Only Ones Who Know

Determinism. The idea has been around for centuries, millenia. The idea that everything is predetermined, that free will doesn't exist, that if, somehow, you know all of the factors, you can know everything that will happen. Before they even met, Kurt knew exactly how his relationship with Blaine would happen. And no matter how much he wanted to, he couldn't change it.

Read this on a blog.... BEAUTIFUL AND I CRIED. MY GAWD.

This had me crying for almost half an hour after I had read it. It's.. I have no words, but it's just really beautiful.

This is just beautiful, I've read it three times today and I'm not quite sure that I want to stop. This story is both heartbreaking and hauting, It is difficult to recall a tale I have previously read with such a beautifully bleak atmosphere. It is simply tragic how powerless the characters in this story are, how they cannot fight fate desipte the fact that it is something they have considered doing. Kurt realises that he is not strong enough to defy his foretold future, a moment which is like a sigh of sadness, breathing life into the remainder of the story, it acts as a catalyst for the inevitable. I felt so sad when Kurt ended his marriage with Blaine, purely because Blaine accepted it. He didn't fight, not really, once he knew that Kurt had been told of what would happen. Their love was not stronger than the unspoken powers of fate, it makes them seem so weak, yet so human, it gives the sense that they are just so small in this world of tragedy, where ignorance seems the only plausible refuge from the bleakness of destiny and knowledge. You handle inevitability so well in this story, but what I loved was that you didn't equate inevitability with predictability. Despite Kurt knowing that he will meet Blaine on the stairs, he cannot anticipate how this will feel and the truth of his emotion makes the story even more tragic, it humanises Kurt, because he becomes so involved in a life that he knows cannot last forever. Kurt's life, in this story proves that life is more than just the bare facts of inevitability, that there are so many emotions and urges that define us. The ending is inevitable, and so beautiful, even though Kurt's selflessness was pre-ordained it still seems so touching, that he puts Blaine's future happiness before an additional three years of love and joy...years that would have been tainted by the day he always knew was coming. Thank you so much for writing this, I look forward to reading more of your work...I'm sorry if this review was a bit of a rant, it's the first one I've ever written, so I wasn't sure how much to say!

Oh my god, that was good, hearbreakingly sad, but good. I love your writing style :)

I love this so, so much. So beautifully writen, yet so heartbreaking. Keep it up, you're so freaking talented! ;)

This is fantastic. Sorry I'm craptastic at reviews, but I really feel this story deserves more. I love it

I've just registered only to let you know how much I love this story. Frankly, I hardly ever cry and I don't think I ever cried after reading something, regardless of how touching it could have been. But now... I'm really, really moved and I CAN'T stop crying. Your story was so heart-wrenching that at first (just after I finished reading this) I even regretted starting it. Gosh, I'm in horrible state right now - and I blame you, your amazing style and your stunning skills to introduce the story. I really feel sorry for both Kurt and Blaine in this. Especially for Kurt - because it would be devastating indeed, to know your own future. To know that you really have no choice, no way of overcoming you destiny. It's creepy, it's psychodelic and had I possessed such a knowledge I would definitely go insane. I've already read your other stories and I hope you'll write something soon, preferably something less angsty since I don't want to spend the rest of my life in tears. Sirill PS. Sorry for any mistakes - English isn't my first language.

Wow.

OH MY GOD. SOBBING. HOW COULD YOU? BEAUTIFUL. JUST BEAUTIFUL.

I am honestly crying right now.Amazing job with this. Now I'm gonna go hide in corner and sob some more.

Well, that was the most depressing thing ever.
