Hi - I had fun putting this list together, seems I've read a lot of great party fics. Hope they are what you are looking for. (happy to have more recommendations!) ~Jen
NYADA Hallowe'en party by @snarkyhag
Klainetober 2024 prompt: Kurt and Blaine are at NYADA costume party.
Are they meeting for the first time? Is someone having a really good or really bad night? Are they wearing a couple's costume? Does a real live ghost show up?

Running Interference by @rockitmans
Kurt and Blaine don't want to get set up on a blind date. But when their friends get involved, what they want doesn't really matter.

~~~~~
Happenstance by @thatgleekychick
When Kurt's ex-boyfriend shows up at a party to show off the person he left him for, Kurt is certain the universe is out to get him. But then he sees a cute guy standing across the room by himself, munching on a plate of pretzels, and gets an idea. AU.
~~~~~
If the Fates Allow by dahlstrom Part 1 of the Holidays' Verse
Blaine tried not to dwell on the handsome stranger he’d met — and kissed, oh god, it had been so nice — a few days earlier. Sure, he’d had beautiful eyes and a melodious voice and his hands had been really soft, but he was gone, and that was that. There were eight million people in New York City, and Blaine didn’t even know the guy’s name, let alone how to find him.

Bang Bang by @afterthenovels

Clinging to this hating game by notarelationship (just practising)
Based on this prompt from the Klaine-prompt-a-fic blog on tumblr:
Kurt and Blaine couldn't stand each other in high school, maybe one was a jock/cheerleader and the other a nerd/glee clubber. Or they were bitter rivals for competition solos if they were both in glee club. Now they both live in NY and their friends set them up on a blind date, not knowing they went to the same high school.
~~~~~
Let me be the one by @annepi-blog
“Oh no, Mercedes. No way.” Mercedes wants Kurt to go to a 90s and 2000s college party with her. He is persuaded by the argument that he can plan an exciting outfit. At the party, he meets his crush, who has also made an exciting fashion decision.
Inspired by the outfit Darren Criss was wearing at Jumperwall 90's - 00's Concert in February 2023.

Did we meet before? by @little-escapist
Written for a prompt by mynonah on tumblr, the prompt is the title.
~~~~~
Underneath it all by @heartsmadeofbooks
Blaine first meets the mysterious Kurt Hummel at his brother's engagement party, and he's immediately struck by the quiet, handsome stranger. He doesn't expect their paths to cross again, but when life gives an unexpected turn, Kurt might be the only one with the power to help him save everything he cares about.
~~~~~
Zip tease By izwordsoup @special-bc-ur-part-of-it
A college party where everyone is a little drunker than they should be, an open fly, and a dare.

Trick or Treatby grlnxtdr29
Kurt Hummel HATES Halloween, for good reason. But he allows Brittany to talk him into going to a Halloween Party with New Directions and The Cheerios. After the jocks play a cruel trick on him, he drives off in tears, and nearly runs over a mysterious boy in the road. Is this another Trick?
~~~~~ Raspberries and Crème by @quizasvivamos

A Klaine Fanfiction
Hi,
I have written a new little one-shot.
Thanks to @special-bc-ur-part-of-it for betaing this story!
Words: 3,410
Rated: General Audience
Character: Kurt Hummel, Blaine Anderson, Santana Lopez, Rachel Berry, Mercedes Jones, Tina Cohen-Chang
Summary:
With clouds gathering and the threat of rain looming, Kurt finds himself at an open-air classical concert and dares to challenge the weather. But there's more than music in the air. Blaine also ventures out to the music festival, but very unprepared. This chance encounter, with some embarrassing interference from Kurt's friends, leads to an unexpected invitation into Kurt's circle. As the music swells, so does the connection between the two, and the story of an enchanting evening unfolds surrounded by melodies and raindrops.
You can find it on AO3 under this link:

