Hi! I'm SO thrilled to see you post your Mormon!Klaine verse on AO3!! I've been following on Tumblr since forever, but knowing the posts are updated, it's like getting back together with an old friend after not seeing each other for a while. RL has been crazy these past couple of months but tomorrow morning, the husband and I fly to Europe for a three week vacation escape. I've downloaded the first 5 chapters of the verse to my phone, and look forward to happily reading them in flight. Thank you

@perryavenue Yay clappy hands and thank you!! I hope you have a great time in Europe, maybe visit some of my old haunts! Perhaps the Omnibusbahnhof in Ingolstadt is on your list of places to see 😉

My best flight ever to/from/through Europe was on KLM because they gave us spekulaas ice cream for dessert, but Lufthansa is a close second for just putting piles and piles of candy in the galley for people to grab whenever they wanted (though that was an extremely long flight, I think 12 or 16 hours?).

Anyway, I hope the fanfic can be a good substitute for spekulaas ice cream if you don't get any on your flight ♥️

The Symphony Verse by Shandyalls

Blaine has spent most of his life feeling like the only thing people notice about him is that he stutters. He’s working hard to overcome his (mostly self created) roadblocks when he meets Kurt in an online class the summer after his freshman year of college.

~~~~~

Love Song by andiheardeverything

A hate crime leaves Blaine damaged and Kurt refuses to let it bring them down.

100 days by @borogroves

Kurt and Blaine have been best friends (and nothing more) since the age of six. Now 22-year-old college graduates, they take a roadtrip around the USA, visiting every state in 100 days. Fifty states. Two boys. One love story.

~~~~~

The Empty Nest series by @coffeegleek

Burt Hummel was an empty nester who discovered a teenager sleeping under his porch. Kurt was just trying to survive in a world that was against everything he was. This is their story.

~~~~~

Westerville Abbey by @hkvoyage

Blaine is the second son of the earl of Westerville, and is considered the spare heir. After his 18th birthday, he attends the London Season to fulfill his duty of finding a wife. He soon realizes he is more attracted to the new footman. Kurt, who has just arrived at Westerville Abbey to work alongside his father, becomes equally as smitten with the earl’s youngest son. Will Blaine and Kurt be able to overcome their class differences in 1910s England? Will their forbidden love survive WW1? A Downton Abbey inspired historical Klaine AU.

and Life in the Big Apple by @hkvoyage

Sequel to Westerville Abbey. Kurt and Blaine are reunited, but their happily ever after comes with a whole new set of challenges: relationship hiccups, jealousy, sabotage, war memories, and family troubles. Yet with love and perseverance, they can make it through. A Klaine historical AU set in the 1920s.

Gilded Cage by @canarian

In the winter of 1895, Blaine Anderson, the son of a wealthy doctor, and Kurt Hummel, the son of a middle class mechanic, cross paths at a luxury hotel in the quiet seaside town of St. Augustine, Florida. With everyone and everything working to keep them apart, can they find a way to be together?

~~~~~

Sweet DREAMers by @perryavenue

Blaine Anderson is a business major at Baruch College of the City University of New York (CUNY). Blaine came to the United States from the Philippines on a tourist visa with his mom when he was three years old and since then, has lived in Woodside, Queens with his mom and cousin Marco. As a gay, undocumented student, he has the questionable good fortune to belong to two marginalized populations. One day, while at his part-time job at a book store, Blaine meets Kurt Hummel, a theatre major from Ohio attending New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, and begins a tentative friendship. Before it has the chance to bloom into more, Blaine’s immigration status is revealed, creating issues for both of them.

The idea of Darren and Ryan continuing to do work together is just thrilling!

It is! All the possibilities. And I love that Ryan specifically asked Darren what he wanted to do next because I think Darren has a lot of ideas as well. Putting those two minds together will result in a lot of magic for us.

I was surprised that I wasn’t prompted to give a Tee shirt size. That’s not good news for me! Also, I purchased at level 2, but wasn’t told what my number was. How did you find out yours? Thanks!

Yeah, the prompt was weird. I saw the “Buy Now” but then caught that they were all “S: by default so I did the dropdown to the other sizes.

