Do you know any Wanky Klaine happens in high school, the more it stuck with the original series the better, thanks

I’m assuming by “wanky” you mean smutty? You should definitely check out our high school!Klaine and NC-17 tags. Here are a few explicit fics that are set in high school, and are more or less canon compliant. - HKVoyage

~~~~~

The Architects of Life Series by misqueue 

Follows the development of Kurt and Blaine’s relationship in the canon timeline from 3x05 “The First Time”.

~~~~~

This Side by flyblckbirdfly

Kurt and Blaine have been best friends since the day Kurt stopped Blaine on the stairs at Dalton, but never anything more. This is why Blaine is more than a little shocked when Kurt suggests that they lose their virginity to one another before they head off to New York for college.

Note: Epub and PDF downloads are available here.

~~~~~

Fire With Fire by @mmerainbows

Badboy!Blaine (S2/3 AU) William McKinley High School has its jocks, its geeks, its preps, and its skanks. It also has the one kid even the bullies stay out of the way for - Blaine Anderson. No one crosses him, and Kurt knows to keep out of his way and do what he wants, whether that’s supplying Blaine with a pencil for French class when it’s demanded of him, or just staying quiet.

~~~~~

Home Videos by rayychel infinity

Blaine doesn’t wait for an answer before he’s saying, “When you have the house to yourself, watch the DVD. For me. Please.”

~~~~~

Shiftings  by @chazzam   Summary: The shift in their relationship didn’t come out of left field at all. Beneath the surface, things had been changing all along.  This fic describes what changed in Kurt ant Blaine’s relationship to make him realize that his feelings for Kurt were more than just friendship.               

Note: Part 1 of the Shiftings series

~~~~~

The List Series by preromantics

Doing things backwards, or: Kurt finds a very interesting list in Blaine’s bedside drawer. It doesn’t take long to start exploring the list in earnest, though the things both Kurt and Blaine both learn along the way are not what Kurt expects at all.

~~~~~

The (Mis) Adventures of Teenage Boys by flyblckbirdfly

This is a series of fics about the developing sexual relationship between Kurt and Blaine and all of the joys, embarrassments, and surprises they experience along the way.

~~~~~

Fade to Black by JudeAraya

Written for this prompt on the Kink Meme.When Kurt and Blaine first start being intimate with each other, the sex is good…but not great. Kurt, despite all of the progress he has made, is still embarrassed to talk about what he wants in bed. Blaine really loves to do well and gain approval, and he feels like he’s not satisfying Kurt because he doesn’t know what Kurt wants. So, the boys devise a plan to develop their communication skills. Follows Kurt and Blaine through cannon as they explore intimacy and love (The First Time through Yes/No)

Note: Part 1 of Fade To Black

[blue-mint-winter]

BSG 3x05 Collaborators rewatch

This episode takes care of the aftermath of New Caprica. The political and emotional fallout of the many tragedies that fell onto the characters. Which is so important and sets BSG apart from other shows. How many times I’ve got disappointed with TV series because it just cut out everyone dealing with life after a big event? BSG doesn’t do that.

This is undoubtedly a Gaeta episode, but other NC survivors get decent screentime too.

In the NC arc, we had some scenes showing Roslin and Zarek warming up to each other. This episode gives a good payoff to this development. Baltar is now with Cylons, so Zarek takes over as the President, but he doesn’t have Adama’s support, so he can’t run the Fleet (and I think his ties with Baltar’s administration aren’t exactly forgotten). His idea is to organize Quorum, elect Roslin as his vicepresident, then he would resign and she’d be president again. An elegant solution, but Roslin knows he wants something. Zarek wants to be a part of her government - and she gives him vicepresidency. See how much they like each other now? lol

I love how in the end Zarek’s true nature of a radical comes out. He’s on Roslin’s side, but his idea was to use those 3 days of his presidency to organize a secret jury that would sentence and execute the worst of Cylon collaborators. He thinks this way Roslin will ahve the problem taken care of and her hands will be clean. And he kept it all from her until she and Adama confronted him about missing people.

