Though we lingered oft' in the garden - part five (2/2)

“We don’t talk about it after. I know you, Rach, you’re gonna wanna have like, a post-mortem or some shit so that you can-” here he raises his hands to make air-quotes and widens his eyes just so, “‘glean as much from the experience as possible’, and I’m not doing that. You wanna do this, I’ll do it, but you take from it what you will. Got it?”

Wonderful!I loved the back story with the very first kiss. We already know that they are so close, but the first kiss... that was the icing on the cake. I was worried that Noah was going to be to stand offish with Rachel after avoiding her, but come to find out... he's fighting his feelings, thinks she's hot. Interesting!!! He's so worried about losing his friend, she sees that he could gain so much more! Amazing updates!! I absolutely adored them!!

:D Thanks, I'm happy you think so. I think the thing of it for me is that, he's only just kind of realised that she is attractive, even objectively, and his natural instincts tend towards attractive girl=possibility of sex, and he's fighting his instincts here because he legitimately cares about her, and he's not quite in a place yet where he sees sex and feelings as part of the same story.

Thank you for commenting, I'm so happy you're liking where this is going.

Oh, poor Rachel. My heart breaks for her.

You have such an amazing way with words. I can't wait for more.

Oh her poor heart, yes, I feel kind of bad really, but it has to be done. Thank you for reading and commenting :) I hope you keep reading!

I'm torn between being completely heart broken for Rachel, and completely falling in love with their first kiss.. Loved this! Can't wait for more!

Ha, I'm glad you enjoyed it, it took me ages to write that scene to a point where I didn't think it was overly cliched or romantic, I wanted it to be a very specific kind of sweet, and it took me a looooong time to get it there, so I'm very happy that you enjoyed it as well :)

Thanks for the comment :D More soon hopefully

(Also, look, I actually commented after the right part this time lol)

I read the first two chapters of this story a while ago, but then some how lost track of it after that, so I've now caught up in one big shot. I really love this story and the world you've created here. I love Puck/Rachel AUs.

Poor Rachel and poor Puck. Puck hasn't had the time that Rachel's had to reconsider their relationship because it has hit him all of the sudden and he doesn't completely understand it. Then there is poor Rachel and her broken heart. Great job.

[howlinchickhowl]

I'm glad you've found your way back, and that you enjoyed what you found :) I love P/R AUs as well, more than any other AUs I think, they manage to fit all kinds of situations, I'm just happy to be able to contribute a little, there's so much amazing stuff out there.

Poor Puck indeed, what gets me about it is that he's really trying to be the good guy here, the good friend as opposed to the sex shark, and I think it's quite difficult for him to distinguish between the love he bears her as a chilhood friend, the love he's starting to feel for her as an adult, and the general attraction he's experiencing because, let's face it, Rachel's hot. I find that confusion in him really interesting and I'm going to explore it a little more in the next chapter or so.

Rachel's heart will recover eventually, I wouldn't let her keep suffering, I like her too much.

Thank you for reading and commenting :D