I did Level Three and I actually got an email with my player number (112) pretty quickly! Probably because it requires a selfie so they can do the 8-bit art, so they needed me to reply with that.

(I hope they actually ask Agnes to do the avatars...I mean I know she’s busy but they used her art for the other stuff I think it’s only fair. Plus I’d be turned into @sunshunes art!)

Hi! Did I miss a post where you listed the titles for Episodes 1, 2 and 3? Thanks so much.

My bad! Episode 1 is “The Man Who Would Be Vogue”, 2 is “Manhunt”, and 3 is “A Random Killing”. You can find the posts here, here, and here.

In 2018, Steve, Sam, and Bucky embark on a mission to explore a Hydra-owned warehouse when a kid with mutant powers sends Steve 18 years into the future. After figuring out where (and when) he is, Steve tracks Bucky down in 2036 to find he's become a successful business owner and an impassioned advocate for mutant rights. Steve's just as in love with Bucky as he was when he left, but for Bucky it's been a long 18 years. It's hard to accept when Bucky keeps him at arm's length... but Steve's never met a challenge that he didn't take.

As he gets used to life in 2036 and the flaws in Bucky's idyllic life expose themselves, Steve also has to manage a suspiciously ubiquitous security force, a Brotherhood of Mutants, and old competing loyalties among his aged friends. There's a Bucky in 2018 waiting for him to come home, but if he does that, it means leaving this Bucky behind for a third, unforgivable time. How can he choose?

What's Bucky not saying?

How can he face losing everything -- again?

fic ask meme: last lines!

I was tagged by @perryavenue to list the last lines of the last 5 fics I’ve written (thanks, lovely!)

I’m tagging @whatstheproblembaby because she’s currently the only fic-writer with new work on my dash lmao (sorry, I’m terrible, working on it) and also whoever

“I Saw the Signs” - post “The First Time” Hudmel family moment 

“I’m taking my coffee to my room,” Kurt announces, avoiding their glances as he leaves. He turns at the foot of the stairs and adds, “Thanks, Dad. And Finn, despite the, um… crude way that you said it, I – it’s nice to know. I do appreciate it.”

Finn shrugs. “It’s nothing, bro. I’m just not being a dick.”

Burt picks his newspaper back up, grinning at the picture of Blaine and Rachel staring into each other’s eyes. “Our protagonists, in love and on the verge of adulthood, are so convincing in their charming young romance that one might think they had real-life experience to draw from!”

That columnist has no idea.

"Heroes Never Die” - (part 1 of ?) Kurt and Blaine meet online, playing Overwatch

Blaine… Hmm. “Superhero by day, skilled healer by night?”

“That’s me,” Blaine laughs. The sound is wonderful. “Actually, I can play a lot of characters, if you want to stick with healer. Or I can. I’m versatile.”

What a refreshing change from his usual play group. Kurt likes it. Kurt likes him.

“We’ll see what kind of group we get. Ready?”

“Let’s save the world!” Blaine exclaims, pulling a chuckle from Kurt as he puts them in the queue for a game.

This ought to be interesting.

“Fly” - Blaine, Kurt, and the rest of the squad in a Disney Fairies AU

“Would you… accompany me back to my maple tree? S-so we can, um, let my team know the plan and start preparations, I mean.” Blaine looks down and shuts his eyes when he finishes talking, mentally berating himself for letting his courage falter when all he wants is to ask Kurt to go on a walk around the pond.

Kurt watches him for a moment with a little smile, putting something together in his head before he answers. “Of course. And then, when we’re done visiting my burrow to get my team on board, would you like to go for a walk through the rosebushes?”

Blaine’s nervous grimace becomes a thousand-firefly beam as he nods, wordlessly but ecstatically, and lets go of Kurt’s hand so that he can wrap up his designs.

Kurt reaches for him again, taking his hand without a second thought before they lift off for the animal fairies’ maple tree. “I just think I should hold onto you, Blaine,” he says, one eyebrow arched. “I’m not sure you can keep up.”

Blaine takes the cheeky challenge for what it is and holds on tight as they fly. “We’ll see about that.”