Roslin is not happy with Zarek’s idea and immediately after swearing in as a president she issues a general pardon to everyone in the Fleet. The white outfit fits her message of mercy. She decides to make committee of healing and reconciliation so that New Caprica would be remembered. They can’t just sweep it under a rug and forget it.

Btw, I think this general pardon should extend to Gaius, but there’s a loophole - he’s not with the Fleet. Also, it seems no one, not even Gaeta was aware that Gaius literally had no say in what Cylons did on NC. They all seem to think he was working with them as a willing ally. I guess it’s because no one else was allowed in the meetings and Cylons wanted to maintain the illusion that Gaius is in power, a human in charge of humans. But Roslin herself correctly called it a puppet administration before so Idk.

Speaking of Gaius, he wakes up a prisoner of the Cylons, with a Centurion guard. D’Anna warmed up to him, but the Cylons are in a stalemate over what to do with him. The final decision depends on the Six’s vote. Caprica Six visits him, dressed in black, which is a bad sign, she wants to break up with him and he does a bad job of persuading her not to. But then she brings him clothes which means in the end she chose to let him live. Once again, Gaius narrowly escapes death. No matter which Fleet, he’s never really safe and has to prove his usefulness.

The main plot of the episode is about the jury made up of Tigh, Sam, Tyrol, Seelix, Barolay and Connor. In the beginning they sentence poor Jammer and throw him out of airlock :( Jammer tells them about helping Cally and Tyrol is very bothered when Cally confirms it. Their next target to sentence and execute is Gaeta.

The members of the jury all grapple with the issue of justice vs revenge. Their ideal is to be lawful, impartial, sentence based on actual proof, not personal feelings. However, when it comes to Gaeta they completely fail to uphold this ideal and let their need for revenge dictate their judgment. They have no real evidence or witnesses for Gaeta’s “crimes”, the only thing they know for certain is that he was Baltar’s chief of staff. And they sentence him to death based on just that.

Tigh’s issues are pretty simple - he’s grieving for Ellen. In his mind, if she died for collaboration, then he can’t let others get away scot free. Tigh has a very vocal animosity for Gaeta that creates some friction between him and Adama on the bridge. And that scene when he hangs Ellen’s clothes in the closet - heartbreaking.

Connor has a grudge because he lost his son on NC, so he’s the most vengeful. Tyrol almost lost Cally, but he acts the most conflicted after what happened with Jammer. Sam quits the jury and I think it might be because he feels some guilt and regret for pushing Tigh to kill Ellen. I wish his change of heart was better explained in the episode. Barolay and Seelix are also vengeful, and Seelix picks Kara to replace Sam on jury because she witnessed Kara’s altercation with Gaeta. She knows Kara will vote him guilty.

Kara herself is traumatized by her long captivity and she lashes out. “Someone has to pay.” If she hurts someone, she will feel better. She’s in a bad place emotionally and it’s really upsetting that Sam leaves her in this moment. Their love isn’t as strong as they thought it would be :(

So, Gaeta’s taken by the jury and he doesn’t even want to defend himself. He does feel guilty for supporting Baltar, for not doing more. It’s only Kara’s need to make someone suffer and beg that Tyrol overhears about the secret drop spot and figures out Gaeta really was the secret source for the Resistance. With this everyone on jury realizes how far they’ve come that they almost killed an innocent. Without Gaeta’s help, the escape from NC wouldn’t have been possible. They all owe him their lives.

(In a way, Ellen was for Cylons what Gaeta was for the Resistance. She gave up secret information too.)

In the end, Baltar and Gaeta are both saved from execution. And the parallel continues between Caprica Six and Tyrol on both sides.

Another thing to love about BSG is the symmetry like that. Foils and mirrors, parallels and cycles. All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again.

