I've never much cared for Jesse, but how is it that even while I want to smack him hard upside the head (for Rachel among other things), and 83% of his inner monologue is completely self-absorbed, you make me unable to hate him here and I sort of maybe a little ship Kurt/Jesse too. Well, mostly Kurt/someone who will keep hugging him until Burt wakes up, but even though I don't want Jesse to do anything more because Kurt's really vulnerable right now, I kind of love that he is being loving and supportive even if it's sort of in his own way. Poor, poor Kurt :(

"and 83% of his inner monologue is completely self-absorbed"

Right on the head--I was shaking my head at Jesse while I was writing, because yes, cupcake, you're very interesting and deep as the mountain snow, but at some point you need to tell us what's going on in the story. Any day now. Please. ;)

Kurt/Hugs is my number one ship, so I'm with you there <3

NO D: D: D:

JESSE. WHY. HORRIBLE TIMING.

YOUR CLIFFHANGERS CONTINUE TO BE CRUEL. D:

(and re: your reply to my comment on the previous chapter: I've kind of banned myself from tumblr because I waste spend too much time (i.e. hours upon hours on end) there. LJ only takes up about and hour or two, which is an acceptable break, I think :P And yeah, I was going to say something about nothing being worse than studying for IB exams, but I couldn't bring myself to because oh my god this chapter. Poor Kurt :( Things will get better eventually though, right? Right? D:)

THE CLIFFHANGERS SHALL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES D: or something like that.

I remember IB exams. I remember IB and AP exams happening at the same time, and how I didn't actually go to class for two weeks (I ate so much candy; it's a miracle i didn't die of sugar poisoning). I hope you have the best playlist ever...

NOOOOO SURELY YOU DON'T WANT TO SUBJECT AN ALREADY SUFFERING IB STUDENT TO EMOTIONAL TRAUMA???

Oh man, sometimes I forget to eat because I'm studying. And then my mom barges into my room all "YOU HAVE TO EAT OR YOU WILL PASS OUT AT SCHOOL AND BE LESS EFFECTIVE AT STUDYING". Which is true, and I love eating, but I can't be bothered to drag myself downstairs D: IB PROMOTES UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLES.

(CAS? What CAS? Apparently most people fake those anyways l o l)

Can I just say thank you, not just for writing this, but for writing it exactly when you did? Because while most of the response for this chapter has been along the lines of 'No stop why fix it fix it!!', I got a couple of above-and-beyond nasty messages on ffnet and was a little shaken up.

And then, right before I turned off my computer, I saw your comment about your howl being heard on the moon, and I laughed my *ass* off. And I'm still laughing right now as I'm typing, which is why this comment is taking me so long to write.

You win all the comedic bowling trophies :D :D :D

Thank you :) And oh man, I have this critically important speech written for the next chapter, and I have no idea what notebook it's in anymore--my Roommate found me leafing through pages before and wanted to know what the hell I was doing, and I'm like "I keep promising the internet that I'd make the next thing happen!!"

;)

My HEART. What do you DO to me?!?!? Omg, CANNOT HANDLE IT. This is so amazing. It hurts so much, and I echo everyone in saying Jesse is SUCH an ass, but I still can't help but like him for how much he obviously cares about Kurt in his own Jesse sort of way.

HOLY SHIT, BLAINE. YOU NEED TO GET BACK IN THERE BUDDY. SHIT. This is going to ruin everything; Blaine's ALREADY sensitive about Jesse, and of course, even though Blaine broke up with Kurt, it wasn't the permanent sort of break up, even though Kurt feels like it is while he's vulnerable. So Blaine will totally not understand why Kurt would get with Jesse and GAH. The twists and turns in this are so good. And the ANGST. Holy crap. The intricacies of how the characters interact and the events that lead them there is amazing. You know just when to crank it up and when to let it cool down. You are a genius.

I have to tell you, when I read the beginning of that second paragraph, the first thing that popped into my head was a mental image of Blaine in his boxing clothes with you standing behind him, rubbing his shoulders and trying to coach him back into the ring so that he could punch the crap out of Jesse (which is an image I think a lot of people would be willing to get behind...)

And I blush, thank you ;D
