I read this years and years ago and today I remembered this story and had fond memories of reading it so went and found it and reread it :)

Unexpectedly, this was a hell of a lot better than I thought it'd be. So bravo

I liked this story!

I'm liking it!

I've read all your glee Fics and my fav character is Kurt to

I frickin approve. Yeah.

Loved this! I adore your writing style and this story showed it off perfectly! Great job!

Ok, so this turned out to be an absolutely WONDERFUL way to spend an hour and a half! I loved Burt's "face goop" bit and the scene with him watching Kurt and Terri in the mall was just wonderful. And also? I loved the Kurt/Terri interaction. This was a fabulous story! I'm sad it's over. Brava!

Lovely fic! Nice to see Terri portrayed as a kind and relatively sane woman!

I've been looking for a fic about Kurt and Terri! Ty!

I am so, so happy to have the time to read a little, and this is the first thing I went to, because I clearly remember you posting it a long while back, but I never got the change to really sit down and read it all the way through and leave a proper review.

And wow, was this ever incredible! I couldn't believe it - you made Terri an ACTUAL person to me. I mean, to be honest, I never detested her wholly and completely on the show - I thought she was nuts, and I thought she was extremely selfish. She could annoy me like nobody else, but towards the end, I did actually feel a smidgen of sympathy for her - and that smidgen is now significantly larger thanks to this story.

I could totally imagine all of this going through her head - it was believable and so very interesting. This line made me snort out loud: "He had avenged her against Will's red-headed trollop and for that, she could forgive him anything." *giggles* Oh, and this also got an "LOL" out of me: " . . . but they had once belonged to Mr. Schuester and wearing your teacher's underwear was just plain creepy, no matter how you spun it." I completely agree with that.

One thing I really love is that you didn't sacrifice all the annoying/bad points of her character to achieve the goal of sympathy . . . that's what made it so realistic to me. I completely bought your explanation as to why Terri wasn't homophobic (though she may have once been). And her being perfectly aware of Will's blind-spot when it comes to Finn? Also great.

Oh, and by the way, this is what Burt totally should have done in reaction not to Will's actions in this story, but in his utter failure to help Kurt with the bullying on the show: "Tempted to scream out all of his frustration in a tirade so powerful that it would have the mild mannered chorus teacher weeping and wetting himself within minutes . . ." That's the first thing that popped into my head when I read this. And this whole chapter on Burt's search for Kurt, even having an idea that Kurt is safe . . . still so heartbreaking to read - it was amazing that you achieved that there, even though we know (and Burt knows to an extent) that Kurt isn't in immediate danger.

Terri's concern over Burt getting puked on was something so her, and I loved how Burt just shrugged that off - so true about parents. I know my mother often likes to remind me that there is nothing I could ever do to gross her out, since she's been covered in just about every gross thing that can come out of a kid since I was a baby.

I just about died laughing when all of Terri's romantic musings ended when she realized Burt was bald . . . God, so in-character, and so awesome.

And that second epilogue was so beyond great as well - Burt keeping a tally like watching a football game or something? Really. Damn. Funny.

It feels all done to me, but if you ever decide to write further in this Terri!Verse you have created, I would eagerly read it!

Terri was great in this. you wrote her well. :)

Loved all the father-son Hummel goodness in these chapters, and Terri's realization that her life had become so lonely without her even noticing it. Burt's flare of anger at Terri was very IC, as was his determination to make up for it. You always do a great job of capturing the 16 year old kid in Kurt. To me, chapter 7 felt like the emotional end of the story, so I think you were right to label 8 and 9 epilogues.

I adore the moment when Burt starts pointing an accusatory finger at the sky - Burt Hummel best TV dad ever! And his observations about Schue being annoyingly eager to please but at least sincere are also very IC for Burt. Happily reading on...

Wonderful Terri and Kurt interaction, and I'm liking all her wistful musings about Will. Enjoyed the line in chapter 3 "there was being a Good Samaritan and then there was being a Cougar, and that was not a line she was looking to cross!" And Kurt being worried about Burt being worried about him - perfectly in character.
