Yeah, Cleo mostly mopes on her tree when she’s in the harness.

Don’t worry Cleo! We’ll get to the fun part eventually...

14. What (angst) tropes/elements/scenarios get you the worst?

The worst is when a child is taken away, like when baby Violet’s birth mom took her from Kurt and Blaine in the Lights Will Guide You Home series by @gingerandfair. (I mentioned this one in an earlier post.)

I don’t know what the fandom term for this is, or even if there is one, but I’ll call it “secret sacrifice.” When one character gives something up to benefit someone else, but doesn’t tell them. This, of course, leads to misunderstandings and an emotional reveal. Even though I know what will happen, I still stay on the angst train. Gets me every time. An example of this would be when Kurt agrees to marry his former betrothed in The Sidhe by @chazzam.

Also, when a character who has suffered abuse from bullies or others and finally realizes their worth. The very best example of this is the story Waiting for a Happy Ending, which is the sequel to Looking for a Happy Ending by @fireflyca. There are several moments that kill me in those fics, but I will never forget the scene when Blaine watches the old video of himself talking about wanting to marry Anderson Cooper, and realizes his parents don’t have an issue with his sexuality. His whole worldview changed in that moment. I still think about it. (Note: Those fics are intense and some scenes may be triggering for readers. Heed the author’s warnings.)

23. Biggest (porn) turn-offs in fic?

Incest, hardcore BDSM, watersports, bestiality, rape, comeplay.

40. Do you like fluff?

Yes, but not all of it. I have favorite fluff authors, and I’ll read anything they write. The absolute best fluff writer is @alilactree. I like her stuff because she is soooo funny. I love her entire catalog--not exaggerating.

My other go-to for funny fluff is @villiageidiot. Mild angst in her stuff, but you know that it’s all for the laugh, so it doesn’t feel like angst. Great early!Klaine fics. Her fic The Bro Code is especially awesome.

Thing I haven't seen anyone mention:

At the beginning of the episode when TK reveals Carlos was updating his will, it's very obvious that everyone thought Carlos had proposed.

There were several shots to TK's left hand in the episode, including right before the proposal scene.

Thinking about the locker room scene *ahem* and then I was thinking about the scene in UWMA when Dean and Win are talking in the locker room and Dean's like "and what about your relationship?" And Win's like "idk what you mean" and then Dean's like "I have eyes" and then Win's says and I quote "HE'S SO NAUGHTY."

Do you think he was think about the sex they had like a few feet from that spot?

The Prince(ss) Bride (1/2)

Pairing: Kurt/Blaine, background Blaine/Sebastian

Rating: PG

Note: some dialogue used (close to) verbatim from the film of The Princess Bride.

* * *

Blaine grew up on a small farm in the country of Florin.  His favorite pastimes were riding his horse and tormenting the farm boy that lived there.  His name was Kurt, but Blaine never called him that.Nothing gave Blaine as much pleasure as ordering Kurt around.  "Farm boy, polish my horse's saddle," he said, voice high and supercilious.  "I want to see my face shining in it by morning."

All Kurt ever said in response was "As you wish," and as the months passed, Blaine came to realize that what Kurt meant was, of course, I love you.  And what was amazing was the day that Blaine realized that he loved Kurt back.

But Kurt had no money for marriage, and so he set off across the sea to seek his fortune.  When the news came that his ship had captured by the Dread Pirate Dalton, who never left captives alive, Blaine shut himself up in his room and did not speak for days. 

* * *

Five years later, Sebastian, the crown prince of Florin, sought a husband of surpassing handsomeness and faithfulness.  After a long search, he came upon Blaine, still living on the farm, but now having to saddle his own horses. 

Prince Sebastian was immediately enamored of Blaine's soft curls (as hair gel did not exist in Florin) and wide eyes-- he would be entirely endearing to the people, and the perfect sort of fiance to kill just before the wedding.  Prince Sebastian's favorite entertainment was warfare, you see, and sending the country into a violent struggle due to poor murdered Blaine was exactly what he desired.  And perhaps it would have been better for Blaine as well, he reasoned, considering that even on moving into the palace and being provided with fabulous clothing and a new horse, Blaine still yearned after his lost love.

