And Blaine Brings Him Flowers Because It's A Date Even Though They Think It's Not

Or, 5 times Kurt didn’t realize the flowers meant Blaine was into him, and 1 time he did.

Surprise! A gift for @worththejourneying for the @klainesecretsanta2023

Read it on AO3 or FFN!

Hello Klainers!

Sorry for the late start, but yes there is a

December Klaine Fanworks Challenge!!!

(Brought to you by the @klaineadvent blog.)

Once again, this will be a 21 day challenge! Hopefully giving everyone time to complete the event before other obligations kick in, or time to catch up if you like.

The Dates. December 1 - December 21 

The Words. Every day around 6am, US Eastern Standard Time, a fresh new word will pop out of the queue. This year the words are not alphabetical, and were chosen by a random word generator. We’ve got a pair of wonderful artists this year working up the slides, so say a big thanks to @mynonah and @justasmallbloginabigklainefandom!  They both did AMAZING work on a very last minute schedule! 

Keep in mind that a lot of words have many definitions, and the one listed is only a suggestion. Feel free to incorporate any definition you like. Also - we often get asked if it has to be the exact version of the word listed - and while I’m not the word police and you can do what works for you, isn’t part of the fun making it work? 

How to participate. Anyone can contribute, no need to sign up! There will be a single word prompt post each day for 21 days (December 1-21). You can write a drabble (or a sentence or a novel, if you like), create an art piece, make fresh gifs based on the prompt - whatever inspires you! This year the tag will be: “december klaine challenge 2024” and please tag with the word of the day so volunteers can ID the posts they need to reblog (please please please make sure all of your contributions are tagged so we can find them!). 

Contribute however works best for you. You can do something every day, every 4th day, once a week, altogether at the end, whatever works for you and your schedule. Use all the prompts or pick and choose what speaks to you. Set your own challenges. The only requirements for the Challenge are that it be Klaine centered, and that it references or uses one the word (or theme) prompt in some way.

Volunteers will be reblogging fics to the @todaydreambelieversfic blog, so you can always go scroll the blog to find the latest entries.  Of course everyone (especially the authors!) would be delighted if people reblogged to their own blog - the more people who reblog something the wider the potential viewing audience. We want to encourage everyone to reblog as many fics as they like all throughout the month!!

Partnership. This year again we’ll be partnering with @todaydreambelieversfic.  Authors and other creators for the December Klaine Fanworks Challenge who would like an additional place to promote their works are welcome to join as members. Just send a private message to @todaydreambelieversfic with your email address and they’ll add you to the blog membership.

Archive of Our Own. We have created a collection on AO3 for those people who don’t post to tumblr, and where those folks who do post to tumblr can share their advent works if you like! You can find this collection here!

Want to Volunteer? We can always use people to help with the daily reblogs!  If you can spare one or two days please signup here!! If you are not already a member of the @todaydreambelieversfic blog, just message them with your email and you’ll be added!

“But what if I don’t write or make art and don’t have time to volunteer?”  You are the most important person in the Challenge!! Read the fics, look at the art, let the authors and artists know how much you appreciate their work by reblogging and commenting and liking and all those things creators like. Nothing helps a writer or artist losing steam get motivated more than a nice comment from someone. 

I think that covers everything, so if you have any questions or there’s something that’s not clear, please ask! 

Happy Writing!!

2024 Writing Round-Up

It's the last SSS/WW for the year and I have nothing to share, since I finished Ever After and am not itching to start something new (and I'm back on my Persona bullshit). Luckily, @that-disabled-princess tagged me in this writing round-up, so I am doing that instead. Please enjoy my bespoke banner.

I posted 10 works on AO3, with three being WIPs. I have published 85,165 words in 2024. Oh boy, let's get into it under the cut

I did actually publish stuff in January and February, but those were multichaptered things, and I am putting the works in the months I finished them/last updated them.

So, with that said, let's start in March!

MARCH 🪻

February Friday Event 2024 (Radio Silence, gen, WIP)

I have written 2 of the 4 prompts for the February Friday event. I started the other two, but I just.... haven't finished them. I should. I liked what I have written for it. Completing this fic wasn't a priority and it shows. Oof.

