Blaine-friendly Kurtbastian Fic Recs

Putting a list together for @fallevs, but I hope this will be useful for anyone who wants to dip their toes into Kurtbastian fanfiction but doesn't want to read anything anti-Blaine! Everything included in this list will either not include Blaine at all, or if he is in the fic, it will be neutral or friendly toward him.

I've tried to include a wide range of words counts as well, so that you can start with something short and sweet or dive into something big, whatever you feel like. If anyone else has some recommendations to add, please feel free to reblog this list and add more!

Europe Is Our Playground by @glitterdammerung - 53,430 words

Summary: Eight years and half the world away from home, a chance encounter in a Paris club leads Kurt and Sebastian - each running from the ghosts of their pasts - into the diversion of chasing each other across Europe.

(Let's give them) Something to talk about by MemeKonGlee - 20,529 words

Summary: “I need you to—” “I heard you the first time,” Kurt interrupts, putting his fork and knife down on his plate and pushing his half-finished pancakes aside. “What I meant was: what the hell?” He points towards the neglected pancakes, trying to stall in the face of Kurt’s reaction. “Are you sure you don’t wanna finish that first?” The look in Kurt's eyes tells him in no uncertain terms that no, he doesn't want to finish his pancakes, Jesus. And so Sebastian has no option but to take a deep breath in, exhale slowly through his mouth and just… get on with it, internally cringing at how unbelievably ridiculous it all sounds when he puts it in words, all out there for the world (and more importantly, Kurt fucking Hummel) to judge. It all boils down to: I fucked up and I'm too proud to deal with it the mature way.

Safe Mode by flipmeforward - 18,118 words

Summary: An AU in which Kurt and Sebastian never met in high school. Instead, they meet at &brave--an up-and-coming online fashion company where Kurt is the new assistant slash blogger (one day he will figure out a better title), and Sebastian is the less than pleasant tech support guy. Kurt does his best to avoid Sebastian and his rude attitude at all possible costs, but it turns out that technology is not his friend. It also turns out that Sebastian might maybe possibly be (okay, probably is) more than just an annoying coworker.

Come On And Mess Me Up by @pouralittlewater - 215,339 words

Summary: “It’s like...When Harry Met Sally,” Santana told him. “No. That was me and Blaine.” “How? You literally got together in months. You and Sebastian have been skirting the issue for years. This whole “will they, won’t they” thing is getting old.” Or, when Sebastian enrolls in McKinley High and joins Glee right before the duet competition. What Kurt thinks could be the start to a great friendship in gay camaraderie quickly explodes in his face as he realizes being around Sebastian makes him want to set the other boy on fire. However, over time, that feeling dissipates. Even without the title of friendship, the two become ingrained in each other's lives in a way neither ever expected to.

Thunderbolts & Lightning by @alphabees-writes - 1,854 words

Summary: Sebastian has a plan. It goes wrong, and then right, and then wrong again.

tension bars by @cryscendo - 824 words

Summary: Prompt by backslashdelta: kurt, sports!au (gymnastics), exes, “sometimes, i sit in bed and wonder what would happen if things were different.”

I Want The World To See You'll Be With Me by @backslashdelta (me!) - 2,405 words

Summary: Kurt and Sebastian attend a Christmas party, and Sebastian has a special surprise for Kurt afterward.

Dessert by @nalasan - 1,175 words

Summary: “Oh my God,” Sebastian says, staring at the plate in front of him. “We have to break up.” Kurt, who has just walked into their living room and is still in his winter coat, raises his eyebrow quizzically; his expression more bemused than worried, “And why is that?” “Just look at that,” Sebastian replies, gesturing at the table in front of him like he is seeing it for the first time: the white tablecloth, the candles in their silver candleholders, the white roses in their vase in the middle of the table, and the dinner Sebastian has been preparing since he came home three hours ago.

And Why Is That? by @20xbetterthanu - 41,321 words

Summary: "I love you, and I hate myself for that." "And why is that?" Love hurts.

