Tamales House, 7622 Reseda Blvd, Reseda, CA 91335
Tumblr media
This was the year that I planned to find the best tamales in town, but then I ate too many tamales and had to pause the quest. However, I couldn’t resist a place called Tamales House.
The tamales are made fresh daily by hand, with no lard, and no GMOs. They are also gluten-free. There were a dozen varieties, including beef, pork, chicken, 4 vegetarian kinds, and 5 sweet kinds. The pumpkin spice tamale was a seasonal offering. Meat and vegetarian tamales are $4.05 each. Sweet tamales are $3.01. Their tamales are larger than average and they come with salsa (red and green). They don't skimp on the fillings, the tamales are moist, and the meat is not dry.
Pumpkin spice tamale: The idea of a sweet dessert tamale didn’t appeal to me but I do like pumpkin spice. This tamale was moist and sweet, but not crazy sweet. It had pumpkin pie spices and pumpkin puree. Very nice with a cup of tea. I personally would have preferred a savory, spicy pumpkin tamale.
Chicken in green sauce: nice, moist, fluffy masa, lots of shredded chicken in a mild green tomatillo sauce. Chicken wasn't dry.
Pork in chile California sauce: I could really taste the pork and corn, the chile sauce was mild but probably so you could taste the pork. Shredded pork wasn't dry. Masa was fluffy and moist.
Beef in chile California sauce: Similar to the pork tamale, could really taste the beefiness of the shredded beef
Jalapeno & jack cheese: Lots of cheese, slightly spicy, very tasty, moist
Tamales House also serves Mexican food: tacos, tortas, burritos, quesadillas, flautas, nachos, breakfast plates, and menudo. You can get a breakfast tamale plate with two eggs. The meat choices are boring: pollo, asada, and pastor.
The restaurant looks like it’s been around a long time – no frills, in a working class part of town. There are five tables and the walls are a bright orange. The clientele seems to be primarily Mexican. Credit cards are accepted but if you pay with cash, you get a 4% discount.
Tamales House is in a strip mall with parking.
4.5 out of 5 stars

Am I missing something or like... where do people get Years of time out of the ‘present’ Black Sails timeline?
Does the entire show not take place over Spring/Summer, 1715 to Winter, 1716? Which leaves us with something like 9-10 months total?
#I’m CERTAIN people with more knowledge than me have discussed this before so I’m super interested in what others have to say#ik that this throws historical accuracy out the window re: the dates but since when is the show concerned with that?#s1 is honestly the most confusing since it’s supposedly Easter (so March/April) but then at the start of s2 it’s suddenly June#so that’s why I say Spring/Summer for the beginning... I tend to mentally split the difference and call it May#with its having made its way to June by the time we get an actual date in... 2.03 I believe?#(there are still like... Technically issues with that but the Easter shit is sexy re: resurrection imagery so I don’t really care)#if Common Loons can be in Charles Town in July then Easter can be in late May I don’t give a shit#but back to the point#s2 goes by pretty quick so it’s presumably still June/early July by the end#and then we get the timeskip between seasons 2&3 which is vaguely referred to as ‘months’#so I tend to take that as about three months which puts us around October#and then 3.01-3.05 take about a month on their own since they were becalmed for three weeks in 3.03#so now we’re in November#just in time for Jack’s line in 3.06 that he intends to have shaken English control from Nassau ‘by Christmas’#so it’s November-ish for the second half of the season which goes by comparatively quicker#and then I Think the timeskip between seasons 3&4 is something like two months?#I feel inclined to argue for more but I feel boxed in by the fact that it’s Winter in Philly in the second half of s4#and the first half alone takes at least three weeks to a month#so for it to still be That Snowy in Philly dates it to February imo#and so we close out in February/March#that’s my understanding of the timeline#I might be slightly off with the length of timeskips/how long individual seasons take but as far as the bookends go I’m solid#but I have heard people mention Years of time and it makes me feel like I’ve missed something so please help me lol#between this and the Terror timeline... istg I don’t have a Thing about timelines - I don’t care THAT much about accuracy#I just like to have things in context when considering character arcs and months vs. years makes a big difference to me

rewatching the scene in 2.08 where Abigail tells the story of Alfred Hamilton's murder to Flint and Miranda and two things stand out:
That Alfred Hamilton's ship was bound for Charles Town when it was fell upon by the Walrus and Alfred was murdered, and thus, Teach's prophecy in 3.01 that "everything moves towards it end" is fulfilled. Flint was never going to escape Charles Town. He was always going to be sailing that route toward a grim and tragic end. He was always going to be following the path of his own tragedy, trying to make things right and never ever succeeding.
