The Klaine Reverse Prompt Challenge 2023

Prompt 27:

AU Newspaper columnist Kurt Hummel has become a little jaded after being left at the altar by his fiance. His editor decides Kurt needs a break from covering New York city life, and sends him to the Northernmost town in America, Utqiagvik, Alaska, to cover their 4th of July celebration. Kurt isn't impressed with the small town, and the residents keep telling him to take his complaints to the Mayor. Blaine Anderson is the youngest Mayor ever elected in the town, and Kurt is vexed by his boyish good looks and overly enthusiastic demeanor. Of course, he is eventually worn down by Blaine’s debonair charm and infectious laugh. Slight age gap.

Greetings and salutations! Happy Pride Month to all! I’m not sure if anyone is really following me on here anymore, but if so, I’m looking for a bit of assistance with some upcoming fic.

So I’ve been focusing on the 3rd book in my series (I know it’s taking 6ever and a day, but it’s been a weird few years and I really am on a roll with it as of late), BUT. I have watched Heartstopper an alarming number of times, it has seriously gotten under my skin and made me grapple with shit around my bisexual identity I thought I had long since laid to rest, and now my brain has started to flat-out DEMAND that I write Heartstopper fic with a ferocity I haven’t experienced since the early days of Klaine. I already loved the web comic/graphic novels, but something about the show has created an itch in my emotional core that that I know only writing fic can scratch. So that’s what I’m gonna do. Which brings me to my request.

I’m looking for a British beta to take a pass at my fics before I post them, so they can hopefully sound more authentic and less like they were written by the blundering American douchebag that I am. I don’t require any feedback/editing help beyond that (not that it wouldn’t be welcome, it’s just not necessary and I do need to devote most of my writing time to my actual book), I just need someone who is British, and is either young enough or around young people enough to have a reasonable grasp of age-appropriate slang, word choices, etc.

I probably won’t write anything epic (at least, not in the immediate future), so this wouldn’t be a ton of reading, but I’m definitely gonna be posting some shorter canon-y fics very soon. If I don’t find a volunteer to help Brit-ify my fics I’ll most likely post them anyway, they probably just won’t be as good.

Anyway, message me if you’re interested! If I get more than one response, I will probably just go with whomever I hear from first. And thank you so much in advance to anyone that might be able and willing to do me this enormous favor! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Hi! i'm looking for a fic that was a Game of Thrones inspired one with Kurt Targaryen being married to Khal Blaine. I remember there was some sort of battle where Kurts throat is slit so he can no longer speak. I have scoured the internet for it and cannot find it, though found a few incomplete with a similar premise. I think it was called My Sun and Stars or something similar, it was rated M/E and was complete. I think it was on FF net

it's also on AO3, if this is it! ~Jen

Sun, Moon, and Stars by whatstheproblembaby

GoT/Klaine fusion fic. Kurt Targaryen's older brother is marrying him off to the fearsome Khal Blaine in order to get one step closer to winning back the Iron Throne. Kurt's not super excited about this, but Khal Blaine's got a couple surprises up his sleeves.

(I have it on decent authority that you don't need GoT knowledge to enjoy this fic - just treat it like you would any other fantasy setting!)

ETA Thanks @annepi-blog, who thinks it's this one. It's actually on Scarves & coffee - you'll need to sign in! ~Jen

Under the Open Sky by _hurricane

Glee/Game of Thrones Crossover. When Kurt finds out his evil brother Sebastian sold him in marriage to a savage Dothraki king, Khal Blaine, to win his stolen kingdom back, he doesn't know that love can be found in the most unexpected place.

