I also wanted to highlight that I could picture this line so well, and it looked amazing:
"I'm sorry," Kurt interrupted, rudely waving his fingers in front of Puck's face, "I'm not listening, actually. I can't hear you over the orgasm I'm having right now."

I feel extremely flattered that you like this fic and took the time to comment on it, thank you! m(_ _)m
Oh man, it felt like I was waiting so long for this to continue, but I didn't want to harass you about if you were continuing it.
I know, I know, I'm so slow it kills me. TT0TT But this chapter has really been a huge piece of work - you'll see, part 2 is... massive. It took me forever to finish it. Usually I don't even write so much in French (and it's my mother language too!), and I'm having lots of difficulties with my English... okay, enough whining. Fortunately all the plot is already thoroughly planned in my head (and in the numerous notebooks I used up for this fic XD ), so I will definitely continue this, don't worry -- I just don't know how much time it will take, but I'll try as much as I can not to let whole *months* go between the updates, sorry about that ^^;;;
Puck is so mature, and I'm so happy now that Kurt is realizing that he shouldn't keep holding on to the wrongs of high school. Thank you for ( ... )

Initially, I thought: "Oh, how terribly harlequin"--the plot reminded me a bit of that Jeniffer Lopez movie. I know, I'm incorrigible. But since I'm such a big foodie and I absolutely love French cuisine, I decided to give it a try. So yes, more or less, the driving force was Puck's intriguing career.
Once again, absolutely brilliant and riveting. I feel like I'm watching a movie. I love how you speckle the narrative with a few jargons. Be wary however, some parts might be a tad bit too technical.
My only complaint? Prince Charming is now in clay-motion/3D in my head. So very strange. He's such a creeper too.
Also, icon twins!

Thank you! Such compliments coming from a writer such as you, you have no idea how proud and happy that makes me feel -- well, and ridiculous too, for blushing so hard in front of a computer screen)
Initially, I thought: "Oh, how terribly harlequin"--the plot reminded me a bit of that Jeniffer Lopez movie. I plead guilty, you honor: I'm a HUGE sucker for that kind of harlequin story. Throw in Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant or Drew Barrymore or Owen Wilson (you know, those actors who have faces that make you feel they've always been your best friends?) and then I'd be all over it in a blink. *shakes head at self ( ... )

We are plot soul-mates. I will admit to "adapting" so much chick-flick plots--they are my guilty pleasure and I'm completely unabashed admitting to liking it.
h, no, are they? Ack. I'm way too caught in the food porn sometimes, I don't even realize. My number one worry with this fic is whether or not there's enough food in it.
Definitely enough food. Mid-way through chapter 2, I went down to the cafeteria to get myself a bagel. :\ I can see the tension though so you didn't miss out on the romance angle.
Just a little break down on food technology, por favor. I mean, I know most of it--like I said, Top Chef + Iron Chef + Food blogs = story of 1/2 my life, but some of them were a tad bit too technical for me to grasp. <3 On the upside, it made me think that "food tech" and cuisines are definitely your forte--either that or you researched so well into it. ;)
Can't wait for the next chapter! :)

Puck really does know how to make an exit. The wanker. And guh, those scones really do sound incredible. Reading things like this make me feel a little guilty for not even owning an oven.
Also, this whole paragraph:
Sorry, Kurt. I've taken enough shit from life as it is already. It's too bad you didn't get to have your role in it -- I'm sure that would have made a lot of stuff easier for you, but I'm way past that revenge crap and your little preschool games. Yeah, I'm sorry, I was an asshole, and I hurt you bad. But you, my friend, need to move on, now.
Love it. It's really good to see Puck being the mature one.
(And I totally pictured Kurt and Aurelien in Sue Sylvester tracksuits. With matching Sue hairstyles.)

I'll talk about them at length in the second amuse-bouche, because those scones are real, I've tasted them, and Kurt's reaction is actually mine. A friend was talking to me when I was taking my first bite, and I swear I couldn't physically hear her anymore, so I just had to tell her to stop, haaahahaha.

I laughed out loud when I read this, and when I came back to post my reply I had that hysterical laugh and scared Bluebell the cat I'm supposed to take care of. The image it conjures is simply irresistible, oh god I love it *cries laughing*
Thank you for this comment sweetie! <3