That it was after the murder of Alfred Hamilton that Peter Ashe decided that he would "dedicate his life to eradicating [the pirate issue.]" This tells me that Ashe probably was not aware that James was "Captain Flint" before this point, but the fact that Hamilton was "hunted" confirmed his identity - and that made Ashe very scared for his own life. According to Morley in 1.04, Hamilton's ship was attacked "a number of years back" and so we can assume that Ashe has been living with this knowledge for at least five years, maybe more. He spent all that time trying his utmost to eradicate pirates all because he was afraid of one pirate in particular. He was afraid of his past misdeeds finally coming back to haunt him in the shape of Captain Flint, who would either kill him or expose him for the liar/traitor he was. I suppose that tells me the same thing that this first point told me - the ending was never going to change. Whether Flint and Ashe had met with Abigail acting as a buffer between them or not, it was always going to end with Ashe trying to exterminate Flint. I highly, highly doubt that he had good things in mind for Flint in 2.10 the way he claims that he does. He knew England would never forgive Flint for his crimes or for his sexual identity. But he knew he could manipulate the situation to where he could get rid of Flint, never had to fear for his life again, AND be hailed a hero for finally subduing Nassau. Reconciliation was never on the table, only Ashe's purely selfish motivations.

(3) favourite buckley-diaz moment?
omg, chris giving buck the card in 3.01. i love it so much!! eddie stepping back with a smile on his face, buck crouching down so he's on the same level as chris, buck (bff)!!!! the whole thing makes me so !!!!
(14) what song(s) do you associate with buddie?
i already answered it, but here are three more favourites <3
repeat until death by novo amor (i've been low, but dammit i bet it don't show / it was heaven a moment ago / i had it, almost / we had it, almost), strawberries by caamp (be my house / strong and sturdy far from town / be my home / just think of all the places we'll go), and heal me by snow patrol (you call out my name like no one before / it sounds like i / am called to a home that i never had)
(25) what is your ideal confession scene
okay, i've got a couple. first is the one i would set to holy ground by banners, and i wrote a whole long post about it here, back in june.
other than that, recently, i had this vision of a romcom style kiss set to heal me by snow patrol. like i don't necessarily think it would play out like this (the other hc i linked i think is more likely imo), but god do i want it to.
basically, eddie is at home and something happens where he Realizes that he needs to confess and he needs to confess now. so he calls buck, who's just getting off shift, and asks "where are you?" and buck is like "on my way home." so, eddie rushes over to buck's apartment, and buck, who should have beat him there, isn't home. then, he calls buck again, and again, asks "where are you?" and buck answers, "home." then eddie starts to say "no, you're not i'm--" only for buck to interrupt him and say "no, eddie, i'm home." and that's when eddie finally catches on.
so he rushes home, and as he's pulling in the driveway, buck's opening the front door, leaning against the frame. while eddie's walking up to him, buck says "that was quick" and as eddie nears him, he replies "they finished construction on sunset, so no more detours." and then eddie reaches him, frames buck's face with his hands, and kisses him <3
send me buddie themed asks <3

Hello, sorry to bother you, but I was reading your older posts and now im so hyperfocusing on Dick Casablancas. He’s potentially the worst person ever, and I think I still really like him??? It doesn’t make sense, but he had so much room for character development!!! He had been through so much trauma and had a objectively pretty bad childhood/parents, and I think he could have been a really decent person if he was allowed to be anything other than the comic relief. Also I love your work.
this is literally the opposite of bothering me. you’ve given me the go ahead to talk about this piece of trash garbage boy as much as i want and for that you have my eternal gratitude!!
