I don't know, I've had really really rough few weeks with my boyfriend and just EVERYTHING and I had a really emotional day and as soon as I got home, the newest chapter just hit me so so so hard and it was so beautiful and tears are still streaming down my face and my heart hurts and GOD MIMSY IT WAS AMAZING<3

I'm sorry to hear you were having a rough time, love!  I hope everything's looking better for you now, and thank you for your lovely words <3

lavenderisis said: LOVED the ‘drops mic’ tag you had for AZ…so appropriate! And, of course not the only thing I loved about that chapter! (By the way, I’ll always have a soft spot for the Grand Canyon due to it being where my wife & I honeymooned after we eloped. *happy sigh*) LOVED the SLY reference in NM! And I loved EVERY moment of Vegas…but particularly the line “You just have to be with me” *another happy sigh* And to that, I say THANK FUCKING GOODNESS! :)

Thank you so much, darling.  Thank fucking goodness indeed ;)

Anonymous said: I'm speechless. I stared at the ending of this chapter at least ten minutes, barely breathing and tears in my eyes. I don't know how I imagined this to finally unfold, but this was just beyond anything I could've ever imagined. The build-up to those mutual declarations has been indescribably beautiful, and to finally see it unfold punched the air out of me. 100 days is a work of art. Can't believe I've been lucky enough to follow the story since the very beginning!

I can't believe it's been so long that I've been posting!  Gosh, it's been quite the journey.  Thank you so much, anon!

littlepinklola said: Darling Mimsy, I have butterflies from the sweetness and love between these two. AHHHH THEY'RE BOYFRIENDS NOW WOOOOOO. Only they would get kicked out of a museum for making out. I adore how open and honest Kurt was, I love seeing this side of him, telling Blaine that he is the one person who knows even more about him than he does. I love how happy they both are. You continue to both amaze and move me.

As always, my darling Lola, thank you so much!  You're wonderful :)

jennatheobscure said: Oh god, this thing is so perfect. You are my most favorite lady, just so you know.

*blushes*  Thank you, sweetie!

lololuvsglee said: I have said it before, but it bears repeating. You. Slay. Me. Here is my confession: I would kill to write like you, but since that is not in the cards I shall simply stalk your writing endlessly.

Hey, if you've got a story to tell then you have to tell it!  And never forget Teddy Roosevelt's wise words: comparison is the thief of joy.  Thank you :)

branches-are-looking-at-me said: Whenever I comment your updates, I sound as enthusiast as if I were on crack. And somehow I’m feeling high: high on feelings, high on giddiness, high on love. And no, it’s not an empty babbling of complimentary words without real sentiment: when I don’t feel like making compliments I just shut up. But, this? This fic? This chapter? These boys and the fact that, no matter the evolution of their relationship, are still going to be best friends first? This is perfect. This is full of love and devotion (I also refer to your patience in rewriting everything and still making it to the original update interval). This makes me high *o* and enthusiast, yup.

Thank you so much, my darling--and yes, it did take an awful lot of patience!  But I got there in the end, and so did these boys...  And that's what's important :)

undefinedkosmos said: Melting, omg. Maybe I’ll find other words later, after I reread a few dozen times or so. *happy sigh*

Teehee!  Thank you!

klaineandbiscuits said: Oh wow. Oh Mimsy… For all of the emotional ups and downs, all of the moments of realization and self-discovery, all of the declarations of love—both romantic and that of two friends who are are each other’s worlds—nothing prepared me for the quiet, almost blink-and-you-miss-it moment when both boys understood that this wasn’t just wish fulfillment, this was a no-holds-barred exchange of fragile hearts and a future stretching out before them. I loved the quiet intimacy of this chapter so very much; it was one of those captured moments in time that make me weep for pure happiness. And once again, I want to roll around kickyfeeting in the sensual and emotional imagery. I hold my breath when lips meet skin and get goosebumps with every gaze that sweeps over and commits beloved features to memory; writing so intimate that it feels almost voyeuristic to read… **happy sigh**

I just...  Sam, how do you always just understand?  Not only that, but you open my eyes to themes and things that I hadn't necessarily even thought of!  It's like that Nighthawks painting, where the artist forgot to paint a door...  Just.  Thank you.

openinguptojoy1 said: started tearing up reading the first paragraph and am full-on crying at the end. Mimsy, I’m going to need a therapist by the end of this story. But I love it, and love you for writing such an eloquent, magnificent piece of art.

