Hi! Thank you, and I'm so happy you're still enjoying this thing! :D
My head canon for Kurt in this is that he uses cooking as a way to manage stress and anger, so Rachel (even though, yeah, OMG, really, Rachel?) kinda did him a favor in a weird, accidental way, gave him a little respite from feeling bad about things. Writing Kurt sleepy was making me sleepy. I ended up taking a nap after those scenes. :P But I think you're right; it was a good evening anyway.
Blaine is good at including people.
I feel like this kind of thing comes pretty naturally to Blaine, which is an interesting thing to me in Glee, how a character like Finn tries so hard to be The Leader but struggles with these more basic aspects of it. And Blaine, who really doesn't have the ego some ascribe to him, just does it naturally. I really like that about him. <3
It seems so unexpected and urgent. Hot.
Oh, yay! That's what I was aiming for, but I dithered over those paragraphs fearing it was going to be more disjointed than hot. I really wanted it to be a quick flash of sudden, unplanned, and imperfect passion. A bit disjointed, I guess, but more emotionally than structurally? With the whole small hours vulnerability kind of feeling. IDK. I'm babbling. Your feedback always makes me want to babble at you. :)
I loved the conversation with Finn.
I am really glad the kitchen scene with Finn felt like that too, in its own way. There's something about the circadian rhythms of our brains that makes those small hours really different in brain-feel to me, in terms of intimacy and loosening of inhibition and all that stuff you mention.
I like that Blaine...
Thank you extra much for these comments. I was worried I might accidentally have trodden into wankland even daring to write this conversation, which is somewhere I never want to find myself.
Having said that, I did miss having Blaine's perspective on Kurt's guilt somewhere on screen, and I also miss these kind of more S2 friendshippy moments between Blaine and Kurt where Blaine offers some of his own wisdom to Kurt when Kurt is floundering a little, overburdening himself maybe, which I think is an interesting way to show how Kurt's morality and atheism come together (And maybe why we got the God Squad scene to remind us of Kurt's atheism in the episode?) for him in terms of his feeling responsible.
Aaand, I'm done babbling at you. Thank you so much, again, for reading and for your fabulous feedback. You're awesome. ♥!