honestly, when i say i love dick casablancas, i’m talking about the version of his character that i have created in my head where s3 explored his trauma and he actually worked through his shit and became a better person. but alas.
the big thing to remember with dick is that he was supposed to be a minor character, but the writers liked ryan hansen so much that they started writing him in more until he became a series regular. so by the time they decided they wanted to write him as this funny, likable character, they had already set him up as a guy who treats women like shit and does creepy things with rapey undertones.
and honestly, this is understandable! they didn’t realize how fun dick’s character could be until they had already made him into a shitty person. the problem is that instead of addressing it, they chose to ignore it and hope the viewers would forget.
obviously the biggest problem with dick’s character is him encouraging cassidy to rape veronica as established in 1x21. the writers wrote it thinking that dick would remain an unimportant minor character and that the rape plotline would end with duncan, but they chose later to write dick a bigger role and retcon the rape, giving his actions real, dire consequences, and there was a conscious effort to make the viewers forget about the worst thing the character ever did. it’s a really shitty part of his character, and there’s no divorcing dick from his actions, but the writers could have acknowledged it and had him grow past it, especially after s2 when cassidy’s abuse came to light.
cassidy’s plotline gave them a perfect opportunity to explore dick’s shitty past actions and have him reflect!! sexual abuse thoroughly fucked cassidy up, and s3 could have been a great opportunity for dick to take a step back and see the effect that his gross non-consensual actions could eventually have on the girls he harassed, but the writers ignored it in favor of writing him as the two-dimensional comic relief.
dick had an incredible amount of potential after everything went down with cassidy, and we saw the writers tap into that a little bit with the scene in 3.01 where he shows up at logan’s suite and cries, the scene in 3.18 where he asks logan about what happened on the rooftop, and the scene in 3.18 where he calls his dad out on his bullshit (as well as the more subtle way they had him spend basically all of s3 drunk), but they could have done so much more with it and just didn’t!! dick is genuinely one of, if not the most traumatized characters on the show and we deserved to see that side of him much more than we did.
also like you pointed out, dick is the product of two shitty parents, and i think it would also be super interesting to explore his relationship with his dad a little more! because dick was his dad’s golden boy, but his dad also treated cassidy like shit, and to have dick deal with that and kind of start to realize the negative lasting effects his dad’s toxic masculine ideals continue to have on him would’ve been so interesting. so many of his shittier traits are learned behaviors, and that would have been so interesting to highlight
also. this is irrelevant but how fucked up is it that the only place dick had to go after he was kicked out of his dorm was to the building his brother threw himself off of??? how lonely is he that that is the only place he has to go??? and how hard is it for him to live there for at least a year??? the fact that he came to logan’s suite saying “i have nowhere else to go” ...the thing is he could’ve easily gone home because his dad skipped town and kendall’s dead but like??? he chooses the place his brother died over the place where he lived which is absolutely heartbreaking. like, the neptune grand is where cassidy left mac, tried to kill veronica, where he killed woody, and where he killed himself and dick still chooses to live there. and i’m definitely reading too much into it but part of me is gonna put his decision on the fact that he lived in his house with cassidy and didn’t notice anything when he was being abused/killing people/raping veronica and if he lived there alone guilt would definitely overpower him. but at the grand logan is there and dick’s not alone and yeah, it’s where cassidy died, but dick wasn’t there to witness everything that happened that night, and he really couldn’t specifically have stopped the actions of that night, but he blames himself for not noticing something was off with cassidy and bullying him and being home might remind him of that.
in conclusion: girls don’t want boys girls want a solid narrative arc that focuses on dick casablancas and his unresolved trauma. thank you so much for the valid asf ask.