I love you too!  Thank you :)

nadiacreek said: I can’t believe they’re in California already! And it’s nothing like what I imagined. :D

Oh my god, I reread that the other day and almost wet myself laughing.  I think it's you that is the true artist, Nadia.

gay-braveheart said: I love the character shift in Blaine. He seems more...happy? Sure of himself? Something like that. Either way, I love the openness between them now. Everything just makes me grin like an idiot.

He is much happier, yes.  Much more secure, now that he knows they're for good.  He's a sappy ol' romantic and he just wants the happy ending ;)  Thank you!

thechriscolf said: THAT CHAPTER WAS SO GOOD AND OH GOD WE'RE ON 10.1 ALREADY NO I DON'T WANT THIS TO END NOOOOO

KATE DON'T EVEN LOOK AT ME I WAS WORKING ON ALASKA LAST NIGHT AND CRYING IT'S SO CLOSE TO THE END HGDSLKFJSDL

Anonymous said: Wait. I just realized... do we get to find out who "F" is??  This is the "who's F" ask, I just realized it wasn't over! I was reading on ao3 and I feel completely foolish, but at the same time so excited that there's more!! :)

jennatheobscure said: Oh my god. The next week is going to last a million years.

*u* (shh don't worry too much, we're in for a happy chapter!)

jukeboxanderson said: Well that was WELL worth the wait, wasn’t it, boys? ;)

I think they'd be inclined to agree with you ;)

orangegirl22 said: Oh god damn it. I’m not even sure if I’m happy or very annoyed.

The shipping forecast says happy ;)

openinguptojoy1 said: I think I need CPR, and a cigarette! holy smokes this was amazing! and frustrating, but mostly amazinnnnnnng!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee T, thank you!  (It was mostly cigarettes that fuelled the writing with it, tbh.)

pyrofloss said: MIMSY. I’m dead. You killed me. Because they are SUCH IDIOTS and also all the lovely naked boys. So, so wonderful and also more please and also can I smack them upside the head?

Yes, they are fucking idiots.  Honestly.  I know this--I'm writing chapter seven at the moment and--IDIOTS.  Thank you, my darling dear :)

josephineblue said: "This is just about sex, right?" Aw COME ON!!!! These boys… I just… I’m done.

They're making their way, don't fear ;)

gleescape said: Kurt, nooooo!!!!! What are you doing, you silly boy! Own your feelings, dammit! (it’s ok Mimsy, I know we’re only on chapter 4; I can wait!). I love every single thing about this chapter, but I think my favourite is the nod to “I Do”- perfect.

Yes yes, only chapter four...  But also--hard to break the habit of a lifetime, right?  Don't worry; there are good things coming this chapter :)  And GAH!  Thank you!  You picked up on the nod!  My canon references are generally few and far between, and usually fairly heavily disguised.  I'm glad you caught it :)

keepfollowingklainebows said: Aaah! They kissed for real! Yippee! And then Kurt was a chicken shit at the end again. Booo! What happens on the trip stays on the trip my ass. Something tells me the next 7 chapters will solve that problem! You are a cruel temptress, Mims, and I love you for it! And I also love the references to Gilded Cage and St. Augustine! So sneaky! Until next Wednesday! xoxo

"Chicken shit" is a great way of describing both of them, I won't lie.  And I'll go out on a limb and say that, yes, these next chapters will work toward a good outcome.  I believe in happy endings, after all ;)  And thanks!  Had to put in some nods to my conduit/beta/all-round best person ever.

christinejaneanderson said: Mimmmmmmmsy. SCREAMS!!! Kurt, Kurt, Kurt, Kurt, Kurt. Why, baby? I know you're scared, but trust in Blaine. You must KNOW. That he feels the same... right?

