Agent 005 of MI6, Adam Crawford, is sent on a mission to the small town of Lima, Ohio to observe and then retrieve rogue agent Blaine Anderson, a traitor to the United Kingdom. But things get complicated when he finds Agent 007 entangled with an enigmatic high school hacker by the name of Kurt Hummel. James Bond AU.

    

This time I’m taking the whole of the prologue for the excerpt, because that’s all I needed before I was hooked. My mind has been buzzing with little lines I could put here: I never knew I had a James Bond kink; if there’s something I love even more than badboy!Blaine it’s badass!Kurt; this is the most perfect relationship ever and I want it. In the end, I just want to say that this is a fic well worth reading. If the guns and hacking isn’t your thing, then the metaphors and word play will get you. And once again, their relationship? It’s the sexiest thing I’ve ever read.

Man’s Best Friend

Man’s Best Friend – DareU2Bme

AU. Blaine, the Hudmel family’s pet, seems to have developed an obsession with Kurt. It is hard to resist Blaine’s adorable infatuation, but Kurt needs to figure out how to deal with this sudden tragic and incredibly inappropriate love interest.

Please realize that this is not your average love story in any way, shape or form. This is a very alternative pairing and if the idea of intellectual in-equals bothers you a great deal, I will be the first to tell you that this is definitely not the story for you. Blaine in this story is not a furre, not a hybrid, not a were-animal, not anything like that… he is a person with a genetically inherited, severely low IQ.

  

I started reading this fic almost as a joke. “Oh look, Blaine is Kurt’s pet. This could get awkward.” I think it stopped being a joke when I had tears streaming down my face, unable to stop crying, at four in the morning. Glee and Klaine have taught me so much about acceptance, and I sort of half thought that this fic would make me okay with the idea of having humans as pets. I was wrong. Instead, I was swept into a world where humans are kept as pets, and I’m standing opposed to it. This was totally not what I expected it to be, and I’ll be recommending it for years to come… – Wait, there’s a sequel?

Rachel and Kurt Hummelberry, new transfer students at McKinley High – unapproachable, mysterious, not to mention virtually inseparable. What is their story? What are they hiding? What will it take to get close enough to learn their secrets? Blaine Anderson is dying to know. But if he succeeds, won’t he regret it?

An AU tale of mystery, hard choices and complicated relationships written by anxioussquirrel, completed with beautiful visual content created by headbandxbowties.

          

Wow. This has been on my reading list for weeks, but I have been putting it off because of exams. With the first ones out of the way, I stuck in… and didn’t stop reading until it had finished. Although not noticeably different, the language and phrasing used made my own writing style different in emails sent whilst I was reading it. And as for the plot of the story itself? I won’t give too much away. There are dark moments, sexual moments, and moments that are so unexpected that you wonder if you actually read them. If you want to know more about the warnings and possible triggers, please contact the writer directly. The visual content itself makes the fic a must-read, and the careful editing makes you question what the original pictures and videos were, because surely this is what it’s meant to be. This is one story that I shall certainly be reading the sequel for.

“He who folds one thousand papers cranes pleases the gods and shall have his heart’s greatest desire.” – Japanese proverb. Kurt and Blaine fold paper cranes together. A series of vignettes written for Klaine Week 2012.

     

This collection was already cemented in my favourites list before I recommended it to a friend, but then she turned up at my door with a blue paper crane and my heart heart melted and now I love this even more. Seven stories about Klaine, some AU and some canon, but all containing the origami delight that is cranes. I actually started my own thousand paper cranes mission before reading this, but this collection has made my desire to complete it double. A must-read for anyone who loves the Japanese myth and for people who don’t mind their teeth rotting due to literary sweetness.

Branching off from Grilled Cheesus: When Burt doesn’t wake up from coma after his heart attack, Child Welfare Agency decides to place Kurt in a foster family. Kurt is not amused, but fortunately, he is not alone. His new foster brother seems to come with his own set of problems, though.

  

Having been out of touch from fanfic for so long, I was surprised at the speed at which I read this fic. On the other hand, it shouldn’t be a surprise at all. Why? Because this fic was incredibly enjoyable. Kurt moves in to the tower attached to the Anderson’s home and, whilst worried about his father, is now worrying about something else. His foster brother, Blaine. And why is Mr Anderson never around? And really, what is it with Blaine and horses?

This fic is currently incomplete, but I know that the author is planning on continuing it; I hope she hurries up, because I really enjoyed this! It is a clever idea, and the chemistry between the pair is already fizzing. Who’ll end up top dog by the end? And who will be bottom…

Kurt is a Cheerio who’s having a little problem passing Chemistry. Thankfully, his tutor Blaine knows what he’s doing… and Kurt realizes that they can both help each other along the way.

Aww 🙂 I love Cheerio!Kurt with shy!Blaine (probably because I’m the one who had a piece of parcel tape over her mouth through high school, and not in the Rachel Berry protest way). In this fic, Kurt is a cheerleader struggling with his grades, so he asks Blaine to help him. It turns out Blaine needed someone to take photos of for his photography class… and the rest is history.

A local PFLAG scheme uses the lost art of letter writing to bring people together.

         

I love this fic. I spent a long time reading it but it was well worth it. To keep Klaine apart for so long feels like it should to torturous, but instead it just heightens the emotional side of their relationship. There are weird places to find friends. And then there are the perfect places, a clever guidance counselor, a kind friend, and letters to someone who you already have something in common with…

Tihs si a- Sorry, I just burnt my fingers. Try again. This is an amazing read. Badboy Blaine. Sex. Scandals. Sex. Hudmelson family. Sex. So. Much. Sex. I have loved reading this fic, but thankfully when it is over there is still more to come; the AO3 link takes you to the original story and the multiple one shot spin offs. If you like Klex and cocky Blaine, you’ll love this. Also a lot of angst regarding Blaine’s past, and his ankle monitor. And more sex.
