Blaine-friendly Kurtbastian Fic Recs

Putting a list together for @fallevs, but I hope this will be useful for anyone who wants to dip their toes into Kurtbastian fanfiction but doesn't want to read anything anti-Blaine! Everything included in this list will either not include Blaine at all, or if he is in the fic, it will be neutral or friendly toward him.

I've tried to include a wide range of words counts as well, so that you can start with something short and sweet or dive into something big, whatever you feel like. If anyone else has some recommendations to add, please feel free to reblog this list and add more!

Europe Is Our Playground by @glitterdammerung - 53,430 words

Summary: Eight years and half the world away from home, a chance encounter in a Paris club leads Kurt and Sebastian - each running from the ghosts of their pasts - into the diversion of chasing each other across Europe.

(Let's give them) Something to talk about by MemeKonGlee - 20,529 words

Summary: “I need you to—” “I heard you the first time,” Kurt interrupts, putting his fork and knife down on his plate and pushing his half-finished pancakes aside. “What I meant was: what the hell?” He points towards the neglected pancakes, trying to stall in the face of Kurt’s reaction. “Are you sure you don’t wanna finish that first?” The look in Kurt's eyes tells him in no uncertain terms that no, he doesn't want to finish his pancakes, Jesus. And so Sebastian has no option but to take a deep breath in, exhale slowly through his mouth and just… get on with it, internally cringing at how unbelievably ridiculous it all sounds when he puts it in words, all out there for the world (and more importantly, Kurt fucking Hummel) to judge. It all boils down to: I fucked up and I'm too proud to deal with it the mature way.

Safe Mode by flipmeforward - 18,118 words

Summary: An AU in which Kurt and Sebastian never met in high school. Instead, they meet at &brave--an up-and-coming online fashion company where Kurt is the new assistant slash blogger (one day he will figure out a better title), and Sebastian is the less than pleasant tech support guy. Kurt does his best to avoid Sebastian and his rude attitude at all possible costs, but it turns out that technology is not his friend. It also turns out that Sebastian might maybe possibly be (okay, probably is) more than just an annoying coworker.

Come On And Mess Me Up by @pouralittlewater - 215,339 words

Summary: “It’s like...When Harry Met Sally,” Santana told him. “No. That was me and Blaine.” “How? You literally got together in months. You and Sebastian have been skirting the issue for years. This whole “will they, won’t they” thing is getting old.” Or, when Sebastian enrolls in McKinley High and joins Glee right before the duet competition. What Kurt thinks could be the start to a great friendship in gay camaraderie quickly explodes in his face as he realizes being around Sebastian makes him want to set the other boy on fire. However, over time, that feeling dissipates. Even without the title of friendship, the two become ingrained in each other's lives in a way neither ever expected to.

Thunderbolts & Lightning by @alphabees-writes - 1,854 words

Summary: Sebastian has a plan. It goes wrong, and then right, and then wrong again.

tension bars by @cryscendo - 824 words

Summary: Prompt by backslashdelta: kurt, sports!au (gymnastics), exes, “sometimes, i sit in bed and wonder what would happen if things were different.”

I Want The World To See You'll Be With Me by @backslashdelta (me!) - 2,405 words

Summary: Kurt and Sebastian attend a Christmas party, and Sebastian has a special surprise for Kurt afterward.

Dessert by @nalasan - 1,175 words

Summary: “Oh my God,” Sebastian says, staring at the plate in front of him. “We have to break up.” Kurt, who has just walked into their living room and is still in his winter coat, raises his eyebrow quizzically; his expression more bemused than worried, “And why is that?” “Just look at that,” Sebastian replies, gesturing at the table in front of him like he is seeing it for the first time: the white tablecloth, the candles in their silver candleholders, the white roses in their vase in the middle of the table, and the dinner Sebastian has been preparing since he came home three hours ago.

And Why Is That? by @20xbetterthanu - 41,321 words

Summary: "I love you, and I hate myself for that." "And why is that?" Love hurts.

Note from me: this fic is definitely not anti-Blaine, however it does heavily involve Blaine and he is Not having a good time, so I maybe wouldn't recommend it if you want to avoid him (and the other boys!) being sad.

A Change In The Weather by cacophonylights - 209,414 words

Summary: The summer before college Kurt is shocked when Sebastian comes to him with a timely offer he can’t refuse.  He’ll get something he needs to realize his dreams, but in return he has to play the role of Sebastian’s boyfriend for the summer.  Neither of them know just how much their worlds are about to change. For a GKM prompt.

Note from me: this fic COULD be considered anti-Blaine, but I don't personally consider it to be; it maybe doesn't paint him in the most positive light, but I think it's still neutral enough to be on this list, and it's essentially required reading at this point! Also, it is famously unfinished, but there are a couple fan sequels: ACITW AU by @lady-divine-writes A Drop In The Ocean by @daftydraw and jwmelmoth The ACITW link above is for livejournal, but you can also find the original fic on AO3 in two parts here and here.

