The audacity of this fic series to exist!
I’ll have you know, that I read the I’ll Be There For You series by @imogenlefay until almost four in the morning, and now I’m awake so early, and writing this, because aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhhhh!!
Why you do this? (no, I’m not really blaming her. haha)
I already read the first two before, but I needed to read them again just as a reminder of how it went. I don’t need to remember the words, but I needed to remember how it felt when I did the first time. Ya feel me?
My weakness when it comes to fics in Seblaine fandom is THE MESS. Give me all the mess and heartaches of canon! I’d throw my tablet across the room, squeeze my heart out, and take a walk to shed the stress, but I love all that mess, and how it’d be sorted later. As cute as how it would’ve been when they were teenagers (I’d read them again and again and I’d be in denial with all of you with how it went down in canon), but for me, there’s something about them being together a lot later that fits better with their characters.
It’s right here. And it’s multi-chapter Blaine-centric to boot?
Word count is like, a siren call.
I don’t know where I’m going with this. hahaa!
But girl, I felt it. Every word, every line she wrote in the series, the tone by which they were written, I felt all of them. The slow stretch of Blaine’s situation, things getting tenser and tauter, more desperate, and finally the release, finding that clarity and peace, dare I say?
And gahd, Sebastian. Remember A Boy Like That performance interspersed with Blaine and Sebastian scene? I remember laughing at that during my rewatch cos jokingly, I was like, the Boy in that situation isn’t Sebastian. It’s Blaine. And that’s where this went. Sebastian, my dear boy... I felt the longing and patience, and willingness to just be there. He probably didn’t know he had it in him. He didn’t know at first where it’s going, he even refused to hope, but he was just there being a good friend.
Girl, you threw me for a loop. Seriously. But in a very good way.
The lack of sleep is so worth it.
This has gone on long enough. haha! I hope you have a good morning and a bountiful breakfast @imogenlefay. I think, I need to leave a comment on your AO3. I’m going now...
And I need a nap later. haha!
