This is an amazing fic. For some reason, Will and Rachel just squicks me. I don't know why - I'm all over Will/Finn, and I've enjoyed Will/Quinn, But Will and Rachel... I think that until now no one has ever written the pairing right for me - gotten the balance of Rachel striving to be an adult while still being charmingly childish, Will wanting to help his students and skirting that line between appropriate and ohgodsowrong as far as possible before tipping over the edge. The build up and the gentle change in the feel of their interaction was wonderful, and your description throughout the fic - the scene where Mr Schue hugs Rachel and she pulls away, and you describe the marks she's made on his shirt and against his neck. That was perfect.