Collaborative December klaine challenge 2023 between @esilher and @mynonah
Tiny Friends in the Neighborhood by @mynonah
"Blaine? What are you doing?"
"Feeding Theodore."
"Excuse me?"
"Theodore, this is my fiancé, Kurt." Blaine says, gesturing theatrically between the window and Kurt, "Kurt, this is—"
"It's a squirrel." Kurt interrupts.
"That was rude. Yes, it's a squirrel. Well, there are two of them, but it's early, I think Francesca's still asleep."
Kurt looks at Blaine as if he's suddenly grown a second head. "Okay, while I try to process this... may I ask what he is doing on our ledge? This is how you teach them to keep coming back, Blaine. And one day, they’ll come into the apartment. What are squirrels doing in this tree anyway?"
"The same thing you do inside the building. They live there."
"No." Kurt shakes his head wildly. "They don't belong here. Squirrels inhabit forests. Or at least... wooded areas. Here it's all concrete and people and bustle."
"They probably moved here from Central Park. But they build their nests in trees and that, in front of our window, is a tree. So it seems to me that they are at home, just like us."
"How do they get food here?"
"They are wild animals, they know how to get food. Besides... we are here for them," Blaine adds with a grin. "I looked up what they eat. Would you like to try?"
"Feeding him? No way! What if he bites?"
"Give him food, not your finger. With your palm open. Come on, Kurt, I'm right behind you. You'll love it and Theodore is hungry!"
Kurt rolls his eyes, but steps closer to the window and carefully holds out his hand to the squirrel.
"Oh," he giggles. "He's cute."
"I know, right? Look, there's a little hole. That's where they nest."
"Uh. That can't be too warm..."
"They live in the wild, Kurt. Don't worry about them."
"But winter is coming, Blaine. Theo and Fran need a more secure home than this. Wait, you were gonna make a bird feeder in the spring, remember? Let's do it now," Kurt says excitedly. "Well, mostly you, but I’ll decorate it. Just make it a little bigger. I'll go see what we need to buy and we can go in 20 minutes." Kurt announces with the same enthusiasm, then turns on his heel and hurries back to the living room.
"Wait… Are you serious now?"
"Mhm."
"Five minutes ago you didn't care about them at all and now you want to build them a house."
"It's your fault. You named them, Blaine!"
"Whoa... Okay. Understandable. Maybe I should have named the spiders you found in the bathroom yesterday."
"Ugh... have you killed them yet?"
"No, not yet."
"Then do it. Please."
"I don't know... It's a moral issue, Kurt. A whole family!"
"What? You're such a dork."
"And they're high up..."
"That's not a family."
"Okay. Not a family. Just two random spiders and two random half-sized spiders who happened to meet in the corner of the bathroom and have been hanging out together ever since."
Kurt narrows his eyes at Blaine. "Something like that."
"Hm. I still think they’re a family, though. I'll give them names."
"Don't you dare!"
"Everyone deserves a name, Kurt. Don't be cruel."
"Stop it!"
"Hmm... How about Lucas and... Frederick..."
"Blaine, stop it!"
"...and the kids are Charlotte and... ah, Samuel!"
"Shit! I hate you."
"You love me. Very much. So, are you starting to think they're cute?"
"No! They're spiders, for God’s sake. ...Lucas and Frederick?"
"Yep," Blaine says proudly, grinning from ear to ear. "They're gay. Spider family, Kurt. With two dads. And even if the kids manage to escape in time... A lot of little feet need a lot of little shoes, and you want to murder their parents. But of course, as you wish... I just..."
"Fuck!" Kurt exclaims, throwing his phone on the other side of the couch so suddenly, that he almost falls over.
"What’s wrong? Are you okay? Why did you... Whoa! Oh, my God. You actually googled ‘spiders + pets + feeding’?!"
Kurt holds both hands over his eyes frantically, and Blaine can't help but laugh. "You're cute."
"Could you just... Could you just... Just do something!"
"Should I close this and clear the search history?"
"No! Just... just type ‘TINY’... at the beginning of the text. Please. Tiny spiders. Like Charlotte. Thank you."
"I love you so much."

