This was very beautifully done. I love it. Thanks for sharing this.

So I was going through your other stories after reading the newest chapter of DSM, and found this little gem. And I'm so glad I did.

Your protrayal of Blaine's parents is actually what I really hope is canon. I tend to think that Blaine's parents are not homophobic, so much as they just wish things were different for Blaine's sake. He went through so much during the Sadie Hawkins dance, that I feel like any parent would be shaken if they had to live through that. And yes, Blaine does say that he rebuilt a car with his dad because he hoped it would make him straight, but sometimes people need to adjust to new ways of thinking. I tend to think the rebuilding the car was more of Mr. Anderson trying to cope with the news, and maybe he didn't take it as well as he could have, but at least he didn't throw his son out of the house.

Loved this interpretation of Blaine's home life. I think you really tapped into something profound, and I loved all of your characterizations. Very much enjoyed all of this.

This story was so good! It was what happened in the episodes but with a totally different light. Loved it! :)

ADORE!

a good one

I'm reading this for a second time and I still can't help but wonder: what is the real reason no one in the Anderson house uses the blender? Could be a cute/funny follow-up fic that delves into Blaine's past/family a little more.

That was amazing! Really well written, sweet, great family relations. Captured some great moments. I loved it.

PS: Blaine's brother... was his name chosen because it's Darren Criss' middle name? xD (No, I really shouldn't know that...)

Sorry, being lethargically slow with my reading, end of the year, feeling sluggish.

Beautiful last part, I don't know how you do it, but you always manage to make everything sound exactly like it would from the show. Some people (including me) have a hard time keeping people completely in character, but the dialogue you throw in there is wonderful.

Just well-written, and I liked the whole "I love you" thing intertwined at the end; beautiful.

I thought this was a nice ending; I really do hope Blaine transfers to McKinely, it would be nice to see him out of uniform more often (although that's not the #1 reason for him to), and overall, I loved the story :)

Loved it! I'm so sad its over. :(

The ending reminded me of something. You should go on YouTube and look up "Klaine Skit". It's from the glee tour and I love it! :D

This was perfect, in every single way.

You handled the scene with Irene very, very delicately and beautifully. She expressed her worries as a mother perfectly, especially with how she didn't want them to go, not out of disapproval, but of true worry.

My heart honestly clenched at this part:

She stepped around the island towards him. "I am not going to say I do not wish you were straight, but, Blaine, only because your life would be easier if you were."

Blaine wanted to argue, but he stopped himself.

"But seeing the two of you," she said, "you've been happier and happier…I can't deny you this, I can't tell you you can't be with Kurt, but, Sweetheart, I wouldn't be able to stand it if I had to run off the hospital again and it was more than just a broken wrist. I don't want either of you hurt."

THAT, is a true mother's love. While she would want Blaine to be straight, not out of shame nor embarrassment nor disapproval, but to only make his life easier. It's not about the sexuality of it at all, it's about her child's safety and happiness. THAT is what a true mother should worry about. It's already been proven point blank that she just wants her son to be happy.

I enjoyed your characterization of Kurt here, because it stays absolutely true to how his character on the show is meant to be perceived; strong, stubborn, logical and practical, yet vulnerable past that facade. I also enjoyed the humor you put with Blaine's interaction with Finn; I can honestly imagine that being an actual scene on the show itself.

It seemed like there was a countdown throughout the chapter to the exact moment where Blaine realizes he truly loves Kurt. As you wrote out Blaine's POV during the Lima Bean scene with Kurt, you were very articulate and precise with how his feelings for Kurt became magnified. You wrote out his POV very well that I can truly say with all honesty that Blaine (in the show) MUST have also been feeling that way; it's so exact and well written as if you were in the writer's head as they pictured out that scene.

He tipped his head into his hand, still reeling from a few simple facts: he wanted to watch Kurt like this for the rest of his life, he could just sit and watch Kurt without anyone to ask permission from, Kurt for some reason wanted him.

THAT, that is the best way to describe Blaine's thoughts during that scene in the show. Truly, BRAVO.

The final part, I am glad to say, gave me a pleasant surprise. I wasn't exactly expecting you to end it on that note, but it is a very interesting end. While not at all hanging, you give us the sense of a new beginning, a sense of hope.

While I'm hoping you would make a sequel, perhaps chronicling Blaine's experiences with Kurt at McKinley, it might be too cliched since this ending is perfect as it is.

You truly are an amazing writer. I have really enjoyed reading all your fics. There has been so much improvement between this fic and "Dalton Academy: A Strange New World". I imagine you can and will improve so much more with the more you write.

Never stop writing, because you truly are one of the best at it.

Keep up the great work; I cannot wait for the next fic you should post. :)

omg...this story...SO EPIC! I loved how you handled Blaine's parents. You made them human. They were of course uncomfortable with the fact that he was straight, but it was because they knew his life would be easier, not because it made them sick. That scene when he tells his parents and his mom breaks down like that was VERY moving. Thank you for writing such a wonderful Blaine-centric fic. Hopefully we'll get to learn more about Blaine in season three. I'd really like to meet his parents. And yeah, he's totally transferring to Mckinley, he BETTER! If he stays at Dalton we'll hardly get to see him at all! And Glee without lots of Darren Criss and without lots of Klaine is Glee not really worth watching, in my personal opinion.

I really loved this story. You did a great job writing it. :)

A perfect ending, and a perfect beginning for Blaine and Kurt's new life together )

This is just amazing. I really got caught up reading it. Loved reading Blaine's perspective on everything. I think you captured all the feelings perfectly.

The two things I really liked about this were that a) Blaine's parents became accepting-I personally don't thnik Blaine would be his dapper self if his parents were abusive, and b) that the way you presented Blaine asking to go to McKinley is the fist time in a Fic where I felt it was the right thing to do. If that makes sense? I mean that I don't see Blaine leaving the Warblers, but I think that your ending made it the most plausible. Good job, I liked your story! :)