[eldarvendeglee]

I've never been this frustrated over finding a fanfiction to read. I have to admit that i am used to the vastness of klaine (glee) content. But, for the life of me, i can't find anything that meets my basic tags in tmr ff fandom. So, I'm asking for help. More specifically for suggestions. I've never had any difficulty finding many of my current favorite stories, but this is also the first time that I'm looking for a fic with a female oc, out of the majority of newtmas fics. I'm just looking for a completed fic of tmr, tst, tdc; alternative ending to Newt's death; an omniscient, third person narrator and most importantly an original female character who doesn't go by y/n or you or I. Newt and the girl falling in love ofc! I welcome all the help i can get 'cause I've been searching everywhere for sooo long. I've found on quotev and one on ao3 but not much anywhere else. I really need to get over Newt's death... please help me <3

[angelhummel]

can I ask whos side you were on in the pezberry feud? whether santana or rachel or neither. personally i was on neither because i hated the storyline

ugh i didnt hate the idea of the storyline necessarily lmao i just hated the piss poor resolution to it (as in, there was none)

but yeah im not really on either side, either. same with all the klaine fights where neither of them are ever 100% in the right or in the wrong. and also same with every klaine fight, the answer is usually "stop being dumb and stubborn and actually communicate ffs"

like obviously i understand why rachel would be upset, but i truly dont believe that santana did what she did out of malice. look at the way santana was looking at rachel during "brave" and tell me she had any thought in her head of like "how can i steal all this away from her??" you cant lmao

maybe its a little bit of my pezberry goggles coming thru here but i really think santana had a little inkling of wanting to impress rachel. imitation is the sincerest form of flattery etc

and look at santana's face during and after the audition!! she's so fucking happy and she knows she's killing it! she's got the cutest smile and it's not like it's some kind of evil victory grin like she's already gloating internally about getting to rachel like that. santana has her faults that yes, often go ignored by the fandom, but if you think she was full of malice in that moment then you really must not think she has any character traits other than being an asshole

im not surprised rachel immediately took the situation in the worst way possible but once santana realized how upset she was over it, that was it. they werent going to have an honest open discussion about what happened. rachel lashes out, santana's walls go up, and that's that

so like i see where they're both coming from and they both screwed up and in the end they just needed to talk it over and we never got that so. i cant fully side with either of them. but i will fully side against the entire show, bc it shouldve done a better job of handling this instead of fumbling the ball. but what else could we expect honestly??

Fic writers tag

I was tagged by @kurtsascot, thank you for the tag!

And I'm tagging @calsvoid and @lusthurts and anyone else who wants to participate.

1. how many works do you have an ao3?

I have 37 on AO3 and 80 on FF.net, and most things from my AO3 are on FF excluding like 3 fics. I'm including my FF account because that's where I started posting many many years ago and continued to update until a couple yers ago when I transferred to just posting on AO3. There is a lot of fics on my FF that I haven't crossposted to AO3 yet, and some I probably never will.

2. whats your ao3 word count?

AO3 is 217,634 and FF.net is 287,357

3. what fandoms do you write for?

Nowadays, just Glee, though I do have some WIPs for Stranger Things, Captive Prince, Magnus Archives, and Hatcetfield that I do want to post /someday/. When I started I wrote Supernatural. And over the years I've also written Doctor Who, Takin Over the Asylum, Harry Potter.

4. top 5 fics by kudos

Not So Dapper, Dare, and This Isn't Love all tie for first place with 171. Then there is Chance at 164, I'm Never Letting You Go at 157, Don't You Dare at 150, and Don't Tell Me What You're Thinking at 144.

On FF.Net (by favorites) its The Thoughts I Can't Deny at 163, The Unspoken Rule at 120, A Strange Realization at 142, Icy Love at 101, and Maybe We Can Be Okay at 93.

5. do you respond to comments? why or why not?

I certainly try! I'm always torn between giving hints and secrets and wanting to keep everything close to my chest so the closer someone is to guessing a big plot point or asking a question that I can't answer without spoiling, the less likely I am to respond. Which is why I'm better at responding on one shots, because there's nothing to spoil!

6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Ohhhh, probably Say Your Name While Our Tongues Are Tied. There's probably a Blangst fic from back in the day that has a sadder ending, but they're usually at least hopeful. Say Your Name just feels very helpless, like it's hard to envision a world where anyone walks away from this situation happy, you know?

7. whats the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

A Place To Call Home, probably, even though I haven't posted it yet. The Thoughts I Can't Deny probably would have if I'd actually written an ending for it, lol. Tear Down My Reason is definitely very happy, and I Could Touch the Teardrops on Your Face is probably the sappiest ending.

