Tears & Cookies

by RainySunnyEnding

On November 2nd 1993, a screaming baby was delivered. The proud parents named the tiny baby Blaine. Five months and six days previously, Elizabeth and Burt had held their baby boy. On May 27th 1993, Kurt was born. This story starts exactly twenty-three years after the first event. These two boys would grow up and love each other. This is the story of Tears and Cookies.

42. A Note

Hi.

Yes, it isn't an upload day. But I feel like I need to say this. Will you give me that? Just five minutes of your time.

Recent events in Tears & Cookies have been leading to one climax: Robert's death. Now, this is a death that I mentioned all the way back in chapter 15. It's a death I have been planning since I began writing the fourth chapter. It is a death I will be keeping in.

With recent events, I can understand fully if some of you do not wish to continue reading. If I were reading this fic, I would probably have stopped aged ago anyway, and this would just be the final straw. If you do, however, decide to continue, then be warned that there will be triggers. Robert is a character who has grown very close to me since I started writing, and I have tried to attach that same closeness to you. An aim of a writer is to cause their audience to feel. I wanted you to be upset at his death.

Unfortunately, it seems, my timing could not be worse. I apologise deeply to anyone who didn't know, but I have to say it now: Cory Monteith died on 13th July 2013, and though he will live on in our hearts forever, he shall be living in a place which is hopefully better, and hopefully where he shall learn to dance, where his smile will continue to grow. I am not religious, but I truly hope these things to be true.

So, really, this is a warning. To those who do not wish for a trigger in the next few weeks, do not continue to read. There will be no hard feelings whatsoever. Furthermore, the character of Finn will more than likely be making a reappearance. If that will hurt you, I shall give a warning before that chapter and you can chose not to read. Whatever happens to him in canon, I hope he will always live on through fanfiction as I know he will in our hearts and our memories.

Lastly, I am here. If you're feeling like this news has been the last straw for you, then I ask you to do one thing. Message me. I have twitter, I have fanfiction, I have my blog. Find me and message me, whichever way you feel it is best to use. Today has shown me how close our family is, and how other fandoms help each other in times of need. So talk. This is not the end. I promise you, together, this will get better.

Thank you for reading, and rest in peace Cory.
