I AM SO PROUD OF YOU, BB!

Everything about this managed to be completely epic. Jesse was 100% in character (and there's nothing I love like snide-heartless-bastard Jesse, omg), the plot was original and compelling, and the sex scene was delicious. I'm not a Kurt-slash fan AT ALL, and this is one of the only nc-17 stories in that category that I have loved so much.

I also love your spare, evocative, gorgeous way with words. You don't waste any words on fluff, and your dialogue is enough to completely carry the story when it needs to. You are so talented. ♥

Your recipient is lucky to have this, and the exchange was lucky to have you. Esra and I know why.

Oh, thank you so much. You are so sweet and thank you for everything. It's such a compliment coming from you. And I'm glad the sex scene turned out fine, in your option.

omg. OMG. O.M.G.

*FFFFFFLLLLLLAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIILLLLL*

This is so perfect. I don't know if I can write a coherent review right now, so I'm not going to bother trying. Stream of consciousness, that's how I roll when I get all ♥_♥

Thank you, thank you, thank you. My absolute favorite kind of fic is something quiet and introspective, with angst that's not over the top, so this is like my birthday and Christmas rolled into one! I don't know how you did it, but you wrote me something that I didn't even know I wanted in exactly the style I love, even though it doesn't show in any of my prompts. Bravo!

Jesse and Kurt are spot on. I love the slow progression of their relationship, with Jesse resisting all the way, and how Kurt won his heart without trying too hard, just by being there.

There is something else about Kurt that is unreadable. Sometimes he'll look at Kurt, and Kurt will look at him, and it's like looking into his own steadfast gaze; other times Kurt will be so transparently sad or happy or angry that Jesse almost feels

Thank god you liked it, I was worried. ♥ I don't write smut much so that scene was a challenge for me, but a welcome one! I'm so glad I was able to write it, and am sorry I took the easy way out by going with your first and most flexible prompt, haha.

Anyway, I'm glad it worked for you, and your enthusiasm makes me happy. ♥

This is completely wonderful. Your style of writing works really well for this piece and the emotions behind it.

Uncertainty: it's such a new and strange feeling that at first, he almost mistakes it for something else entirely.

I love this line. I love the idea of Jesse spending so long pretending that he doesn't really know what's real anymore. It's my favorite interpretation of his character and I think you nailed it. ♥

As it happens, Jesse St. James is not nearly as cool as he thinks he is. But he's learning to be happier now too. Oh, wow. Another completely lovely line. I adore the emotion it captures and I adore that you did it in such a stark manner.

Absolutely lovely. ♥

A comment from you, sweet. ♥

Thank you so much. "Uncertainty: ..." is one of my favorite lines too, ngl. I'm glad you read and liked it!

I really liked the whole feel of this fic, anon. NGL, Jesse's bicurious tendencies were always at the forefront of my mind and the idea of him hooking up with Kurt eventually (since I kinda feel like he's the male version of Rachel) was awesome. I really loved that you didn't feel the need to rush straight into big declarations. Sex doesn't always equal love and it was nice that you had them care about each other first before dipping into the sexual aspect. I also loved that you left us with a maybe ending. Like maybe things will work out and they'll get that happily ever after, but maybe not. They're just going to live every moment together and be happy with what they've got.

Good job.

I love everything you write to pieces. Jesse/Kurt really fits your style, too, and the dynamic you gave them was lovely, and felt so in-character. <33 The progression, and the heartaching way you write, and Jesse, god. This was all so great.