吃了吗? (Glee, Tike, 1.564 words)

Part of the series that explores the Asianness in Glee, and yes, it was me projecting on Tina again. Tina feels disconnected from her Korean heritage due to her adoption. Oop. I really, really liked this one and I think it's one of the best titles of the year. Yes, the title is Chinese, not Korean, since it mostly takes place in a Chinese restaurant. Mutual, 你吃饭了吗？

APRIL ❤️

All of me loves all of you (Class, Charlie/Matteusz, 2.598 words)

A story idea that I have had for years and I'm glad I finally wrote it down. Charlie is an alien, gasp! And he only looks human. In this fic, he shows Matteusz his alien self and reflects on his human disguise. I'm really, really happy with this one and it's one of the reasons that my love for Class reawakened this year.

MAY 🌻

Just Some Guy (Carry On, Snowbaz + Matt/Leslie, 15.664 words)

HONESTLY ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I HAVE EVER WRITTEN, if I may so myself. It's Snowbaz's 7.25's canon years at Watford from the perspective of someone who doesn't give a shit about them. I fucking love this fic. I fucking love MCD (Matt Christopher Davis) and I loved writing how disinterested he is in the whole Chosen One shenanigans. It makes for a fun fic, but it also makes sense if you look at the state of the world. So many people keep living ordinary lives while weird shit happens, and MCD is just ordinary. He's just some guy.

JULY 🌼

Find My Way (Legally Blonde, gen, 1.358 words)

I was on a Christian Borle binge during the summer, so I rewatched the musical Legally Blonde and this fic is a missing scene. Vivian realises what is happening and decides to break up with Warner and back-up Elle. I think it's neat.

OCTOBER 😺

What's in the name? (Glee, multi, WIP)

The first multichaptered installment of my Asianness in Glee series and it's all about names. It's partially me trying to make sense of some of Glee's choices, and me lifting from my life again. I have published Wes and Yu-Jin's and Tina's chapters. The one for Blaine is not written and I have started the one with Mike and Tina. I'm struggling with the latter, especially since I don't really understand Mike's circumstances either.

Ljubili se (Glee, Klaine, WIP)

Ah, yes, the fic that I love but also regret. I've started it for the 2023 Klaine December Challenge. I am just stuck on it, even though I have cool stuff written for it. I just don't know what to do with this one, to be honest. I want to finish it, but I have also realised that I don't like writing it anymore because I am so stuck on it. I am waiting for the inspiration to strike and for my passion to be re-ignited, because do I regret it? I also like writing it when I am writing it. And I am excited to share what I have for later chapters. There's a lil moment where Cooper tries to flirt with Denise and Quinn and Blaine are standing there like🧍‍♀️🧍‍♂️. I will see where this fic will take me, I guess.

The Mars fic (Glee, Klaine, 56 words)

An inside joke that is a sequel to an inside joke! BOOP! I peaked here.

DECEMBER 🕯️

All's fair in love and war (Class, Charlie/Matteusz + Matteusz & Quill, 16.646 words)

The story that deserves better, since it has, like, 9 hits, but hey, that is what happens when you write for a small fandom. Which is a shame, cause this is also one of the best things I have written this year and I also enjoyed it a lot. I loved delving into the morality of the show Class through Matteusz, who is a middle man in-between two people with extreme conflicting opinions. And he loves both of them. Please watch Class, and read my fic after that!

Ever After (Glee, Klaine, 30.624 words)

The fic for the 2024 Klaine December Fanworks Challenge, which I did finish! Blaine is living in the kingdom of Daltonia, and Kurt is stranded in this place, so Blaine tries to help him get home.... to another world. I had a lot of fun, especially since I stopped Ljubili se for it, and it reminded how much I love writing Klaine. I also liked my world building here. I just think it is neat. I really enjoyed this one. I think I left some things open, since I didn't have room for more, but December was Ever After thought almost 24/7.

A Theater Ballad

Firstly, I am so sorry for the extreme delay in posting this!

