Another wonderful update. I was kind of expecting Blaine's story to be this, but the way you wrote him telling it to Kurt made it all new anyway. I really like how you use canon in this fic.

[xxxraquelita]

You're super fast! The majority of nods I make to canon are unintentional, honestly, but this one was definitely on purpose. Thanks for reading! I always appreciate your comments. :)

Well, it's not like I was sitting at work refreshing the page over and over again waiting for your update while I should have been grading the 200 exam papers that need to be done by June 21. :blushing:

[xxxraquelita]

You're blushing?! More like I'm blushing!

[freakyducky]

let me just sit here and be all swoon
I think I fell in love again with another one of your chapters
Blaine though :( *hugs him*
but awhn, I love them <3

[xxxraquelita]

I know, Blaine should get all the hugs.

[freakyducky]

trust me, he is!
*squeezes her Blaine* (for the occassion I named my teddy Blaine :P)

[xxxraquelita]

I'm so glad you have your very own Blaine to hug!

This was so beautiful. I could feel Blaine's emotions and nerves and hesitations, and I love how Kurt could support him. Really, you do such a wonderful job at capturing their emotions. I'm also in awe that you are writing this from Blaine's POV, because I imagine it would be hard to write from the POV of a blind person as we rely so heavily on description of surroundings and whatnot. But it really gives the reader a sense of Blaine's world and you do it very beautifully. Love :)

This is such a wonderful comment! Honestly, I'm constantly surprised at how easily it comes to write from the POV of someone who can't see -- especially considering how prose heavy and descriptive I usually am when I write. There was no real question about it when it came to this story, though. No way it could have been written from anyone else's point of view.

Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts with me. ♥

I've read this all the way through, and, yours is one of the journals that I regulalry check for updates so I feel bad that this is the first time I've replied [I read a lot of fic on my phone and it's a bitch for replying]
Please know that I am really really enjoying this, I love how well you've gotten into Blaine's head here, it's lovely.

[xxxraquelita]

Oh believe me, I read fic on my phone all the time and am well aware that it does not lend well to commenting. There really needs to be a way to make it easier, for my sanity if nothing else!

I'm glad that you've been enjoying it, and thank you so much for reading. :)

>>Their hands were linked together between them, and Kurt’s other arm was angled up across the pillows so he could run his fingers through Blaine’s hair. If that was going to be what happened every time his hair was gel-free, Blaine thought he might be able to let himself go every so often. <<

I just love that. So, so, so much. *sniffs*

I can't wait for more :)

[xxxraquelita]

Aww I'm glad! :3

Thank you!
