So Darren accidentally (?) announces that he will be Seymour in an off broadway show from January until the end of March...I admit this is a nice surprise. Hope I can make it happen.

Hi friends. I'm in the mood to write a fic (maybe for @klaineadvent?) and seem to be in the mood for a high school AU - I need some inspirations. Any prompts/concepts for a high school Kurt meets Blaine?
I also have a potential college AU germinating (Kurt, an intern at Vogue, has a hook up with third year NYADA student Blaine. Kurt starts NYADA second semester (like in season 5) only to find out Blaine is his dance TA - something like that...)
But I'm actually more in the mood for a coming of age high school AU - help!

Hi all. For anyone who's still interested, I'm re-watching many eps of Glee as my 13 yo daughter watches (we just finished 3.18) and the most interesting thing is that there are many eps that I love but have almost never re-watched because they're not one of THE BIG eps (original song, the first time etc...) - Michael, On My Way, Dance With Somebody (that's sort of one of the big eps but I haven't re-watched), Choke.
So many things Glee got wrong (truly problematic) and so many it got right and broke ground and then there are just those magic moments of a cast with chemistry.

Fic: Wounded
Klaine Word Scramble No. 4
Fandom/Pairing: Glee, Kurt/Blaine
Words: ~ 800 words                                           
Rating: Teen and Up
Summary: Kurt comes to a decision.
A vignette from my Mormon!Klaine universe. I do not recommend reading this if you have recently started Out of Eden, because this will not make any sense and also be a little spoilery. If you’ve been reading the vignettes for years, though, enjoy! (Or don't enjoy. This one's a bit moody if you don't know what's coming next.)
This vignette takes place after I’ll Always Belong to You  and before To Tell the Truth.
My Mormon!Klaine Masterpost.
___________
At 4 a.m., Kurt finally gave up on trying to fall back asleep. He gave Stürmchen a final scritch under the chin, gathered her into his arms, and set her gently at Blaine’s feet. Blaine shifted in his sleep, making room for her behind his knees.
This was the last time Kurt would ever see Blaine sleeping. He wished there were more light in the room, that he could make out more than vague shadows, that he could see the dark line of Blaine’s eyelashes against his cheeks.
But this was how it had to be. Every true desire Kurt would ever feel in his life would go unfulfilled. That was the path God had chosen for him.
Kurt grabbed his running tights and a T-shirt and left the room without ceremony. He changed in the bathroom. He'd forgotten his socks, but he wasn't going to go back in, so he tied on his shoes, addressed a note to Elder Anderson, and left it on the kitchen table with his phone and nametag before heading out the apartment door.
Kurt was breaking a rule. But he'd broken them before: unsupervised meetings with female investigators, sleepovers and slow dances with his companion, jerking off in the shower—going for a run by himself was hardly the worst infraction. And he needed to be alone. He couldn't think clearly when he was around Blaine. He let himself believe things that weren't true. He lulled himself into thinking Blaine could love him back in the same way Kurt loved him.
Because that's what it felt like, when Blaine took his hands in the hills of Allgäu and leaned against him on the train and danced with him slowly across the liv oh I had the wrong one goddamniting room, his cheek on Kurt's shoulder, his lips echoing the sweet, impossible words of a love song. Not just yesterday, but so many times before.
Sometimes, when Blaine looked at him, Kurt felt like God had created them for each other, like two puzzle pieces that snapped together perfectly.
And maybe God had. But not the way Kurt wanted. Kurt had wanted it so badly that he’d convinced himself, the night before, that Blaine was going to tell him the words he'd always longed to hear. It had seemed that way when Blaine spoke his name at the end of their dance last night, pronouncing the single syllable with the same reverence he said his prayers. Kurt had expected a confession of the best kind, thought the only reason it hadn't come forth was because Dani had interrupted them with her knocking.
So after she left, Kurt waited. He waited through their cleaning up and getting ready for bed, through their evening prayers when Blaine thanked Heavenly Father for their beautiful day and their wonderful companionship. He thought, after their “amen”s, when Blaine looked into his eyes the same way he had at the end of their dance, that Blaine was going to say it: I love you. I've always loved you. Not as a brother, but the way that Jonathan loves David.
Kurt’s sneakers pounding against the pavement made a steady, soothing sound. Somewhere a few streets off, a car was finding its way down the road. A bird or two twittered from the bushes, heralding the imminent arrival of dawn.
Kurt was so stupid. Blaine would never say that. Blaine thought Jonathan and David were just friends, because Blaine was so freaking straight that it didn’t even occur to him what his touches and looks and words and kisses and kindness did to Kurt. He loved Kurt and had no idea how much that love wounded him. To Blaine, everything was pure and simple and good. Sex and romance never figured into the connection between them.
Kurt was unraveling. So it had to end. He would run and pray until he could return to the apartment without saying something stupid. It wasn't going to be like last time, after the concert. He wasn't going to get angry at Blaine, and he wasn't going to give him the silent treatment, and he wasn't going to cry. They would have breakfast and do their morning studies like every other companionship in the mission. And then Kurt would excuse himself for a minute, shut himself in the bedroom, and call Elder St. James. It would be easy to tell him. Elder St. James already knew half of it. All Kurt had to do was tell him the other half. And then Elder St. James would call the mission president, and the mission president would call Kurt, and before the day was out, Kurt would be on a train to somewhere else and Blaine would have a new companion.
President Steele was reasonable. He wouldn't send Kurt home for wanting. He would give him a new companion who was annoying and had repulsive habits, and Kurt would bury himself in the work until it was time to go home.