8. do you get hate on fics?

I know I have in the past but I don't remember for what or why, which means it probably didn't really stick with me. And from what I do remember I think it was largely from people who didn't like the characters or ships I was writing about and would come to bitch about that and I'd be like, if you hate Blaine Anderson so much, why are you reading a Klaine fic? I do kind of remember a Kurtofsky shipper coming to complain about how "abusive" Blaine is and I was just like, sure, Jan, when you ship Kurt with the person who threatened to kill him, you definitely have a leg to stand on.

9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?

I don't as much as I used to and I actually tend to skip over it a lot. I've been much more into the emotional aspect and only really write the sex if I feel like it will add to the heart of what I'm writing.

But oh boy did I used to. And when I did it was pretty much exclusively D/s and kink stuff, and even when it wasn't there would at least be some form of powerplay or marking in an otherwise vanilla scene, just so my kinky brain would have something to latch onto.

10. do you write crossovers? whats the craziest one youve ever written?

Only on occasion? Like I'm currently working on a White Collar/Glee fic and a Magnus Archives/Hatchetfield fic. Aside from that it will be more like just an AU or inspired by a different media. So like, Sebastian Smythe is the flash, but other characters from The Flash don't really appear. Or my Mrs. Winterbourne Seblaine AU. Or the Spies Are Forever inspired Seblaine AU I have currently only managed to write 300 words in.

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

I have. I remember someone turning the original Icy Love (which I still haven't crossposted to AO3, oops) into a Larry fic. And I know I've seen some of my stuff around any time there's a new website stealing things from AO3 and putting it behind a paywall. But at some point I got to lazy to care.

I did have a scare a litte while ago where I thought someone had stolen one of my fics because someone commented saying they'd read it under the username comewhattklaine before and I was like I have /never/ used that username before. I've used a lot of pennames over the years but never that one and I went absolutely crazy trying to find where someone with that username at stolen my fic. And then I realized that on my old Scarvesandcoffee account, I had used that name, but that website had been dead for so long i'd forgotten about it.

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

I feel like I have but I cant for the life of me remember what.

13. have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Yes! @itallstartedwithharry and I wrote Tear Down My Reason together. It was an absolutely incredible experience and I always wish that she had the time to write together again because we worked so well together. I was really good at word vomiting on the page and she was really good at cleaning it up and making it more coherent and actually sounding nice. Which is part of why I still ask her to beta for me on fics that are really important to me because she tends to just get what I'm trying to say better than I do sometimes. Like she's been absolutely incredible with betaing A Place to Call Home for me and I'm so glad to have her because she just makes me a better writer.

14. fave all time ship?

Okay. This one is complicated. Because Klaine was my otp to end all otps for so many many years. Klaine means the world to me, it was so incredibly important to me as a teenager and to me accepting my own queerness and feeling safe to come out to my mom (because we bonded a lot over shipping Klaine) and I have written hundreds of thousands of words about those two.

But Seblaine. Ohmygod Seblaine. I have reached a point in my life where my brain is more interested in the kind of stories those two can supply me. In this concept of quantum entanglement that will always pull them together but never ever let it be /easy/ for them. There's just some ways in which I think they're better for each other, I think in some ways they bring out the worst in each other, but that in turn allows to them to truly see the best in each other too. I think the tragedy of their story as it happened is beautiful and cruel. And I just want to explore every crevice of their brains and to never let them go. At some point, Klaine became too easy. They'll always get their happy ending (at least in canon). But Seblaine never will. And the art that can be made from a relationship like that intrigues me far more.

15. wip you want to finish but doubt you will?

Probably La Pute. Of all my old WIPs, it's the most likely to be finished (because I do have some pretty extensive notes on how the plot was supposed to go). But at the same time, that kind of fic that I loved to read and write when I was young (dubcon, noncon, slave fics, etc.) just doesn't interest me the way it used to.