8, 20 & 27?
8. Oldest WIP
My oldest WIP is called Cuffed and actually dated back to 9/21/22! ( I checked!). It's a prequel to the first ever story I wrote called Trick or Treat. That was a Klaine D/s fic and the prequel goes back to the origins of Blaine and Kurt's relationship in this AU - starting all the way in the beginning where we meet Blaine as a little boy who is yearning for something - maybe even someone to help him not be so lonely. The fic is pretty much outlined - but I haven't written it all yet. Anyone interested can read excerpts here and here.
20. How many WIPs and story ideas do you have?
About 16. The first 15 are listed here . The 16th newest idea is a RWRB fic tentatively called: "color me intrigued" - basically would be a hanky code/flagging fic - where Henry gets dragged off to a club, by Pez, sees Alex, who is the DJ working that night with an particular color bandana tucked into his back pocket. Inspired by a picture of TZP and a tumblr post I saw on @bigassbowlingballhead's blog 😊 Nothing written yet, but I was working on a mood board for it recently - see below.
27. Favourite line/scene
That I've written? Arrrrghgh so hard to choose. Here are 2 for you. - From a Klaine fic - If I Can Make Your Heart My Home - the scene where a drunk Tina Cohen-Chang leaves Kurt a voicemail made me laugh:
“KUUUUUURRRRRTTTTIIIEEEEE!!!�� Kurt winced as the next voicemail clicked in, and the voice of a very drunk Tina Cohen-Chang assaulted his ears. “Kurrrrrrrt. . .“ slurred Tina, who then dropped into a very loud stage whisper. "I love you, Kurrrrrt.” There was an odd pause of dead air. Perhaps Tina had passed out? But then her voice quickly picked up again. “Kurt . . .Kurt. . .Kurt. . .Kurt. . .you gotta keep that new cutie of yours.” Tina hiccuped loudly. "He is awesome. AWWWWWESOME. And sooooo cute. And has an ass that won't quit. And I saw you staring at it tonight. Don't deny it. I was staring at it too. Shhhh. Don’t tell Mike. Ooh wait, he’s right here next to me. Never mind.” "Sorry, Kurt!” Mike piped in, laughing from the background.
****
- From a RWRB fic: from my online auction fic that's a WIP - Where Alex is complaining to Pez that he can't find Henry a birthday gift: “Alexander, darling, to what do I owe this pleasure?” Pez leaned back in his chair, grinning. His hair was electric blue today, as were his nails. His suit was bright, bold and couture, but only something that Pez could pull off. “Help me, Obi-Wan Okonjo, you're my only hope.” “With what now? You do know Hazza is at a luncheon with more prospective donors for the shelter. He should be back in an hour or so.” Alex huffed as he plopped himself down in the chair in front of Pez’ desk. “It’s why I came now. I didn’t want him to be around to overhear. I need help with his birthday present. I can’t figure out what to get him.” Pez’ laughter rang out rich and warm. “Alex, my dear Padawan, why are you stressing out about this? You do know that you could just tie a bow around your . .” Pez coughed lightly, his eyes drifting downward as he smirked suggestively. Alex groaned. “I know. I know. I was thinking something else would be better. . . I don't know . . something more spectacular.” “You are seriously underestimating how spectacular Haz finds your dick, my sweet strumpet.”

For the first time, I'm posting a fic to scarvesandcoffee.net. A new administrator has taken over and made some improvements. If you haven't visited the site before, I urge you to because it has some classic Klaine fics that you can't find anywhere else.
The fic is now completed and available on AO3, FF.net, and S&C.

Klaine Advent 2022: Chemistry Sucks (1/?)
Summary: Nerd!Kurt/ Popular!Blaine high school AU - Kurt joins Glee club in his junior year to please his dad, though he'd rather just hide out in the library until he can graduate and get out of Lima.
Turns out he's not the only gay kid in town. Too bad the other out gay kid is cocky and popular senior, Blaine Anderson. Sure of himself, gets all the solos, things served to him on a platter. Kurt finds him shallow and infuriating.
Blaine finds Kurt square and irritating.
Yet at a party one night, they promise to sleep together if they don't have other opportunities by the end of the year. A dare. Naturally competitive spirits.
Chemistry Sucks (Day 1: Team)
He promised his dad. He will attend one Glee club meeting because he promised his dad he would at least try it. One hour of his time to convince his father that really, he is better off in the library for the next two years until he can graduate and go to New York where his research leads him to believe there are other people with more than two brain cells, and absolutely no oversized flannel button down shirts. And maybe one or two gay people. But he can’t let himself think about that right now. Straight A’s will get him a scholarship. Extra-curriculars be damned.
"We have a new member today guys!" Mr Schuester welcomes him with unnecessary pomp and enthusiasm. "I'd like to introduce you all to Kurt Hummel, a junior who is a lover of musicals, languages and even chemistry, if I have that right, Kurt?"
This is worse than he thought.
"More like a lover for Blaine's team," A rough looking guy with a Mohawk high fives a guy in a wheelchair but they're both looking at a well-dressed guy in the front row, wearing an admittedly cute bowtie, and flanked by Cheerios. The subtle homophobia barely registers because the guy - Blaine apparently - commands the room.
"My team," Blaine emphasizes, "Has all types," He pauses and rolls his eyes dramatically, "Just like yours. And we don't all like each other, you know?" Blaine stares at him for a split second, all attitude. And the room reacts with the predictable "ooooh."
Huh. Blaine is gay. He is not the only one. And he's out. And did Blaine just insult him?
"Thank you, Mr. Schuester," Kurt takes back the floor. "I do love musicals and languages. Chemistry kind of sucks but it's easy," Kurt pauses and turns to stare back at Mr. Ego. "And no, we certainly don't." Kurt earns a second round of oooohs as he takes his seat in the back row.
Blaine smirks at him, amused.
This is a terrible idea.

