Again you brighten my day with this little ray of sunshine. I don't know whether I want the guy at the end to be Puck or Mike, but I love the ambiguous nature of it. The inner fan of Puckleberry squees at the possibility of it being the perfect Puckleberry ending, but you write Mike and Rachel so well and Mike Chang is awesome, period. I should be writing the last 4000 words of my masters thesis, as it's due tomorrow, but I am just so happy to see you've written something else.

I can't wait to read the rest in the series!

I actually just really like reading everyone's guesses! It's fun for me!

Thanks for commenting, doll!

I think that, in all honesty, Rachel Berry would be at least the slightest bit flattered by someone stalking her. Especially when it's someone she knows and they're not really stalking her. She likes attention. That's the whole point of this.

I'm totally on board with Rachel cutting things off with Jesse because she didn't want to be his arm candy, or his number two, or however you want to put it. And good on her, her attention-loving self, for recognizing that she'd never be able to give him what he wanted from her. It's better for both of them in the long run.

I still can't 'decide' who it is at the end. It's probably weird that I'm thinking Matt Rutherford, but maybe not since I love him and ship Rachel/Anyone who makes her happy. Or maybe Sam? Mike? :P I love a little mystery.

And it really doesn't matter who it was, at the end, just that someone admits to always having wanted her.

Of course she's flattered, and, like you said, it's Jesse. It's attention, not some creeper waiting for her to come out of her apartment every morning.

I just love the "mystery man." It's more fun not to be sure who it is than it is to make the decision. ♥