“Flustered” - lil early!Klaine ficlet set right after the “Blackbird” moment

“I’ll see you in the morning. Feel free to text me if you want.”

Blaine definitely wants. “Yeah. I’ll… see you.”

Kurt gives him a funny look, bemused by his awkward behavior, but he grins and waves the hand with the handkerchief in it as he leaves the room.

Blaine just stands there for a few more minutes, pressing his palms together in front of his face as the words for what he needs to express start to sort themselves out in his head.

He suddenly has a lot more to put on the council table than those silly blazers.

“That Can Only Mean One Thing” - sexy social media shenanigans on top of a “same age but manager/employee” relationship

Blaine’s eyes darken. “You know, I didn’t think you had any idea of the effect you have on people, but I was wrong, wasn’t I?”

“I think I’m starting to figure it out,” Kurt answers, setting down his glass and turning to give Blaine a good view of him walking away. Then he grins coyly over his shoulder and says, “I live closer to the venue than you do, so, meet me at my place? I’ll text you the address.”

Blaine just nods, sipping his wine with that same sultry look in his eyes as he watches him.

“Great. I’ll see you–OOF!” Kurt bangs into the glass door, once again not quite realizing how close it is and shattering his sudden confident fatale persona.

Blaine spits some of his wine back into his glass, laughing, and covers his mouth. He coughs a few times, but thankfully, choosing not to comment on it, lets Kurt walk away with a sweet, simple, “I can’t wait.”

New Klaine Covid-19 Fic (Complete)

My first new fic in nearly two years!

Title: I’m Never Saying Goodbye

Rating: Teen and Up

Relationship: Kurt Hummel/Blaine Anderson

Characters: Kurt Hummel, Blaine Anderson, Tina Cohen-Chang, Sam Evans, other characters, mention of Rachel Berry, mention of Burt and Carole.

Genre: AU

Status: Five Chapters: Complete

Word count: 7375

Link to AO3

Summary: It’s Summer 2020 and Covid-19 has changed everything. With Broadway shut down since March, Blaine and Kurt are back in Lima, Ohio, staying with Burt and Carole. On this day, they’re hanging out (and social distancing) with Sam and Tina. This is also the story of Angela and Marie, a couple who are going through a difficult time. Something is left behind that brings them all together. TW for suicidal ideation/suicidal thoughts (non-canon character), discussion of suicide, discussion of depression. It does have a hopeful ending!

A/N It seems appropriate to post this fic during National Suicide Prevention Week. Glee’s 2015 series finale, “Dreams Come True” (Season 6 Episode 13), fast forwards five years to 2020. In that episode. Kurt and Blaine have received acclaim for their LGBTQ+ version of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” at New York’s Lincoln Center. Tina and Artie live together in New York where Tina’s been acting in one of his indie films. Sam is the new choir director at McKinley High School. Rachel is the star of “Jane Austen Sings” and is pregnant as the surrogate mom for Kurt and Blaine’s baby. This video segment from the episode gives a great summary of what happens to them. I’ve taken Kurt, Blaine, Sam, Tina, and Rachel, and their careers, and moved them all to a Covid-19 universe.

My endless thanks to my amazing beta @flowerfan2 for helping me bring this fic to life. Her guidance and constant encouragement energized me to write my first fic in nearly two years. Please check the notes at the end of the fic for the backstory.

Chapter 1 Lunch Date

For the past five minutes, Blaine’s been trying to distract Kurt by making small circles with his fingers on Kurt’s thigh, but Kurt’s deliberately ignoring him, preferring instead to go deep with Tina about the latest episode of The Umbrella Academy on Netflix. Blane’s looking forward to some payback later tonight.

Blaine is glad that the weather has been nice enough to allow him and Kurt to get outside more often lately.  It’s been hard living in quarantine mode in Lima for months, but at least they’ve been together. Burt and Carole have been great. Burt even helped them convert the guest room into a workspace for their virtual performances and conferences with producers and agents.

Blaine sees his mom for occasional driveway visits, and he makes a point of going running with Sam, with plenty of space between them. Even Kurt has started to mellow out. In the beginning, he wouldn’t let Burt out of the house, not even to his repair shop.  But that has changed. Kurt lets him go in during the hours before the shop opens or after closing, and Burt stays in touch with his employees and customers by phone.