Folks. It’s 2023. Thank you @facewithoutheart and @larkral for the tag. The first tags of the year!
Since I am still on a writing break, I am back with more recs. Plot Twist by @onepintobean is an absolute delight and the timing was wonderful. People were talking about the Reddit post and voila! I love Simon’s panic over being homophobic. Oh my oblivious boy.
If you want more festive cheers from your favourite holiday queers, @cerriddwenluna wrote Kurt and Blaine’s Recipe for the Happiest Holidays, which is so unique because she used a glühwein/gloeiwijn recipe as the backbone. I actually had my first gloeiwijn at the Christmas dinner at my local Queer HQ.
Another cutesy holiday one is @raimykeller’s It’s Christmas, Let’s Get Married! It’s shorter, but I don’t mind because it was the perfect length for this fic. I was basically weeping because of the cuteness.
Another ANOTHER holiday-esque one (yes, I am going through the Klaine Secret Santa fics, can you tell?) is Special Delivery by @quizasvivamos. It was adorable and I adore Sam and Tina as Blaine’s well-meaning besties.
@jayne98′s What Christmas Means To Me is also adorable. Oh, the fluff! The fluff!!!
Another Klaine fic is @grlnxtdr30‘s A Christmas Tradition. I am a sucker for a good multigenerational Christmas tradition. And president Kurt Hummel wohoo!
And lastly for the Christmas fics (for now, I still have many more to read), I read @artsyunderstudy‘s Meet Me Under the Mistletoe. I am obsessed with oblivious!Simon. He’s blaming his attraction on Baz on a plant. This isn’t the last fic that I’ve read, though, since I also read Ashton’s fic Sixty Seconds. It’s not a holiday fic, but my God my HEART!
Tag and the same surprise as the one on Wednesday under the cut
Tagging @quizasvivamos @crissmastrees-and-candyklaines @coffeegleek @esperantoauthor @otherworldsivelivedin @caramelcoffeeaddict @sillyunicorn @bazzybelle @dragoneggos @raenestee @tectonicduck @nightimedreamersworld @urban-sith @thnxforknowingme @captain-aralias @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @takitalks @justgleekout @cerriddwenluna @tea-brigade @ivelovedhimthroughworse @moodandmist @whogaveyoupermission @bookish-bogwitch @confused-bi-queer @aroace-genderfluid-sheep @ionlydrinkhotwater @1908jmd @special-bc-ur-part-of-it @chen-chen-chen-again-chen @nausikaaa/@wellbelesbian @artsyunderstudy
WOOWOO!!!