#'hella no one is pressuring you to post anything if you arent able to or are overwhelmed by the barrage of uni work you have atm' stfu #i cannot stress enough the moment i give myself a self-imposed deadline for a fic it HAS to be met #like you guys could beg me to chill out and i simply would not cave #also i just got back from dnd and it was such a good session like i have actual friends there now #and the DM from today actually messaged me on facebook afterwards saying how much he enjoyed playing with me #and he said i brought a lot to the table and my interaction was 'better than some people that have been playing for 5+ years' #I GOT A GOOD GRADE IN DND SOMETHING THAT IS BOTH NORMAL TO WANT AND POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE #and next week is the first week im going without my mate bc she's away so i was a little nervous #but then this guy that's basically adopted us was like 'omg i'll make sure we're on a table together so you at least know me!' #which was nice enough on its own BUT THEN this dm that's been playing for over 40 years who always chats with us after #was like INSISTANT that we go on his table next week which im SO buzzing for bc he's like a veteran player he knows SO MUCH #and it felt very cool that he was actively inviting us like i dont think that's something he does often #hehehe im having fun with the freaks and weirdos <3333 #hella goes to uni

anyway this upcoming trip w my gf. will decide a lot i think

#travelling tgth can tell u a lot abt a person #my gf has quite strong anxiety #but nevertheless for me. i know i cant be rly in a relationship w someone who becomes like #irritable and panicked and clueless under pressure instead of looking at it like a fun challenge or an adventure #like genuinely the attitude of becoming snappy when travel stress hits is smth ive seen in my parents and i Cannot deal w it personally #ive been held up a lot at the border and ive been trapped in foreign countries cities w a dead phone at 4 AM etc #and somehow its always been an adventure esp when im w a friend w a similar outlook of like. omg this will be a good story to tell later #lets make the most of it let's sit on the beach or find a bar thats still open lets discuss smth we love until sunrise!! #anyway i know shes an anxious person but regardless of that being . not pessimistic and enjoying adventure and stuff #is so important to me in a person. it reflects not just on travel but abt how they will handle life later yk. what happens if our car #stops in the middle of the road? will you start freaking out about it? will you be calm through it? #so #well see #i hope it goes well i love her sm

finally found some good quality men’s shirts that fit well and hide my body shape,,,, guys i think gender euphoria is real

#LIKE?????? #crazy what two layered shirts can do for a person omg #i’ve never looked more like a lad and i actually laughed bc it felt so good to see??? #in one of those moods today where being fem just isn’t Right #so these came at the perfect time #can’t get over it i Needed to share somewhere #like the skater boy vibes are peak i feel so cool #felt pretty all week which was Nice (self esteem issues blah blah) but this?? feeling like i could pass as a boy at a glance always feels #like a relief bc it’s like there’s less pressure to look a certain standard (this isn’t worded properly bc what i mean is that clothes are #baggier and im not conscious of my weight or smudged makeup or my hair etc etc etc so less to do with guys v girls and more my perception #of pressure that i put on genders due to my experiences) #anyway!! i feel good!! :D

the conflicting desire to talk about ocs and story ideas and the compulsion to men in black wipe everyone's memory of anything even resembling a creative thought you've had

#there are two wolves inside you... #hgod i had this one story idea. i haven't thought about it in a while and i started it before i made this acct #oh boy. incredibly embarrassing now. #especially bc one of the major plot ideas is something i now understand people do not like 😭 #like omg literally just kill me i can't live w the embarrassment knowing that people know i had that idea at all #i'm less embarrassed about the current thing and it's been getting steadily easier talking about it as i do more planning #but i do agonize over it sometimes. i want to be perceived but no i don't #i want to be thought of as Cool and Smart and Has Good Ideas and if i deliver anything less than bulletproof then i'm a cringefail loser #in my mind anyway #so like the stakes are high to get this right!!!!!!!! no pressure or anything #rant over im just HOUUGGHH [in great pain]

[terrainofheartfelt]

do you have any dairthaniel hcs?

oh for YOU my dear I can think of some :)

dan and nate share clothes constantly, they think no one can tell but blair is a fashion savant and she knows when nate is wearing something cheap. but then dan catches her wearing one of his shirts and she'd fight him on it but...so comfy and dan wears her lingerie shhhh

they're all kind of 20-year-old messes but dan is the one who knows the most about cooking so often it's blair and nate pestering him to feed them. he eventually gets fed up and insists that they help. blair's better at it than nate.