This is my Klaine Secret Santa story for @special-bc-ur-part-of-it. Thank you for being so understanding about the delay. My December/January has been quite stressful but writing this for you was such a joy! I hope you like it :)

Chapter 1 is up, with the rest to follow over the next few weeks :)

A huge thank you to my friend and beta reader @ultimateturniplord and also @klainesecretsanta2024 for organising this event! I feel so lucky to have joined this lovely fandom!

Summary: Blaine Anderson always looks forward to his mother's annual holiday party, only a chance encounter with an up-and-coming Broadway star leaves him feeling shaken. But, he is determined not to let it ruin his night. After all, it is not as if he will ever see him again. Right?

Klaine Valentine's Challenge 2025: Day 2

Faith

Notes: For this challenge I'm writing snippets in my Mediator!Klaine AU. More info here. This is the final scene from the first arc/story of the AU. Enjoy!

Kurt was getting out of his car outside his house when Blaine reappeared.

“She’s gone,” he said.

“Yep,” Kurt agreed, not questioning how Blaine already knew. No matter how long he spent around ghosts, he would never completely understand how all their spiritual abilities worked. Sometimes they could just sense that kind of thing, through the astral plane or whatever.

“You did a good job,” Blaine told him. In the moonlight, his dark hair looked bluish.

Kurt shrugged, leaning against the driver’s side door. “It turned out so well because you showed up,” he said. “I don’t want you to get in the habit of completely ignoring my requests, but…thanks, for intervening. I didn’t have much faith in her, but your way was better.”

“I just wanted to give her options,” Blaine said softly. “If she hadn’t listened, then you still would have had to go through with your…” He trailed off.

“Exorcism,” Kurt supplied. He wondered if all ghosts found the word distasteful.

Blaine hummed noncommittally. 

“You know,” Kurt said cautiously. “You gave Santana quite a persuasive speech about the need to move on to find peace, and all that.”

“I did my best.”

“So then…” Kurt steeled himself. He was both itching with curiosity and afraid of the answer. “Why haven’t you moved on? It doesn’t seem like there’s anyone still around who you’d need to make your peace with. Why not follow your own advice?”

Blaine looked away from him, facing towards the darkness of the horizon, where Kurt knew the ocean lay down the hill even if it was too dark to see now. The breeze rustled in the leaves of the oak trees above them. Kurt could feel his heart beating, and he wondered if Blaine could hear it.

“It’s late,” Blaine said finally, turning back to Kurt. “You should get some sleep.”

Kurt scoffed. “Way to dodge the question.”

A smile twitched at Blaine’s lips. “Good night, Kurt.” And then he was gone. Kurt sighed. Typical ghost behavior.

He sneaked back into the house and trudged upstairs, physically and emotionally exhausted. His mind couldn’t settle as he got ready for bed, going over the events of the past few hours.

He’d warned Blaine to stay away from the school that night because he didn’t want him to get caught up in the exorcism and sent to the Great Beyond against his will. Part of that was Kurt’s mediator senses, knowing that the best outcome would be for Blaine to resolve whatever was keeping him here, to make the choice to move on, just like Santana had tonight. 

But the truth was…a bigger part of his motivation was selfishness. He didn’t want Blaine to disappear from this realm of existence because he liked Blaine. If he thought about how much he liked Blaine, he started getting heart palpitations.

Dead people and living people can’t be together, he’d told Santana only hours ago. It just doesn’t work like that.

Now, he needed to take his own advice. Because no matter how hard he’d tried to fight against it, he could feel how easy it would be for him to fall in love with the ghost of Blaine Anderson.

Kurt had to avoid that tragedy at all costs.

Hi everyone! <3

It seems like the last few months of the year will be full of awesome events in fandom, so before I do anything I'd like to ask you all if you still have interest/capacity for Klaine Secret Santa this year? Unfortunately, @quizasvivamos doesn't have time for doing this lovely event this year due to her other commitments, but if you're interested, I'd be happy to organize it with @esilher's help.

Love in Later Chapters (1/14) -

A Klaine Story

Hello and welcome to this fun journey.