Now that Kurt’s agreed to eating outdoors at restaurants, it’s been even better. And here they are, at one end of a long picnic table with Sam and Tina at the other.

“This is perfect,” Blaine says with a satisfied sigh. “We’re outside, in the shade, with great company, and rocking the social distancing thing.”

For the anon looking for Klaine fics where they talk online and don't know they know each other in real life, do emails count? If so, I highly recommend The Better Knot Blow Tie Company Act 1 by @gleefulpoppet It starts off as a series of emails. The fic is also visually beautiful thanks to the author's stunning artwork.

Well, let's count it. After all, it's a really great fic. - HKVoyage

Better Knot Bow Tie Company by @gleefulpoppet

Blaine Anderson has been a Better Knot Bow Tie Company monthly subscriber for years. He's taken a hiatus from Broadway to facilitate the Journey Performing Arts School's summer program in New York. What happens when a zany bow tie sets off a chain reaction of events that may change their futures forever?

Do you have a DVR so you can record it? It’s a regular broadcast event on the ABC Network.

I would be shocked if it’s aired here. And fuckin gobsmacked if they air it at the same time as America.

They really won’t get it. They will say he is commenting on US, not the CC faction so not much for him to lose.

They don’t want to get it. Doubt it’s even for them.

I love it, but why does he want to wake the beast?

Shits and giggles? Honestly I’ll bet he doesn’t even know we call them tinhatters...wait, does he use the phrase in STFF?

He’s a perfect Curly

All the excitement about Darren Criss possibly doing another Broadway role (including the comment that he could “be a farmer or a cowman”) reminded me of my Oklahoma! fic series, where Blaine is playing Curly in NYADA’s production of Oklahoma! (Just imagine him singing Oh What A Beautiful Morning, all earnest and glowing and lovely...)  Please enjoy (yes the titles are all songs from the show):

People Will Say We’re in Love, 2k Kurt comes home late one night expecting Blaine to be asleep, but he was wrong.  Part 1 of the Oklahoma! stories.

Many a New Day, 3k Sequel to People Will Say We're In Love (second story in the Klainebingo series; part 1 of the Oklahoma stories).  Klainebingo prompt fill (prompt: back rubs).  Kurt and Blaine need to confront Tim, and what they find out surprises them.

All Er Nothin’ 1k Written for Klainebingo (prompt: flirting).  Part 3 of the Oklahoma! series.  Featuring Kurt custom-making Blaine’s costumes, and a surprise for Kurt from Blaine (since he can’t bid on Kurt during the box social...)

Or if you’re in the mood for Blaine and Kurt in Into the Woods, check out these much longer stories (Blaine plays Prince Charming -- of course! and Kurt stars as Jack):

The Journeying, 24k Freshly graduated from music school, Blaine is thrilled when he is chosen to stay in the cast when the production of Into the Woods he was lucky enough to be part of in Boston moves to Broadway.  He knows it’s going to be hard returning to New York City – the scene of his epic breakup with his fiancé and the emotional meltdown which cost him his place at NYADA.  But he’s determined that this time, everything will be different.  Little does Blaine know that out of thousands of potential castmates, his director has chosen none other than Kurt Hummel to play the part of Jack.  Blaine has worked hard to recover from their breakup three years ago, and struggles to find a new way to relate to Kurt and simultaneously protect himself, especially when tragedy strikes.  

This story looks at what would have happened if Kurt and Blaine had reacted differently to the break up in 6x01 than they did in canon; if events hadn’t brought them back together as soon, and if forgiveness hadn’t come so easily.

Ever After, 51k After much soul-searching, Blaine and Kurt have reunited, and are ready to enjoy themselves together in New York while performing on Broadway in Into the Woods.  But they and their characters discover that getting your wish doesn’t guarantee happiness.  Although they are certain they want to be together, circumstances take a toll – the stress of performing every night, Kurt’s grief over the loss of his father, and Blaine’s struggle to give enough but not too much of himself away.   This is the beginning of their “ever after.”