If I were to psychoanalyze myself i'd probably say that my love for stories like that was deeply derived from my sexual repression and inner angst (largely driven by vast amounts of untreated mental illness) that I had no real life experience to draw from so I just used these dark dark stories as a way to try and release any of those emotions. But now as an adult I've lived through many traumas and general life shittiness and I can now find a release for my inner turmoil in writing about things more close to life instead of having to reach into that level of darkness.

16. what are your writing strengths?

Oh I don't even know. I think probably dialogue? That's what usually comes the easiest to me so it's what I would assume, but I'm honestly not sure.

17. what are your writing weaknesses?

I tell more than I show. Like I try to describe body language and expression in a way that isn't just "he shifted anxiously" "He looked pissed", stuff like that. But I'm just not great at it, so I tend to just tell the reader what a character is feeling more than anything else.

18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

I'm always drawn to the idea of doing it, but I don't just want to like copy and paste the lines into google translate, you know? And I don't speak any other languages and most of the friends I have that do speak the languages I would want to translate lines into (namely Tagolog and French) aren't Glee fans, so I don't want to make them translate for me.

19. first fandom you wrote for?

Unpublished? Inuyasha/Naruto/Harry Potter/Bleach/probably some other things. I wrote a very extensive self insert fic when I was like 9 or 10 that involved all of those fandoms but it never even got typed up and I lost the binder I was keeping it in probably nearly two decades ago.

Published though it was definitely Supernatural.

20. fave fic youve written?

A Place To Call Home was such a long endeavor and something that was very important to me to finish and it means a lot to me to have finally finished it.

Maybe We Can Be Okay is probably one of my most well-received fics considering the dark content and complex themes. And I'm still really proud of it.

And then it's not out yet, but my fic for the I Want You Back day of 10 Days of Seblaine has been a very difficult fic to write but I'm really happy with how its turning out and I can't wait to share it with you all in November.

what about single dads!klaine whose first "date" happens when they schedule a playdate for their two preschool aged kids?? just something cute and fluffy at one of their homes or a park or something?

First off, sorry for the delay. I typed most of the story yesterday in an unexpected free period.

Thank you so much for the prompt. I tried to be true to single daddies Klaine. It was just a new experience. I hope you like this cookie. Also I couldn't do it for preschool aged kids. I am not sure of how they talk. So these kids are in elementary school.

And for the others who submitted their wonderful prompts, I'll try to shell them out as soon. Not yet written but have some Idea.

Now onto the story(warning: if you don't like iguana, there is a picture attached. You might wonna skip it.)

___________________________________________

Took A Sugar Cookie From His Heart

Kurt couldn't understand till now what made him agree to this.

To organize a playdate for his daughter. Her first playdate after her other father passed away. He knew he hadn't gotten over yet. But he ought to get over someday, shouldn't he? At least for his daughter.

All was ready from his side. Talking to the boy's parent, giving consent, inviting them over the phone, organising his place for the playdate.

But mostly, talking to the boy's parent. The man with a mesmerizing voice that could suck you into the phone.

It might seem creepy but it wasn't a crime to admire someone's voice. Who happened to be someone's spouse.  He sounded dapper, polite and elegant. He sounded enthusiastic: like maple syrup on pancakes. Speaking of which, he had to check the butter cookies in the oven. 

He shook his head back to reality and put his Margaret Thatcher dog oven mitt for the oven. He hoped he was at his best presentable form for the guests. He hoped.

His daughter's excited scream came along with the doorbell, which startled him

"DADDDDY! DAAAAADY!"

She came running near the oven.

"Whoa there, Char! Don't go near the oven. It's still hot."

Kurt rised his 9-year-old daughter Charity and removed his mitt.

"HURRY UP DADDY! THEY ARE AT THE DOOR!"

Kurt gently patted her cheek and smiled.

"We are ready honey. Calm down. How should we welcome our guests?'

"Politely."

"That's right, honey. No screaming, okay?"

"Okay."

She nodded and gave him a high five. Kurt smiled at her enthusiasm and high-fived back.

"I'll take the cookies for the guests. Can you open the door for me?"