So he arranged with Jesse, a conniving agent de guerre from Sicily, and his two compatriots, Finn (a giant whose prowess was known throughout the land) and Santana (a swordswoman skilled in a variety of deadly styles), to take care of his delightful fiance.  Things were proceeding precisely as Prince Sebastian had planned.

* * *

Blaine's only comfort in the days before the wedding was his daily ride.  On one of the last days of autumn, he rode out to the coast to try to catch one last glimpse of the sea that had taken his true love.

On this day, though, he was stopped by a man whose hair sort of reminded him of his own, a giant, and a woman who looked like she'd bitten into a lemon.  He was startled by the interruption of his routine, and his trepidation grew when the giant approached.  Blaine started to raise a hand to ward him off, but the giant pinched the back of his neck, and Blaine fainted, toppling off of his horse and into the waiting arms of the giant.

He awoke several hours later on a boat.  This wouldn't have been much of a problem, but Blaine's hands and feet were tied and the three people who had stopped him were discussing how best to kill him.  So it wasn't really the best way to wake up.  Somewhat ridiculously, Blaine had faith in his fiance, Prince Sebastian-- after all, hadn't the man gone through the trouble of ennobling Blaine, just so the two of them could marry?  Never mind the fact that Blaine didn't really have feelings for his fiance (those would surely come in time), but someone must be coming to rescue him.

But on the other hand, Blaine had always fancied himself at least a little bit competent at taking care of himself, so as soon as he got his hands and feet free (easier than it first seemed!), he jumped over the side of the boat.  They couldn't be too far from land, surely!

After the mess with the shrieking eels, though, Blaine was more than happy to reach dry land the next morning.  Being pulled up the rope by the giant was more than a little terrifying, though, and Blaine would have much rather stayed and tried his luck with whoever had been following them since the middle of the night.  When he tried to mention as much to the curly-haired man (whose name was Jesse, apparently, and seemed to spend more time arguing with the other two than he did threatening Blaine).

Jesse pulled Blaine along, leaving the sour-faced woman to deal with the mysterious man in black.  He was torn, because he didn't know whether to cheer for Jesse's accomplice or for the unknown man-- he knew that one led to his certain death, but he had no idea what the man in black wanted with him.

They ran and they ran, over hills and rocks, jumping tree branches and leaping across streams.  Jesse's hand was strong on Blaine's wrist, pulling him behind.  Jesse glimpsed the man in black on the horizon after they'd been running for nearly half an hour, so they left Finn-the-giant at some boulders with strict orders to dispatch of him as quickly as possible.

Aside from the occasional crash of rock-on-rock, Blaine heard nothing but the harsh panting of his own breath, until finally Jesse called a halt at a small dip between two hills.  He pushed Blaine down onto a log, and then proceeded, oddly, to set out lunch.  But he did not permit Blaine to eat, nor did he offer his captive water.

Blaine finally saw-- or, well, heard, as Jesse had tied a blindfold tightly around his eyes-- the beginnings of Jesse's plan when someone (presumably the man in black) came running over the hill that Blaine was facing.  "Stay still and stay silent," Jesse warned Blaine quietly, "and I might let you live for longer than the next five minutes."

Blaine was about to ask when he felt cold steel pressed against his throat; evidently Jesse had means to back up his threat.  He listened but could not speak as Jesse challenged the other man to a battle of wits, the two of them bantering back and forth. 

At the man in black's first words, though, Blaine sucked in a breath and hardly took another.

The man in black sounded like Kurt.

He sounded like Kurt, and a wave of grief so strong it nearly choked him rose up in his throat, because he would not-- he could not believe that this man, this brigand, had the voice of the man he loved.

Blaine couldn't pay attention to the battle of wits taking place in front of him, because every word spoken by the man in black drove the pain just a bit deeper into his heart.  Even the relief he gained when Jesse put down the knife was short-lived as the man in black kept talking, ruining everything Blaine had built back up with his perfect voice.

