Scholars & Gentleman

Title: Scholars and Gentleman (2011-12)

Author: mary flanner

Words: 161k; POV: Alternating; Rating: M

Summary: Blaine tries to find his place amongst a family never meant to be his own while Kurt tries to move them all beyond the people they once were. Later, they grow up and apart until the darkest night and a failing heart brings them together once again. An interrogation of Kurt and Blaine’s friendship and, later, relationship as it develops—loosely from Never Been Kissed to The Purple Piano Project (Parts One and Two), and a jump after that into the near future (Parts Three and Four). 

Review: This diverges from canon after season two (Blaine is the same age as Kurt) and it was written so early on and yet it still manages to capture Blaine’s earnestness, Kurt’s bravery, and their connection. This story gives you the kind of heart in your throat/clutching your chest/holding your breath kind of feeling that can only come from a story that moves you. It’s bittersweet, and it hurts so much—to think of a timeline wherein Kurt and Blaine went their separate ways, to imagine them hurting so much, to consider any reality where they aren’t theirs forever (no matter how brief that consideration). Sure, we only deal in happy endings here, but sometimes the getting there is full of bittersweet yearning. Any story with well-written Burt will knock me off my seat, but this one does it with a subtle finesse that might bring you to tears.

its a beautiful life. fynn hits 100k written this year. it's been a long journey and i thank everyone who has ever even clicked onto a work of mine. its difficult, sometimes, being stupid and a writer simultaneously. ignore the low numbers im a small fandom writer and i have a nother account ok

similarly, my mcsrtober also reached 1k hits which makes it my first fic with 1k hits yay thank you <3

highlights below. im gonna ramble ofc i am

swallow's mate. yeah its not the longest fic ever but i put so much time and effort and i am so so so so so so so proud of it and will always be. the world is a river of crackling chaos and i am the vengeance that simmers inside it

hiraeth. YES I WILL FINISH IT ONE DAY. ITS GOT REALLY NICE LORE. being the first bigger project i've tried to write since i unretired from mcsr, i adored being able to a) worldbuild and b) WRITE IN CHAPTERS. its so hard to write fics in one go my patience wears itself out

lappel du vide. you know nothing about lappel yet. you know nothing, but the plan was like 4k words and now you know something. boy do i have things planned for these stupid ranked runners. the darkness came when doogile was just a boy, after all

mcsrtober. im not as proud of my mcsrtober because i like editing things over and over and over again and mcsrtober simply doesnt allow the time for that. however i think i cooked really hard on some of the prompts and the ones yet to come (peepocute banger one on the 26th i think). like day 2. a full-on 4+1 fic. beautiful

there's a lot to come, i think. theres so many thoughts and not enough time to express them, and im only going to get more and more busy from now on. it's going to be walright. you know, theres a cool thing called a winter big bang, and the word count is projected to be around 18k...and its a oneshot...........................

then i can retire from writing longfics in one go and go back to chaptered becuase WOW chaptered is easier. AHHHHHHH

thank you for reading. this and all my fics. thank you @goober890 (i would be a liar if i didnt say i tried to tag ur ao3 😭) for being the first ever member of the fynn fanclub. thank you @bioluminescentfrog for putting up with me through the whole process of the fics to come. its been - not quite a long journey, but an eventful one all the same. from one mongey to another, i salute all of you.

the buddie playlist, pigeonxp edition.

for a smidge of context, some of the songs are not specifically buddie coded to me. some of the songs can be considered specifically eddie or specifically buck coded, such as My Kink is Karma, which i (in the context of this playlist) consider eddie specific. there are a few like this but the majority is buddie specific.

as another mention, this is my opinion only, hence the title. i am open to suggestions to this playlist and it is always ready to be added to.

[tethered-heartstrings]

I was a far cry from my writing word count goal for 2024 (I underestimated how busy school would get by miles), but I still reached 25% of it, wrote nearly 38k and 19 fics (admittedly 15 of those in a series) so, I still didn't do too bad!

