Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you: I am reading every single klaine fic written by Rainjoy, and now I can... →
I am reading every single klaine fic written by Rainjoy, and now I can safely say that she’s my favorite writer in this fandom. Sometimes I feel like I could drown in her prose and I’d die a happy death. She’s magnificent.
Also, I had to reread Fix (her take on bad boy!Blaine) because DAMN…
THIS. To the power of ten.

Someone please stop me from writing a Vikings/Glee AU where Blaine is Ragnar, Tina is Lagertha, Kurt is Floki, Rachel is Siggi, and Quinn is Aslaug.
Why on earth would we want to stop this awesomeness??

Because You Left: Fic Masterpost →
In case anyone was curious, this is the LOST/Glee crossover that I started (and got pretty damn far into), only to find myself backburnering it when it got too hard and the stripper!au got too easy (no pun intneded. Well, maybe a little.) It’s an au version of season two, in which Karofsky’s bullying of Kurt has some unforeseen consequences, strange things are happening with birds at Dalton Academy, the school nurse isn’t working for the school at all, and Kurt’s mother is not named Elizabeth.
Oh, and Blaine’s name was once Alex, back before his father saved him.
(His father’s had a few different names, too, but when they were still on the Island, before they left, his name was Benjamin Linus.)
Did I mention the time machine? There may be a time machine. But it’s okay - it probably doesn’t really work. Probably just Brittany’s imagination.
Probably.
The fic has been on hiatus for over a year now, but I’m trying to pick it back up again, so if you think you can either deal with the unfinishedness or somehow help bludgeon my brain into completing the damn thing (it’s always those middles, pesky things), then feel free to read and/or comment.
Oh man, I fucking loved this story! I will be quite happy if there is more to come, what with being a total Blaine stan and Ben Linus being one of my favorite characters from anything ever. And now I am off to do stupid grown-up things, but re-reading this will be the first thing I do when I get back home.

The Creekbed: What if Blaine hadn't cheated? →
We all pretty much knew that Kurt and Blaine were going to break up in season 4. The big shocker was that it was precipitated by Blaine cheating with a random guy. Many people were speculating that they’d just find it too difficult to maintain a long-distance relationship, or find that their lives…
It would have taken longer to happen, it would have hurt both of them more and in different ways, and it would have taken them longer to get to where they currently are.
Without this one specific incident of cheating, we might have seen more incidents of Blaine and Kurt talking past each other or one or the other (but really, mostly Blaine) feeling like they’re not being heard when they have something important to say. Maybe there could have been a couple of examples of each of them feeling tempted by other guys but choosing not to act but still having that “what if” feeling lingering. Whatever these things might have been, they would have built up over a longer period (than we saw on the show) of weeks or months until there’s just too much left unsaid to avoid the inevitable conversation and splitting up.
The hurt Blaine and Kurt would have felt would also have taken different forms and likely contribute to an even more prolonged broken up period. Blaine in particular would have felt a lot less sure of their OTP-ness if their split had been the culmination of his voiced fears from season 3, instead of that plus the catalyst of his own cheating and the resulting blunt force trauma of a sudden and abrupt break-up. Kurt would also be less convinced of their OTP-ness for awhile, at least in a romantic sense, and may have been more receptive to romantic interactions with someone like Adam. We might have gotten several examples of Blaine and Kurt trying to move on with varying degrees of success and probably a protracted period of Weirdness between them as they navigate being friends, maybe even eventually close friends at some point, while not being boyfriends.
Finally, if they were to have broken up over the distance, it might have taken them longer to get to a place where they both want to get back together. The reasons why they split up would have remained for the entirety of Blaine’s senior year, and if Blaine did still end up in NYC at the end of it, maybe that might be the first time one or both of them seriously thinks about getting back together. Even then, they might not get back on the same page and make a second go of it for a good long while. Depending on how much they’ve remained in contact, there might be a long-ish relearning period and trying to see if who they are now works as a couple. And if they did get back together, would it be for good? Would it be with marriage and forever as the goal? I think, yeah, because it’s these two romantic guys, but it would be a much longer and drawn out process.

While we were all being crazy for whatever faintly Glee-ish reasons we missed other stuff Fox was selling at upfronts, including the INCREDIBLY CAMPILY INEXPLICABLE Sleepy Hollow.
Right?! When I watched this yesterday, I was all “I don’t know what I just saw, but against my better judgement, they had me at ‘the answers are in George Washington’s bible!’”

Faulty Manufacturing by idoltina →
Go read the hell out of this.
Kurt is about to turn thirty, but that’s not the only reason he’s unhappy at the moment. This story is about Kurt facing the possibility of cancer, so be warned about that and mentions of past character death and Kurt’s OCD tendencies. In terms of fics about health scares, this is up there with wordplayitout’s “Adult Content”, in my opinion.

I guess you can take the scribbler out of the buddy-cop fandoms, but you can’t take the buddy-cop fannishness out of the scribbler.
Beginnings of a Klaine cop AU under the cut. No idea if I’ll continue this (I’ve sent it to three different people and none of them have responded, so it may very well suck horribly), but I’m having fun writing it so here have a snippet (there is no porn yet).
