As much as I like the idea of Puck and Rachel together, that just about broke my heart.. Still like it, though! :)

[nicalyse]

Thank you! I like all these P/R shippers who feel for Mike Chang. ;)

And then things go south with Puck and Mike tells her all the reasons she should be with him and she kisses him and they smile. The end.

Okay, but seriously. I really do love how self-aware Mike is. Not only in that he's in love with her, but in that if he doesn't make a move, he can't expect her to not be with other people. And I really like the subtle friendship between him and Rachel, too, how he's just kind of there for her and knows what she needs without it being some big thing. And a friend is someone who calls your ex out on being a shithead, so there's that, too.

Poor guy, with his spilled coffee and his missed chances...

Sequel!

I just want to hug Mike Chang in this, honestly. Lots of hugs.

But really. Sequel.

Heart achingly beautiful. Mike Chang is just awesome and I love the Rachel/Blaine/Mike threesome soooooo much!

[nicalyse]

Mike Chang is awesome! And yes, the three of them as friends was a lot of fun to write, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I really liked this. It was so good how he was ever present and I'm waiting for the happy ending where he finally tells her and I get Puck and Rachel instead -which I usually love. But I feel bad for Mike, I love that he chooses to be her friend if he can't be more. He is totally her steady rock in her uncertain world, and I like that he's realistic in that he can't blame her for not seeing what he doesn't say. I would totally love to see this from like Puck or Rachel's standpoint(mostly cause I want to know if Puck is using her to get settled or really trying to figure out if there's something between them and whether he sees what Blaine does).

I just wanted to let you know that you've just inspired the hell out of me. A sequel to this has already been requested, and I'm already planning out a third story to end the series. This third story may very well be narrated by Blaine all thanks to you.

So seriously, thank you.

(And yes, I'm usually more of the happy ending type of writer, but I liked the angst here. I'm glad you enjoyed it!)

[cameomum]

YAY! That makes me super excited. Blaine's voice would be awesome to hear.I can't wait to see where you take this. Glad I could help!

[nicalyse]

To actually reply to your comment now! I ship Puck/Rachel a lot, so it's kind of weird to be rooting for someone else in a fic! The other is that while I'm not planning to write any of this from Puck's POV, I can just tell you that he isn't using Rachel. I think he has the same sort of "what if" feelings about Rachel that she has about him.

Thanks for commenting, hon, and for the inspiration!

I'm really sad. I want Mike Chang to have everything he wants all the time. I also maybe sort of want to kick Rachel in the chest and I've never wanted to do that. My poor, bb.

This was excellent!

[nicalyse]

Thanks, sweets!

I think this qualifies for part of the CHANGOLUTION, yes?

[rockinrye]

CHANGOLUTION.