WE DID IT MIDSHITS I LOVE YOU ALL (AND ALL THE FANDOMS THAT HELPED US)

[tazmiilly]

in a way, I'm kinda glad I wasn't into this show while it was airing. I think people blaming ford for everything, including being manipulated, would've driven me crazy

[timefadesaway]

ive been sort of normal on here lately at least for me and i need you to know it's bc i've been rewatching mash since june and i've been funnelling all the stupid shit i have to say into the discord server i have with friends and into a horrible spreadsheet rather than here and as a result ive been quiet. it's for the best...but im on season 11 now and im so so so so so scared

[mossyflowers]

More people need to get into stuff that has so little works that if you want stuff you gotta make it yourself. And I don't mean like. A fandom or a pairing that has 500 or so works. I mean a fandom where the most popular pairing doesn't even have THIRTY FICS. It's good for u I promise. It's good for your health. You will not be fundamentally changed as a person. You will be normal.

anyway i just remembered the time my friend's boyfriend was tired and kept responding to her texts with just "hm" and "mhm" and I just think that's Regulus texting anyone at all times

[obstinaterixatrix]

I need someone to write yuri that is exactly 1:1 like 11st. I need the author to write yuri the exact way they write bl.

i s2g i’m this close to adding a chapter halfway through RB that just has the sentence “hey. listen. if you have school or work tomorrow and are staying up late reading this. go to bed. i’m not kidding. this will be here tomorrow.”

Seeing as AO3 is down for the foreseeable immediate future: here's a bunch of my fics accessible via Google Docs, if you feel like rereading/reading any of them. It's not all of them - I don't have the time to upload them all! It's just the ones that I already had saved for beta-reading purposes. Enjoy!

(Note: not all of these might be in their final form as they exist on AO3! I tend to edit a tiny bit when it's in the AO3 posting form, and since I can't access those versions right now... this is what you get! Hopefully there's not too many egregious errors in these documents.)

Eucatastrophe - (12 chapters, in separate documents, 99k.) - Thomas gets kidnapped by fairies, the Sides go to rescue him, and then things get all eldritch and weird. Gen canon relationships, some OC M/M. Happy ending!

Janus Sanders and the Cassandra Fallacy - (four chapters, single document, 20k) - canonverse crossover with Percy Jackson, Janus narrates in first person the tale of demigod-Thomas's first big ol' quest. Except, well, it's Janus, so you probably shouldn't believe everything he says. Gen, with undertones of Janus being in love with everyone/everyone being in love with Janus/who knows.

lying in a box with a lid on it - (oneshot, 5k) Virgil and Thomas get buried alive together, and take the opportunity to have a panic attack and a chat about DWIT. Gen.

Eye, Me Myself - (oneshot, 7k, script format) - crossover with TMA. Jon and Martin stumble across c!Thomas (and the sides, sorta) during the Fearpocalypse, have a little chat, take his statement... and things get meta. Gen, with background Jon/Martin.

melliferous - (3 chapters, single document, 22k) - Thomas dies and goes to hell, the Sides go all Orpheus-and-Eurydice to get him back, and also there's a lot of bees and a lil bit of cannibalism. Tragic ending. Gen canon, some OC F/F.

tangential chromatics (the mary’s room remix) - (oneshot, 3k) - Logan and synaesthesiac!Virgil have a chat about science, colors, and fake animals. Gen.

if at first you don't succeed, never try again - (oneshot, 8k) - I still don't know why I wrote this one. Canonverse car racing AU where things get all time travelly and paradoxical and weird. Tragic ending. Gen.

oh so i got this negative comment on Imperfect a few days ago. And it was so poorly written and baseless that it didn't rile me up beyond.. the usual disappointment/irritation i feel when i get a long-awaited Comment Notification only for it to be crap. but the person said the weirdest fucking thing??? so they were calling me uhhh 'disgusting' for portraying Mayuri in a positive light, and said 'most people portray him as a rapist' as part of their evidence

so. lemme get this straight. i'm in Evil Crimes Jail because *checks notes* he's a rapist in other ppl's fanfiction???????? gfto?????? is honestly the dumbest shit i've heard to date

[minnaci]

i truly think some folks on here would rly benefit from sitting with themselves and their willingness to dismiss posts / fics with low interaction count as "flops". like yes i love the Look At My Flop Posts Boy energy we have going but also i have quite frankly never posted a flop in my life bc all of my posts are bangers to ME
