Anyway, Here's Wonderwall (21/?)

Day 21: Work (also on AO3)

“Holy shit.”

Kurt lay in bed, his naked body still thrumming and curled around Blaine’s, his feet tangled in sheets, his hand still slightly sticky with Blaine’s release. The room was dark, save for the moonlight shining through the window, the only sounds beside their breathing being the faint, drunken singing of an Oasis song downstairs. With his other hand he combed his fingers through his hair and off his forehead. That was the best blow job I have ever had.

“Penny for your thoughts?” Blaine whispered.

Oh, the thoughts he had were worth much more than a penny. “That was fantastic.”

“Ooh, fantastic, high praise.”

“I’m serious. That was amazing, Blaine. I saw stars, my body is still buzzing, and I’m pretty sure at some point you may have sucked out parts of my brain through my dick, because I couldn’t make words for a minute.” He patted Blaine’s arm. “Nice work, you’re hired.”

“I’m sorry, I’m what?”

“I asked if you were qualified, you showed your skills, and you are very skilled at that.”

“Why, thank you. So, what exactly am I ‘hired’ for, anyway?”

My boyfriend, silly is what he was about to say, when he heard the distinct sound of a cell phone buzzing on vibrate. Kurt wasn’t sure if he was saved by the bell or irritated at the interruption…possibly a bit of both. They both retrieved their pants from the floor to see whose phone was going off. Kurt reached in his pocket. “It’s my dad.” He pressed the answer button. “Hey, Dad, it’s kind of late.”

“Sorry, kiddo, I thought I was calling soon enough to catch you, time zones and all,” Burt said. “I figured when I hadn’t heard from you that something happened with your flight?”

“Yeah, we got snowed in at the pub. Sorry I didn’t call sooner.” Kurt looked back at Blaine. “We got preoccupied.”

“Well we’ve been through enough Ohio winters, I know you can handle yourself. You keeping warm?”

Kurt blushed, because yep he sure was. “Um, sure Dad. Nice and toasty.”

“And uh, Elliott and Dani, they doing okay? You know Carole’s looking forward to having Dani over. The more the merrier, right?”

“Right,” Kurt said. He glanced back at Blaine for a moment and suddenly got a crazy, presumptuous idea, because he didn’t want whatever this was to end in this pub. “Say, Dad, do you think you have room for one more? There’s a possibility I have another orphan tagging along.”

“Like I said, our home is their home. You just let me know, okay? As soon as your flight’s rebooked, we’ll come pick you up.”

“Thanks. I’m sorry I’m missing out on family time.”

“So long as you’re home by Christmas day, we’ll be fine. Love you, bud. Goodnight.”

“Love you too.” Kurt ended the call and put his phone back in his pants pocket.

“Oh, I’m another orphan, huh?” Kurt turned at the sound of Blaine’s voice. Dumb, stupid, gorgeous, tauntingly naked Blaine, leaning back on his hands.

Kurt crawled back onto the bed and sat across from him. “I mean, you could say no. I was pretty bold to even ask.”

“No, not at all,” Blaine said, leaning in. “The weather and Wes’s appendix pretty much cut our Dickensian Christmas short, anyway. I mean, we’d probably just be spending the holiday in the hospital cafeteria. Wait, do British hospitals have cafeterias? And is the food just as bad?”

“Some ignoramus would probably say ‘no worse than regular British food’,” Kurt said in a purposefully moronic voice. They laughed. “But in all seriousness, Blaine, I don’t really want this to be a one time thing.”

“Neither do I,” Blaine scooted closer to Kurt and rested his hands on Kurt’s thighs, rubbing circles with his thumbs. “I’d love to spend Christmas with you.”

“And after?”

“Oh, after isn’t even a question.” Blaine’s thumbs continued to stroke, inching further towards Kurt’s crotch. “Now, did you really say, and I’m quoting you here, that I ‘sucked parts of your brain out through your dick’?”

Kurt let out a cross between a giggle and a sigh of pleasure. “Oh God, did I?”

