I'm going crazy because I know I read this on ao3 recently, but I cannot find it in my history, or on your blog. but there is a really fantastic story in which the boys (+finn and Rachel) get in a car crash, and years later Blaine dies and his ghost follows kurt for the rest of his life. it's really good.

Readers? Do you know this one? Please send it in if you do. Thanks!

ETA: @thethirdgarrideb believes it's this one:

Wake Up Now by DireDyre

Kurt and Blaine were just getting started on the rest of their lives, until Blaine gets into an accident. Now he's a ghost forced to watch his life happen without him as he struggles to get back to his body.

Dear @thethirdgarrideb I can speak only for myself but I know that it would be more less the same for all the other ladies... There's no problem at all and I honestly didn't see your ask as an attack. So don't worry and don't apologize because there's no need to. It's always good been corrected when needed and yours was a good ask in my opinion because makes us be more clear on the matter :)

@sarkyblueeyes @ajw720 @chrisdarebashfulsmiles @rougedraconteur @doublemalfunction-blog 

I feel like I need to clarify my ask about the sleeve-pulling a bit. 

I absolutely agree with all of you that he wasn’t entirely comfortable and he certainly showed some of his nervous tics. That ask was in no way meant to attack. I just know that you’re usually so good at pulling out the receipts and backing your statements up with facts, that I thought I’d quietly point out that small mistake about the *timing* of the sleeve-pulling so that it doesn’t get thrown in your face later on. I didn’t expect my ask to get published (though of course it doesn’t bother me) and for it to start something. That was not my intend and I apologize if anybody felt attacked by it. 

I hope this makes sense. :-/

For the anon looking for Burt being unhappy about K dating B: 'Heart Without a Home' by heartsmadeofbooks - B is homeless and overhears Burt voicing his doubts about Bs intentions and their relationship. And 'Hearts and Homes' by beautifulwhatsyourhurry has a similar scene.

Thank you for the suggestions @thethirdgarrideb. The homeless!Blaine fics work for the ask. - HKVoyage

Heart Without a Home by @heartsmadeofbooks

Kurt Hummel is just another Broadway star and fashion icon who doesn't care about anything around him. But on a cold winter night, he stumbles upon a man who makes him realize his perfect life isn't so perfect, after all.

~~~~~

Hearts and Homes by beautifulwhatsyourhurry [PDF and EPUB]

A cold winter night finds Kurt stranded after some car trouble, only to bring him face to face with a sick, shivering, homeless boy beneath a bridge. That boy, of course, turns out to be Blaine.

ETA Thank you @thethirdgarrideb

Safest when I'm with you by LittleDucklingPalace

Kurt Hummel is New York's State Senator Burt Hummel's son and goes to NYADA with Blaine Anderson. He and Blaine are at the top of their class and have been rivals from the day they met. So when an assassination attempt forces them to be in a safe house together, they're less than thrilled.

ETA Part 2:

@mynonah replied to your ask post

There's one where Blaine is a member of the royal family, they're not enemies, but it starts with a hook up and they run away together when journalists show up around Kurt's apartment, and I think they're hiding for a while. The first one is complete but the sequel is unfinished. Royal Pains by AlexaCardew https://archiveofourown.org/series/655352

ETA Part 3: YAY! Success:

hello! anon from the other ask, here to confirm it was safest when i’m with you 👍 thank you so much!!

hey i’m looking for a fanfic where kurt is the son of the president (or other authority figure), and there’s an assassination attempt against him, and him and blaine are placed under witness protection in a safe house? they’re enemies but they bond while in the safe house. it was unfortunately unfinished as well. thank you!

We don't know the one you are looking for - maybe fandom can help? We can only suggest checking our political!Klaine tag or Bodyguard!Blaine or check these? ~Jen

Playing With Fire by a-simple-rainbow

Blaine’s father is running for President of the USA. Kurt is a newly transferred student at Dalton Academy. Kurt’s father is also running for President. Blaine’s choice of doing what he wants or what’s right for his father’s career has just gotten a tad more complicated. “It’s their race, not ours. This shouldn’t matter to us. I don’t want it to.”

From the Love to the Lightning by knittycat99

Kurt and Blaine are the sons of rival Presidential candidates. There are many complicated layers to their lives, but when they meet and fall in love on the campaign trail things get even harder.

For the anon looking for slave!Kurt: The 'Don't Look Back' verse by SkewedReality (AO3 /series/23761)

Thanks for the suggestion @thethirdgarrideb. - HKVoyage

Don't Look Back by SkewedReality

Blaine is in a slave market with his parents who went with the intention of browsing for a new slave to work around the house. Blaine splits away from them, disgusted, and sees Kurt.

Kurt is badly beaten, starved, and sick, and his slave trader is about to kill him because he won’t be able to make any money off of him. Blaine stops him and buys Kurt. Then he takes him home and starts Kurt on the long road to recovery.

Contains: slavery, hurt/comfort, past abuse, violence, and eventual depictions of non-con. Nothing especially explicit, but I tagged it anyway for the sake of a trigger warning. This is first and foremost a hurt/comfort story. (As posted on the GKM)

For the anon looking for the fic where they met as kids, but don't keep in touch and years later they're dating, looking through old pics and realise they've met before: 'Of Little Boys and Found Memories' by littlehellspawn665 (AO3). (I'm not 100% sure it's the one the anon is looking for, because they don't meet at the zoo, but the premise is very similar.)

Thanks for the suggestion @thethirdgarrideb. - HKvoyage

Of Little Boys and Found Memories by littlehellspawn665

The year is 2001. Two young boys meet in a park on a sunny Thursday afternoon.

[klaineccfanficlibrary]

For the anon looking for fics with Cooper/Kurt before Klaine: It's not a *new* fic, but I'd recommend 'Lottery' by sunshineoptimismandangels (on AO3)

Thanks for sharing. ~Lynne

Lottery by sunshineoptimismandangels

When it is the Government that chooses your Lifemate, the person you have to spend the rest or you life with, by drawing names from a national lottery there are a lot of things that can go wrong. Kurt however, has always dreamed about the day he'd met and hopefully fall in love with his Lifemate and when the government pairs Kurt with Cooper Anderson a handsome and charismatic older man Kurt can't wait to start their life together. Of course Kurt never dreamed that maybe his Lifemate wouldn't be right for him, or that he'd have a charming younger brother named Blaine who is everything Kurt has ever wanted. What do you do when the Government pairs you with the wrong Anderson brother? (Klaine centric romance with some Kurt/Cooper and Blaine/Sebastian)

ETA: thanks to @thethirdgarrideb for identifying this:

Dream Lover by MyMuseMyrtle

We all make choices in life. We all have dreams about what could have been. But what happens when fate tells you that the choice you made was wrong, and that your dream is more important than your reality?

I'm trying to find a fic I read YEEEEARS ago. Kurt and Blaine dated in high school, but Kurt broke up with blaine after he moved for college. I think "Hey there Delilah" was involved in the fic, and Kurt was a Director/producer on Broadway. Thanks in advance 😄

Hi - does anyone know this fic? ~Jen

[klaineccfanficlibrary]

For the anon looking for fics where Kurt has a twin brother: 'The Other Half of Me' by TheOtherXOPrincess and 'Mixed Signals' by BlurglesmurfKlaine (both on AO3)!

Thanks for sharing! ~Lynne

The Other Half of Me by  TheOtherXOPrincess

Fashion journalist Kurt suddenly finds himself handcuffed to a bounty hunter, without even having done anything! He tries explaining to the admittedly attractive guy that he mistook him for his long-lost twin brother Caiden.

Of course, Blaine doesn’t believe one word he says, because seriously, who falls for the unoriginal ‘I have a criminal twin’ lie? Finally, he caught that annoying petty criminal, and he won’t let him get away this time, no matter how hard he will try to escape.

But frankly speaking, Blaine needs to admit that “Caiden” is different from all the other cases he had before, and not really in a negative way…