dorota adores both nate and dan and she sort of adopts them as her boys and tries to take care of them - even though they spend most of their time together in brooklyn, rather than the penthouse. blair is annoyed because Only Child Syndrome. she's used to getting all of dorota's attention, dammit

nate's been friends with each of them for a long time, so he can keep up with dan and blair's discourse, but he only uses his knowledge for evil (escalating fights with random "i agree with dan" or "i agree with blair" and sitting back with popcorn because he thinks they're cute)

study parties! because I see them getting together in the college years. dorota feeds them brain food and they war council either on the loft floor or the penthouse dining room table. dan helps nate with his lit, nate quizzes blair on history (he has a knack for remembering dates -- it's the museum his grandparents live in), blair ruthlessly helps their romance language conjugations, and dan has an existential crisis when he realizes how good nate is at math (he also finds it very hot but)

movie nights! nate insists that the loft have a real tv for real viewing parties so he buys one (rich boi) and they all cuddle on the couch but the gag is that dan and blair are too into the Netflix part to get to the Chill part and nate is just *pouts*

nate and blair have known each other soooooooooo long that their communication sometimes feels inside which dan feels a little weird about but a perk is that they will tell on each other to dan about such and such embarrassing fact about them which he finds totally charming

(and dan is a bottom.)

#dairthaniel #nate x dan x blair #blair x dan x nate #gg hcs #fun fact on the phone with a friend last weekend I said with my full chest 'i would thrive in a throuple' and i fully agree with myself #that last one is an inside joke from the gc ;) #asks #insistonyourcupofstars #hc asks are funny bc i get them and i'm like 'omg so much pressure I must get a good grade in headcanon' #and then i just write whatever vibes and it's fun #so uh. i like em. when I remember that this isn't for a grade :)

[munamania]

has anyone here been to a physical therapist like. just cause. without a referral or an injury. is it weird to do that

#sent a request for a consultation last night on a whim bc im just. kind of in pain lol #im thinking not going to pt when that doc told me i had loose ligaments in high school was a mistake bc. i feel like ive overextended a lot #perhaps. and now maybe im overcompensating. and things actively hurt instead of just passively kind of crackling or aching if i apply #pressure. so. like i have good reason to ive just never been... #also havent heard back so god knows if ill get an appt yk #i mean TECHNICALLY technically i did get referred i was just 17 at the time. #abby talks #also have no clue how much insurance would cover for an actual session so. #probably not omg sustainable :(

[pepprs]

10 minutes left and then some clean up. i am absolutely fucking exhausted but also grateful for my friends and idk what the results even are but i think we’re going to be ok

#i was doing really really bad for the first hour and a half and then i was sedated with phone art and apple cider and chocolate. but my feet #ache and my throat hurts from talking as loud as i can and i know i am suppressing SO many mentally ill thoughts that have occurred to me in #the last 5 hours 😍 and i am terrified bc some of the ppl iwintersctdd w tonight were DEFINITELY sick and even though they took covid tests I #don’t want to be cavalier about it. Omg the hours between 6:30-9:30 were so fucking bad i genuinely wanted to *** on the spot lol. but im ok #now and i am goijg to sleep a lot and then we have a full work week to deal with lol 🤪 #purrs #it was so fucking humiliating to be visibly doing bad too. one of the mentally ill thoughts i had was i am not good under pressure or stress #and i am not good at telling people what to do so i am failing everyone and embarrassing myself and everyone knows im having a bad time beca #because im defective and not good at my job etc etc lol. and i still do kinda feel like that but i have sugar in my system LMAO #omg yeah i was spacing out and stumbling and sagging my whole body it was so . 😞

OMG LOL???

Taking a brief break to record progress

The boop meter seems to progrsss on a scale of

30 > 100 > 300 > 700 > MAX > LOL > OMG

Of gives, the appearance only changes based on gives, but the revived seems to follow the same process

Additionally there are two badges I’ve unlocked so far! Let’s see if there’s more, I doubt so since staff seem to have all the badges pre unlocked

Edit

Yall don’t even know what fucked up shits been going on

Edit 2

Ladies and Gentlemen and Y’all else who may

We got a tumblr

See it in its original splendour down there

The order seems to be

30 > 100 > 300 > 700 > MAX > LOL > OMG > WOW > *-* > WHY > PLZ > AAA > ;_; > 0_0 > T_T > <33 > TUM/BLR

edit 3

I didn’t use an autoclicker because I started at 2am when it dropped, had no idea it was April fools, got an instant adrenaline high that lasted for four straight hours (the blood pressure has not done my legs any good) and just went apeshit

If you do this manually like me, I thoroughly recommend using a gaming controller, or anything with a trigger input on pc, I have a steamdeck so I used that. You’ll also be there for at least 6 hours ngl.

I probably could’ve been more efficient but I didn’t want to over spam people and wanted to fairly distribute clicks, have fun!

#boop #boop o meter #april fool's day #boop while you still have time