“Well, it seems to me you still have some brains,” Blaine bent down and placed a kiss at the tip of Kurt’s cock, already twitching to attention. “And I want to fuck them out of you.”

dating the midnight mass characters as a vampire

pairing(s): father paul, erin greene, sarah gunning & sheriff hassan x gn! reader

content warnings for spoilers, brief mentions of death and minor angst !

father paul

he's obviously the reason you turn in tje first place

he's gonna be there every single minute that you need him

would only let you drink the "angel" blood if you were 100% ok and ready for it

if there's a single crumb of hesitation he will refuse

he's so scared at first in case something goes wrong, he probably goes back on his invitation to drink the blood so many times

he'll be super caring and thoughtful

"hey love how're you feeling?" "how's my beloved feeling today?"

as soon as there's the slightest hint that something is wrong he'll panic and go into protective mode

so proud of you, he could literally never be disappointed in anything that you do after you power through the side affects

"im so proud love, im so glad the lord let us find eachother"

helps you control the hunger

you're eachother's rock through the entire experience

i feel like there's been times where he's very nearly died by the sun creeping up and you've saved him

he scolds you for risking your life but is eternally grateful, and that's not something he wishes to keep secret

his presence is just so comforting

he'll sit next to you, rubbing his thumb comfortingly over your hand

bonus: he lets you lie against his chest because he knows his heartbeat soothes you

erin greene

i feel like she would be absolutely terrified at first

after what happened with riley she's so scared to lose another person that she's fell head over heels for

eventually she'll come around, she'll still hate the fact that you're a vampire bit she'll love you no matter what

she trusts you and knows that you would never burt her or force her to do anything that she didn't agree with so she's 100% comfortable around you, vampire or not

i feel like you probably reassured her right away that your love for her was stronger than any urge

feel like she'd be ready to beat up father paul if she found out how much pain you went through during the process

the absolute best at comforting you

she always knows exactly what to say if you ever start to feel overwhelmed

always happy to hold your hand if you need it, her hands are so soft and warm

probably lets you fall asleep on her lap all the time, she can never face waking you up, it's always nice to see you sleeping peacefully despite recent events

she'll gently play with your hair while you sleep, not so it's noticeable, it's just abreally sweet moment to her so she can't help herself

she lowkey misses having picnics under the sun with you, but she much prefers star gazing

sarah gunning

im not gonna lie at first i think she'd be absolutely terrified

not of you, but for you

she'll try her absolute best to explain it scientifically, but it's just impossible

the idea of vampire is probably always nagging at the back of her mind, bur she's so reluctant to believe it, it's just a story... right?

she eventually forced herself to believe it when you quietly convice her

she's gonna be the absolute best carer you could possibly wish for, she doesn't really know how to help but she absolutely tries her best

"hey love, how you holding up? you feeling ok?"

she's so encouraging and understanding

"i love you y/n, you're so strong"

she won't be scared of you at all, she'll literally let you cuddle up next to you and stroke your hair while you fall asleep on her shoulder

always makes jokes to lighten your mood if you're the type to regret becoming a vampire

like i'm talking super cheesy, probably slightly cringey jokes

sheriff hassan

he's absolutely petrified, i feel like his terror is a mix of erin's and sarah's

he's grown so attatched to you that he couldn't bear loosing you too

but he also wants you to live the perfect life so when all these obstacles are thrown in your way he's absolutely distraught

he gets in a panic a lot which sometimes, but rarely, leads to him snapping, he'll instantly regret it though and apologise

you both know he doesn't mean it and you'll end up reassuring him that you're ok

has defintely threatened to punch or actually has punched father paul when he discovers how painful it was when the angel attacked you

he'll be so caring and even sweeter than usual

he'll always bring you coffee as you can't leave or walk around the house to get it yourself anymore, feel like you don't even have to ask at this point

after a while he he wouldn't blame what happened on anyone except the angel, he absolutely would never blame you and he just thinks father paulbwas deceived

he really enjoys spending his day with you

he's so proud when you tell him everything, like how difficult it was to control the hunger and the painful side effects