[3.01] legacies, why?
first off, why is Alyssa still a student?
she legit sent the headmaster and his daughters to a dangerous prison world because of some rivalry of mean girl-ness with Lizzie?
well, she also did discover the prison worlds when she was a kid and Alaric and Emma mind wiped her or something which left her with a bad impression on them both since they threatened to send her there because of ‘bad behavior’ likeeeee which is why she included him in the spell but she endangered two *at the moment* innocent teenagers cuz of a damn rivalry, she wasn't taken over by dark magic or anything that was all her, she coulda just sent Alaric and Emma if she were there too
then again, one could also ask why the fuck is Josie still a student when she literally killed another one and attempted to kill her own sister too. we'll get to her later
i hope Kaleb and Jed just stay friends that eventually turns into a relationship bc i cant handle them fighting over this toxic undeserving girl
Like, pls, don't have them still be into this girl, it isn't a good idea
the worst part of it is she's the only Asian female representation (except for Kaylee, but you know what I mean, Josie is portrayed as white while Alyssa Chang is not) on the show and she's the mean girl everyone hates, like come on people
Chad’s a total broni, he really wanted that pegasus
why are Maliwhore monsters still coming?
Dammit Julie Plec, I thought we talked about this.
Honestly you know what? I would've been fine if they just started the season a few months in the future and they made a small comment about Maliwhore and how they fixed it, just deus ex machina style, it's over and done time for new big bads and new plots
landon being stubborn to be brought back was so funny for some reason
FOR FUCKS SAKE JULIE PLAGUE STOP USING THE WORDS 'HERO' and 'BAD GUY' IN YOUR SHOW
Raf legit said Hope was in a 'hero coma' and Landon dying a 'hero's death' all leads to tragedy and Landon was like 'can't let the bad guy win'
for fucks sake
THIS ISN'T A SUPERHERO SHOW I THINK ACTUAL SUPERHERO SHOWS HAVE USED THESE KEY WORDS LESS
and
in other news, Wade remains one of my favorites,
Alaric just happened to have the actual sword of Excalibur? really?
well the green knight showed up after nimue, lady of the lake and the sword just got stuck in a rock
im seriously considering starting a petition for Julie Plague to just fucking listen to the fans about what we actually wanna see on this show
everyone just ran away asdfgjkllh
pedro just stepped up, love him, but the key is to limit his appearances to keep it up, if you use his running gag on the show too much it's just bland after a while
oh my god, Jed, stop being into Alyssa, you're clearly meant to be with Kaleb
how much you wanna bet Nimue is evil too? (i was wrong, but she was def annoying)
the reaction the kids had when nimue said 'or your world will be plunged into darkness' and kaleb just laughed, that was perfect and MG adding 'we've dealt with this before, a lot'
like, yep, that's how you know it's getting old
Julie, stop using 'end of the world' as a reason for the kids to do something it's so boring and anti-climactic cuz guess what? we KNOW they're gonna win and the world'll be fine
oh gods, you people are so reliant on Hope
for fucks sake, it's worse when it's Alaric that delivers that line like you're a grown ass man who's been in this game for decades, you've seen it all, and yet you've come to rely on a 17 year old to do everything for you
no wonder she wants to stay asleep
Alyssa leaving and saying 'Good luck beating one without me' ?????
tf, that's what they've been doing since??like?? always??
so apparently you can only wield the sword if you have kings blood in your veins and even though she isn't actually royalty, Hope is sorta royalty in the werewolf community and her dad was the king of New Orleans, so i guess what im trying to say is she's totally a princess and she coulda wielded it
ok, if im disappointed by everything in this season (and according to the first ep i have no doubt i will be)
the only requirment i have for this season is for Hope wolfing out at least once, that's all i ask for this season, not a plot that makes sense, not a lack of superhero bullshit, not even a good villain, just Hope wolfing out
wait, so is Raf like royalty too? that's actually not bad, he and Hope coulda been such a power couple
landon kissed her and she woke up
thats so stupid
thats so stupid
thats so stupid
thats so stupid
AND legit in contrast of their previous ep where Hope legit says 'im not kissing someone sleeping, consent is a real thing'
wow, Julie, letting them have their fairytale moment but nothing for Hosie huh?
her waking up because she doesnt want to face the grief was so boring, why not make it an actual foe going after her?? some magical problem i mean?? it feels like they left on a biggie like she's not waking up and its a big deal but next thing you know it's not a magic problem or a foe, she just doesnt wanna face grief, ffs
its good that josie's leaving to get better, otherwise her whole plot in the show woulda been her being sad and not wanting to help out cuz she's scared of herself and getting picked on so yeah
what-
lizzie you didnt ruin the field day, a monster did that, relax
OH GODS SHE DID NOT JUST GIVE HIM A SUPERHERO NAME
UGHHHHHHHH
OH MY GOD HOPE AND LANDON STOP TALKING ABOUT SUPER SQUAD AND BAT SIGNALS
GODSDAMMIT
klaus mikaelson would be so disappointed in this show
you know what i'd like to see?
