Hi! Can you please recommend some enemies to lovers to enemies trope / Friends to enemies to lovers?? Thanks!

Generally, the trope is usually enemies to lovers, or friends to lovers, so maybe you want fics with a different twist to them and it's all not just a happy ending? Here are some where they start as either friends, become lovers, but it's not so simple and they have to overcome obstacles to be together. Or they are enemies, become lovers and then have some sort of fall out, which may or may not be resolved. ~ Jen

Please suggest others!!

Collide by @scatter-the-stars

Kurt Hummel is having a terrible week. On top of his car breaking down and his laptop dying at the worst time possible, finding his boyfriend cheating on him is the final straw against the camel’s back. A night of drinking is much deserved. But waking up in bed with star quarterback Blaine Anderson is something he doesn’t need. Determined to forget it and move on, he finds that hard when Blaine has other ideas. At first wanting nothing to do with the biggest playboy on campus, somehow Kurt finds himself agreeing to being friends with Blaine. It’s a friendship that opens his eyes to the guy he never really knew. And soon finds him wanting the one person he maybe shouldn’t want.

Note: Part 1 of Major and Minor

Venetian Blaine arrives at Carnival’s masquerade ball, looking for his next conquest. His reputation as a lover is legendary, and no one can resist him.

Someone Like You by iconicklaine

Kurt and Blaine keep up their very own version of “When Harry Met Sally” for years, a friendship fraught with sexual tension and longing, until the agendas of Adele (yes, THE Adele), a bored NY socialite and a super-sweet hetero couple bring our boys together. The only problem is… they’re both in committed relationships.

Note: This story is AU after “Sexy,” and assumes Kurt and Blaine graduate from Dalton in the same year. In this future fic, set in 2025, Blaine is based off of Season 2 Blaine.

100 Days by borogroves

Kurt and Blaine have been best friends (and nothing more) since the age of six. Now 22-year-old college graduates, they take a roadtrip around the USA, visiting every state in 100 days. Fifty states. Two boys. One love story.

Perfectly Imperfect by @catcat-85

Golden Globe winning actor, Blaine Anderson went to prison for a murder he did not commit. After 5 long years, he has escaped from prison, and in a desperate need to get to a safe house before he can leave the country; he kidnaps Kurt, and forced him to drive him to a secluded cabin nestled in between the snowy mountains in Vermont. For Blaine, it’s his last chance for freedom. Falling in love is the last thing on Blaine’s mind. It’s not part of the plan. And for Kurt, it’s a terrifying situation that disrupts the impeccably perfect life he has created for himself. He’s outraged and angry at Blaine, and yet; he can’t help but believe Blaine is innocent.

Will the truth finally come out and Blaine be exonerated? Will the FBI catch him and put him back in prison? Will he and Kurt fall in love even in the most hopeless situation? Will love truly prevail all at the end?

Based on the novel, Perfect, by Judith McNaught. This is a story about two men who are complete opposites from one another; and yet, they complete each other in a perfectly imperfect way.

Just Between Us, Do You Remember It?

Author: @cryscendo

Rating: M

Status: Completed in January 2024

Word Count: 17, 040

Summary: He sat alone at a table in a quaint, little coffee shop in the city. He chose this shop, because he knew that it was never particularly crowded. He was going to need every ounce of privacy that he could get.

He was well over halfway through his first cup of coffee when a voice requested his attention — a voice that he was all too familiar with.

“Y’know, I’m honestly surprised you were willing to meet with me.”

Kurt turned, taking in a figure that he had not seen organically in just over three years. Even then, something about looking at the older man made his heart skip in ways that he did not want to think about.

Tropes/Genre: age!gap, future!fic, angst, long one shot, song fic based on Taylor Swift's All Too Well

Lynne's review: Excellent! I couldn't stop reading. Heartbreaking, yet loving. Loved it.

Pressed Against The Glass by @GleefulPoppet  

Is it possible that the most extraordinary love story ever told starts on a chilly October morning in New York with an impromptu twirl and an elbow to a stranger’s face? Kurt wouldn’t have thought so, but when it happens, his heart stops. It’s just one touch, but is that all it takes to believe? Should he take a chance and never look back? But what happens when the stranger runs away, even though he finally feels complete and brought to life? Is it just a dream—or will he let his walls come down? Will they live with regrets or find the love that will make them feel young forever?

AKA: The one about soulmates and the italicized Oh.

The Muse by @the-cimmerians

[somethingfishyfan]

Hi. I love the library. I just want to say I'm I'm so grateful that it's still here even though the show has been over for awhile. I was wondering if anyone knows of a fic where Klaine are not together, but they make a pact that if neither of them are married by a certain age, they say they will marry each other. Artie and Tina had a pact like this. Are there any stories where Klaine doesn't get back together like they did in the show, but they get married because of a pact?

