Loved it. Many authors tend to make Kurt weak, neurotic, and needy; but psychologically he's a rather strong. You handled all the Glee characters quite well; albeit a bit harshly when it came to Finn. Regardless; what you did with Kurt and Blaine brought both more depth. You're now a favourite author of mine. Pity the television programme glossed over this situation...Glad that you didn't. Thanks

I really liked this! You did a great job with kurt's inner conflict/characterization and how he decided to handle things in the end:) You are a very good writer!

Absolutely adore it. I agree with Quinn there on both views, and hated how they glossed over Blaine comparing Kurt to his disapproval, which was wrong too, to him being a animal who would beat him up, stalk him, sexually assault him and threaten to kill him is really unforgivable. I love how Kurt isn't just taking it anymore, but its not Blaine bashing but making him human

I really enjoyed this. It was so, so bittersweet. I had the same feelings about Blaine that you did. Many people used this particular episode to hate Blaine, and although the way he treated Kurt kind of pissed me off, I became more attached to him. This episode proved that he wasn't perfect, and that he was a stupid clueless teenager like everyone else. He just seemed much more realistic than he was before. So, thank you for bringing Blaine's behavior to light without bashing him into the ground. :)

I like the hurt/quinn friendship thing. but that's all I like it was a readable story but not one of my faovortie. sory thumb downs on this one :(

This was really well written and well thought-out.
The way Kurt reacted in your story was pretty much the way I was hoping he'd react in the series

Loved it so much :)

I absolutely loved this, even more than the real episode. I was so frustrated with BIOTA and the following episode, because there was never any follow up or further plot development with the Blain/Kurt fight that happened. This really filled the hole for me!

ADORE

"This feeling was why he'd made a solemn vow after the Finn Fiasco to never, ever get his hopes up that a guy would like him back until he'd gotten out of Ohio – heartbreak. Despair. Shame. Self-pity, self-loathing…" Oh, poor Kurt!

You, good ma'am, have not only crafted a wonderful, realistic, in-character story, but also dealt with my biggest BIOTA pet peeve. I forever lost a good deal of respect for our favorite Warbler after the Karofsky comparison (and he didn't get much back until Blackbird). THROW THAT COFFEE, KURT! I like how it doesn't end with them in a relationship-it ends with Kurt setting his boundaries. You managed to address that Blaine and Kurt were both a little bit wrong, but still made neither sound like a monster, and that alone is a gem in fic focused on this episode. Plus, you've got a few of my favorite tropes in here-no hairgel!Blaine, Kurt/Quinn friendship (I love those two, and there is not enough friendship fic. LOVE THEM), and that lovely Lady Gaga quote (cracks in the mirror) that always makes me feel empowered.

I WANTED THIS CANON AND NEVER GOT IT. You made up for it. *bows down*

I'm so glad you wrote this, because even though so much time has passed since Blame and now, that episode still pissed me off. I can't believe how Blaine treated Kurt, and this fic was just like "YESSSSSS" in my head.

Loved this!

Just a few things, here. 1. I absolutely loved this! Your characterizations were perfect, truly. I adore the Quinn/Kurt friendship. I sort of always thought they were friends in secret, not because they were afraid of people talking, but to sort of have a laugh behind the ND's backs. 2. I am SO appreciative of the coffee throw. I've read numerous stories that go on and on about how wrong Kurt was, how unsupportive, blah blah blah. Did nobody even realize his best friend compared him to an animal like Karofsky? I was so indignant! Kurt wasn't entirely smart about the things he said, but he's always had a "heat of the moment" mouth. Blaine, on the other hand? That was just wrong. I'm glad you called him out on it. And 3. Your Glee attitude is brilliant. I hope you continue writing more of these. You've got the dynamic down pat, darlin'. Good show!

To be perfectly honest, a lot of the time I skip over BIotA-based fics for the same reason... I HATED Blaine's actions in that episode. But... I thought hey, give this one a try, it's pretty long.

Absolutely spectacular. This is now my head-canon on how they made up and how Blaine eventually got his head out of his *cough*, so that they got together finally.

Beautifully written, wonderful wonderful work. Going to go obsess on the rest of your fics now, just wanted to say thanks for writing this.