~~~~~

Mixed Signals by BlurglesmurfKlaine

Blaine Anderson is the new transfer at McKinley High. He quickly becomes fast friends with Kurt Hummel—Glee Club diva, straight A student, Cheerio extraordinaire. He plans to win his heart, but there’s just one problem: he can’t make heads or tails of Kurt Hummel.

[klaineccfanficlibrary]

For the anon looking for less popular fics - I always felt that 'Too Late' by zavocado doesn't get the fandom-love it deserves. And maybe 'Unscripted' by Rainjoy?

Thanks for the suggestions! - HKVoyage

Too Late by @zavocado

When Blaine came out at sixteen, everything changed. Fifty years in the future, sixteen year old Kurt is still hiding himself away, lost in the misery of a friendless high school life with only the memories of a dark-haired, kind boy who helped him when his mother died. A story of lost chances, saviors, and how love transcends the limits of Time. soulmates!Klaine, AU

~~~~~

Unscripted by Rainjoy

1. They’re kids, and it’s the first serious decision they’ve ever had to make, and they’re not making it well. 2. In college they have crazy roommates and maybe it’s not second thoughts, for all Kurt knows Blaine’s having eighteenth thoughts. 3. Maybe Kurt’s a better actor than Blaine ever knew. 4. Why fight the inevitable?

For the anon looking for fics where Klaines house is haunted: There is also 'Apartment 143' by idoltina on AO3.

Thank you, @thethirdgarrideb!

Readers, please heed the tags and warnings!

Apartment 143 by idoltina

Six years into their marriage, Kurt and Blaine are starting to be established enough in their careers to want to settle down into a more permanent residence. When they happen upon a refurbished apartment in an old building at a price that’s a steal, they immediately snatch it up. They settle into their new home over the summer, and after a fairly intoxicated and intimate Halloween, they find themselves expecting their family to grow by one more. But as the pregnancy progresses, so does the level of paranormal activity in their home. It doesn’t take long for them to bring in paranormal investigators to figure out what inhabits their home, if they can get rid of it, and how to protect themselves and their unborn child from it -- if they can.

[klaineccfanficlibrary]

Hey! The Soulmate fic where Blaine is a teacher at Dalton is 'Heartlines' by an anon, it's on the klaineficspdfs tumblr and on LJ (gkmheartlines)

Thank you @thethirdgarrideb.

Heartlines by gkmhearlines

Kurt and Blaine have each other’s names written on their hands. Except in this they’re 10 years apart.