Thank you for loving the library!!

I know of this one, where they agree to marry, when they were friends. ~Jen

Ten Years later by nadiacreek

 Right after the Supreme Court’s ruling on same sex marriage in 2015, best friends Kurt and Blaine make a pact that if they aren’t seeing anyone by the time they turn 30, they’ll get married. 30 comes and it’s time to own up to the deal and secret crushes. (This was the prompt for the fic exchange.)

and a pact, but not to marry...

This Side by  flyblckbirdfly

Kurt and Blaine have been best friends since the day Kurt stopped Blaine on the stairs at Dalton, but never anything more. This is why Blaine is more than a little shocked when Kurt suggests that they lose their virginity to one another before they head off to New York for college.

I Think I’m in Love (But It Makes Me Kinda Nervous to Say So) by musingsonaredradish

From this prompt on the GKM: Everyone has a soulmate and kurt is a romantic, he dreamed his whole life about finding HIM. What kurt didn’t think of was that his soulmate would be someone so unexpected he would turn his whole world upside down. Because kurt finds out that his soulmate is actually badboy Blaine Anderson! But what kurt and the other people don’t know is that blaine is actually a sweetheart, too. Yes, he dress in leather, he rides a bike, he gets into fights and all the cliches, but the truth is he is willing to give everything to the people he loves. It’s just that nobody gave him a chance before and he uses that strong image to defend himself from the world.

Never met a man Quite like you Doing all you can Making my dreams come true

You’re strong and you’re smart You’ve taking my heart And I’ll give you the rest of me too

You’re the perfect man for me I love you I do

Mm I love ya

I’ve never felt Quite like this Good about myself From my very first kiss I’m here when you call You’ve got it all And confidence like I never knew

You’re the perfect man for me I love you I do

You’ve got a charm You simply disarm me every time As long as u drive I’m along for the ride Your the way I said it before There won't be a door That’s closed to us Putting all my trust in you Cause you, you’ll always be true, Oh

[somethingfishyfan]

All of these lines across my face Tell you the story of who I am So many stories of where I've been And how I got to where I am But these stories don't mean anything When you've got no one to tell them to It's true, I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops Swam all across the ocean blue I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules But baby I broke them all for you Because even when I was flat broke You made me feel like a million bucks You do and I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth It's hiding the words that don't come out And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed They don't know my head is a mess No, they don't know who I really am And they don't know what I've been through like you do And I was made for you

All of these lines across my face Tell you the story of who I am So many stories of where I've been And how I got to where I am But these stories don't mean anything When you've got no one to tell them to It's true, I was made for you

Oh yeah, well it's true That I was made for you

The power of love is a curious thing Make a one man weep, make another man sing Change a hawk to a little white dove More than a feeling, that's the power of love

Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream Make a bad one good, make a wrong one right Power of love will keep you home at night

You don't need money, don't take fame Don't need no credit card to ride this train It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes But it might just save your life That's the power of love That's the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad Next time you feel it, it might make you mad But do be glad baby when you've found That's the power that makes the world go 'round

And it don't take money, don't take fame Don't need no credit card to ride this train It's strong and it's sudden, it can be cruel sometimes But it might just save your life

They say that all in love is fair Yeah, but you don't care But you know what to do (to do) When it gets hold of you And with a little help from above You feel the power of love You feel the power of love Can you feel it? Mmm

It don't take money and it don't take fame Don't need no credit card to ride this train Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel You won't feel nothin' 'til you feel You feel the power Just feel the power of love That's the power That's the power of love

You feel the power of love You feel the power of love Feel the power of love

@rougedraconteur just reminded me of how long I've been in the Glee/Klaine fandom (14+ years 😱). The @klaineccfanficlibrary started because I was just reading so many fics and sharing my thoughts, I created a side blog to do it and it sort of exploded. I needed help, so I asked my closest fandom friend to help me (sadly as most, she's no longer in fandom). Idk how many of you remember the great Tumblr purges when they'd delete your blogs for no reason, they deleted my main which also took the library with it. We had to start all over again. Thankfully, @hkvoyage and @lilyvandersteen were complete gems and joined me in the insane task of rebuilding a behemoth blog, which we did. Now we've added another helpful admin, @1908jmd and we're grateful for her help as real life takes over.

Long winded intro to my poll question 😁

I'd love to know how long everyone has been on Tumblr, in the Glee/Klaine fandom. Let's go!