She nodded again as he let her down.  He could see that Char was excited about the date. May this made some changes. Maybe this was the right decision.

Kurt heard the door open, Char greeting them and then only two voices. Char's and the boy's.

They came running, giggling and holding their hands.

"Daddy, this is Charlie. I call him Char, just like you call me."

Kurt looked down the counter to see the adorable boy, standing beside his daughter. Damn, he was adorable! With slightly tanned skin and black curly hair, he was dressed adorably in a striped t-shirt, black trousers with aesthetic zips, and black boots. A bold choice indeed.

"Hello, Mr…."

"You can call me Kurt, honey."

"Okay," the boy said in a sweet tone. He seemed dapper and elegant too, just like his dad's voice over the phone, " We've got some presents for you. I hope you like it."

The boy handed a warm lavender paper bag with some baked goods and other stuff

"Aww… thank you, Charlie. Is calling you Charlie okay?"

"It's fine, si- Mr Kurt."

The boy gazed at him warmly. Did he like the outfit? Was there batter on his nose? He couldn't say.

"Did you come alone?"

"Nah, Papa is outside. We brought balloons for you and now they are on a tree."

Charlie's face fell a little. Kurt came around the counter and knelt before them.

"Don't worry, honey. It's fine. You and Char can play in her room. I'll bring Papa back. Fine?"

Charlie nodded and Charity pulled his hand to her room.

Now his mission: to find his papa.

___________________________________________

Kurt stood at the threshold to get a clear view.

Not far from the house could Kurt see from the threshold, a tree and a man sitting on the branch. With a bunch of balloons. Maybe that was his papa.

Kurt pulled a ladder quickly from the garage and proceeded near the tree.

As the gap became closer, he could see the man panicking over something. His sight was focused on the bark.

"Need help?"

The man pointed to the bark. Precisely to the iguana on the bark.

"I'm really scared of them. C-can you get it off?"

Damn, the man was handsome. Like really handsome for a father. His amber candy eyes were radiating like stars even in the daylight. His voice was like honey even in shivers.

"Y-yeah, y-yeah, sure," Kurt's breath hitched.

He slightly pulled the iguana in his hand, lest the spikes should poke. The iguana was giving him a boring look whatsoever. It seemed like the iguana was done with his shit and romance.

 

Kurt dusted his hands in disgust as he put them on the ground far from the tree. Now back to the tree.

"I've put it far. You can get down now," Kurt assured with a smile, " I'll hold the ladder, I swear."

Blaine started to get relaxed as he saw Kurt holding the ladder firmly. He tugged the bunch of balloons firmly and started to climb down. He was feeling hot on his cheeks all of a sudden. Was it blush or the aftermath of the tragedy? He didn't know.

Kurt facing Blaine's ass as he got down didn't help him either. How in the hell they were perfectly shaped, tugged in the skinny blue jeans he was wearing in contrast to the black t-shirt? It was like his teenage dream coming back. Was it a dream or a teenage crush?

Kurt was daydreaming much that he didn't realize Blaine slipped off the ladder. In his instinct, Kurt held Blaine on time, leading them to fall on the freshly mowed lawn, Kurt flat on the ground and holding Blaine's waist firmly on his top. Their chests were touching close with no gap and they were almost intoxicated by each other's aura.

They stared into each other's eyes like precious stones, sucking them into a dream. They remained in the same position with Blaine gently placing his hand on Kurt's porcelain cheek, almost bringing their lips together when he heard their kids screaming and running through the threshold.

They came back to reality and let out a shy chuckle. Was it silly? Or was it too early to move on?

"I'm sorry," Blaine whispered- hitched. He raised slowly to his feet and held his hand for Kurt.

"It's fine," Kurt blushed and took his hand to get up. Thank heavens, the balloons were still there, just like their lives after the tragedy.

They rushed into the house, trying to hide all the blush (and boner maybe?). Their kids ran around them as they chased each other.

Speaking of which, was this man Charlie's papa? Kurt face-palmed himself. How would he confirm?

Just like Blaine heard his mind's voice, he answered.

