Oh, yes.

I don't think I've read a "Glee" fic featuring Will and I'm glad I waited because this one was perfect.

I loved it. Loved everything about it.

I love you well you show Quinn's pain, her regret, her bitterness, even her jealousy, yet cap it off with a huge dose of hope. All she's needed is someone to believe in her and Will provides that, no questions asked and no judgments rendered. I think I'm projecting a bit because I'm a high school teacher myself, and this is exactly what I try to give to my students: patience and love and acceptance. While I don't take them home with me, I do try to give them the same guidance a parent offers. I love how you show Will providing all this for Quinn and how much she thrives under the attention. She's being loved for who she is and that's all she really needs. It's such an important lesson she can transfer to her daughter as well and finally raise a Fabray who doesn't hate herself.

I love how Mr. Schue thrives as well and becomes the kind of teacher he strives to be but too often fails to at His mistakes are smaller and his achievemeents are greater. He stops playing favorites and starts loving all of them, even the toughest ones, equally. I really liked how Quinn could see the similarities between him and Finn, two really good but flawed people, and how much Finn emulates him by loving the baby long after he knows she's not really his.

Although, I think my favorite part was Quinn seeing her mother and realizing that no matter how far she's fallen she still has so much going for her.

Can you tell that I loved this? I can't stay away from fics full of platonic love.
