Lolaaaaaaaaaaaa you're always my biggest cheerleader with this story!  Thank you so much darling--it tickles me that you've mentioned so many things you liked!  <3

dievampiredie said: I thought for sure that the boys were going to finally admit their feelings in last night’s update, because you keep hinting at *soon* and it was the end of a chapter and it just feels like it’s about damn time! That being said, I really loved how things actually played out. I was so happy to discover that Blaine definitely overheard Kurt in the maze. I love them teasing and flirting and being playful, and the sex was INSANELY hot. I know you’re constantly moving them forward, but this particular update felt a lot like both of them were just biding their time. They know what’s coming, even if they’re scared and completely clueless about what it all means for them and their future, and I loved seeing them kind of resting in that space for a moment. As much as I want them to pull their heads out of their asses, I’m enjoying where they’re at right now. And every time Blaine calls Kurt “sweetheart” I get the same belly flip-flops Kurt does. Brilliant as always, love. <3

Teehee, it is about damn time--but they're getting there.  Only a few more states to go, a few more open chapters to close...  They're on their way ;)  Thank you!

jollycolfer said: Mimsy, you write so beautifully! And the fact that Blaine HEARD and isn't doing anything about it? I am now convinced you're trying to kill me. That aside, you just have the most wonderful way of separating your writing from what's going on, so even if I don't like the circumstances (because who would?) I still have to applaud your way with words and just the way you've written these characters. It's lovely!

Ah, he's just biding his time.  Getting there, slowly but surely.  And "separating my writing"--just...  Maddie...  That's such a wonderful compliment.  Thank you.

Excuse you, Blainey Days is always cute ;)  Thank you!

hungrymonstersdarling said: *Bites knuckles* These men are so close to finally realizing they’re both miles of a cliff, jesus. So sexy, and so full of intimacy that transcends the sex, and I just want this verse forever. Great update!

GAH.  Thank you so much!!!

undefinedkosmos said: *gleeful shrieking*  I KNEW it. I had this unshakeable feeling last chapter that Blaine had to have been standing just around the corner in the maze. I’ve loved the pacing in this story right from the start, and the slow but all-consuming escalation here is delicious. The waiting may be frustrating as all hell, the boys will continue to do dumb things, I’m sure. Nonetheless, I am rolling around in the momentous building-up going on here.  uuuuugh this storyyyyyy.

Hee, you always guess!  ;)  The pacing is something I have, at times, struggled with.  So thank you for sticking with me, and for your lovely words as always! 

pyrofloss said: Unf. That latest chapter of Days. Damn, Mims.

otherwiseknownasillyria said: Oh fucking hell.  I need a cold shower now. Damn you Mimsy. Damn you and your word smithing.

branches-are-looking-at-me said: Oh my. Think I need a cigarette right now.

gay-braveheart said: Jesus Christ on a cracker Mims. And you say you can't write porn. *wolf whistles appreciatively*

Aw darling, thank you so much!  Your comments always mean so much to me and I could never thank you enough :)

doodlebrew said: That halo hangs on some horns, methinks.

You know it!  (You encourage it!)

jollycolfer said: You are so good at this, ugh. I love 100 Days. It is one of my favorite fics and every time you update I can just count on the fact that I'll enjoy it. WONDERFUL AS ALWAYS, MIMS. WONDERFUL.

Gah.  Thank you!

10points4dumbledore said: Alright, goddamnit Ms. Borogroves… This is it. This is the day. Nay! This is the moment. The moment that I finally confess my love of you and your work. I’ve been following your blog for kind of a long time, but have never let you know what a fan I am. I cannot say why I have hesitated, for by all accounts you are, perhaps, the most gracious person in all of tumblrdom. So, hi there. I think you are wonderful and I read everything you write. So there. *blushes and pushes send*

Getting this message absolutely made my day!  (And I've seen you around forever; I assumed you were one of the 98% that don't talk to me, hee!)  Thank you so much for such a lovely message--I can't tell you how much it made me grin when I was still all sleepy this morning!

thechristmascolf said: THAT CHAPTER WAS SO GOOD EVERYTHING IS SO PERFECT I'M WORRIED IT'S TOO PERFECT THERE'S TOO MANY CHAPTERS LEFT AND SO MANY BAD THINGS COULD HAPPEN I'M SCARED

Ah, but nothing is perfect right now!  Which is why things can only get better!  (Don't worry--there's nothing bad on its way in the near future!)

gay-braveheart said: WOW. I know it's a weird compliment but you write porn quite wonderfully.

