Rocky Horror Audience Participation AU, Blaine is a law student, forced into a strict life by his father, but he misses performing. A chance meeting spurs his old desires, and he finds himself joining the cast of the local RHPS AP, where he meets the enigmatic Frank, and starts to remember who he used to be. But Frank is much, much more than he seems.

  

I read this fic a while ago, but still even hearing its name sets something alight within me. If there’s one theme I love across every literary genre, it’s mystery. This fic has it in buckets. A reader with a good eye will spot it early on. A reader who has become so absorbed in the story that they forget even their own name might realise it just before the characters they are reading about do. Even without the mystery and suspense, however, this will have you awake in the wee small hours. The story is summarized perfectly (on the PDF version) with a list of names, numbers, Glee references and so on, and reading this you really appreciate the craft of the writer. Well deserving of five stars, and even more deserving of your viewing.

A fill for this GKM prompt. AU after The Break Up. Blaine finds out that he’s pregnant after Kurt breaks up with him (with Kurt’s child, no less). He tries telling Kurt about it, but Kurt refuses to talk to him. Blaine decides to finish his senior year at home and give the baby up for adoption. Only he doesn’t. He ends up keeping the baby — a daughter — and takes her to New York with him when he leaves for college. He raises her partially on his own with some help from his parents, and tries to juggle parenthood, school, and work. And everything works out okay for a little over two years — until he runs into Kurt.

I always have a lot of tabs open, and most of them usually go forgotten after they’re hidden under twelve open Amazon pages and a load more fic. Not this one. Since I first read it, this fic has been constantly open on my iPad and I check it for an update every day. The other day, I got my wish, and got to read on another chapter in this magnificent fic. The situations are tricky, the emotions explode, the relationships are often held together with only the thinnest strings of hope, and it’s exhilarating. I want to recommend it to the world, for everyone to refresh the page every day in the hope of reading more about Joy and her dads. A beautiful, touching story. I’d recommend it even if you don’t like mpreg.

Kurt and Blaine have been best friends (and nothing more) since the age of six. Now college graduates, they take a roadtrip around the USA, visiting every state in 100 days. Fifty states. Two boys. One love story.

         

This fic. It sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it. It is so wonderfully put together, with additional content on Kurt and Blaine’s separate blogs which includes Q&A sessions, photos, music. The premise of the story is fantastic in itself, but the execution? There are metaphors in this fic which make your head explode for their sheer beauty (a fact which I have often told the author about – and she is so modest). It is no surprise at all that this story is making its way into a published book. If you only read one more multichaptered Klaine fic, make it this one.

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.

There are so many fics where Klaine are having sex and a parent walks in on them. This is not one of those fics. Neither is it one of those fics where Klaine’s child is having sex and they interrupt, although it looks like it might be at the start. No, this is neither of those, but yet the actions of Klaine leave their son’s girlfriend standing on the landing saying “Honestly, I was kind of impressed.” Not the most traditional first meeting, but then when have Klaine ever been ordinary?

So, yesterday, Emily and Klairs (I think?) were talking about the woeful lack of sexy-professor!Blaine fic.  I thought I’d start working on fixing that.

I’ve started to really enjoy reading stories from the point of view of an original character. In this case it’s Blaine’s TA, who is surprised at the appearance of a man sneaking into class with an impressive wedding band and a cheeky smile. And, you know, when Professor Blaine gets hit on as much as he does, it’s natural that she’s confused as to why the teacher starts picking him out. Right?

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.

An opposite take on a popular Klaine trope. Short, sweet, sickly. Meet Sue, the matchmaker, Blaine, the clueless one, and Kurt, the one who doesn’t let a little thing like a cheerleader’s uniform distract him…

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 shy, adorable barista who catches his eye. This is the story of how they change each other’s lives.

       

I love this fic so much. I may even go as far to say it’s my favourite ever Klaine ‘verse. Yes, above Dalton. The language is soft, like the foam on the top of a well-made coffee, and their love is just as sweet. The additional drabbles, found on the tumblr link, are the perfect addition, and brilliant to read alongside the fic in chronological order. The story itself is a perfect shot of caffeine to get you through a long night or to wake you up in the morning (and as a recent coffee convert I can tell you it’s enough to make you fall in love with the beverage). Make sure you check out all the extra links on the tumblr page – Kurt’s clothing company logo is beautiful, stunning. I cannot speak too strongly about this ‘verse. I’m in love with it and I hope it never ends.

Ride

Blaine is pretty popular in his city of Long Beach, CA. Summer is here and he’s ready to spend it with friends- BMX bike riding in the skate park and surfing when the waves are perfect. Flirting with girls is a definite. But when a new kid from Ohio shows up, Blaine finds himself wanting to share all these things with him, too. But Kurt’s just his friend, right?

  

I’d be an idiot if this wasn’t in my favourites… Purple. BMX. Yoplait. Mikey. Monkey bars. Pace. Call of Duty. This is a list of things I’ll never see the same again. There really isn’t a way to describe Ride, other than when it updated its final chapter, I stayed up until four to read it and I certainly wasn’t alone.
