Holy creepy! I mean, Terri and Kendra have been close to certifiably insane this whole chapter, but ending it with the former Mrs. Schuester perversely parroting Carole's wedding vow sends a shiver down my spine. Incredible thus far!

Omg I am so glad you noticed that! I'm never sure when people do, lol.

So but - I just want to thank you for all of these amazing comments, and on so many chapters - it was incredibly cool of you to take the time, and I'm rolling in puppies that you liked the story so well! You are awesome good person.

Hi! I'm just getting around to this fic--it's been on my list for a while.

You've brought the perfect touch of comedy and surreality to this to really make it feel like Glee, and I can really picture the characters--you've done a great job capturing their voices despite the more serious subject matter and needing to make Terri a little more crazy. But it really works.

I also really liked the "mundane" moments you showed us with Rachel and Kurt beforehand and how they interact with their families. Nothing too dramatic ("and she’d laughed, and everything had been fine, it was just"), in fact rather ordinary, but I really liked those "ordinary" scenes as exploring Rachel and Kurt's family dynamic (since it's a theme of the fic), especially Kurt's reflections on the newfound lack of privacy in their home, and they didn't feel like filler at all, which I can tend to skim over in other fics.

Aww, Kurt had smuggled out his mother's sweatshirt right before Terri kidnapped him.