"I know we got weirdly introduced to each other. I'm Blaine, Charlie's dad by the way. It's my week this time. I just picked Charlie up from my ex-husband's house this morning."

And ding ding ding! Kurt just got a golden ticket for a second chance. Maybe he just bagged a deserved chance of moving on, unless Blaine was already dating already.

"I'm Kurt. Charity's dad."

Both shook their hands and withdrew faster. Both could feel the heat building heavily and fast around them.

"Thank you for the gifts, by the way. They were great. I think I-I have to ice the cookies and get the t-table ready."

"Well, can I help you? I love icing cookies."

Both blushed again and let Blaine near him. This was going to be one hell of a ride, that's for such.

__________________________________________

Time flew like the Flash in the next hour. With icing and setting the table, there were rapid-fire rounds and casual conversations.

In all the conversations, they got to know each other more. Kurt was a fashion designer who owned a boutique by the name "Charglows", named after his daughter's name. He lost his husband recently in a car accident. Blaine consoled him and wiped his tears as he talked about his husband.

Blaine was a bookstore owner. He bought a new apartment near the school after his recent divorce from his ex-husband.

"I don't know how I fell for him. We are good friends but now I see we are not very compatible."

"It happens," Kurt assured," I am so sorry, Blaine."

"Thank you. But I think we are better like this. As friends."

Kurt just smiled again. While he felt bad that his marriage life didn't go well, he was a little happy that he had a chance. Maybe it's not bad to move on. There is always a life after a failed love.

Charity appeared from nowhere all of a sudden, which startled them a little. Blaine smiled at her adorable chuckles and enthusiasm. It was good to know that his son had a good friend.

"Hey Char! Are you guys hungry?"

"No Daddy. Actually, I am here to give you special tickets to our big dance show."

Charity jumped up and down, failing to contain herself. She pressed 2 bits of paper with some stick figures drawn, into their hands and tugged Blaine's hand.

"Hurry up, Daddy. Mr. Blaine."

They looked at each other and they let out a small giggle. How adorable they were!

Charity dragged them to the living room where Charlie was setting the sound player. She pushed them to the sofa and hurried to the "backstage."

Charlie showed a thumbs-up after he was set. Smart kid indeed!

"Welcome! Welcome! To the great dance show! I am Charity and we are going to start the show," she yelled at the top of her voice.

Kurt melted seeing her daughter pretending to be a host show. She was growing fast and Kurt couldn't wrap the fact around his head. He grinned cheerfully, taking a deep breath.

"Are you ready?"

Kurt and Blaine clapped and cheered them loudly.

"Please welcome Charlie!" welcomed Charity as she threw her hands towards him.

The music started to play and Charlie started to dance. Blaine was tearing up to see him dancing in sync. They continued to cheer as the show was filled with alternate dances from the kids. Seeing them happy was the biggest gift they could get.

"And next star, can you guess it?"

The audience gave a loud "who" and were continuing to clap.

"Daddy!"

Kurt froze for a moment. What!

"Char, this is not funny."

She came around and tugged his hand.

"Come on Daddy. You know this song. I'll dance with you, Daddy"  She pouted. She was using one of his weak points, just like his ex-husband.

Blaine patted his shoulder with a wink. Suddenly the whole world was for him getting embarrassed. This was unfair.

"Let's give it up for Mr Kurt and Charity," Charlie cheered.

And the music started to play. It was the song. The same song his dad caught him dancing to in the basement of his dad's house.

Kurt was standing there frozen trying to get himself to dance. One dose of embarrassment coming right up! He couldn't escape anyway.

Just trusting his instinct, he started to dance. This was his guilty pleasure dancing with his daughter. But dancing in front of guests was a new another thing.

"All the single ladies, all the single ladies

All the single ladies, all the single ladies

All the single ladies, all the single ladies

All the single ladies

Now put your hands up"

He continued dancing around with his daughter, singing along. That was the first time he had danced wholeheartedly after losing his husband.

It took him a long time to realize Blaine was looking at him differently: his lips slightly parted, almost struck by surprise. 