Fic’s Fic Recs:

#3 (Rachel, inspirational quotes meme) by chemiglee (1,006 words)

Rating: G

Summary:   spec fic for Funny Girl outcome (5.01)

Fic’s Comments:  A refreshing possibility written prior to season 5 airing, giving Rachel the time she needs to grow as a performer, but in a sweet, respectful and unexpected way.

***

An Unexpected Goodbye by tarajean621 (914 words)

Rating: T

Summary:   Rachel says an unexpected goodbye to something she loves after a medical emergency. Set pre 3x05, “The First Time.”

Fic’s Comments:  Rachel’s heartbreak and loss are both poetically and eloquently described in this powerful story.  One of my all-time favorites by this author.

***

Blaine the Distracted Tour Guide by alilactree (1,208 words)

Rating: PG

Summary:   AU.  Blaine, the distracted tour guide, has a penchant for blurting out terrible puns. 

Fic’s Comments:  Not my usual cup of tea, but Blaine’s characterization here always brings a smile to my face.  Try to read it without smiling. I dare you.

***

Carry That Weight by hedgerose (50K+ words)

Rating: NC-17

Summary:   AU.  When Blaine's friend Susan drags him to an American Idol audition, he's not even trying to get past the first round-- much less into the top ten. And after getting through Disco Week, avoiding the media, and dealing with his very absent parents, Blaine's not sure he even wants to win-- although falling in love might make up for a lot of that. And maybe, just maybe, he can win this thing.

Fic’s Comments:  As a longtime fan of American Idol (through Season 8) I always love a good, well-written account of Blaine Anderson competing.

***

Caught In The Storm by tarajean621 (1,402 words)

Rating: M

Summary:   The rain had been unrelenting all week.  Blaine, their usual chauffer, has his car in the shop. They’d planned to walk to make sure Unique got home okay, but a ride would be even safer. And dryer. Moving the piano inside will only take a few minutes. Allusions to episode 4x19, “Sweet Dreams.” WARNINGS: Violence, drugging of a minor. (Other characters include Sam, Marley & Brad.)

Fic’s Comments:  An intense story with unexpected humor, the author does a fabulous job of building this particular scenario and of making it believable.  Such a power packed story.  I love it.

***

Dancing Shoes by tarajean621 (853 words)

Rating: T

Summary:  AU.  Mike & several of the New Directions go to great lengths to bring music to a silent world.

Fic’s Comments:  I adore Mike as this story’s unexpected unsung hero.  Vivid and poignant, the author creates a world completely devoid of music and uses Glee’s familiar characters to show just how vital music is, especially for people who love to sing and dance.

***

Follow Me, I’ll Be Your River by joshbroban (7 chapters)

Rating: NC-17 (not rated, so that’s my approximation)

Summary:   Ryder Lynn is having a rough time. Confused about his feelings for Unique and dealing with emotions he's suppressed for five years, he's doing everything he can to hold it together.

Fic’s Comments:  An unflinchingly realistic look at coping in the aftermath of sexual abuse.  Definitely heed the warnings on this one, though.

***

Food to My Soul by thealmigtytrebleclef (1,039 words)

Rating: G (not rated, so that’s my approximation)

Summary:   She’s always done her best.

Fic’s Comments:   This is a totally precious story written for Glee Family Fic Week, focused on the Puckerman family. I absolutely love the complexity of the day, how everything wasn’t exactly as Jake wanted, but how eventually, all the pieces fell into place. I don’t want to spoil it for those who haven’t read it yet, but if not, you should definitely give this one a chance.

***

Heart’s False Start by Sappho’s Ghost (73,027 words)

Rating: M

Summary:   It begins as most things do: with a kiss. / After a break up with Brittany, Santana moves in with Quinn and things spin out of control. Future fic, rated M. Contains graphic depictions of violence.

Fic’s Comments:   This is absolutely incredible.  My favorite part of this fic was the final chapter (but everything leading up to it is a must-read, for the last chapter to make sense.)  I don’t want to give anything away for those who have not read it but know that this author knows how to characterize these women in a way that feels deep, and honest and real.  This story does not shy away from the impact of trauma and recovery from it.  It remains, I think, one of my most favorite fics in the entirety of the Glee fandom.  So powerful.