This is my first time participating in a Klaine event and I am very excited. It will be a challenge for me to write spontaneously to the daily song prompts, I usually write rather slowly and edit each chapter three times. I also hope there won't be too many mistakes as I'm not a native speaker, so I hope you can forgive me. I'll try to incorporate lyrics from the songs into the story, let's see if I succeed :)

A short note about the schedule: I will stick to the challenge until February 7th and try to post every day. After that I will be on vacation, and I will continue when I am back. But I will definitely finish this story!

And now to the first song prompt: Kylie Minogue - Padam Padam

Summary:

Blaine, starting a new chapter after his divorce, decides to explore new territory by learning a new sport he's been curious about. His goal is to regain his confidence and find new joy. Little does he know that it will open the door to a remarkable new connection and bring someone new into his life. Part of the Klaine Valentine’s Challenge 2024

best klaine fic you’ve ever read?

Hmmm, this is a hard question because I hate to say one piece of fanfiction is the /best/. It's also kind of like asking which book is your favorite - idk. (I do have a favorite book, it's Lord of the Rings, but that's not something I reread for fun all the time, you know?)

I also haven't read much Klaine fanfic in the last five-ish? years so I'm sure I'm missing out on some wonderful stories.

Personally, though, the one that's resonated with me the most over the years (and this is completely a predictable answer as I give it a lot) is Misqueue's Scenes During the Break Up. I think she gets both characters incredibly well, and there's a beauty and maturity to her writing that I've always enjoyed. And this collection is just so gut wrenching in a lot of ways, but also still satisfying, and still acknowledging of the deep feelings bubbling underneath. Reading her fic felt like reading an art form over reading just fun fic.

I should also add - it helped me understand and kind of deal with the events of canon in a way that made me feel better about what happened. It was so gut wrenching going through that when it aired that to have fiction help you kind of work through it was so helpful.

[aurumjank]

I need someone to write Glee AU where Pavarotti is alive. I mean, can you imagine the changes this little event could make? Like, Kurt wouldn't sing Blackbird dedicating it to Pav → Blaine wouldn't realise his feelings → Blaine wouldn't transfer to McKinley → Kurt would be more likely to get the role of Tony → Kurt would have more credits for his application and might get in NYADA for the fall semester etc. There's so many possibilities! Any ship could happen and all because little bird stayed alive 🤯

Klaine could still happen, but differently.

Kurt could move on from Blaine and become closer with other Warblers and/or Dalton students and maybe start dating someone else. This could also lead to Kurt staying at Dalton.

Kurt coming back to McKinley single, which opens a lot of opportunities for Hevans, Kurtofsky, Puckurt etc. (for each their own)

When in season 3, there's Kurtbastian and Chandler/Kurt - not necessary romantic relationships, but friendships as well. And Blaine might transfer to McKinley or stay at Dalton (there's also a possibility for Seblaine in the background - I'm not a fan, but for each their own). Kurt might be still in close contact with Warblers or they could go completely separate ways.

Blaine staying at Dalton makes it possible for Kurt to get the role of Tony and get more solos, which means he has bigger chances of being accepted in NYADA.

And then season 4, where if Kurt is single there's Kadam and it can start earlier. And Vogue could or could not happen in this timeline. As well as Kurt and Rachel living together and Santana joining them.

And then Kurt's band in season 5. Elliott and Dani could still be there, but their meetings might change. Kelliott is a possibility. Kurt might impress June this time or still not make her think he has a potential. He could meet Maggie and perform as Peter Pan or not.

And then the 6th season - it could become a completely different story!

I just had to share this thought because it was haunting me for months now 😅 I even made a list of some of the possible storylines up until the end of season 3. But I'm not a writer and so I'm sharing this so anyone could use the idea(s). Just, if someone gets inspired by this and writes something, please send me the link to the story! 💜

Hi I actually have more of a general question for fanfiction writers and readers and I didn't know where else to reach many people?

I'm new to the Klaine fandom and had an idea to write an AU story myself where a very specific event happened in Blaine's past. Looking through your block, however, I've now found two stories with that exact premise. Now I'm unsure if I should still write my idea or if everyone will think I stole my idea. It's really a specific event and not a general trope.

