The idea of Kurt's trauma serving as a catalyst to expose some painful suppressed issues between Finn and Puck--while still being focused on and respected as HIS trauma--is so fascinating, and done so well here. I don't want to be the kind of person who is all "YOU SHOULD WRITE THIS" but it's definitely an idea that I think you or anyone could build a longer and very good story around. Kurt is like this walking symbol of the consequences of who they were so recently, and in many ways neither of them has moved past or dealt with that behavior--and of course ( ... )

You are just full-time committed to making all my dreams come true, aren't you? IDEAL PSYCHIC AUDIENCE FTW, is all.
Also, you really don't have to worry about seeming request-y with me; I am kind of a plot-bunny whore. Plus that sounds like intense fun - for me, less so for the characters - to keep the ball rolling that way, keep exploring what they've done to Kurt and where they are with him now... and Artie, too, since Puck has apparently PUSHED HIM DOWN STAIRS and now they're bffs... Shit I am totally saving this in my Things to Attempt to Write file.

That aside, though, thank you so, so much for this lovely comment! I'm happy you liked it, especially the characterization and writing, which natch are what worry me most. Thanks so much for taking the time!

This is like one of the funniest, greatest descriptions of Finn I have ever read. :P Hilarious.

Karofsky's reaction to seeing Kurt fresh out the elevator was really something, too. Kinda scary and creepy and sad all at the same time. To quote Finn, "why is it so impossible for you to believe someone could be with Kurt for two seconds without jumping his bones?” Just...wow.
Great job!
