I love this story so much. The idea is right up my alley of topics and tropes that I enjoy reading about. I've never been able to find another story like this in the Glee fandom that went beyond the 1st chapter and you've done such a great job with it and fleshing it out. The detailed way in which you've captured the mental and physical impact of the curse on Blaine and Kurt feels really realistic. They are going through so much pain and hardship. I have to say, Kurt has quite the self-restraint. If I were in his place, I would be contemplating much more serious bodily harm to Sebastian than a punch to the face. This is seriously f***ed up. Blaine almost feels like a broken record at this point. For so many chapters now it's kept coming back to "But I've already been in this relationship for two years". And in other stories I might say that it feels repetitive, but I feel like it really works here because the curse is keeping him in this repetitive loop of how he's supposed to think and feel that Blaine is hard pressed to

Wow, thank you so much! That is such a lovely and thoughtful comment, I don't even know what to say.

It's funny, you mention two points I keep coming back to while writing. For one Blaine's repetitive thoughts - everytime I read over a chapter again I want to shake him because he keeps running in circles. But it's supposed to be frustrating, so I guess it works. =D
The other thing is Kurt and how “violent” his thoughts should be - I keep oscillating between “he should want to murder Sebastian” and “oh, no, you can't write that, Kurt is such a non-violent character”. I'm never sure how the balance should be.

Anyway, thank you for reading, and I hope you'll like the rest and the conclusion of the story as well.

Right. I appreciate the trickiness there. Kurt does "take the high road", as Colfer likes to put it.