Note from me: this fic is definitely not anti-Blaine, however it does heavily involve Blaine and he is Not having a good time, so I maybe wouldn't recommend it if you want to avoid him (and the other boys!) being sad.

A Change In The Weather by cacophonylights - 209,414 words

Summary: The summer before college Kurt is shocked when Sebastian comes to him with a timely offer he can’t refuse.  He’ll get something he needs to realize his dreams, but in return he has to play the role of Sebastian’s boyfriend for the summer.  Neither of them know just how much their worlds are about to change. For a GKM prompt.

Note from me: this fic COULD be considered anti-Blaine, but I don't personally consider it to be; it maybe doesn't paint him in the most positive light, but I think it's still neutral enough to be on this list, and it's essentially required reading at this point! Also, it is famously unfinished, but there are a couple fan sequels: ACITW AU by @lady-divine-writes A Drop In The Ocean by @daftydraw and jwmelmoth The ACITW link above is for livejournal, but you can also find the original fic on AO3 in two parts here and here.

Kurt got home late a lot these days.

He knew that Blaine had a hard time with it. He moved to New York largely to be closer to Kurt and now Kurt was too busy to really devote much time to him.

It wasn’t anybody’s fault. Kurt just had a heavy course load this semester, and paired with his Vogue internship and diner job, he hardly had a moment to himself, much less a moment to focus on Blaine. Many evenings were spent with Kurt coming home, deciding something simple for the two of them to eat, showering, and then passing out the moment his head hit the pillow.

Blaine tried to never complain about it, but Kurt could tell it bothered him.

Tonight was especially a let-down. Kurt came home from work and had discovered that their roommates would be out for the evening. Like, all their roommates. And normally, this was a fantastic thing seeing as they hardly found time to spend together with just the two of them. But just as luck would have it, Kurt was too exhausted to be able to take advantage of their personal time in any meaningful way.

“I’m sorry, Blaine, but I haven’t really had a moment to breathe in about twelve hours,” he explained apologetically, “I really just need some sleep.”

“Oh, yeah! Of course! I get it, yeah, get some rest, honey,” Blaine replied encouragingly, offering Kurt a chaste kiss of the cheek. He was trying to not let his disappointment show, and Kurt could appreciate that.

It wasn’t until that evening that Kurt really got to see the other end of Blaine’s thoughts.

He didn’t mean to listen in, not really. He really was prepared to pass out and be dead to the world until his alarm clock devastatingly went off the next morning.

But somewhere in between the haze between wakefulness and sleep, Blaine started to speak. Not to Kurt, or rather, not in a way that Kurt was ever supposed to hear it. He sat up in bed and sighed — Kurt felt the bed jostle even despite Blaine’s efforts to not disturb him.

“Sometimes I feel like you don’t really want me around,” Blaine muttered into the darkness, and yeah, Kurt was definitely not supposed to be hearing this. A warm hand ran through his hair gently, carding through in soft strokes. “Ever since I moved to New York, I dunno, I just feel like our relationship is… different somehow.”

Kurt should’ve done something. He should’ve alerted Blaine that he was awake, because these thoughts that Blaine was sharing were something personal and private.

Against his remarkably better judgment, Kurt didn’t move.

“I think a lot of it is probably my fault,” he confessed to who he believed to be no one. “I know you say that you forgive me, and I do believe you. But I feel like some part of you still holds it against me. Not that I blame you.” Kurt heard Blaine sniffle and wondered if he was crying. Then, the hand in his hair moved as Blaine grazed his thumb along Kurt’s cheek. It was a sweet, loving gesture, but it took a bit for Kurt to not react to it in a way that would reveal he was not actually asleep.

“I should probably tell you all these things when you’re actually awake, huh? I’m just scared, I guess. I don’t know if it’s obvious yet, but I’m not really that great at this whole relationship thing. I feel like when we first met, I always knew exactly what you needed. Now, I’m not so sure.” Blaine took a breath and finally pulled his hand away.

