...Just wow. I've just read all of this in one go. I love your style and all the small attention to detail was perfect. I liked that you didn't have it all perfectly wrapped up at the end, that there was interpretation for the reader (ie we don't know exactly how the relationship with Santana's parents turned out, it had just realistically improved and there was the beginning hint of Santana's career) which I always love.

I really injoyed this, and I'm off to read some more of your writting...well, it's midnight and I'm in the middle of exams so...soon I'm off to read some more of your writting!

This story continues to be one of my favorites in the Glee fandom. It's supremely well crafted and the character development is lovely. I come back to it time and time again.

Great story! Loved how Santana gets a record deal at the end there.

This fic is amazing. Definitely a pleasant surprise that I managed to bump into it. I was completely hooked from beginning to end. First off, you're an amazing writer. I loved how you handled rachel and santana. Even with all the drama and the situations they were put in, they were both still very in character. I also loved the added element of bringing Santana's family into the picture. I honestly wasn't expecting rachel to call them. And the whole scene of when they finally meet was so realistically done, it was absolutely heartbreaking to read. The only thing I would change in this story, is that I really wished Santana and Rachel would have bonded a bit more before having sex and the whole shit-storm of drama that followed. I feel like it would have made their feelings for each other seem more powerful. But anyway, great fic! I hope you keep writing for a long time. Oh, and the sex scenes were hoooooooooooot lol

Don't finish there! What happens with Sybil and the record deal? I'm so curious as to how everything progresses! Please say that there is a sequ somewhere or at the very least in the works? Really loved it.

So this is my second time reading this fic and I don't know why I'm doing this to myself! I wanted to find the story again because I remembered it being so good but I forgot how EMOTIONAL it is! This chapter is so sad and angsty it tears me up. I mean, it's amazing, really truly amazing, one of my favourite Pezberry fics, but my little shipper heart just breaks for both of them right here.

I'm a glutton for punishment I guess ;) but if loving angsty fic is wrong, I don't want to be right!

!

the epilogue was my favorite, I think.

Amazing story!

You're a very good writer :)

Loved this story

Thanks for giving me chills. I still know why I just read this story, because a couple of hours ago the thought of waitress-Rachel meeting Stripper-Santana seemed to be way out there, but now I have a relieved grin on my face. First of all thanks for the lyrics you chose for each chapter. I like Fleetwood Mac, because a friend of mine introduced me years ago and it felt like catching up on old times. It set a really good tone for the story.

As unlikely as this story seems I could find the original characters there, that made all the difference. Yes, Rachel will always be the bigger person and she would so help an old "friend" out, even if High School wasn't all roses. I think it's the few sentences in which you explain senior year. In this set-up Santana was broken before she even reached New York and that was a wise choice. I try to imagine that phase in more detail, but it was enough to get the point across. Rachel saw that and knows about the more vulnerable side. The pole-line from "Silly Love Songs" has always made me wonder, what Rachel would say if that ever came true, now I have my answer (of course now "Glee" has had an official stripper "story", so...).

I liked the way you changed the POV throughout, it was good getting both sides and I do understand the thoughts and choices. I could sympathize a lot. The insecurities both of them have, about their own life, about any kind of feelings for each other... If I had to say anything was missing from this story, I'd say I wish to get a dialogue where they try to analyze their path, including High School years, but you touched on some of that. Thanks especially for having Kurt in this at the end. He is so sweet and the Twitter thing seemed very believable (you get bonuspoints for actually using the name Pezberry). Will anyone hear the whole story sometime soon? I can't imagine that, it's so painful and intimate and a bit messed up (okay, a lot), but I think if those two show up at a reunion, everyone will see that they're in a better place together. Plus, it's priceless that Santana got to stamp Finn's and Rachel's V-Cards. That would make for good catching up.

I really don't know what to say about the stripping, the johns or the overdose. It was intense and I liked reading that, the struggle, low self-esteem, spiraling down... it felt raw. Because of all the angst I can't even roll my eyes at the fairytale ending here. Oh, you were way too good describing the Karma routine (love the stripper names btw), the song choice alone... the way the guys get turned on, which disgust Santana opposite to the reaction Rachel has to this (with honest feelings), was superb.

For years and years due to movies and TV I've been exposed to a lot of US brands, that I never think about too much. And for the first time ever I feel a craving for Lucky Charms...

Wow. Just - wow. I had no idea what to expect from this story but it is AMAZING!

That was fantastic, I loved it.

Okay loved the story but there was still alot of the story left untold. I do hope you end up with a sequel cause so many questions are untold. I still want to know what happens with their carriers or if they get married and start a family and what the other glee clubbers think of all this. Like reactions to Kurt's tweet of the red alert. I did love the story and hope to see more from you.

I loved this! :D It was fantastic!

Howdy - I just discovered this story today and had the luck not to have to rush to work...so I read it from start to finish. It is one I enjoyed thoroughly and look forward to reading others when I have the time.