***

Her Name Is by chemiglee (1,236 words)

Rating: G

Summary:  He gives her a name. (Or, the story of how Tina got her name.)  Written for Glee Family Fic Week. My headcanon is that Tina has an older brother, since there is a picture of one (I think) in her locker in Diva.

Fic’s Comments:  I love this fic because of the strong history Tina is given and how beautifully supporting and loving her family is.  She’s in character, even as a baby, which is so impressive.

***

Hunger by tarajean621 (808 words)

Rating: T

Summary:   The last few months have sucked, if Sam’s being honest. The motel was okay at first, but he had been looking at it as a temporary thing.

Fic’s Comments: A stark, but not hopeless, look at Sam’s family as they struggle to keep afloat financially.  Kindness comes from a friend, when Sam least expects, but very much needs it.  

***

Mine, Never Mine by rm (3,214 words)

Rating:  M

Summary:   The Anderson family is full of secrets, and Blaine’s father isn’t exactly. (This is based on a fandom theory that was circulating pre-“Big Brother,” that Cooper is really Blaine’s father rather than much older brother.)

Fic’s Comments:   As the child of very young parents, I was wary when I first read this summary, but decided to give it a chance. I have to say, I am so glad I did. The author handled this theory in a plausible, respectful way, and I really applaud them for the complex storytelling in this. The tiny blurbs at different points in their lives read so effectively and powerfully. Fantastic story. One I recommended directly after reading.

***

Open House by tarajean621 (2,029 words)

Rating: PG

Summary:   When Sam comes back from New York, it takes a few hours to locate his family. They aren’t registered at the motel anymore, and he has a moment of panic. (And guilt too. He’d done odd jobs for Mr. Schuester to offset the cost of the trip, so it’s not that. It’s that they depended on what he made in tips delivering pizza, and between final rehearsals and then the trip, he hadn’t been working. And his family isn’t where he left them.)

Fic’s Comments:  There is a warmth implicit in this fic that’s almost impossible to communicate unless you read it for yourself.  Sam’s father is depicted as loving and firm, and always wanting the best for his family.  Mercedes and her family are what one would hope to find in the middle of financial hard times.  Loving and open.

***

Perception by tarajean621 (360 words)

Rating: G

Summary:   It was basically wishful thinking, the whole Army thing. Allusions to early Season 4.

Fic’s Comments:  A beautifully brief look at Finn soul-searching and wanting to connect with his father after being kicked out of the army.  The author has this great ability to give Finn this level of depth in very few words that is entirely believable.

***

Quinn, Puck and Beth by tarajean621 (754 words)

Rating: G

Summary:   An otherwise untitled glimpse into an AU where Quinn has kept Beth. How she and her family struggle to adjust to life after her car accident in 3x14, “On My Way.

Fic’s Commments:  It’s so rare to come upon a fic that addresses positively introducing a child to a parent’s wheelchair, as well as childcare from a chair.  For those of us who live each day from a chair, it’s reassuring that fic like this exists that does not depict this type of life change as the end of a character’s world - just something to adapt to.

***

Something Peaceful by joshbroban (6 chapters)

Rating: G

Summary:   When Sam Evans is hit by tragedy, he not only begins the process of grieving, but the journey of exploring the faith he’s followed blindly since the day he was born and learning how death has affected the people around him.

Fic’s Comments:   This is one of the most deep, profound and quietly strong stories I have ever read. A beautiful portrayal of faith, loss, family and friends. The characterization is excellent - especially the depth and strength given to Joe. But Sam, Tina and Blaine all shine in their own rights. I love the role that The God Squad plays and how it really is that place of acceptance for so many who need it - much like glee club used to be.

***

Welcome to Apartment Life by KillerQueen80 (456 words)

Rating:  G

Summary:   Blaine is trying to adjust to apartment life in a big city.

Fic’s Comments:  A short, sweet, and entertaining story.  This one always makes me smile.