Blaine was feeling the peak of heat around him. What did he get himself into? He was shaking perfectly to the music, pulling him mentally towards Kurt. Was this crushing again? Falling in love again? 

Blaine's cheeks turned red from all the blushing. He knew he could never get Kurt dancing out of his head now.

The song ended and Kurt rushed in saying, "I'll bring you something to eat."

Blaine got up and went to the kitchen to "help him out," but in reality, he was drawn towards him frankly.

"You danced very well."

"Oh geez, I embarrassed myself. Just like the first time."

"First time?"

"My dad caught me dancing to this. That's how I came out."

Kurt was rushing around the dining table, trying not to make eye contact, talking very fast. Blaine pulled him by his wrist and made him stand. A little closer. With a cookie.

"This is hot. You just caught me off guard," Blaine whispered.

"Really?"

Kurt's breath hitched and his heart was thumping too fast like an ignited engine.

"You take my breath away."

They were so close that they didn't realize they were bringing their lips together.

Until they heard another burst of excitement. Kurt quickly stuffed Blaine's mouth with the cookie and moved away shyly.

Blaine chuckled and munched the cookie, tasting the sugar.

"PAPA! Mr Kurt makes such amazing costumes," grinned Charlie as he showed a photo frame with Charity dressed as Jasmine from Aladdin.

" Can I ask him to make my Halloween costume? Pretty please?"

Blaine turned to Kurt for a say. Kurt was still blushing, not out of the cookie fantasy yet. Kurt instinctively nodded.

"Y-yeah s-sure."

Kurt got down on his knee and held Charlie by his shoulder.

"And maybe spend Halloween with us?"

"REALLY! THIS IS GREAT!"

Charity hugged the little adorable kid and Kurt turned to Blaine for approval.

Blaine just winked and stole the cookie from his heart.

This was just the beginning of a sweet cookie journey. A hopeful yet sweet beginning of a second chance.

Cookies anyone?

“There’s all sorts of love, Cousin Blaine. The love of a married couple is public, but there are other loves that are more private. What I’ve learned is that no kind of love is wrong. Hate of our fellow man is what we should be worried about.”

Update: One wrong click

Kurt was swiping through his Facebook feed when he added by accident a total stranger. Secretly he hoped that he won't hear back from the person he added by accident as he doesn't know who he has added. But when he get a message a few days later, it might be exactly the thing he needed.

Hi, I sent you an ask last week, but I'm not sure you answered it. if you did and I missed it, I'm sorry. It was about competing on a talent competition as a singer/dancer, and Blaine in the same competition with I think Niff as a band? I know it was on FF but can't remember the name of the story or who wrote it. I thought I had favorited it, but I can't find it now

I found this Klaine fic originally posted on AO3 that has Kurt and Blaine competing in a dancing competition, and it also has Niff. It might have been cross-posted on FF.net but it’s impossible to find out. The author deleted it from the Internet.  - HKVoyage

Shall We Dance? by framby  [PDF]  [EPUB]

As the lead of a boys band, Blaine is casted to participate to the new season of Dancing With The Stars. Kurt is one of the professional dancer, they aren't partners but it doesn't mean they can't dance together.

What role has Klaine in my life

I mostly reblog thing that i like in this account and seldom express my opinions (often bc I agree with everything I reblog lol) but this time I feel like I need to share and maybe confront with all the people in this fandom whose life is featured by their love for Klaine.

I think that among all the ships that I've ever been "obsessed" with there's never been one like Klaine. I'm just deeply in love with how they love and care and need each other in every possible way and situation and fictional world more than any other, like Blaine said "as if in every lifetime you and I have ever lived we'd chosen to come back, find each other and fall in love all over again, over and over, for all eternity", also obviously thanks to the beautiful writers that we have. 

I'd be eternally grateful to experience a love like theirs one day, but honestly I've never been in a relationship and I never miss not having one. Because I feel so comfortable and connected and loved when I read or write or think about them, as if I were living their love from both their povs and I'd never exchange the feelings I get everytime there’s something i can imagine being them doing instead.

