Really good story. I liked how you made the ending realistic.

This was really good and I love the glimpse of their future you gave us! So very beautiful and delicious! :D

I LOVE MAM MAW LOL! :D SHE IS AWESOME AND REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF MY GRANDMA LMAO! I LOVE THAT SHE ACCEPTS DAVE. X3 GREAT JOB. AND WHY THE HELL DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO READ THIS? IT'S GREAT. *HUGS*

I should be doing chores, instead I'm wasting my days reading your stories, and I love it xD

Hello Dreaming of a Nightmare,

I'm not really used to rewiew in english (it's easier in french for me) but your story is really wonderful and I want thank you for this.

actually, I'm reading a lot of yours fics. I discovered you yesterday and since... I'm reading !

Oh, I really like the speech between Chris and Max (what a joy ! ) and I was thinking to use the idea for a drabble (Torchwoo). Pleeease, can I have your permission to use it ? It would be funny and, of course, I credit you for the idea.

does it suit you ?

yours, Rhea S

OMG! Tears,,,that ending was sooooo good. Like cheesecake with amazing toppings and whipped creme good! I would love to read more from this verse if you were to write it, or perhaps you already have? I just now have decided to read all of your Glee stories. This one was so delicious, I do not understand why it does not have hundreds of reviews.

I am quickly becoming a shameless fangirl for your karomel fanfics. This is the second one I've read; the first was Rewrite (which I ADORE, by the way), and I have to say you just tell the sweetest stories with the most genuine emotions and the BEST kissing scenes ever. It's like I can see it, you make such a vivid picture. You really have a gift for developing romance with sympathetic characters and interesting plots.

this was easily one of my favorites when i started reading and writing kurtofsky fanfiction. it still is. i cant get enough of the ddr scene! definitely my fave kurt/dave interaction. loved it! XD

God, this fic is amazing. You are officially one of the best fanfiction writers on this site! I'm going to stalk you from now on...

Now I'm really a fan of this pair! I like epilogues where they get together/are still together a few years later. It makes me... hopeful for the future!

Anyhow, totally amazing fic!

This story is really great D .. . but ... in reading through it so far ... it (at least it's beginning) causes me to pause and wonder ... WHY do the fanfic writers on this board ALWAYS seem to make Azimio out to be 'the big bad violent black homophobe guy' in their writings (and, in the case of this story, why did the author even have to mention Azimio's ethnicity on top of everything else - when they never mentioned Dave's or Kurt's?)?

Ryan Murphy has NEVER portrayed Azimio as being any more homophobic or violent than Dave or Finn or anyone else on the show - YET - it seems on this board almost every writer wants to make Azimio out to be this horrific violent, ignorant, ghetto, homophobe AND 'the drive' behind all the homophobia and possible violence in the school.

That's unfair and does NOT fall into anything related to how Ryan Murphy has presented this character.

If anything Glee shows Azimio to be 'a follower' NOT 'the lead troublemaker' .

(If you notice – Azimio only seems to slushy and name call the ‘loser’ kids when Dave is around … a clear indication that Azimio just wants to fit-in with Dave and the other more ‘popular’ kids).

Also - I have both lived in and visited small towns in Ohio - and trust me - if Azimio were one of the few black kids at an all-white/nearly all-white school - there is NO WAY he would be the trouble-maker with anyone (let alone the leader of homophobic and violent acts).

And - most of the black people that I had met while in Ohio were about the most open-minded and accepting people anyone could ever encounter - (especially the black people who found themselves being among the few 'minorities' in ANY situation) - and I think this constant false (and violent and bigoted) presentation made of one of them is totally unfair.

If Azimio were TRULY one of the FEW black kids in an all-white / nearly all-white high school in small town Ohio (especially a middle class / upper middle-class one like Ryan Murphy presents McKinley as being) - from what I have seen of small town Ohio - he would NEVER hav even had the opportunity (or incentive) to practice homophobia or any other act singling any 'one' group out.

This is because Azimio would KNOW that IF he did any such thing HE would be THE NEXT person "singled out".

Ryan Murphy makes it abundantly clear that Azimio is NOT a violent person filled with hatred and bigotry - so much as he is simply a big, fat, insecure dork who (in an effort to fit-in among his jock buddies) simply 'follows' the crowd in pulling pranks on (ex. slushying) and even making attempts at hazing ANYONE (no matter if gay or straight) who isn't popular or ‘in with the in crowd’ (like he's so desperately trying to be) - so why the writers on this board seem to want to present this kid as being some sort of "to violent ignorant thuggish ghetto homophobe" is both offensive and confusing.

Again – the black people that I met when I stayed in Ohio (especially the jocks and other popular kids – but even the dorkier ones who just wanted a crowd to it into) were actually some of the most open minded and accepting people that I had ever encountered in my whole life.

Also – it seems to me that - if someone like Azimio ever had a problem with Dave being gay - it would (in my humble opinion) more than likely, perhaps, be due to Azimio being mad over (for instance) something like Azimio perhaps having felt pressured (by Dave and his popular crowd’) to cut someone out of his won life who he secretly deeply cared about (ex. a cousin, an uncle or even another best friend – and not so much a brother or a boyfriend or anything, as I think it would be silly to have 1 show with more than 1 secretly-gay jock and almost no one would ever consider kicking a sibling out of their life just ‘to fit in with the crowd’) – all due to Azimio’s secret fear of being rejected by ‘the popular kids’ if he had decided to keep this person in his life.

Thanks for listening - and (other than this one annoyance with the presentation of the Azimio character) I think this was a really great story. )

aawww so cute

great story loved it

and yes i would love to read kurtofsky smut :D

I just finished reading this in one sitting. I so love your stories, the long ones especially, I never want a great story to end! The short ones are wonderful as well, the endings are satisfying enough to make it okay that it is over (sorta kinda). This was a beautiful telling of what I believe could be an absolutely beautiful pairing someday, with a lot of changing and growing on the parts of both characters. I am sure this will in all likelihood never become canon, so I am very glad to be able to have it happen here. THANK YOU!

Beautiful fic. I wish I had read it sooner (I put all the multi-chaptered fics on hold until Christmas break, and only read the short ones). The end was bittersweet, and I hope they get to figure out a way to be together. :)

"But I realize: it began with that kiss, didn't it? And I felt so robbed back then, so violated; and yet now I think it was the perfect breaking point, something to shatter his disillusions and open my eyes."

So true! Love your fic and writting style. :)

Words cannot describe how much I love this! I almost started crying in the last chapter when I found out they weren't together anymore, I am so happy they got back together in the end, they are such a cute couple in this story.

You should definately keep writing Kurt/Dave fics, you write them so well :)