If the question absolutely does not fit your blog, just ignore it :)

I would say as a reader, absolutely go ahead and write your version of the event. It's always great to see different interpretations of their story. Plus it'll be in your style of writing, and you'll bring to it your own personal way of looking at it. Writing it is important for you as well, particularly if it's something you enjoy and want to develop. So do write it, no one will think you stole the idea.

Thanks for your ask! ~Jen

[kurtsascot]

thank you @rockitmans for the tag <3

this year was kind of a rollercoaster. im definitely in a transitionary period of my life right now, and its simultaneously exciting and terrifying, but, more than anything else, im so grateful that this year i decided to get back into writing again, and, im very glad that, in the spur of the moment, i decided to make a tumblr over the summer and join this fandom more actively. i have loved participating in the events and talking to people all over the world. i never want to leave !!

klainepolls has also been a such fun project with @carsonphillips … shes so funny and makes me laugh so hard. we talk to each other nearly every day at this point and its been so lovely to have an internet friend !!!!!

but anywayyyy heres an excerpt from klaine!clueless au, klueless, ugh as if!, whatever we want to call this sucker…… and im not going to lie, ive been having fun googling 90s terms and trying to weave them into this guy. (its not six sentences but i seriously doubt you guys will be mad about that)

and, theres still news about something unrelated coming tuesday :^)

“Hey Dad?”

“Mm?”

“Can we talk?”

Burt raises his head, his reading glasses hanging low on his nose. “Sure.” He sets his pile of envelopes to the side, on his mahogany end table and one of Elizabeth’s lace doilies. “What’s up, bud?”

Kurt worries his lip in between his teeth.

Burt’s eyes get a little wider. He takes off his glasses and sets them over top the pile of stationary. “What’s up?” He repeats as his eyes search Kurt’s face. “Is someone giving you trouble at school?”

“No.” Kurt turns to face him, shifts his one leg under himself, his other bent and hanging off the edge of the couch. “Did you ever have a problem that you couldn’t argue your way out of?”

Burt snakes his hand over the back of the couch. He looks down at his lap, and, calm yet firm, presses, “Tell me the problem, and we’ll figure out how to argue it.”

Wrong direction. That’s not- Kurt sighs. “No. It’s… It’s about a boy.”

WIP Wednesday/ Six Sentence Sunday Dinner Combo meal

Ok . . . Life is crazy here but I noticed a few lovely people have tagged me in past WIP Wednesdays and Six Sentence Sundays and I'm so flattered that you did. Never meant to ignore it - just always looked at it, said, oh I'll do that - and then life got away from me. and I, um forgot - so sorry!

So here's just a bit of a writing dump then as a belated thanks to :

@forabeatofadrum , @wordsofhoneydew , @thnxforknowingme ,@myheartalivewrites . . and crap if I've forgotten anyone, I'm sorry!

Oooh and @rockitmans and @shame-is-a-wasted-emotion , thank you for tagging me today!

*********

I'll give you two bits of writing for the price of one ( for 2 different fandoms: Klaine and RWRB) because you all are so lovely . .

1.) From my current Klaine WIP (If I Can Make Your Heart My Home)

 Slowly Blaine wandered into the back of the room trying to track down his coat, cringing slightly that every person at the event seemed to have the same identical outerwear. “Leaving so soon?” Blaine whipped around, seeing Sebastian in the doorway staring at him. “Yes,” Blaine said tiredly, “I think it’s time for me to go.” Sebastian took a step into the room, his confidence oozing off of him. “Now we can’t have that.” he told Blaine with a grin. “And why not?” “Because it wouldn’t look good for you to leave without your date.” “This isn’t a date, Sebastian. “ Blaine sighed.  “I thought I made myself clear when this night started.  Not a date . . It’s just an. . .” “Arrangement, whatever, “ said Sebastian nonchalantly.  He waved his hands about dismissively.  “Call it what you want, I don’t care.”  Took another few steps closer to Blaine and causally leaned against one of the coat racks. “But I do have an image to uphold.”

2.) Here is the start of a spy fic that's rattling around in my head that would be a RWRB/firstprince fic .