Also I really really relate to them as individuals, especially to Blaine (s3-5). Actually I don’t think we have much in common. But I love his innocence and adorableness; his enthusiasm, passion, love and selflessness he puts in everything he does. How he always wears his heart on his sleeves and says whatever passes through his mind that is pure and honest and so dramatically romantic. But at the same time he’s sensible and breakable with only a mean word or reference about this insecurities or past. He wants to be and look perfect to feel loved and accepted but still has flaws. And faults and issues he can hardly correct and I think that’s why he always needs comfort or is afraid that everyone might abandon him if he let those show in the surface of his already too expressive feelings. 

That’s where Kurt enters the game to do exactly what Blaine unconsciously did for him in s2-3. He is patient and understanding with him, he’d do anything he needs to make him feel loved but also confident about himself (like in the episode “Tested”), because that’s what soulmates do. They make you a better person by letting you do it by yourself with their support and love and  comprehension. 

He loves Blaine, he just shows it differently from him: he uses brief intense glances from afar; his eyes contain all the affection, sweetness and love when he looks at him and he shows his beautiful full smile with his tiny teeth when there’s only him looking. He lets his breath be taken away from him when Blaine’s looking at him like he’s the most precious thing in his world and when he tells Blaine “I love you” he gives it the most intensity like it’s the last time he’ll say it. He shows his love only to Blaine, no one else needs to see it. Because it is special to him (who never thought could experience something like that) and he wants it to be reserved only for the love of his life. He uses little laughs, deep smiles, soft caresses and he just knows Blaine loves him and knows he loves him even if he doesn’t demonstrate it in public, so he just doesn’t and lets Blaine enjoy doing it.

That’s why I love living their love.

My doubt is that I might be overcompensating the shitty real life I live with this that is much better and that i’m not actually even in. I mean Klaine is not just a guilty pleasure that i have. I think about them most of the time everyday. And I’ve been doing that for like two years. 

Klaine is my safe place were I refuge not only in rough times (and that’s why I’m afraid i might be escaping reality a bit too much?), where I can love and feel loved when they do and think or feel or say whatever passes through my mind because I don’t feel judged. And I’d never want those feelings to stop. 

I don’t need nor want a real relationship right now, I might one day, but I’m okay. 

I have Klaine and I love them as much as I could love a real person.

Okay I think I really have poured my heart out with this but I just wanted to thank whatever was in the minds of the creators during the show, the amazing chemistry that could only be possible with darren and chris (though I don’t really like to associate the characters with the actors when it’s about Klaine) but MOSTLY the amazing and talented writers that love Klaine as much as I do and even more. YOU gave me the possibility to love them even more and expand my imagination to limits I didn’t even know I could reach. Also you saved me during the pandemic period, still do and will forever. So I just want you to know that i am so very grateful for how much work and passion you spend on this fandom and ship. (By the way some stories as so amazingly well written it is a crime they are not real printed books. They’d be so successful!)

Thanks for your attention, I really enjoyed writing this on a Sunday morning all alone in my bedroom. 

Lemme know what you think, it would be very meaningful to me. ❤️❤️

Flowers in the Window: Cooper [17/29]

Words: 2,302 Genre: Romance/Angst Rated: M Character: Kurt H., Burt H., Blaine A., Cooper A. Summary: This is the story of four men - Cooper and Blaine; Burt and Kurt. This is a story of heartbreak and loyalty, of pain and hope, of loneliness and family. This is the story of how, even when the sun stops shining, love finds a way to bloom.

Cooper watched him as he finished rearranging the flowers. There was something about him this morning... he looked a bit tense, nervous even. If there was one thing the Anderson brothers had in common, it was their incredible ability to hide their feelings whenever they weren't convenient (though Cooper had always been a bit better at it than Blaine, whose eyes were an eternally open door to his soul).

When Blaine finally stopped figeting with the flowers and came to sit next to him, Cooper tilted his head and studied him some more. His tone was serious, the jam frustration completely forgotten, when he asked: “What's going on?”

“Nothing, why would you ask that?” Blaine said, avoiding very carefully looking his brother directly.

Blaine could be so full of shit sometimes.