He imagined the man's smirk; he imagined where he must have learned to talk so much like Kurt.  It was no secret in Florin that Blaine had a lost love-- Sebastian had sent out bards to tell the story of Blaine and Kurt to win his people's sympathy-- and so the man in black must have come to taunt Blaine and perhaps prove a point about the safety and security of the soon-to-be co-crown prince of Florin.  Because the Dread Pirate Dalton never took prisoners, and Kurt has been dead these long five years.

The man in black was the Dread Pirate Dalton.

* * *

The Dread Pirate Dalton left Jesse still and lifeless on the ground and slipped Blaine's blindfold off with careful fingers.  His hands were rough with calluses against Blaine's face, and he pulled Blaine to his feet. 

They were running again, and Blaine wished that he'd taken a moment to eat or drink something before the Dread Pirate Dalton snatched him up again.   He could not imagine a reason the the man to have taken him from the three who clearly wanted him dead, but he had no faith that now, as a captive of the Dread Pirate Dalton, he would be left alive.

Finally, the pirate threw him against a tall rock, and Blaine caught himself before he could bruise too badly.  "Catch your breath," the Dread Pirate Dalton said. 

Blaine's only hope lay now in keeping himself alive until Prince Sebastian found him again.  "If you release me, whatever you ask for ransom, you'll get it, I promise."  He knew that it was wild to promise the Dread Pirate Dalton anything-- the man must have been promised things far greater than a prince's ransom.

The Dread Pirate Dalton laughed, and Blaine's heart sank.  "And what are your promises worth, your highness?" he spat.  "I have heard the story of you and your poor lost love.  Do you believe that any promise you make to me is worth the breath you use to speak it?"

"I have loved more deeply than a killer like yourself could ever dream," Blaine hissed, bringing his face in close.  He could not see the man's face through his mask, but the quirk of his lips was so like Kurt's that it was all Blaine could do to keep from hitting him across the face.  "I know who you are-- you're the Dread Pirate Dalton, admit it!"

"With pride," the Dread Pirate replied, smiling (the way that Kurt had smiled at Blaine, sometimes, and he hates that his heart aches to see that smile.)  "Now, what can I do for you?"

"You can die slowly, eaten alive by the Shrieking Eels," Blaine said.  His recent experience was sticking with him.

"Such vehemence," the Dread Pirate Dalton said.  "What have I done to earn your ire?"

"You killed my love," Blaine said, infusing the words with all of the hate that he had for this man, who was the entire reason that Kurt was dead and gone, but who sounded and looked so much like him.

"It's possible," the Dread Pirate Dalton admitted.  "I kill a lot of people.  And this love of yours-- what was he?  Another prince like your priggish fiance?"

"No," Blaine said.  "No, his name was-- his name was Kurt, and he was a farm boy.  He was mine, and he was perfect."

"Well, I can hardly blame you for marrying up," the Dread Pirate Dalton said, shrugging.  "But I think I remember this farm boy of yours.  This would have been what, three years ago?"

"Five," Blaine said tonelessly.

"He died well-- that should please you.  He just looked up and me and said 'Please.  Please, I need to live.'"  The Dread Pirate Dalton paused, as if considering how to continue his story.  "I remember the please.  When I asked him what was so important, he simply said 'true love,' and he spoke of a man of such wit and faithfulness.   I can only assume that he meant you-- you should be glad that I killed him before he found out what you really are." 

There was a sneer stretched across the Dread Pirate Dalton's face, and Blaine had to restrain himself once more from hitting him or pushing off of the hilltop.  "And what am I?" he seethed, wondering what

"Faithfulness-- he spoke of your enduing faithfulness-- when you found out he was gone did you get engaged to your prince the same day, or did you wait a whole week out of respect for the dead?"  There was such fury in the man's eyes that Blaine could scarcely fathom it-- after all, he'd done no harm to this man. 

But he could no longer bear to be mocked so-- did the man in black not see his pain?  Did he not hear the agony in Blaine's voice when he spoke of Kurt, speaking so carelessly of how Kurt had died?  "I died that day," Blaine nearly shouts.

There was a clatter of hooves, and a long string of horses appeared on a hilltop-- it must be Prince Sebastian, here to rescue him. But Blaine was sick of waiting for Prince Sebastian to rescue him, and he saw that the sound had distracted the Dread Pirate Dalton for one critical moment.  "You can die too, for all I care," he hissed, and he shoved the Dread Pirate Dalton down the steep, steep hill.