some goddammed consequences
like let the kids mess up and have actual tragedies happen in town that they have to deal with
honestly the writers don't know a good thing even when the whole fandom is literally yelling it at them

MONTHLY MEDIA: January 2020
Hey here’s how I spent the start of this fine new year!
……….FILM……….
Tumblr media
Parasite (2019) I was so focused on the plot that I don’t think I fully appreciated the beauty in this film. Watching this video helped a lot. One thing I admit (light spoilers to follow...skip past if you don’t want anything spoiled) is that I assumed there would be some sort of genre/fantastical element to the whole film. Because I’ve only seen The Host and Snowpiercer (loved both), I think I expected there to be a genre component to the whole thing. When they go down into the basement I really thought it was heading in that direction, and I definitely felt a little let down because of it. BUT after seeing the whole film, I feel like the themes and narrative were stronger because of how real it all felt. (END OF SPOILERS) I think it’s a film I’d like to rewatch to better appreciate the layers, but ho boy is it an emotional gutpunch.
Jojo Rabbit (2019) Just the best. The structure and (some) of the characters felt familiar, but it’s that comfort that makes the changes or introduction of an imaginary Hitler all the more interesting. Beautifully directed and the shifts in tone are so seamless that I really have a hard time pointing out where they happen.
Tumblr media
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) A little late to this but it was as good as I’d heard. It had the pacing, spirit, and lightness of late 90s/early 2000 adventure movies and I hope more films like this are getting the go ahead. Now to wait 3 years before seeing the sequel.
Between Two Ferns: The Movie (2019) A fun road trip movie that dips into scathing commentary on hollywood and talk shows? Absolutely. It worked well in building off of the webseries and the bloopers during the end credits really made it for me. Also I should’ve been playing Comedy Bang Bang Bingo while watching the movie. Anyway it does a great job of balancing the mean with genuine character moments and glimpses of sincerity.
……….TELEVISION……….
Tumblr media
The Bachelor (Episode 24.01 to 24.03) It started out so promising (with the Hannah Brown return) that I was really primed for a format-shaking season. Nothing can quite live up to that beginning and it’s doing the show a disservice. Maybe if they just focused on nice reasonable dates and women getting along it would feel more substantial than the contrived fighting and lies we’re getting. I still believe that the most engaging season will actually be the one with the least drama. Perhaps I’m in the majority for thinking this.
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (Episode 3.01 to 3.03) Reeeeeeally digging this season. Maybe it’s that there isn’t much relationship drama, or because the relationships play a part in the larger plot (as opposed to Riverdale...but that’s another can of worms). The Cthulhu and carnival stuff are offering a nice mix and we’re really getting lots of monster-of-the-week stuff so far. Hopefully there’s more to come!
Swamp Thing (Episode 1.03 to 1.07) It started out strong and moved at a nice pace, but it lost me. Some episodes had a monster-of-the-week, and those were fun but there was a lot more focus on the locals around the town instead of Swamp Thing. I appreciate a Swamp Thing-centric show would cost a looooooot more, but I also think that’s what most of the fans would want, right? Maybe if it was a 4-ep series it could really go all out and make a splash.
……….READING……….
Tumblr media
Dracula vs. Hitler by Patrick Sheane Duncan (Complete) The title and back cover allude to a different, pulpier story, and it takes a while to adjust to the less bombastic narrative. The alternate history you DO get is great, and I think it’s because I didn’t mind a story with a hint of vampire set during the second world war. I’d still love to read a pulpy vamps vs. nazis novel, so if you have one then let me know. This wasn’t perfect, but I enjoyed it.