Tentatively named, "Shaken, Not Stirred". This is inspired by a great piece of artwork by @noodles-and-tea

NOTE: In my research employees of the CIA are actually referred to as "officers" not "agents" like they do in the movies. So, right now I have the characters referred to as such - I'm debating to just chuck that aside and go the Hollywood route and call them all agents.

“What in the everloving fuck?!” “You heard me.” Officer Alexander Claremont-Diaz stopped in the middle of his rant, his mouth agape and seriously hoping his hearing had been effected by his recent stint at the shooting range. Yeah, he wore the appropriate ear protection. . .most of the time.   But what the hell? “You’re joking, right?  You must be joking, Zee.”  Opposite him, his direct superior, Senior Operations Officer Zahra Bankston sat, cool, calm, and eerily still: like a viper waiting to strike.  Her head slowly raised from the black leather portfolio she was reviewing.  Her eyes narrowed and her expression . . .well if Alex believed that looks really could kill . .  .then from that 3 second glance alone he would have been eviscerated, the minuscule pieces sealed in concrete and then dumped somewhere in the Potomac River.   Alex swallowed loudly at realizing his mistake ( REMINDER: never, ever try informal talk with the head of your division, especially this department head) and shrunk yet so slightly lower in his seat. “I do not joke.  Not about this.  Not about my job.”

[klaineadvent]

Hello Everyone!

This is a long one, so apologies in advance! 

You may notice the Klaine Advent looking a little different this year! As noted in an earlier post, we’re rebranding to the December Klaine Fanworks Challenge!

There are a handful of reasons we’re doing this, but hopefully this little refresh will get people excited about participating all the way to the end. For consistency this year this event will remain attached to the Klaine Advent blog, and we’ll determine after the event whether we need to change that in the future.

So, how are things changing? 

There will be still be a daily word (yay!), these are chosen via a random word generator, and are NOT themed in any way. These words will post on this blog every day around 6 am Eastern Standard TIme.

That said! Since it is December, and Glee comes with a Christmas episode every year, and Klaine do have a Christmas duet tradition (more years than not anyway…) we will also be posting a weekly theme! These will be holiday flavored, and we are kicking off this inaugural event with the theme of Christmas Songs. Each weekly themed post will highlight a different song and some selected lyrics.

On to the details!

The Dates. December 1 - December 21 

The Words. Every day around 6am, US Eastern Standard Time, a fresh new word will pop out of the queue. This year the words are not alphabetical, and were chosen by a random word generator. The wonderful @caramelcoffeeaddict did all of the artwork again this year!

How to participate. Anyone can contribute, no need to sign up! There will be a single word prompt post each day for 21 days (December 1-21), and a holiday themed post every Friday beginning December 1, with the final themed post dropping December 22. You can write a drabble (or a sentence or a novel, if you like), create an art piece, make fresh gifs based on the prompt - whatever inspires you! This year the tag will be: “december klaine challenge 2023” and please tag with the word of the day so volunteers can ID the posts they need to reblog (please please please make sure all of your contributions are tagged so we can find them!). 

Contribute however works best for you. You can do something every day, every 4th day, once a week, altogether at the end, whatever works for you and your schedule. Use all the prompts or pick and choose what speaks to you. Set your own challenges. The only requirements for the Challenge are that it be Klaine centered, and that it references or uses one the word (or theme) prompt in some way.

Volunteers will be reblogging fics to the @todaydreambelieversfic blog, so you can always go scroll the blog to find the latest entries.  Of course everyone (especially the authors!) would be delighted if people reblogged to their own blog - the more people who reblog something the wider the potential viewing audience. We want to encourage everyone to reblog as many fics as they like all throughout the month!!

Partnership. This year again we’ll be partnering with @todaydreambelieversfic.  Authors and other creators for Klaine Advent who would like an additional place to promote their works are welcome to join as members. Just send a private message to @todaydreambelieversfic with your email address and they’ll add you to the blog membership.

Archive of Our Own. We have created a collection on AO3 for those people who don’t post to tumblr, and where those folks who do post to tumblr can share their advent works if you like! The collection will be up this weekend and I'll make another post when that's rolling.

Want to Volunteer? We can always use people to help with the daily reblogs!  If you can spare one or two days please signup here!! 

