The Tragedy of You and Me by Seeleyboothfan

Title: The Tragedy of You and Me

Author: @seeleyboothfan

Summary: Kurt Hummel lives in a society where, between the ages of 20-30, you can choose to erase portions of your memory for the right price. After so much pain in his life, Kurt moves forward with the procedure. He's oblivious and happy until the day he finds himself on a blind date with a certain curly haired, hazel eyed man. Can a once-in-a-lifetime love happen twice?

This story was so heartbreaking, be prepared for crying ( I know I did). I’ve never seen Eternal Sunshine in a Spotless Mind, which this story loosely is based on, but I find the concept of memory-erasing very fascinating as well as deeply disturbing. I loved how the author was thoroughly exploring Kurt’s pain after their (4x04) breakup, and how love and forgiveness can be so difficult.

I highly enjoyed how the plot was not at all as straight-forward as I first thought when I started reading. The way the story was written, jumping back and forth in time and between POVs, worked so well to serve the plot too. This is definitely a new favourite.

Let me hold your hand by Fearlessly

Title: Let me hold your hand 

Author: @fearlesslysgleefics

Summary: Kurt opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out except a pathetic broken sob. Hearing Blaine’s words and watching his body shut down from heartache was nothing short of excruciating for Kurt. He knew Blaine was right. If he walked out there was no coming back...

If the two breakups in canon weren't enough for you: here, have another one. As I am a sucker for angst and pining and reconciliation and more angst, I could simply not stay away.

This was a clever take on the "traditional" amnesia fic, and I enjoyed it thoroughly (including all of the time when I was crying, which was more than half of the time). In particular, I loved the flashbacks. Lovely, heartbreaking and very well written.

Blaine struggles with the decision to let him go, and the night before they're set to pull the plug, Kurt wakes up. One problem: He thinks it's 2008 and that he is 14 years old. No New Directions, no Finn and Carole, and no Blaine.

Blaine helps Kurt try to remember his old life while they consider starting a new one.

This fic is so stunning I (almost) don’t have words. I love the tension the author creates when Kurt and Blaine have to get to know each other again, after losing everything. I love the moral dilemmas the 14-year-old-brain creates, and the struggling with loss and longing Blaine experiences although he got his physical usband back.

To sum it up: I love this story so much. The writing is stellar and the plot is very unique and as a bonus I get to explore my innocence!kink without feeling like a paedophile.