Head Lopper Volume 3: Head Lopper & the Knights of Venora by Andrew Maclean and Jordie Bellaire (Complete) There’s been a shift and a progression across the first three volumes of Head Lopper. It’s gotten more bold with its storytelling, a little more loose with its artwork (sometimes a hit and miss...I frequently go back because I feel like I’ve missed something in a previous panel) and the sheer scale of the world is expanding so quickly. It’s quickly becoming my favourite modern comic that captures the spirit of what I imagine pulp stories to be. Worth checking out vol. 1 if you haven’t already.
Tumblr media
The Magicians: Alice’s Story by Lev Grossman, Lilah Sturges, and Pius Bak (Complete) If you haven’t read any of the Magician’s trilogy by Grossman, this is a great point of entry to see if you’d like the tone, characters, and general premise. If you HAVE read the first novel, this doesn’t branch too far the main narrative. I would’ve liked to spend a little more time with Alice on her own outside of what we see from the novel (and Quentin’s point of view) because what we do get is fantastic. I’m not sure it adds a lot of new elements to the novels but take that for what it is.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Legendary Edition  by Akira Himekawa (Complete) As far as a comic adaptation of a game, it really retains a lot of the core components. There are fun asides and elements get expanded further and it reads really well. Adaptations across media can be tricky but I think this is worth checking out if you liked the game. With that said, there’s a bonus story at the end that is so unrelated to the game and core world that it felt like a miss. It just felt like the author had a completely different story to tell and tried to shoehorn it into this property and it didn’t work. So if you pick it up, know that the best ending is the one you got in the game.
……….AUDIO……….
Tumblr media
Yo, Is This Racist (Podcast) I’ve only recently started listening to this, but I really dig the format and the hosts are fun. Part reflection on current events, part interview, part commentary on society...it’s just all very good and funny and also good again.
……….GAMING……….
Tumblr media
Baby Is You (Arvi Teikari) Never have I felt more frustrated, rewarded, and impressed by a game. I originally thought it was a sort of “there are endless ways to solve each stage!” game but it turns out the later levels have very specific solutions and that changed my perspective. It’s challenging but fun and uses lots of logic and creative thinking and I just don’t know how to describe how great this game is. Playing it on Switch is nice for the ease of playing a level or two before quitting, but I’m sure it’s fun elsewhere as well.
Tumblr media
Neverland: A Role-Playing Game (Andrews McMeel Publishing) So I wrote a setting based on J. M. Barrie’s works and it’s getting published! The weekly group is taking a break from the megadungeon to try this out and it’s been a lot of fun! I will post more in depth recaps of the party’s adventures but so far, they’ve found a small village and nearly died to crocodiles.
A Red & Pleasant Land (Lamentations of the Flame Princess) It’s been aaaaaaaages since this group has had a chance to get together but it’s always so fantastic when we can make it work. The game is really getting to the point where the party has done enough that their actions are having consequences and the group...is adjusting to this. Right now they need to investigate a murder that they themselves are responsible for and I’m VERY keen to see how they approach it.
And that’s it! As always, let me know if you have any recommendations for what to read or watch or hear or play and happy Friday.

It: Chapter One (2017) in s3, part one
“all the bad things that happen in this town are because of one thing. an evil thing.”
[continued in part two]
this whole season has been a love letter to stephen king, citing many of his works. it: chapter one was referenced heavily in 3.17 but it’s been in the mix since 3.01 (item 1).
in it, every 27 years an evil entity comes out of hibernation to torment a small maine town, stealing children and making adults blind to what’s happening. a group of kids, all bullied outcasts, decides they’ve had enough and try to hunt it down and kill it. that’s not easy to do when it knows all their deepest fears and uses these to trick, torment and hurt them.
in rd, people are also being shown things from inside their own minds; hallucinations of fear or guilt while under the influence of drugs (like the gk figure or dead midge). and, at the farm, dead loved ones (item 3).
in the same way that the presence of the evil thing in derry, maine, is signaled by countless missing children posters, the town of riverdale has been marked with threatening graffitied symbols of the gargoyle king. the creepy children’s tv program that brainwashes every derry household is similar to the g&g game and perhaps even to the farm’s infectious influence spreading through the township.
whether or not the farm and the game are connected, both subplots withstand comparison to the film. also, this season’s emphasis on the themes of lost childhood innocence and a little bit of exploration of a town’s past.
instead of following the same characters from childhood into adulthood like in the novel it, rd presents a narrative of evil confronted first by the parent generation and then again by their kids (item 4).
there’s also a parallel between the losers club’s blood pact and the midnight club’s spit pact. interestingly, these were completely opposite promises: the losers club promised to return to derry if it ever came back, while the midnight club promised to conceal what happened and never revisit it.

