You made me cry at Noah's leaving!
I am so glad you updated - I was starting to think the last chapter was going to be the end. Thank you!

I waited until my day off so I could take my time and thoroughly enjoy reading this. I love it. Can't stop smiling. I can't believe they made it a year apart. I hope you give us more glimpses into their freshmen year. It's had to be crazy. Did Noah ever visit? Oh so many questions. More please, when you can.

I will say up front that I have never read a Faberry fic before, and after reading this over the past three days, I honestly feel that I couldn't have chosen a better fic to start with.
Your character development is excellent, and I can imagine every character saying the things they do. I've read several Brittana fics, and people tend to write Brittany in a way that comes off as childish. I think you pretty much nailed Britany's character.
I was admittedly a little worried when I got to Chapter 60 and you said it would be epilogues from thereon out, with another 30 chapters to go, but they are really well done. My only gripe is the non-chronological order of them, but that's just a personal preference and no reflection on you as a writer.
I was never a fan of Faberry, but this fic totally converted me. The rest of the Faberry stories on here have a lot to live up to.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off back to Chapter 1 to start again.

I started reading this when there were only like 30ish chapters. Then I sort of stopped reading fanfiction for a while and recently got back into it. I started re reading this story and I'm only on chapter 9 I think so I have a long way to go but I love your writing and I love this fic. I think it's incredibly well written and while the 92 chapters is a little daunting I'm very much looking forward to it.

Seriously, I cried so many times during this chapter, I had to stop and read it when I was alone. Eric saying goodbye to Q wrecked me and just the development of Puck's character - brilliant.

I love you and thank you PROFUSELY! One, new chapter...so YAY! Two, why YES I had to reread this story because of new chapter...again. And three...oh, sweet merciful ZEUS three...The FIERCE Pezberry friendship you had here gave me LITERAL goosebumps. That is my weakness, you see...my kryptonite. Pezberry together? Sure. Faberry together? Absolutely! Faberittana together?! Yes please! But I love...I LOVE, j'tadore, non, j'taime FIERCEProtective!Santana in Pezberry friendship. And the scene where Santana went to Rachel's house to talk to her before they left was SO perfect! I LOVED it! I love this story and YOU are insanely talented! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Lol I'm guessing you've never been to Juilliard? I like your fics- they're well written and humorous. I would personally classify this one as a crack fic. Did you have this in mind when you first started writing?

I am so glad you updated. I loved this. I hope we can see more of them in college. I loved how this chapter kind of ping-ponged back and forth, but still made so much sense. I think it needed to do that. If you had told it all chronologically, it wouldn’t have the same resonance that it did. Now I wonder if you write it in order and switch it around, or if you actually just write these little vignettes as they come to you. Either way, it really works. There were so many great things in here that made me tear up or laugh out loud.
“We can totally have sleepovers and you can come up and I'll take the outside so you don't fall off, okay?"
God, I love Brittany. I was never a big fan of her from other stories, but you made me love her. She’s just so sweet and innocent and nice. It changed how I see her, and is probably the reason she and Santana are even in my story at all. Just the way you describe them both makes me like them and want to use them.
“It was black with the Big and Little Dipper stars perfectly emblazoned in gold across either side of the handle. She'd painted in exquisitely minute lettering around the bottom of the cup, I see them in the sky but Rachel is my only star.”
Wow, that was just beautiful. I like Quinn, as messed up as she is, being the poetic romantic one of the couple. And I know I’ve said this many times before, but I love the way you write. You also wrote one of my favorite poetic lines in a story (I copy and paste lines to a word document that I think are awesome or inspiring):
"So he's hitting on B?"
"Like lightning on a lone tree in a desolate prairie."
"Damn, S. That was almost poetic."
Something about that just got me. Just like you did with Brittany, you showed me a new side to Santana that a lot of people don’t often use. At least in Faberry stories, and to be fair, that’s what I’ve read the most of. I haven’t actually read any Brittana stories. I still need to do that, though I agree again with something you said a while back: I have to be careful they don’t take over my story (I really do mean this as a review for your story. I don’t mean to keep mentioning what I’m doing lol)
“He shaved his Mohawk off for the trip. Time to be a grown-up.”
I was wondering when it started. It seems like you did high school Puck and grownup Puck, but never in-between Puck. The girls? They’ve always been adults (mostly). Puck, though, he needed to go through some stuff to get there. I think this, letting go of his girls, was one of those things.
“We don't know what you're doing but we're bumping bagels!”
No reason for this. It just made me laugh a lot. Though I did love the fact that Santana was the one to give Rachel the pep talk. Brittany was right. Quinn would have done exactly what Britt said and felt sorry for Rachel. She wouldn’t have been able to reinforce how much of a star she was/was going to be.
“If I was desperate in prison and Rob was in my cell-block, I'd hit that if he'd let me. I mean, I'd never force a brotha.”
Same reason. It just had me laughing really hard. I love that Puck can be ‘one of the girls’ and joke about hooking up with a guy yet still be all macho. You made him a great character, too. Go you! Also, thanks for bashing Twilight. It made me love you a little. I’ve never seen the movies, but I have read the first book. I’ve literally read fan fiction that was better and had a better story. For something like that to be published… I don’t even know how that happens. And then, for people to go nuts over it like they did? I really don’t understand why stuff that’s popular is actually popular. I have to imagine that most of it is marketing.
“Be mean to me if you have to because I'm Teflon but do it privately or it'll suck for you guys like you can't put your minds around if you do it in front of them."
I guess it’s only appropriate to end with Brittany since I started this review with her. Again, so nice to give people a warning. About picking on her, about Rachel talking so much, about Santana and Quinn. And I love the way you worded it: “it’ll suck for you guys like you can’t put your minds around”. Truer words have never been spoken. And I guess this warning ties into what Quinn and Santana did at their dorm. I didn’t know how long it was going to take, but I knew it would happen. I love the way Santana and Quinn go about cutting people down. Santana’s are all blunt and painful, but Quinn is like a surgical strike. She gets down into your very soul and hurts you. I think she just understands people like no one else, even if it’s only what they’re most insecure about. You know, in another world, she probably would have made an excellent therapist.
Again, let me just say how much I love this story, this chapter, and you for updating. This is one of my favorite stories ever, and it’s clear to see why so many people love it. Good job. Until next time, I am patiently waiting for the next update.

Ahhh, you're back! And with such a great Pezberry conversation! 3 I didn't realize how much I missed this fic until I read words like "hobbs", "pony", "eight-pack" and "shellfish". I'm so impressed with your writing and the consistency of your story. Every character, relationship and friendship is well developed, every storyline seems to be perfectly outlined. Sentences like "They didn't even know what to think about Brittany's talent but knew with one song there was only one true star among them." are just so typically "It's Not Like I Wanted This To Happen", it makes me want to applaud you! So... APPLAUSE!