“I think… I think I just need you to need me,” Blaine eventually admitted, and even the way Blaine spoke felt weighted. “It’s selfish as hell, I know, but I liked feeling like you needed me. You were so scared and alone and needed someone to protect you and I loved being that person for you. But now you don’t, and… and I’m still trying to figure out how to be okay with that.”

Blaine’s voice broke and Kurt felt his chest constrict at the sound. “I love the man you are, but I can’t help but miss the boy you were. You’d probably be pissed if you heard me say that.” Blaine let out a soft laugh, but it was devoid of any real humor. “It’s so much easier to say these things when you’re asleep.”

After that, Blaine fell into silence. It felt like ages, but he eventually resettled into bed, pressing a kiss to Kurt’s temple before finally cuddling up next to him. Blaine was warm, but Kurt couldn’t help a chill that sat deep in his bones from everything he just heard — every word Blaine wanted to say to him but couldn’t find the strength to say it. With his arm wrapped protectively around Kurt’s waist, he murmured one final thing before drifting off to sleep.

“G’night, Kurt. I love you.”

What motivates you to work hard? 👀

Hey honey;) thanks for the questions.

Can I say that my life is quite derailed now and I have no motivation whatsoever. But I am trying to bring purpose to what I want to do.

1. To study hard so I can try getting out of my country or atleast a top position in my country to get out. Also I don't want to regret in my later life for not doing what should be doing now.

2.I have to start working on myself because I realized that my inner and outer self needs a rebirth. I've damaged both of it and I want to regain it. I want to feel confident inside and out.

3. As to write fanfiction, of course I love to see the increase in number of works and also being a party late commer for klaine,I want to enjoy as much and make everybody else happy too.

I hope I gave valid reasons🙈

[kurtsascot]

Do you love or hate rollercoasters? 👀

love!!!!!!!!! for the most part. if they go too high i have to close my eyes for the beginning LMAO, but i will ride almost every roller coaster!!

i dont like rides were they just drop u from really high or just flip you/leave you upside down. i like rollercoasters bc its quick and fast :^)

[hevanderson]

About your ask from earlier: some unpopular opinions about the show in general? I love your mind!!!

hmm... i think my biggest one is that s4 is better than s3 and is a season i find myself rewatching frequently!! also, sinn + partie are both better noncanon finn and puck mlm ships than p/inn to me i just do not see p/inn as even remotely romantic. also kurts crush on finn, while weird looking back because of them later becoming stepbrothers, adds for a better klaine pay off and also is not as weird as it was made out to be, both by finn and some fans

[special-bc-ur-part-of-it]

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? 👀

ooh interesting...

so I'm gonna be a little tricky hehe and say Thanksgiving dinner because it's got all the food groups and there's nothing that says you can't pick and choose which parts of the meal you want to eat at a given time :p

(also I'm just bad at making decisions lol)

[angelhummel]

8, 10, 36, 49 for the ask game!

I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU

8. What's your favourite band/artist?

Admittedly, I love Taylor with all my heart. Her music means the world to me and it can get me through all the hard times. I really am just a pop girly.

10. How tall are you?

I am only 5'5"...tall in my family but short every where else :(

36. Do you like your middle name?

I do, it's Lee. It's a family middle name, from my grandmother, mom, and now me. I wish to pass it on to my child someday.

40. What does your last text say?

To my brother: Hey, bud, sorry wrong timing again.

He keeps calling me at the worse times.

[also your icon is adorable. how'd you know kurt hummel is one of my other all time favourite characters]

[backslashdelta]

Thanks to @cryscendo for the tag and for past tags and to everybody else who has tagged me in the past and then I haven't made a post... I appreciate every time I get tagged, I've just been kinda drowning in work lately and haven't had time to write.