As the Dread Pirate Dalton tumbled down the hill, hands smacking against rocks and his mask slipping off his head, he cried, voice echoing off the hillside, "As you wish."

Fic Rec: "Looking For A Happy Ending" by firefly_ca

Title: Looking for a Happy Ending Author: FireflyCa (on LJ and Tumblr) Rating: NC-17 for disturbing themes and scenes Pairing: Kurt/Blaine Warnings: Child abduction, non-con, sexual/physical/emotional/child abuse, prostitution/sexual exploitation of a minor, drug/alcohol abuse, violence, suicidal behaviour, internalized homophobia, bullying. Inspired by real events. Status: Complete! Author's Summary: Blaine Anderson hasn't been Blaine Anderson for eight years. He doesn't remember much about his old family and his life before he moved in with the man he calls his father. Together they move from town to town, always drifting before Blaine can get too familiar with his surroundings. Then one day they end up in Lima, Ohio, and Blaine finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew.

Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four | Part Five | Epilogue

I... I can barely even speak. This fic is one of the most powerful and unsettling stories I've ever had the honour to read. It's legitimately one of the darkest, most upsetting, most gut-twistingly uncomfortable things I've ever read. It's also a masterpiece of gorgeous writing, handles a difficult topic with astonishing care, and does an absolutely outstanding job of getting into the head of a character who has been utterly broken apart and put back together wrong. 

It's hard to write about something as devastating and horrific as child abduction, but Fireflyca manages to do it with grace and care. She works through what happens to Blaine -- they way he's been conditioned to think, the mindgames, the reality of living day to day with an abuser -- with utter respect for the subject matter. This fic is slow-building, and careful, and is an incredibly fascinating and heartbreaking look into the life of someone whose entire world is a lie. There is a section near the end that made me feel physically, actually ill because it so perfectly depicted the way that real-life media handles the cases of children who have been abducted, and it's just horrendous. 

That being said, please  read the warnings before you start to read this. "Looking for a Happy Ending" is hard, and upsetting, and based off of things that happened to real people; it's about a topic that can really trigger people. But if you can handle this kind of subject matter, I genuinely can't recommend it enough. It'll break you down, but I promise it will put you back together again.

(This fic now has a sequel: Waiting for a Happy Ending.)

Title: Where Wind and Water Meet Artist: morph0fairy Author: firefly_ca Rating (art/fic if different): PG Word Count: 24K Warnings (if any): Major character death wrapped up in magic realism. Fic Summary: Inspired by/loosely based on George MacDonald's At The Back of the North Wind. Blaine has never behaved the way normal children do and has always been too quiet and detached from the world around him. Everything changes the day he meets a strange boy named Kurt with the ability to change his appearance and who says he can control the wind. Blaine doesn't know why, but it feels like he's known Kurt forever. AU, but not totally detached from the Glee universe.

Summary: AU. Blaine Anderson lived under another name for almost nine years with an abusive man he was forced to pretend was his father. He always thought his own family had given up on him, but now that he's found out the majority of his life was spent believing a lie, he has to try to reconcile the life he had with the life that was taken away from him. Sequel to Looking for a Happy Ending. 

lskdjflaskj;dfasdf seriously I've been waiting for this sequel. This is an absolutely fantastic sequel so far - I urge you to seriously read the first part (link in the summary) and then go on to the sequel. It's fantastic.

Fic Rec: Waiting for a Happy Ending by firefly-ca

Title: Waiting for a Happy Ending

Author: fireflyca

Pairing: Klaine

Rating: NC-17 for disturbing themes/scenes

Status: WIP, currently 3 chapters

Summary: AU. Blaine Anderson lived under another name for almost nine years with an abusive man he was forced to pretend was his father. He always thought his own family had given up on him, but now that he's found out the majority of his life was spent believing a lie, he has to try to reconcile the life he had with the life that was taken away from him. Sequel to Looking for a Happy Ending.

