This is amazing! I can't wait for the next chapter! It's really quite addictive, even though the fractured way Kurt and Blaine talk to each other still makes me want to say "You should be friends! Let it happen!" Great work. :0)

I'm glad. I think I love Klaine so much because they were such good friends first. I think this fic will run quite parallel to that idea as they get their crazy fractured mess sorted out.

Thank you so much for commenting!

I usually control this, but lately it seems authors actually appreciate it when I don't, so uh. A few grammar nitpicks:

'Kurt looks perplexed, “I’m doing what's right.”' <-- Comma should be period.
'The armature itself rests on a plywood base and reaches as high as he is tall. It’s a spine of reaching beams and bolted vertebra' <-- Plural of "vertebra" is "vertebrae."
'It takes some maneuvering to wrangle the mold off of him, even with the jelly, he feels a slight tug on the fine pigment-less hair on his shoulders and the nape of his neck.' <-- First comma should be a semi-colon... or you could add "and."
'He doesn’t feel brave, even though he’s in the body of a man now, he feels like he’s back in high school:' <-- Another run-on sentence, but this time either comma could be changed into a semi-colon or a period

Oh wow! Thanks for the typos. I'm so embarrassed. Thank you so much for pointing them out. <3 They should be fixed now

You're welcome! I'm glad you didn't mind my bluntness. I kind of fidgeted and then decided that being less blunt would probably just sound as though I were sugarcoating and trying too hard not to hurt your feelings or something.

I have body image issues, but I don't think I would mind immortalizing the flaws in my skin. I would instead be in danger of putting it off for a time when I've gotten thinner... Anyway, plaster strips link would be nice to have on hand, but I have very little money - I should try to find some sort of community art program or just get crafty on my own or something. I have this crazy dream of putting together a realistic, human-sized pair of wings from found feathers. Crazy dream makes no sense, I have not the least idea how to go about it, and yet I'm kind of attached to it. At any rate, your self-indulgent art love is awesome!

"Just happened" or you know, were strong armed into it by the author ;)Yeah, I kind of figured that, but it didn't feel forced at all - as you interpreted for me, it seemed

If this makes no sense, I apologize. I had two martinis too many with dinner.

I'd rather be corrected and fix the problem than let something hang out in the ether for months, while people think I'm an incompetent dweeb brain. ;) You were just fine.

Once you get done with your Kurt notes, could you PM them to me?

Wrote this big review and LJ crashed and didn't post it. Crap! Love this 'verse and story. My heart really goes out to Blaine in this story. Trying to make it in a big city when you've been through an awful past and work in a job that, even though you excel at it, messes with your self-esteem. And Kurt, although doing well, is leading a very lonely existence. My hope is that these two will develop a strong bond of friendship and eventually more by sharing their past experiences. I am hoping that Blaine will now open up to Kurt and show him why he needs the money so bad...for the center. And Kurt should meet Beiste also. She is all kinds of awesome. Sorry this review is short but my long one got eaten by LJ.

I love this fic so damn much. Blaine is so perfect. He's hurt but still just as open and sweet as he is on the show. I just want to smish him (and buy a dance from him, Jesus.) I can't wait for more!
