Runner!Klaine series from Tumblr: Kurt is running his very first marathon for Reasons (and they’re really good ones. Probably). Blaine is a marathon junkie with a total disregard for how good looking he is at seven in the morning (or in spandex pants). It’s a good thing they’re made for each other, because there are 26 more miles to the finish line.

I actually read this after the sequel (After), and am glad I did. Although it may not seem to make sense to read them out of order, this acts as almost a flashback to the events which happen in the epilogue. If, however, you were to read them in the intended order, you will see a beautiful love story, the pain and the sweat and love so startlingly real that it isn’t a surprise to discover the author runs marathons.

The epilogue to Anywhere You Go, the runner!klaine trilogy, written after this year’s Boston Marathon. It’s been three years since Kurt met Blaine back in Ohio, the morning of his first marathon. Some things stay the same, but today (the day of Blaine’s first New York City Marathon) something big is going to change.

Although this is a follow-on fic, I really don’t think it matters if you read this or Anywhere You Go (I’ll Follow You Down) first. I read this one first, basking in the feelings and the humour and the memories. However much you hate running, this could make you want to put on a pair of trainers and get to the finishing line. After all, you never know what is going to be waiting for you.
