this was really bittersweet :)

Thanks for this - I read it years ago and just now and I’m sure down the road I’ll be back again.

On point on so many levels.

Hi there. I'm not sure if you still receive reviews anymore, but I wanted to leave one here for you regardless. I want to thank you for writing this fic. I've read it possibly 5 times since you finished it over the years and it's become one of those fics that just feels like home. Whenever I want to indulge in some brittana, I come here. It's only fitting that I came back here while grieving Naya and honestly I'm not sure how the past few months would have gone by if I didn't have this fic to bring me genuine laughs and good memories. I don't know you, but you feel like a good friend that's been there for me over the years and I just want to say thank you and thank you for gracing us with your talent. I hope everything is going well for you and that you're safe and healthy. Much love from Anneta

It is 2020 and I am reading this in Australia. We have had the vote and same sex marriage is now legal. Same sex couples are more readily accepted by society but there are still so many issues faced by young people coming out. This chapter was very well written. Sadness, despair, some light hearted moments too. So well done.

They need these epic girls nights more often. I couldn’t stop laughing especially with Mercedes being down the drain

Love the long chapters

I can’t stop reading

Gotta love Brittana

I love this story already. You write humour so well.

Eversince Naya's passing I found myself rewatching Glee, and, in turn, got sucked back into the fandom, fell in love, then hated, then couldn't help but love it despite its flaws. I spent the past week reading your fics, and this one impressed me the most. This is not just a good fanfiction, it is a very, very well-written story that is A LOT better than all seasons 4-6 of the actual show. Best part of it? Yours came out before the show even came out and Glee writers be damned for not hiring you as their official writer that time. This story is one of the very few Glee fanfictions which enabled me to read every single line in the characters' actual voices, because the portrayal of each and every one of them is superbly accurate to how they are in the show. What impressed me even more is that, not only you managed to accomplish that, you also managed to mimic the show's exact tone; which ranges from satiric comedy, drama, to full angst. Most fic writers-no, no, correct that-most writers can barely manage with one genre, yet here you are, clearly superior, with your incredibly well-written story. You made me laugh, you made me cry, you made got me cheering in one moment and frustrated the next as I read through the characters' joys and mishaps. I felt like I was so immersed in this universe you created, and I could picture every detail, every smell, every voice in it, and yet, despite how original the world you created felt, it still felt like the familiar Glee we all came to know and loved (before it turned to shit). You somehow fixed nearly every single thing I never liked about the show as it progressed, like: I don't think Klaine should end up together cos they started well but clearly outgrew each other, Santana and Dani together does nothing to either character (so I'm glad you explored Millie's character, she's very complex and intriguing) , Brittany and Sam should've just stayed friends (and even if they get together I would've loved to see Britt pine over Santana with Sam noticing), I've always wanted to see Brittany show ANY sign of possessiveness towards Santana but the show never delivers (it feels inorganic and somehow unfair to see how it always seems to be Santana who fights for Brit and never the other way around in the show) , I could never for the life of me make sense why Santana never gone into NYADA when she clearly is good enough for it and she loves performing, I've always found it ridiculous how cruel Santana and Rachel are in New York to one another, Rachel suddenly landing a big break in Funny Girl feels unrealistic and too soon and I have always wished we could've seen her struggle more in her journey to be a star in New York, and Rachel would definitely have not have left Broadway for a TV show cos thats just weird. And lastly ive always wanted to see the repercussions of Finn outing Santana.
You fixed all those problems. Bravo. Bravo.
In my head, this fic is canon. I love this 1000x better. Thank you so much for refreshing my love for the show and for your willingness to share a piece of your talent to the world.
This is quite possibly one of the best things I have ever read. Ever.
You are amazing.
If you ever write a novel or something please do let me know, because I would gladly buy a copy.
Sorry for grammatical mistakes. English isn't my first language.

ABKDHPIBSO WHY LIN MANUEL MIRANDA OF ALL PEOPLE

I started to re-read this randomly recently for probably the 20th time thoughtout the years but with what happened on that awful day I didn't think I could go on and finish it this time. After forcing myself to continue I realised that it actually gave me enormous comfort in such an awful time for the fandom reading this, this along with revisiting the board to reminisce about all the good, bad and crazy times when had, has been exactly what I needed. Your fics (including Lake Hope) have always brought joy in times of need, you truly are a wonderful writer and I hope that you are doing this professionally because it would make me incredibly sad to think that the rest of the world wouldn't get to enjoy your genius. Sorry for rambling...i'll just finish by saying i hope life is treating you well and thank you for everything x

authors really can't help it can they? You really expect us to beileve that Brittany, even as open as she is would not only immediately try to make friends with her girlfriend's ex, even when said gf has all but begged her to stay away from her, AND immediately trust something the ex would say about Santana? Really?!

It's only been 4 chapters but I LOVE the Kurt and Santana gaymance. It was criminally underused on the show, they should be absolute besties - one who argue and bitch at each other (A LOT) but still besties.

hahahahahahahaHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that ending tho! poor kurt hahahahahahahahahahaa