Well this little list had me fall into a really well written story from an author I don't know and a fic I'd never heard of. Big rec to "Come Alive" above - great writing, perfect voicing - a surprise new story after all this time!
Here's a bingo card full of great Klaine fics:
Debut: Days by AllyThePotato
Page Turner: Come Alive by delires
Need Tissues: Stick Season by Blurglesmurfklaine
Unusual Occupation: Witch Wanted by RockItMan
Wild Card: Running in Circles, Coming up Tails by izwordsoup
Summer: Swing, Swing by quizasvivamos
Challenge: Ebb and Flow by maanorchidee
Laugh: these inconvenient fireworks by redheadgleek
Trope I don't normally read: Out of Eden (and the whole 'verse) by wowbright
Thanks for your Bingo card! HERE is the collection (125 fics and counting!) and here is the info for the 2023 Klaine Bingo! ~Lynne
1) Days by AllyThePotato
Blaine lives in San Fransisco, Kurt lives in Lima. They've never met in person, but befriend one another and talk over the phone. They make plans to live in NYC together, but will everything go as planned?
2) Come Alive by delires
1960s NYC: Newly-wed junior advertising exec Blaine Anderson finds a missing piece to his puzzle in the back room of a Manhattan bar. Mad Men era AU.
3) Stick Season by @blurglesmurfklaine
After Finn dies, Kurt leaves everything he knows behind without a trace. His hometown, his family, his boyfriend. When his dad has a medical scare, he returns to Lima, one year after breaking Blaine’s heart with no explanation.
4) Witch Wanted by @rockitmans
Blaine is cursed to not touch anyone, Kurt is the grumpy neighborhood witch. They each have something the other other needs (the thing is love)
5) Running in Circles, Coming up Tails by izwordsoup
Kurt and Adam are married with a seven-year-old daughter, Ellie. "Happily married" is another question. Ellie takes piano lessons from none other than Blaine Anderson, who also happens to be a good friend of Kurt's since college. What happens to them when Adam goes to England to star in a West End musical, leaving Kurt and Ellie in New York? What happens when Blaine becomes a more frequently-seen figure in Kurt and Ellie's lives due to Ellie's piano schedule?
6) Swing Swing by quizasvivamos
The Skanks, Kurt and Quinn, are a thing. Blaine, a bit of a bad boy, is dating that goth girl, Tina. The four best friends are fully immersed in the Emo/Scene subculture, the kids everyone at school calls emo or just plain freaks. As close-knit as a friend group can get, the couples share a lot in common: their love of choir and band, tastes in music and art, partying, going to shows and concerts, getting wasted, and—oh, yeah—each other's partners. They swap sometimes. Because it's cool, and it's hot. Besides, it's just for fun. Then, in the summer before their senior year, they take a life-altering road trip to Cleveland for Warped Tour 2005.
7) Ebb & Flow by maanorchidee
Blaine Anderson is yet another anonymous New Yorker who's trying to get a job in the entertainment industry. His days are filled with auditions, bleak subway rides, piano lessons, and complaining about his annoying next-door-neighbour. But Blaine has a secret that he cannot share with his other friends: he dreams of playing competitive Splatoon 2. He already has a hard time justifying this music degree, so he doesn't need to add an interest in eSports to that. That's why the only person who knows about this, is yet another stranger on the internet named Kurt. The two met in an LGBT Splatoon 2 Discord and became fast friends. Little do they know that they also know each other offline.
8) These Inconvenient Fireworks by redheadgleek
After an unexpected Tony award, Kurt Hummel is Broadway's hottest up and coming star, which comes with expectations and some admirers that won't take a hint. When his best friend Elliott Gilbert suggests that they pretend to date to get the leeches to back off, Kurt takes him up on the idea. It's all working out great - until Kurt starts to fall hard for the dark-haired music director of his latest musical.
9) Out of Eden by @wowbright
As a gay Mormon, Kurt Hummel has decided to go the rest of his life without falling in love. But toward the end of his two years as a missionary in Germany, Elder Anderson moves into his apartment—and Kurt's best-laid plans fall apart.

