“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.

Oh yes. Blaine is very young when Cooper first realises he is gay, marrying his friend Eli at Head Start. Yes, the name does make it uncomfortable to read, but it gets better; I promise you. To Kurt, listening to the story of Blaine’s first love, he has never been more in love.