I stumbled upon the first fic in this series, Looking for a Happy Ending, on livejournal and read the entire thing in one night it was so good. When I heard that Tara was writing a sequel and was looking for a beta, I jumped at the chance, and it's a massive honor to be doing beta work for such a moving piece. The third chapter went up tonight, and if you aren't already reading this gem, GO NOW. Bring tissues.

The situation that Blaine has been put in with this fic is so jarringly different from any type of fic I've read in the past, and yet the author manages to retain the characterization of who Blaine is and the way he would react perfectly. You may shy away from the summary, but the subject and the situations attached to it are handled with such care and such raw emotion that it is well worth the read. 

One of the most striking things about this fic and it's narrative are that while you know that Blaine is coming from a life and a childhood that have warped his way of thinking, you will find yourself following his incorrect thoughts about himself and what he owes to others as normal until another character (Kurt in the most recent chapter) calls the problem to attention and you realize just how WRONG AND SAD AND HEARTBREAKING it is that Blaine has been thinking this way. It gets you into the head of an abuse/rape victim so closely that it will blow you away.

Waiting for a Happy Ending is updated! Whoo hooo! Excuse me while I go get my read on! 

[marslovabledrollgeek]

Lust, greed, and envy (it's the deadly sins, I pretty much HAVE to break the rules and ask more than one)

Hahaha I like the way you think ;)  Thanks!!

Lust- something I find attractive: in general, eyes and/or smile. They have to be particularly interesting/appealing. On a...sexier level, I love full and very toned legs. Like, I die. Edit: I thought of something else! haha. Confidence+high emotional intelligence. Not arrogance, but I like someone who can take control in a crisis, someone I can feel I can lean on if needed. Someone who can keep up with me.Greed- Something I can't get enough of: Boring answer: books-Ok, fine, not so boring answer: kissing. I'm not much of a snuggler/cuddler, but if my significant other and I could forever and only be kissing, I'd be the happiest. Like, I prefer making out than even doing more 'heavier' things. That said, it still has to be someone special, no random kissers. #notjustsomefloozy 

Envy- Something I wish I were better at: Focus. And singing. I'm ok at them, but I wish I kicked ass. (and focus would help me commit to get better health-wise)

Oooh yay! Can I ask 10, 11, and 15 for SPN AND Glee? :D

Ooooooh, I actually can't do spn because I actually haven't traversed into that fandom far enough to read a whole lot of fanfic.  D:

(But!  If you read J2 I highly recommend the homework!verse.  Very, very good.  :D)

10: Are there quotes you remember on the top of your head?

It's a line from on of my favorite fics of all time (Then and Now by Tara1031) because it rings so true to me personally. 

"The beginning of junior year was rough; business school was never Blaine's biggest interest but he's did it because he felt like he should. Despite Kurt's very strict words about reconsidering it when they were in their last year in high school, he'd gone for it.

In the end, business school is tough and cutthroat and not at all fulfilling.

Blaine Anderson has never been the sort of person that gives up though, he always perseveres, always pushes through. It's something he'd fortunately and unfortunately gotten from his father; stubbornness when in pursuit of a goal, even if said goal causes stress and unhappiness."

11: Rec me one story for each rating! (G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17)

OOOH, TALL ORDER.  :D

G:  I'd have to say all the puppy!Blaine and kitty!Kurt drabbles that are floating around.  They're always adorable.

PG:  After All by Tara1031.  Very sad, but so good.

PG-13:  Remarkability by Aelora.  It's beautiful.

R:  Practical Demonstrations by Shia_Lebeouf. 

NC-17:  Porcelain and Velvet by Odd.  And the Lovesong 'verse by preciousmellow.  And I would say Looking/Waiting For a Happy Ending, but you already knew that.  :3

15: Give me five ways to win you over with a fic!

Good grammar (self-admitted grammar-nazi.  ;) )

Deep, thought out plot

Angst.  I love fics that hurt

Length.  Long fic is like crack to me

Characterization.  I know I'm reading a fucking good story when I am reading the words in the character's voice.

Via @fireflyca

I do largely agree with @/wandaluvstacos, with the caveat that’s mentioned above, but also I’m a pedant and remembered one of the textbooks for a Human Sexuality class I had: His Porn, Her Pain (I’ve never managed to read the whole damn thing despite taking the class twice, oof) It’s largely about the problems with unrealistic and non-paywall porn and how that affects cis women in relationships, but......anyway yeah it’s beside the point. Pedantry.