Scenes from December (4/24)
Written for the Klaine Advent 2022. Day Four : Bat
***
December, 2009
Kurt Hummel considered himself an introvert. In his sixteen years of life, he had done everything that he could avoid the mall -- especially at Christmas time. And here he was, at the biggest mall in town, packed in with a swarm of people. And he was happy to be there.
The brashness of the holiday was in full swing at the mall; every entrance covered in white and silver glittering lights, every lamppost decorated with green and red garland, every shop with an outward facing window lined with decals of presents and Christmas trees and big red signs marking sales. Inside was just as festive; big green and gold wreaths hung from the ceiling, the sound system blared the old Christmas standards, and there were at least three large signs pointing the direction to pictures with Santa located in the Macy’s wing. Everywhere legions of people pushed around each other in search of the perfect gift. Old ladies clung to their mile long lists. Middle-aged men struggled to figure out what their wives handwriting said. And there were dozens of moms trying to corral their toddlers for just five minutes more, hoping the shrieking wouldn’t start until they got to the car.
It was mass chaos.
Any other time, Kurt might have turned right around and walked out. But he had the delightful Mercedes Jones on his arm. The same Mercedes Jones who didn’t bat an eyelash when he asked her to join him shopping. The same Mercedes Jones who, unlike him, seemed to revel in the crowd. She was an enigma to him. But a fascinating one.
“Okay, so we have three hours before we’re meeting Artie and Tina for the movie,” Mercedes said, stepping slightly out of the way of a college student nearly toppling over trying to balance five boxes on his way out of the food court. “Where do you want to go first?”
“Well…” He took a long breath. “We really should be smart about it. Three hours may seem like a lot of time, but when you figure out lines and having to compare prices for good sales the time will go quickly. I only have my dad to buy for, he’s so particular about everything - his taste leaves a lot to be desired. I did, however, want to find a new pair of jeans, so there’s that… I’m thinking we should start at the big box stores - those will take us the longest. Or maybe we should just take a left and work our way from store to store. I’m not sure…”
Mercedes let out an easy laugh. There weren’t many people who went along with his eccentricities, but she was one of them. She buried her head into his arm. “You are ridiculous Kurt Hummel. Let’s just head left and see where it takes us.”
“Oh!” He said - eyes wide as she led the way. Not having a plan wasn’t something he did. But he could learn to. He could try.
“So, I’ve still got to pick up something for my mom. And my grandma. And a few of the ladies in my church choir. And, I wanted to get everyone in glee club something small.”
That made him stop in his tracks. The thought hadn’t even occurred to him. “You’re getting everyone in glee a present?”
She gave a shrug, not understanding what the big deal was. “I mean, nothing life shattering or anything. But I always give my friends things. It’s part of why I love this holiday. And don’t worry - I’m coming up with something cute for you, too.” She reached up to boop him on the nose.
He felt a warm tingle throughout his body. It was a strange feeling. Mercedes Jones was his friend. Sure - she had been his friend for the past six months. Sure - he had shared with her some of his darkest secrets, some of the things he kept inside, even from his dad. Sure - Mercedes was the reason he was willing to go outside his comfort zone and come to malls during the holidays.
It felt like he had been smacked upside the head. He had a friend - who bought him stuff, who’s kind heart included him. He had a friend group - a group of people who seemed to accept him and even want him to be there. He had people in his life he cared about.
It seemed - almost surreal.
He had been quiet for too long, Mercedes looking at him funny, wondering what he was thinking. Recovering, he said, “Even a gift for Rachel Berry?” His question was light, with an air of humor to it.
Mercedes rolled her eyes, letting out that easy laugh again. “Even Rachel Berry - though it might be a muzzle to shut her up unless it’s to sing.”
Kurt let out a hearty laugh and squeezed her arm, adoring her, as they continued on their journey.

I may have taken some liberties with how the medical profession actually works and how hospitals are run just for this fic. My apologies if some things aren't factually correct.
Tropes/Genre: kid!fic, florist!Kurt, Doctor!Blaine, meet cute, AU, NYC!Klaine
Lynne's review: This story is truly special. I really enjoyed it. Any story with a beautiful scene between Blaine and Burt wins in my book.

