Review:
It's been sixteen years since Dave Karofsky has seen Kurt Hummel. Since that time, Dave's become an FBI agent and Kurt has not become an art forger.

There's something to be said for post-canon stories that work, especially post-canon stories like this one. abusing_sarcasm has done a superb job of creating a future for both characters that is not only believable, but realistic. Dave Karofsky isn't the repressed high school bully we know him to be in this fic; he's a fully grown adult with responsibilities, an important job, and, most significantly, an adult's sense of remorse for being a hypocritical asshole confused jerk in high school. Kurt is similarly grown up, though there are plenty of echoes of his high school personality present and accounted for.

On the whole, while 'Glee' isn't one of my main (or even peripheral) fandoms, I absolutely fell in love with this story and highly recommend it if you're looking for a unique take on a unique pairing.