hey there, im very sick and sad at the moment, do you have super fluffy(preferably multichapter) fics?
Hey Nonnie,
Fluffy multichapters? I’ll see what I can do :-) Most multichapters will contain some angst, though, even when the story is mostly fluff.
Here are some virtual hugs for you in the hopes of making you feel a bit better XOXOXO

A Month, A Week and Three Days by @it-avi
"Why does everyone take me seriously when I talk about that?" Kurt mused. "My Step-Brother, my Dad, my-" he stumbled over his words for a second. "-Blaine." He finished lamely, his cheeks turning quickly to a rosy, adorable pink.
A Place to Stay by ItsNotEasyBeingQueen
Kurt is a blogger who has reserved a room at a hotel for Fashion Week - a hotel which just happens to be managed by the charming Blaine Anderson.  Circumstances force them into each other's lives for the week in a way neither of them expected.  What exactly will happen when Blaine gives Kurt a place to stay?
A Universe Where Prop 8 And Other Related Homophobic State Laws Have Long Been Defeated by  @rockinhamburger
Fast-forward several years in the future. Kurt and Blaine are navigating the waters of marriage, and everything that entails.
Along for the Rides by @slayediest
AU.  Blaine and Kurt get their summer romance on. Mostly fluff, awkward flirting, a side of misunderstanding and some hanky panky.
Another Time, Another Place by elfinder
What if Kurt had met Blaine a year earlier? How would his life have changed? In his sophomore year, during the spring, Kurt Hummel ends up by chance meeting a charming young man named Blaine Anderson, who turns out to be in his own Glee club. The two begin down the road of becoming friends and then the journey that their relationship takes them. Will they be able to face any problems ahead? No matter what they may be?
Black and White by rainjoy
Kurt and Blaine do a crossword. Amongst other things.
Click and Press Send by @loveheartlover​
Blaine Anderson is 18 years old and in his final year at McKinley High. His best friends know everything about him- apart from that whole thing where he's in love with an online blogger.
ThreeDomsToRuleThemAll are the best thing to ever happen to Blaine; three friends who post audio and video that more than satisfies his need to submit, and Kimber is the man who makes every Thursday the best day of Blaine's week. It's just a shame that Blaine is little more than another number, another follower to him. He doesn't even know Blaine exists.
Until one day, he does.
This is their story.
Crema verse by @twobirdsonesong​
Kurt’s just landed a job at Vogue as Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant. One of his tasks is to bring her coffee in the morning.  Enter Blaine, the barista.  This is the story of how they change each other’s lives.
Equality by idoltina
Obligatory 'gay marriage becomes legal in New York and the boys react' fic.Also: Blaine just wants a blowjob. His elderly neighbor, Kurt's parents, and a plan that's been in the making for three and a half years all serve as sources to Blaine's seemingly never-ending sexual frustration.
Excited about things by @a-simple-rainbow​
"It's not fair because I'll never get to make fun of your pictures!" He whines and Kurt stops dead on his track. The silence is thick and then Blaine sighs and laughs "Relax, I'm kidding." "I'm… I…" "You're gonna have to get used to blind jokes if this is gonna work." Blaine announces, smirking as he leaves the kitchen, glass in hand. (Blind!blaine, Skank!Kurt, FLUFF)
Gourmet Rhapsody by @hazelandglasz
Kurt has been working as a designer in a high-end fashion house but he just reaches his emotional limit.He goes through a burnout and during the time he has been given to recover, he goes back to what has always been his way to cope with stress : cooking and more particularly baking.It acts as an epiphany : why does he keep on working for someone else who doesn’t really let him make the right decisions and put too much pressure on him, if he can try being his own boss ?With Blaine’s support and Adam’s collaboration, he opens “Nibble on”, a bakery that cares about feeding you, body and soul.
