This was so beautiful! And such a cool idea to come across

Great story, and beautiful relationship. Thank you so much

Amazing! I love this story so much!

So sad that this is the end but i just want to tell you that i enjoyed reading you fic! It was a great concept, following Blam for all those years and every year was special and the way you wrote it was amazing.
Thank you for this fic, and it would be so awesome if you do a "bonus" chapter to see where Blam is in the next 10 years or so...

I feel like I can't even say how much I love this ending. I want to say it's perfect, but the most perfect thing is how it isn't perfect. Like it's happy and believable at the same time. Gah! I'm too emotional to even write a coherent review. How about: LOVE LOVE LOVE this!

I love Blaine's humanity.

When this started, Sam was a mess but he has earned his stability, his peace. Blaine is probably less put-together compared to his earlier self but he is more real now, dropping off those affectations. His put-togetherness was more of a show anyway. He'll always be the flakier one of the two but it's not to say that he isn't in his own way grounded or any way the lesser of the couple.

Your stories make me nervous because you make the characters so human. They have flaws and make mistakes and it makes it hard to read because it hits so close to home. But when I do get to the end it oh so worth it.

I wanted Blaine to find his own footing but I realized that isn't Blaine's journey. That was Sam. Sam needed to find himself, needed to exist without anyone telling him what to do and he couldn't be with anyone until he could be with himself. Blaine, on the other hand, needed to let go. He needed to realize he couldn't control everything and he needed to fail. He needed to risk and then fall on his face. He needed to be put off-balance, and stay off-balance. That's why Sam is perfect for him, for his sake he needs to be off-kilter so he doesn't become complacent and he stays on his toes and doesn't take things for granted; Sam is there to keep him steady.

It's a wonderful relationship and a great fic. Another job well-done! :)

Currently giggling like a schoolgirl. BRB. Gnihihi ! Wedding ! Gnihihihihihi !
I'm so glad you're finishing this story :D

And I promise I'll go back to red letter days soon !
You rock !

oh wow... i have missed this fic! Thanks for the update!

When it says "the ring was never coming off" ugh that part! Like eventhough it's just a ring, it represents a lot and you captured it so well! Thanky you for that!

can't wait for the rest!

I'm so happy for this update! I was afraid this story had been abandoned. It's so sweet and I love how Blaine couldn't even wait for Sam to ask, though I would have liked to hear his speech! And I was so relieved that Sam's WTFishness in the car wasn't a sign of something horrible. I almost don't want to read the next chapter if it's going to be the end...

I had thought this was done! I had forgotten that we haven't actually reached Year 10 until now.

I think part if the reason this affects me so strongly is how much I relate to Blaine. That fear of failure, the insecurity about being enough, that rigidity about everything having to be just so, the ability to hold a grudge, having to be the one to take care of people and things... Blaine's fears and reactions are mine and everytime he goes in a worry-spiral, so do I. I empathize with him so closely it's rather hard to read this at times (and makes me terrified to read Red Letter Days even though I know it's been chapters since the costume party).

This story is so awesome I cannot wait to see how it ends. I'm assuming with a wedding and possibly an Academy Award for Artie and Blaine.

Hey, I can't believe I never read this before. It was so beautiful and poignant. It really speaks to me on such a personal level. Sometimes what we think we want at 18 is so different than what we end up with and that's okay. And your story just highlights those highs and lows of life because not every year is awesome some of them suck right? I love how the love between Blaine and Sam is always present even in the highest high and lowest low, together or apart that love is there between them. And that's what gives me hope. I love how you used the secondary characters, this is such a great story and I wish I could express to you how beautiful I think it is but I don't have the words. So beautiful, I think there is still one more year? If so I can't wait. Thank you for this beautiful story.

This is my first time reviewing as I only just discovered this "gem" of a story! I adore the sweet yet tantalizing dynamic you've created between Blaine & Sam here. It's such a romantic tale, but realistic in the way it depicts how long it can take to find one's path in life and somehow maintain a healthy, close relationship.

I fear that your story is almost done since the whole premise was the "ten-year span" but if you could somehow be persuaded to stretch it out a bit further...? I feel as if I have only just been introduced to two amazing characters and must now brace myself to say goodbye. Sniff.

Kudos!

Great chapter! Glad to see Blaine and Sam coming back to each other. Jonah and any other interlopers better stay faaaar away. I'm so sad for Tina! That was really heartbreaking for me.
Loved the Puckleberry whisper fight. Your motherly Rachel is hilarious. And Blaine's freak out was golden!
Thanks for updating

Aww, Blaine is not ready to have a baby. That is so adorable.
