a Sunday is too early to make cocktails!

This story makes me wish the holidays were back again. I love fluffy holiday fics too much!

and does this mean we're going to be getting Shannon in this story? :D

[carolinecrane]

I'm a big fan of holiday fluff myself, though that is probably obvious. :) And I think Shannon will probably turn up at some point, yes.

[carolinecrane]

I think I have to write Beiste's reaction now. Actually I have plans for WMHS, but it'll take me awhile to get there. I'm glad you enjoyed the domestic fluff in the meantime! I do enjoy writing it, so it's nice to have people to share it with.
