Ending this part with Kurt's realization - the notion of betrayal - and his apology is so- fitting; it's impactful, a (very welcomed) punch in the gut; I feel like I've been brought to a high, and then brutally dropped down in the best ways.

I'm an emotional mess again.

Yay! I mean, I don't really want you to be an emotional mess, but on the other hand, I was tempted to make the tag on my blog "I won't be happy until I make someone cry" - so, okay, maybe I do want that a little. :) I hope you can survive until tomorrow morning - but if you can't, well, you have a copy and can skim through for the happy parts :)

Your work might've rendered me slightly masochistic; while reviewing it, I kept thinking of how it could be any more poignant (you saw my rambling on the separation of chapters); in your words, I've become an angst-whore.

I hope everyone is reduced to a sobbing mess before the last chapter.

I hope everyone is reduced to a sobbing mess before the last chapter.

I think that may be the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me.

Yay! Something not nc-17. I'm coming back to read it later when I have time. Seconding Mary Flanner - the only reason I started my page was because I wanted to write haiku with her. True story.

Yay back! Actually, this is the first thing I started writing in this fandom, but it just kept growing so it took a long time to post. I have a lot of PG-13 stuff in the mill, and all of it is looooooong and thinky.

Sometimes I think about writing non-NC-17 versions of my NC-17 stuff because the NC-17 stuff is usually not the point of the story. Also, I'm a little confused about what the difference is between PG-13 and R and NC-17. Like the keelhauling scene in mary-flanner's "How It Ends" - is that PG-13 because it's not graphic, or R because it's implied sex, or NC-17 because it's sex?

THIS IS FABULOUS. All the feelings everywhere. I'm probably going to read it again, but favorites for now ( ... )

OK, so yeah, I might personally know a little too much about having two parts, "one all sensitive and sad and how could I have done that? and the other totally high off of hurting someone."

And also, OMG, your headcanon is my headcanon.

Is "mustache like a Middle Eastern dictator" a line from the show? It's awesome. But I think she usually Nairs it. Or does she bleach it? I guess I'll have to get an HDTV to find out. I remember "man hands," but not who said it.

I actually *loved* BIOTA. The pacing and the humor were awesome and the scene editing was brilliant. (Example: Only after I watched it 10 times did I realize that "You're So Far Away" continues to play very quietly during the entire argument between Kurt and Blaine at the Lima Bean. That is genius ( ... )

Oh my God I am IN LOVE with this.
And we get four more parts. Well SHIT. Can't wait <3

wowbright November 28 2011, 22:37:35 UTC

Yay! It's in love with you, too.

I hope you are over your depression by now. You should do what I do when AnxiousSquirrel is driving me crazy making me wait for more Breathe chapters - write fic!

And, um, yeah, I loved writing that. I think I might enjoy writing angsty masturbation better than happy masturbation, because I am a sick, sick puppy.

And yes, I will let you love me forever! XD

This is so much everything.

That episode was such a clusterfuck on every side that I was just wincing and watching it through my eyes. This is a wonderful viewpoint of it all. I love it!

wowbright November 28 2011, 22:45:11 UTC

Thanks! I hope you enjoy the rest as much.

(In defense of the episode, though, the editor's/director's choice of background music was perfect.)