How Kurt Hummel Loses His Virginity by @scatter-the-stars​
Tired of being a virgin, and not having anybody be interested in him, shy and insecure, Kurt, decides that for his twentieth birthday, as a present to himself, he will hire an escort and lose the big V.  Little does he know, that when he meets Blaine, his escort, everything will change.
How Many Days... by @fictionallylost
How many days does it take to fall in love? For Music Producer, Blaine Anderson it’s just another day at the office working on a valentines record for an international, top selling artist; with the idea of love as far from his mind as possible…that is until he meets lead backing vocalist, Kurt Hummel.
In Want of Magic by @trufflemores
3.01-4.01. "I just want my senior year to be magic."
Italian Boy by @kookaburrito
Every Saturday morning Kurt takes the bus to Little Italy. During the ride he keeps seeing the same cute boy who reads Italian books, and decides to learn the language, you know, just because it might turn out useful in the end.
Jump by @scatter-the-stars
It's been over a year since the injury that took away his dream.  No longer able to take the questions and concerns, Kurt has escaped to a small town to think about what he wants.  What he doesn't expect to find are Blaine and his little girl, who both quickly steal his heart.  And it's not long before he has to make the choice of where his heart truly lies.
life is like a song (i want you to sing to me) by @luthien82​
Kurt and Blaine have been best friends since college. They would do anything for each other, which Blaine proves when Kurt confesses he has to go home for a wedding - a wedding where everyone expects him to bring his long time boyfriend. The thing is: Kurt doesn't have one. But he has a Blaine, who is willing to help. Enter one group of crazy, well meaning friends, a week full of wedding preparations, and lots of sexual tension and you've got yourself a mix that's just bound to blow up in their faces...
Loving You Is Easy by @mrscriss2012
Single parent Kurt is moving back to Ohio. Having been hurt before, will he ever find anyone to love and trust again?
Make the Yuletide Gay by @razorsharpquill
When the invitation comes, Blaine Anderson is delighted -- he can't think of a better way to usher in the holidays than an impromptu Warbler reunion to celebrate one of their own getting married. Unfortunately that includes ALL of the Warblers, including his ex-boyfriend Sebastian. Avoiding the ex might just call for drastic measures -- and Blaine knows just the man for the job.
Missing Pieces by @sunshineoptimismandangels
Even after living in New York City for three years Kurt Hummel still hasn't found love. He thought that the city of his dreams would make all of his dreams come true, but maybe he just isn't made for romance. That is until Kurt is home for the summer, helping his father run his growing Android Repair shop and getting to know hid dad's latest acquisition, a handsome and sweet android with curly hair, and a kind smile and a love for musicals. Maybe Kurt will discover that love isn't what he always thought it was.
NYADA Crushes by @notthetoothfairy
Kurt doesn’t think it’s going to be a big deal if he posts an anonymous message on the NYADA Crushes Facebook page about the cute guy he just saw fall on his ass in front of the NYADA main entrance. Little does he know that Blaine is going to be his dance TA once the new school year starts, and that Blaine has a history with NYADA Crushes, too.
Operation Secret Santa by @ckerouac
Kurt can't stop staring at the cute guy who comes by the coffee station near his desk every morning, but can never muster up the courage to say hello.  Until the assignment for their office Secret Santa is revealed and his reads 'Blaine Anderson'.  Written in pieces for Klaine Advent 2017.
Shiftings by @chazzam (check out the entire verse, it’s lovely!)
Shiftings 'verse #1 - The shift in their relationship didn't come out of left field at all.  Beneath the surface, things had been changing all along.  Set right after THE KLISS.  Kind of fluffy.
Somebody to Love by @bazllton
Klaine Coffee shop AU in which Kurt is a barista and Blaine is a dorky customer. Basically just lots and lots of fluff.
Sum verse by flaming_muse
The whole of Kurt and Blaine’s relationship is greater than the sum of its parts. Scenes of two boys in love.
Three Weeks of Summer by @antarcticbird
Kurt just wants to get some work done, Rachel just wants him to relax, and Blaine shows up and makes everything even more complicated than it is already.