“But what if I don’t write or make art and don’t have time to volunteer?”  You are the most important person in the Advent!! Read the fics, look at the art, let the authors and artists know how much you appreciate their work by reblogging and commenting and liking and all those things creators like. Nothing helps a writer or artist losing steam get motivated more than a nice comment from someone. 

I think that covers everything, so if you have any questions or there’s something that’s not clear, please ask! 

Happy Writing!!

What Kind of Events would you like to see in the Glee/Klaine Fandom in the future?

Kiwi's fandom writing/art projects update:

well, I haven't had much motivation to work on my Florist!Kurt fic, so it's still not done, despite wanting to have it fully written and published by now. but I really want to work on it some more because I'm probably about a chapter(?) away from being done writing it.

I haven't started writing my Klaine Secret Santa fic yet either. HOWEVER, I have a plot worked out, and I did make a photo edit/manip for the prompt that I came up with, to go with my unwritten story. so I at least have accomplished something.

I'm also still editing the annual Darren calendars. I am a couple of photos shy of having 5 full sets of calendars. I'm pretty sure there will be more event photos to complete the 5th set before the end of the month, so there will be plenty of photo options this year. all of the photo backgrounds are edited for size, some still need a little bit of color editing though. and I've got one 12-month set fully edited with the calendar attached. so I'm happy with the progress on this :)

Klaine Valentine's Challenge Day 6

Got a Hold On Me

Notes: For this challenge I'm writing snippets in my Mediator!Klaine AU. More info here. This snippet is the very start of the story.

Kurt could see palm trees from the plane.

He didn’t know why this was so surprising, but it was. He’d known that he was moving to California, and along the Pacific coast no less, so the sight of palms shouldn’t be such a shock. But still, observing palm trees in January felt wrong, somehow. As though they should have been covered up until the summer months.

He was going to have a lot to get used to in Carmel.

Moving across the country in the middle of his junior year was not Kurt’s idea of a good time. Sure, it wasn’t like he was terribly happy in Lima. But moving away meant leaving behind Mercedes, his best and only friend. It also meant selling the house he’d grown up in, the house that was thoroughly infused with memories of his late mother. And Kurt didn’t expect that he’d fit in much better in sunny California than he had in Ohio.

The choice was out of his hands, though. His father had gotten remarried to a woman who lived in Carmel-by-the-Sea, on the Central Californian coast, and so here he was, joining his new blended family.

The one thing that made it bearable was that he could see just how much his dad loved Carole. His dad hadn’t been this happy since Kurt was very, very young. Ever since he’d met Carole, Burt Hummel had been smiling basically non-stop. Kurt and his dad had been through hard things, and Kurt knew that this type of happiness was hard-won.

Carole had come to Ohio on a three-month travel nursing contract, and within that brief window of time she and Burt had become completely smitten with each other. After a few more months of long-distance, they were engaged. Kurt had met his new stepbrother at the wedding, an elegant if rushed ceremony that Kurt had thrown together at the university event hall.

He wasn’t sure how he felt about Finn, who seemed sleep-deprived more than anything during their brief interactions in Ohio.

The plane descended into Monterrey Regional Airport, gravity once again taking hold of Kurt. When he made his way down to baggage claim, he saw his family waiting there - the familiar sight of his father, and the much less familiar forms of Carole and Finn Hudson. Or, Hummel-Hudson now, perhaps.

“Hey, kiddo!” Burt exclaimed, wrapping Kurt in a hug. Kurt bit the inside of his lip to control his emotions - it was just a lot, uprooting his whole life, seeing his dad for the first time in weeks and all that, and he didn’t want to fall to pieces in public.

“Hey Dad,” he said into his father’s shoulder. “I missed you.”

“We missed you too,” Burt said, pulling away. “But we’re all together now. Let’s get your stuff and we can show you the new house, huh?”

Kurt embraced Carole, and gave Finn an awkward nod. While his dad had flown out to California right after the wedding to help with purchasing and moving into of a house that could fit them all, Kurt had remained in Lima to finish out the fall semester. He’d stayed with Mercedes’ family, and it had been like a full month of non-stop sleepovers. 

He was going to miss Mercedes so much.