BUT I'm going to share a little bit I wrote several months ago for tbosas au which has been living rent free in my head for a while - I started outlining this back in December, and will hopefully eventually get to write it all! This is more than 6 sentences because fuck the rules <3

“And there he is, Blaine Anderson himself,” Santana announces to their small group. “They can’t give him the prize, right? He already has enough handed to him, being an Anderson.” Blaine catches Sebastian’s eye for just a moment before Sebastian can turn back to the group, and he starts to walk over. “Which is ridiculous anyway, he’s district. He doesn’t even belong here but he still has everything handed to him? It makes no sense.” As Blaine walks up to the group, Santana plasters a sickeningly sweet smile across her face. “Hi, Blaine.” “Hi Santana,” Blaine greets her quickly, then looks to Sebastian. “Hey, Bastian.” Sebastian cringes a little, hates it when Blaine calls him that, like they’re the best of friends, hates that being associated with Blaine makes everyone else question his own place here, too; he doesn’t need his status being questioned, it’s hard enough fooling them all as it is without Blaine getting in the way. But Blaine knows what Sebastian’s life is, Blaine’s whole family knows, and it’s humiliating but he can’t help it, needs to stay on Blaine’s good side so that at least he’ll keep it to himself.

Going to tag @daisyishedwig @esperantoauthor @blurglesmurfklaine @kurtsascot @calsvoid @fallevs and anybody else who wants to do this! (I know some of you already got tagged but I'm double tagging you because I want to and fuck the rules <3)

[cryscendo]

mermaid au? 🧜‍♀️

yay mermaid au <3333 meet blaine the sailing master <3

He decided to explore the island. It was later in the evening, so much of Tina’s crew was on the ship preparing for rest. But all Blaine had done in recent days was rest, and one man can only handle so much time aboard a stagnant ship before he needed to visit land as a means of respite.

for the “work on my wips” tag game!

[thnxforknowingme]

- More than a feeling

- Papa don't preach

- Thriller/Heads will roll

- Into the groove

- Perfect

✨️

Thank you!!

Thriller/Heads Will Roll. Everything about it is so good, they clearly pulled out all the stops for their post-superbowl ep

More Than a Feeling

Into the Groove. I might actually like this song itself better than More Than a Feeling, but if we're including performance/context, there's less emotional weight to Into the Groove.

Papa Don't Preach. There's something so delightfully season-1 about this song

Perfect

Send me 5 Glee songs to rank!

@fallevs replied to your post “@evercaptor @thepondstogether @borg-collective...”:

If she was sick, it's for the best. Unfortunately, I understand the feeling very well... hugs 🫂

​Yeah. That's what my dad thinks as well. After the initial shock and sadness, he felt relief. I haven't seen her in a long time because she was ill and she wasn't happy anymore. I did plan on seeing her, because I had a gift for her, so I am very sad I wasn't able to give it anymore, but I am also aware that I didn't put "enough" effort into seeing her because I was afraid of what I'd find. Everyone who went to see her told me that she was in so much pain, she barely registered anything else and it messed with her mind. It's an incredibly sad situation.

My dad gets why I am sad I wasn't able to give her my gift, but he's somewhat happy I only remember her the way she used to be.

But of course, that doesn't make it any less sad. As I also said when I called my parents: "She's not sad. She's not in pain. She can rest. We're the ones who get the sad part."

(🥹🩷)

Thank you for your ask dear @fallevs. I know it's been almost a week since this ask and I really have to apologise. I really got the motivation to write just today. I want to bring writing as my routine and cut down social media. But alas!

Anyway, I am working on this fic and I relate musch to it and that's why it is getting intense.

So are three lines of your gift:

He tried to cope. Hell he did. Living for others, trying to insert himself into every hole of opportunity to occupy all of the meagre leisure time. To put it short, he was one step away from getting a full blown burnt out phase and a disastrous mental breakdown. Everytime he looked in the mirror, he could certainly see the poker face version of himself: smily and sunshine on the outside and grey, gloomy, stormy on the inside that no one could control, not even Blaine himself.

I hope I complete this fic soon and I hope you would like it <3
