So, I think you're pretty awesome for writing a fic involving fixed gear bike enthusiasts that not only DIDN'T make me want to punch anyone in the solar plexus but sort of made me understand a bit of the appeal. Stoner Brett: Unlikely Voice of Reason?

Kurt's comment early on that he felt himself shutting down in Lima but coming alive again in New York was all kinds of spot on and perfect.

Blaine and his inability to vocalize what he's feeling adequately gives me all the feels too.

AND THEN THE LAST LINE.

LOL. I know a lot of fixie enthusiasts and like to make fun of them at every possible opportunity in my real life - but when I'm nice and actually listen to them, I do kind of understand the appeal. I have no idea where Stoner Brett came from, but I'm glad he did.

Blaine and his inability to vocalize. I think everything I write about him from now on will be Blangst until he learns how. Sigh.

I love them all dearly, though.

Thanks for reading and commenting, dear! It helps to know when I where I hit the right notes.

Stoner Brett - True Jedi.

I was most struck by the part about Blaine not pushing his parents because if they said 'no' he would have to obey... really powerful.

Thanks for your comment! Yeah, Blaine and his parents - I don't even know if they don't accept him, or if he just feels that way because they have as difficult a time communicating their feelings as he sometimes does. I've always wondered about that regarding what he's said about his relationship with his father in canon - if his dad was really trying to change him, or if Blaine just perceived that because his dad wasn't as affectionate as Blaine needed him to be. I have another fic I'm working on about his relationship with his parents -- don't know when it will be done, though.

[wowbright]

Thank you! I ♥ Stoner Brett, too. I would not be sad if he were in every episode of Glee ever.

[dareu2beme]

i was gonna say that would be exceptional but... that would give the writers more chance to ruin him. like they ruin all my favorite characters

[wowbright]

HUGS, sweetie.

[wowbright]

Thanks. I hope I managed to explain fixies enough so that you figured out they were a type of bike :) Let me know if I didn't, because then I should probably work on that.

I'm really glad you enjoyed the story and that the surprise was a pleasant one. Maybe Blaine can take up smoking pot as his next hobby. ;)

Oh..my poor boys! :(

[wowbright]

I agree. I hope this didn't bring you down too much! I have faith that over the long run they will work their communication out.
