This was really beautifully done. The overall structure of it was as envisioned, but the details were unexpected and rang really true to the characters. From Rachel's campaign for a flag line to her sunshine yellow dress to her graduating salutatorian and ending up at a performing arts school in Pittsburgh... it was all so on-point.

I particularly loved the section where Rachel thinks back on Finn's abandonment, because that has been quite the sticking point with me on the show.

The angst was subtle, but hit me hard, so I was pleased to find that hopeful yet organic ending. The last line was just gold.

Thank you so much for this lovely piece.