"hey love, you're absolutely amazing, i had no idea, you're so strong"

most people would probably assume he would be cautious wih you around his son, but he's not at all

he adores seeing you and ali bond, i dout you guys would tell him about the vampire thing for a while, but when you eventually do ali probably figured it out already

Could you find a fic i read ages ago? Kurt had a lot of calls to Trevor in his phone and Finn thought it was a friend but it was the divide hotline and Burt confronted him about it

Found it. Bonus one shot with Blaine calling instead of Kurt. ~Lynne

Don't harm the turtledove by tigriswolf

Kurt had honestly forgotten Finn stole his phone to play b'loons before dinner started. He's laughing at the look on Dad's face and he'll never be able to remember what Carole said that was so funny, and Finn asks, "Hey, dude, who's Trevor? He a Warbler or somethin'? You called him, like, a million times."

~~~~~

cry to you beyond upon this bitter air by ShanleenKinnJaskey

During practice one day, Finn borrows Blaine's phone. Finn discovers almost nightly calls to a "trevor" who he assumes Blaine is cheating on Kurt with. He calls Blaine out in front of everyone, only to find out the horrible truth about Blaine's life at home.

The Flying Saucer Mystery

Hey do you like camping? Do you like aliens? Do you like treasure hunts? If you said yes to all three than this might be the game for you! @nancydrewnetwork

Inspired by The Flying Saucer Mystery(duh)

Mystery

Nancy and her friend’s all-expenses paid(by Carson Drew) camping trip is quickly derailed by rumors of strange encounters and long-lost treasure hidden deep in the Shawnee National Forest. Hopefully Nancy can solve the case before she gets abducted (and maybe she can have a fun vacation for once).

Friends

Ned Nickerson: Nancy’s boyfriend. Chemical Engineering major and star athlete at Emerson. This time he gets to help in person. His experience as a camp counselor and first aid will come in handy.

Bess Marvin: Longtime best friend and always reliable. She’s good at keeping the campers happy in tough times and knows more cutesy camp recipes than Pinterest. Actually, she might’ve stolen them all from Pinterest.

George Fayne: Other longtime best friend and outdoors enthusiast. She’s a useful friend to have both on the trail and for when your gadgets fail on you and you don’t know why.

Burt Eddleton: Best friend of Ned. Biology major at Emerson who seemingly can’t choose what to focus on exactly. He knows a lot about both wildlife and plants. Pretty good athlete and pretty chill dude. Kind of a Himbo. Proud duck Dad (Don’t worry Sparkles is with a chickensitter).

Dave Evans: Other best friend of Ned. Archaeology major at Emerson. He knows a lot about artifacts or at least he’s mostly talking about artifacts because Bess gets freaked out by the skeletal side of his interests. Pretty chill guy also might play Wonderwall if presented with a guitar.

Suspects

Blake Wilkinson: Co-owner and head guide of Happy Trails Camping Company. She’s the trail guide helping the group get through this vacation. She seems nice enough but she is way too serious about her job. Well maybe not too serious. How else can you explain the buyout offer she’s hiding from Amani? What else could she be hiding?

Amani Wilkinson: Blake’s wife and other co-owner of Happy Trails Camping Company. She prefers nature over business. In fact, she doesn’t seem at all interested in the company (Does Blake know?). She’s happy enough to show you around the forest. Hopefully she doesn’t leave you all alone out there. Just kidding, she would never do that. Right?

Shay Hernandez: Assistant trail guide and aspiring park ranger. Or so he says. He claims to be a college student at a local university, but won’t say what his major is. That’s okay, maybe he’s still deciding. However, he talks a lot about science. Not just biology or even ecology like you might expect from someone who spends most of his time in the outdoors. He talks about computer science and robotics too. Is it just the sign of a budding scientific mind? Or is it a sign of something else?

Sonny Joon: Nancy knows Sonny’s here for the aliens, but does she really know him enough to say that’s the only reason why he’s there? Or is she in for another.....adventure with him? I’m sorry Sonny fans but it fits.

Soffi Ziririan: The only one of the campers (besides Sonny) that doesn’t know that much about the area. Again or so she says. She’s an avid hiker and outdoor enthusiast. She loves challenging herself with new challenges. Strangely, she didn’t give that much information to Blake or Amani when she signed up for the trip. She might just be a private person because that happens all the time...