CHEKOV IT'S NOT A WEIRD COMPLIMENT AT ALL I STRUGGLE SO MUCH WITH THE PORN SO I'M GLAD IT WAS OKAY FHDSJFHDSLFJDSLFKJSDLFJLDS THANK YOU!

undefinedkosmos said: *sniffles* teary eyes and full heart. glad I saved this one for a reward.

^_^ thank you, darling Kos!

branches-are-looking-at-me said: Can’t provide a coherent comment. Emotionally drained. It would be faster and less painful if I ripped my heart directly out of my chest and mailed it to you. (The reference to ‘Season of love’? Seriously? As if this chapter, as if this story, as if THESE BOYS weren’t draining enough). 

NO YOU *wiggles and shuffles awkwardly*  You always say such lovely, wonderful things to me, Little Pink!  I can't thank you enough.  And "feels like home" BRB WHILE I CRY.

jollycolfer said: TOBY AND ANDREW TOBY AND ANDREW TOBY AND ANDREW TOBY AND ANDREW TOBY AND ANDREW TOBY AND ANDREW TOBY AND ANDREW TOBY AND ANDREW OH GOD OH GOD AND KURT AND BLAINE AND //KURT// AND ARGH I HATE YOU SO MUCH!

Teehee!  I knew there'd be a handful of people excited to see those dorks again.  Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu love you toooooooo <3

undefinedkosmos said: *happy sigh* I often speed up my reading when I get excited or accidentally skip phrases sometimes, so I always get really happy when my pace syncs up with the music. With this story I pay extra attention to my reading speed :) both for the music and because I never want the story to end. What wouldn't I give to be in the room as they do that tango! I want to repeat my months-earlier comment all over this chapter (about visuals, soundtrack, this story and film/a miniseries)!  Though there is also something really special about this story in the written word.

Gah, Kos!  Thank you so much, darling!

lizinprogress said: ERHMAHGERD. Why must you slay me with an Argentine Tango, my very favorite and the one I’d like to actually witness either (or both) of those boys perform someday. GAH. So delicious. SO SO DELICIOUS.

Oh god, wouldn't it be the best ever?  It might kill us all.  Thank you, darling Liz!

dievampiredie said: Yay Toby and Andrew! The way you write the boys always feels like a dance to me, so to see them actually dancing just fits so well. One step at a time, they’re getting to the place they were always meant to be. Beautiful, as always, love.

:')  You always get it, Chelsea.  Thank you <3

gay-braveheart said: MIMS OH MY GOD. Toby and Andrew! That Tango! I'm bursting into flames. And I ship Toby and Andrew harder than I ever thought possible for OCs. It was honestly just a downright delicious read.

Teehee, that was the idea!  Thank you, darling Chekov.

yeah-the-trees said: Every week, I look forward to your "100 days" fic update more than I look forward to a new episode. Thanks for writing!

More than you look forward to an episode?  Oops!  Thank YOU for a lovely message!

jennatheobscure said: Andrew & Toby! They are so wonderful! And so are you, even if you’re killing me here! (I love it.)

I did have a sneeeeeeeaking suspicion that you didn't mind so much ;)  Thank you!

openinguptojoy1 said: Wow. This chapter had soooo much impact!!! Amazing, wonderful and fabulous, Mims! <3

Thank you, T!  <3

josephineblue said: I’d forgotten how much *fun* the Argentine tango can be with a true partner…

Gosh, isn't it just?  ;)

chemiglee said: This feels so intimate and sweet and gentle.  I really love it.

Mission accomplished!  Thank you!

candlesandcoffeeshops said: I swear to god I can taste this chapter.

*wiggles and flails some more*  Thank you <3

branches-are-looking-at-me said: This chapter gives a sweet taste of waking up (and this told by the girl who had fallen asleep against the heater a hour before the update. True story.)! And the analogy “dancing around each other / dancing for real”: delicious. Plus, my beloved “Erase/Rewind” for an Argentine tango? Amazing and natural in its oddity.

Gosh, I adore you.  Thank you so much!  (And yup--I got side-eyed by the wife for that pairing of music and dance, but doesn't it work well?)

nadiacreek said: Thanks to watching Amber Riley compete on Dancing With the Stars, I kind of sort of understand the dance section of this chapter. :)

EXCELLENT!

oopsibrokethefork said: Vienna Teng’s song “Harbor” hasn’t appeared yet in this fic, has it? Because after this chapter, I suddenly need it like burning, and I desperately hope this Kurt and Blaine have her music on their playlists. I actually went to some friends’ wedding in Maine last year, and “Harbor” was their first dance song, so… just saying, Kurt!