Thanks for recc'ing my story. That story is actually one of my faves that I've written which is extra surprising because it's not a trope I normally even like (famous!blaine) - but somehow I wrote it and I liked it. Enjoy!
Klainebingo 2023
Thank you for hosting this event! I’m an old school reader and admittedly haven’t read much new stuff post-2016 or so, so it’s been absolutely lovely to find some new stories and authors!
1 Reverb (2018) by Fickelodeon
2 Wouldn’t Change a Thing (2020) by nontarelationship 
3 You Will Be Found (2020) by kurtswish
4 Avian Series (2020) by kurtswish (Occupation: Superhero Costumer)
5 Even Better Than the Real Thing (2020) by gleekto
6 Andante, Andante (2020) by fionapear 
7 Courting Royalty (2022) by hundredindecisions (Challenge: 3-2-1 Prompt Bang 2022)
8 (N/A)
9 Head Versus Heart (2020) by dizzywhiz (Trope: Hurt/Comfort)
Thanks for your list!!  Find them on ao3.  Rules here
1. Debut fic:  Reverb by Fickelodeon
Post-Michael thru Season 4, Blaine’s just a little unwell, and it’s not long before everyone can tell. Physical and Mental illness. Hurt/Comfort. If Robin Cook wrote for Glee and General Hospital, the story would probably go like this. Universe Expansion for Seasons 3 and 4 wherein I add some elements to canon and leave some out but manage to get everyone back to place where they can still have the endings they got in canon. Honestly, I just wanted to write H/C, but the more I hurt Blaine, the more I realized he wasn’t going to handle that very well, so I added in diagnosed mental illness. All in all, it’s everything I love to read in fic all in one epic story, just in case I don’t ever get the chance to write these characters again.
2.  Page turner:  Wouldn’t Change a Thing  by notarelationship
On the eve of his junior year at Dalton, Blaine’s dad kicks him out of the house, dumping him at the bus stop, cutting him off, and leaving him homeless. This is the story of how he survives, meets Kurt, and ultimately triumphs.
3. Need Tissues:  You Will Be Found  by @kurtswish
While on a National Broadway Tour, Kurt meets an intriguing man. With more than just miles separating them, they must make a choice. Will they go back to their different lives, or will they let themselves be found?
4. Unusual occupation: Avian Series by @kurtswish
Kurt Hummel always felt separate from his world and being the only one without a Soulmark didn’t help. Just as he is ready to end it all, something happens to change the course of his life.  Parts 1 - 3
5. Your choice:  Even Better Than the Real Thing by @gleekto
College AU/Famous!Blaine and Fanboy!Kurt - Kurt POV
Kurt really doesn’t have time to figure out the dating world between being a freshman at prestigious theatre school, LAADA, and his active but secret blogging life in the Sing!Fandom. So what if Sing! ended last year? There are still fics to read and actors to follow. Especially the uber talented heartthrob lead, Blaine Anderson. He can act. He can sing. He can even dance. He’s gay. He’s out. And he’s only 24. Kurt is willing to twiddle his thumbs and click refresh until Blaine Anderson’s next project.
He just didn’t expect the next project to be on his roommate Rachel’s new TV show.
6. Summer story:  Andante, Andante  by fionapear
Burt settles himself down in the chair of the vanity, peering up at the wall-mount TV at the movie. He fishes in his pocket for the piece of paper from the restaurant earlier. His fortune cookie fortune reads: “With time comes understanding.” It feels a little apt, even if he can’t place exactly why.
(Or: In which Burt Hummel, slowly, begrudgingly, grows to accept Blaine’s presence in his life.)
7. Written for a challenge:  Courting Royalty  by hundredindecisions  @thnxforknowingmeme
During Kurt’s senior year, his friend Rachel gets some surprising news: she’s the princess of a tiny European country, and she has a twin brother to share the throne with. The summer after graduation, Kurt visits his newly-royal friend in the country she’s heir to before they head to New York for college. Staying in a castle and rubbing shoulders with European nobility is pretty overwhelming, but the most remarkable part is meeting Rachel’s brother Blaine, the new prince who Kurt instantly begins crushing on. This summer is either going to be a fairy tale come true, or result in multiple diplomatic catastrophes.Inspired by Meg Cabot’s Princess Diaries series and the movie adaptations, but no background knowledge is needed to understand the fic.
8. n/a
9.  Genre/trope you wouldn’t normally read:  Head Versus Heart by @dizzywhiz
Blaine gets hit by a taxi and ends up in the hospital - so naturally, as his best friend and long-standing roommate, Kurt visits him at every possible opportunity until he gets to come home.
It only takes a couple of visits before Kurt notices something impossibly endearing: the beeping of Blaine’s heart rate monitor speeds up whenever his friends come to visit. At least, Kurt assumes it happens with all of Blaine’s friends, until Sam has no idea what he’s talking about.