Something that bears mentioning: I get why we need to shame straight girls who fetishize mlm ships but. To any straight girls who consistently relate to or resonate with mlm dynamics on a deep level or see themselves in queer male characters. if by any chance this post from a tiny tiny blog crosses your dash. Please take this moment to very privately consider the possibility that you might not be straight. Or a girl.

[ileliberte]

fireflyca replied to your post: boycottingtrends replied to your post: Still not...

Like you said before Tumblr abandoned us (I think it was you - everything gets fuzzy when Tumblr leaves me haha), now we know why Chris was passive-aggressively bitching about the episode before it aired.

Lol, yeah, it was me. And yes, the stuff with Rachel and Burt was really sweet and nicely done, but the stuff with Blaine/related to Blaine was awfully written. Choice of song that he got to sing to his boyfriend and staging of said song as well as bizarro universe Kurt's above-it-all reaction to someone hurting his boyfriend badly enough for surgery to be needed. What the hell.

[chatterboxrose]

Ok, even though this fic sometimes makes me want to lay in a dark room and sob - it's amazingly well written and addicting to read. It just finished up and the sequel will be posted soon, I think. Seriously. It's amazing. 

BUT pay attention to the warnings. It's not for the squimish and has a LOT of potential triggers. (Basically, if you've ever read "Living Dead Girl" by Elizabeth Scott, you can handle this and pretty much anything else.) 

Summary: AU. Blaine Anderson hasn't been Blaine Anderson for 8 years. He doesn't remember much about his old family and his life before he moved in with the man he calls his father. Together they move from town to town, always drifting before Blaine can get too familiar with his surroundings. Then one day they end up in Lima, Ohio,and Blaine finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew.

I linked to the first chapter/part, but here is the Masterpost of all the chapters. 

Seriously. Really well written. 

[andiheardeverything-archive-blog]

For Glee (because I'm not sure what your other fandoms are - but if I ask a question you really want to answer about one of them, go for it!) - 2, 4, 10 :)

Hi! Yay!

2. The last fic I read...(opens phone)...Oh yeah, it was the most recent chapter of If I Die Young which was amazing, as usual.

4. Five favorite stories? Really? Oh my god. I literally cannot pick this, so I will just list five the first five that I can think of! But I love so, so many!

To be repetitive, If I Die Young is definitely one of my favorites right now. Courtney's ability to completely make a whole world, not just a story and suck me in and make me love OCs as much as I love canon characters never ceases to amaze me. Ugh, and I wish I could write dialogue half as well as she does.

I'm also in love with Lauren's Harder To Breathe, because she has surpassed my original prompt and has turned it into a multichapter fic not only dealing with medical situations, which I love, but also how a family deals with a difficult situation, and how it brings them together and pulls them apart in so many different ways. It really is such a good character study of not only Kurt and Blaine, but Blaine's family and I love it.

Of course I have to say your fic! Because it tore me apart in all the best ways and now you're slowly putting me back together, but ugh it's just so good. I don't know how you do it. It's one of those fics that I can't stop thinking about, even weeks after I've read an update. So, so good :)

Oh god, that's only three. The Lima Job is seriously one of the most hilarious fics I've ever read. Ever. It had me laughing out loud so much that my roommates were legitimately frightened of me. Seriously, everyone should read this. It will definitely make more sense if you read The Dapper Highway Man first, which is just as hilarious.

One that I love, love, love that I never see talked about it ladydreamer's No Day But Today verse. It's so, so good. It's a future fic, zombie apocalypse, mpreg fic, so some people might be turned off of it, but I'd recommend everyone giving it a try even if they don't like mpreg. Because it's just so good. And Kurt with a crossbow is just...good. If you know what I mean.

10. Quotes...uh...I have the most horrible memories ever. I can't even remember the lyrics to songs I've been listening to since I was little. So um, no haha. I'm sure if I searched I could find some, because there are so many amazingly talented authors in this fandom.

Whew.