*whispers* He will, in time.  *zips lips again*  Thank you, honey :)

gay-braveheart said: I'M SO HAPPY I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ALL DAY AND I'M SO HAPPY but also still wanting to throttle them a little BUT MOSTLY HAPPY. ILYSM.

ILYSM AS WELL (AND ALSO YOUR ICON BECAUSE CHEKOV FHSGJSDFJKLFJ)!!!

shannananan said: I just have to say I am loving how 100 Days is unfolding. As soon as I realized that the song was "Anything Could Happen" I could not stop beaming. The jittery feeling i got reading along with the music was the same feeling I got the first time I read iconicklaine's pivotal scene in "Someone Like You". Time like that, where music and words can blend beautifully in truly creating a *moment*. Not sure if that makes sense, but can't wait for what more is in store!

Eee, thank you so much!  The soundtrack is SO important to me, and to the story--music is my bread and butter when it comes to a good writing process, and finding the right songs with the right atmosphere and sound just oils the gears like you wouldn't believe.  And thank you, also, for mentioning that scene in SLY.  One thing that never fails to give me chills, and I'd never presume to compare myself to Annie, but the fact that you even mentioned the two in the same sentence...  Guh.  Thank you :)

amelodysosweet said: Amazeballs! <3

Hee, thanks!  <3

Anonymous said: is it really going to be 30+ more weeks until we get to the end? holllyyyy shiiiiiit. i love it though. thank you for being so consistent with the posting. perfect.

I'm hoping not.  As soon as I'm done writing (three and a half chapters left), I'll be upping my posting frequency to twice or three times weekly.  Just need to knuckle down and bust out these remaining chapters!  And thank you for being so lovely!  :)

klaineandbiscuits said: Oh man… This story has worked itself so far under my skin that the ache and yearning of want and doubt and love and fear is mine as much as theirs. The prickle of loss when things go unsaid, the hallelujah chorus when stars so briefly align, the textures and colours and soundtrack to Mimsy’s opus all wrap me up and won’t let me go. I savour every chapter and wallow in its sensory echo for hours afterward.

branches-are-looking-at-me said: They are slowly, increasingly getting their act together. I’m this close to building an altar in honor of this fic right in front of my house, in the middle of the street. And people will lose control of their cars while trying to avoid this giant mass of marble in the middle of the road, and all I’ll be thinking about it “They are getting their act together!”

Careful!  I don't want you going to prison because of this!  Thank you, sweetie ;)

jennatheobscure said: I get out of my last class at 3:45. I sit & wait. And every single time, it’s worth it. And I always think, “it can’t keep getting better. There has to be something crappy eventually.” And there never is. Perfect as usual. Always the highlight of my week.

You, my dear, are a sweetheart.  Thank you so much *u*

lizinprogress said: Always a delight, NEVER LONG ENOUGH! :-) Oh, I both love and hate waiting for Wednesdays. xoxo Gorgeous as always. Can’t wait to hear what’s next.

Don't worry too much--next week's is over 4k ;)  Thank you!

josephineblue said: Free hugs from Sebastian!!!! They are giving in…

Hee, you got that!  Yup!  And will they or won't they...  Guess you'll have to tune in next week ;)

Anonymous said: You make me feel breathless and my stomach flip like crazy. Reading this chapter I squeezed the couch cushions so hard my knuckles turned white, my palms all sweaty under the grip. The magnitude of just how much you make me care about these boys and their story leaves me dumbfounded every time. I wish you'd one day print this - turn it into something concrete. Even just midway through, I already know this story deserves to be a physical book - because something this *amazing* simply does! <3

Wow, Anon.  Just...  Wow.  I don't even know what to say!  "Thank you" doesn't really seem to do this wonderful message justice, but...  Thank you.