This was a really fun and lovely read. Kurt and Blaine are really well-voiced and in character. I rec it!
(note excerpt above is from later chapter - go back to the beginning and read the whole thing!)
Smart With Math, Stupid With Love - Now Complete!
Summary: Kurt just wants to survive Senior Year and maybe get a date with Sam. He doesn't need the new resident "Bad Boy" (more like Boy Band) to cause any complications. But it's hard to ignore a good offer when it comes along. Calculus lessons in exchange for Lessons In Love. God he must be desperate.
Warnings: Canon consistent homophobia and bullying. Boys being idiots.
Notes: And phew, we're done! Thank you so much for reblogging, commenting and general love. It's what makes the story get written and I fully appreciate all of it <3
~~
Kurt has Mercedes over at the weekend and she more than makes up for Blaine's lukewarm response. She screams in his face and asks him a thousand questions and starts raiding his closet to help him pick out an outfit, even though they haven't even set a date yet. 
Maybe it's just the difference between girl friends and guy friends. Kurt doesn’t actually have much to compare Blaine to in that regard. Or maybe Blaine just isn't very demonstrative by text and will get energised when Kurt sees him in person. Either way Kurt is back to being excited to see him by the time their next tutoring session rolls around. 
Blaine looks a little scruffier than usual, curls unkempt like he's been messing with his hair a lot, eyeliner dark, and a scowl in place that is usually reserved for keeping people away from him. Kurt lights up anyway. He can't help it. In a moment Blaine will catch his eye and match his grin and Kurt will cover him in a tirade of speculation about The Date and Blaine will patiently reassure him. He can see it so clearly that he nearly trips over a table leg when Blaine barely glances his way and just greets him with a clipped, "Hummel."

Going to jump in here to rec my own fic - because I just reread it and I love it!
Roommate Wanted - Straight guy (Blaine) worries he’s being homophobic to gay roommate (Kurt), then realizes he’s fallen for him. NYADA AU.
Hey! Do you have some Fanfics were they’re roommates? Preferably school related
Hey Nonnie,
Of course! Lovely trope, isn’t it? Please find a list below.
Hugs,
Marjan
Bed Mates by @missmichellebelle
Kurt did not come to college to babysit someone when they’re drunk, even if Blaine is ridiculously endearing when he is.
Cohabitant by @unshurtugal
Blaine is Kurt’s worst nightmare as far as roommates go, but one day Kurt comes home and discovers something unexpected.
Faux départ by @hazelandglasz
Kurt and Blaine have never met until they become roommates in college. They completely get off on the wrong foot and kind of hate each other at first. Until they don’t.
I Know What I Need by @caramelcoffeeaddict
Kurt and Blaine are college roommates. Both boys have girlfriends and think they’re straight. One night, after both of them suddenly find themselves single, they get drunk and turn to each other to abate their sexual appetites.
Instead by @xbeautifulunseenx
Kurt and Blaine are paired as roommates their first year in college. Told in four parts, this is their story of undying friendship, bitter heartbreak and, ultimately, unconditional love. Follow them freshman through senior year on their road to self-discovery, and their road to each other — including all the twists and turns along the way.

Hank Azaria, Sutton Foster, and Darren Criss among guest stars on final The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season
You can take The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel out of New York, but you can't take the New York out of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Though the fifth season of the Prime Video show remains squarely rooted in the Big Apple for its final bow, it also continues to illustrate that idiom with its lineup of guest stars, which EW can exclusively announce here.
The crop of impressive guest stars draws heavily from the Broadway stage, including Hank Azaria (Spamalot), Sutton Foster (The Music Man, Anything Goes, Thoroughly Modern Millie), and Darren Criss (Glee, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, American Buffalo). Rounding out that trio is Danny Strong (creator of Dopesick) and Sean Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy), as well as David Paymer returning to the role of Harry Drake. For anyone well-versed in the world of Maisel or the Amy Sherman-Palladino-verse, these names will come as no surprise. The show has often been a love letter to Broadway, featuring needle drops from a myriad of classic productions and performers.
While we can't share any details on what these guest stars will be up to, we can promise they'll come with the usual Maisel wit and panache. "They continue their journey upward," Alex Borstein told EW of Susie and Midge's final act. "But like any good graph, you must come down before you go up again. It's like the economy. It's a marathon, and we stumble and we fall. Sometimes we defecate on the run... but the point is, we make it to the end of the race."
The final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel premieres Friday, April 14, on Prime Video. A new episode will drop weekly through May 26.