Well if we’re thinking of Rumours v 2009 - as someone said many fans just haven’t made it to season 6 or watched 2009 more than once. It’s an enjoyable episode, the main fascination being Kurt’s story and his glow up, but this tournament has all other ships and stans voting. Is there any britanna in there? Season 2 remains popular. Rumours is popular for Songbird especially plus other extra songs plus the Britanna Artie plot, plus the Sam of it all - the story is cute. Klainers love to laugh at the stupidity of people thinking Kurt is cheating on Blaine.
Nbk v hos - well someone pointed out in comments only good thing about Nbk is Klaine meeting. And theres been a lot of anti Blaine stuff around this week on twitter so that’s changed again. The beiste plot is horrible and puck is an ass, and it’s not really Britanna focussed. hos is a competition episode which people tend to enjoy and you’ve got one of the sancedes mashups in there too.
I think, and I mean no disrespect to you, but we do know ultimately there’s a handful of episodes which will be in the top 4. Pq and Os have been long term fan faves and have won many times over the years, I’m not convinced it’ll change now. I’m interested to see what fills in the spaces 3-28 or whatever.
But I love you doing this. It’s fun. It’s not to be taken too seriously. It’s interesting to hear PoV even if they’re wrong (I jest) . I’m not commenting or reblogging because people can be so rude or shoot people down for having a different opinion.
I don’t want you to stop it. Plus you’ve worked hard on it.
Hi Nonny!
Sorry - I am finally getting around to addressing all of this.
First of all, I just want to say, even if I'll campaign passionately on my own blog, I completely understand that this blog's intention is to service the wider glee fandom, and not one particular corner of it, therefore the opinions are going to be different. That is usually part of the fun of it.
What isn't fun is when there's an obvious bout of cheating going on and all of sudden those numbers get skewed in a really wonky way. And as I said before, I know there's always some form of cheating going on in these things -- especially in polls that reach a huge audience. But this particular blog really only gets out to 200-ish people, so when someone spams it with an 100 extra votes it feels really noticeable.
And, at the moment I discovered it - it felt... idk violating in a way? It's like someone did it intentionally to make some sort of statement?
Most of the polls they did it on, the episode in question was already winning. So, why even bother?
That said - I do agree that we're hurdling towards a pre-determined endgame. I've ran this particular poll maybe four times over the course of the years, and it's always ended the same way. But the real fun is getting there, and seeing where everything else shakes out.
I'm glad you are having fun, and I think overall, most people are, too. As of now, things seem to be normal again, so I'm continuing on with the tournament. But if things seem suspicious again, I may decide to pull the plug then.
As an aside -
I’m not commenting or reblogging because people can be so rude or shoot people down for having a different opinion.
I'm sorry to hear this, and this is a good moment to remind people that everyone is entitled to have their own opinion. No one is dumb or stupid or whatever if they like something else. It's a TV show, and subjective to each person. Someone not liking your favorite isn't going to hurt you, and people should feel safe to state opinions without getting ridiculed. I realize this is the internet, and the anonymity makes that hard. But c'mon. This is so not worth getting into it with people over.
Thanks for dropping a line! I do appreciate hearing from you guys. <3

Klainetober2024 [1/4]
- Costume Connections
Hello everybody,
To your (and my) surprise, I'm apparently writing for Klainetober this year as well.
After I spontaneously wrote my last story for a Klaine challenge and just finished it, I thought I might need a break until Christmas. But then I saw the prompt for the first week of Klainetober and had an idea that I had to write down right away. Let's see if I can be as creative for the other weeks.
And oops, it turned out to be much longer than I had planned for a one-shot.
I hope you like it! Let me know, comments are my motivation :D

just remembered that back when i was in the glee fandom, i started talking to this Australian girl around my age at the time (like 14) about our shared obsession over the klaine ship. i would always tell her my weird fic ideas and stupid headcanons and one day, she told me that she was gonna legit fly to the US to my shitty little tourist town (bc her dad was a history buff and agreed bc of our city’s history) JUST so we could meet each other. we had a lot of fun and she introduced me to a popular Australian boyband at the time (don’t remember who it even was), brought me a cute lil koala plushie, and also introduced me to the greatest snack food ever created: tim tams.
eventually we friended each other on fb but around that time is when we both left the glee fandom bc it was more toxic than Chernobyl at that point, and lost contact, and i eventually unfriended her on fb bc i had a massive crush on her and couldn’t stand to constantly see her pictures and having fun. that was about 9 ish years ago i believe and sometimes i really do wonder what happened to her bc she was about to leave for America to study abroad here, and i wonder if she ever did.
i still remember her original url and i might still have the asks from her that I never bothered to delete. doubt she’s still on here tho.
wherever u are michelleklainequeen (her glee url), i hope ur having a good day <3
#also miss the person who was a fictive of roach from seaborne and roach#and i still remember their url from that time bc i changed mine to match it (seaborne related one)#those are the two ppl that i rlly bonded with when i was younger on here#and I wish i could have a bond like that again with someone