Kole Morse: He’s a local, so it’s strange for him to be going on a guided trail experience. He knows the forest like the back of his hand, so why is he here? He claims it’s just for fun, but no one knows for sure. One thing that is for sure is that Kole is a true environmentalists. He doesn’t believe in the aliens, he thinks all the sightings are fake and going to negatively affect the environment. He not too keen on “people who don’t truly understand the forest” being in the forest. Whatever that means. How far is he willing to go to protect what he refers to as ‘his forest’?

Joseph “Old Joe” Austin: Native American man from the local Shawnee tribe, One of the oldest residents from around Shawnee National Forest. He lives in a cabin with his brother Sam and his dog Trixie. He’s also a shoe-in for the friendliest resident of the forest award. He’s welcoming and kind to all the campers that come through. He says he’s given up on finding his father’s treasure. Or has he?

Samuel “Sam” Austin: Old Joe’s younger brother. Unlike his brother, he’s quiet and likes to keep to himself. Old Joe just says he’s shy. Really, Nancy figures out that he’s deaf. Luckily she remembers a bit of sign language and that online dictionary the Hardy Boys text is a great bonus. He’s actually trying to find his dad’s treasure again. Although he seems innocent enough, Nancy doesn’t know how far he’ll go to get his dad’s treasure.

Phone Friends

Frank and Joe Hardy: They were supposed to go on the trip with the group, but Frank broke his leg during their last mystery so Burt and Dave took their spots. They are super bummed. Luckily Nancy can call them so they can live vicariously through her.

Dagny Silva: There’s treasure, here’s Dagny. Not actually there because she has better more certain treasure to track down, but she owes it to Nancy to occasionally answer her phone.

Ranger Maia Chikovani: A ranger of the national forest, asked Nancy to figure out what’s going on. She believes in aliens, but is a bit more worried about the impact their UFO may have on the environment.

Locations

Forest Trails and Clearing: There pretty straightforward. Trees and plants and stuff. There’s quite a few different locations, but can all be summed up by this title. Nancy has a map to keep track.

River appears next to some of the trail but not all of them.

Old Joe’s Cabin: It’s where he lives with his brother and dog.

Swamp: Where the UFO has been spotted. Coincidentally, the treasure is rumored to be near this location

Treasure’s real location: It’s not actually near the swamp. This location is only revealed after Nancy figures it out.

Time

Day/Night cycle. Time keeps on moving so your week may be more than a week depending on how long it takes for you to solve it.

Transportation

Horseback riding: For longer distances along the trails

Walking: For shorter distances and areas that the horses cannot go. Also for like around the camp and stuff. Nancy’s not riding the horse for a week straight that would just be weird.

Puzzles/Mini Games

Pitching a tent

Fishing

Building a fire

Cooking camp meals

Roasting marshmallows and making the perfect s’more

Mushroom picking: I’m enby I can’t not include mushrooms.

Decoding/Solving the clues Old Joe and Sam’s father left for them: This is a series of different puzzles, all at different times and with different purposes. They all fall under the same category so they’re being lumped. I imagine they would be a mixture of logic and clues that you find about the two brothers and around the forest itself.

Opening the treasure box: Simply one of those weirdly over-complicated puzzle boxes that everyone seems to have. You know the type.

Fixing the radio: The radio gets trashed with the rest of the camp and it’s up to Nancy to fix it

Lockpicking other campers’ locked private possesion: The usual

Flying the Spaceship: After Nancy and Ned get trapped in the spaceship, Nancy needs to figure out how to fly it before they crash!

Alien Dream World: Nancy and Ned are transported to an alien world by the spaceship. It’s so amazing it’s like a dream.

Finding Arrowheads: there’s a few old arrowheads scattered around. They’re old and don’t belong to anyone (at least not anymore). Mostly collected for fun.

Second Chances

Riding your horse into the swamp: Why?

Drown in the swamp: At least the water’s warm....it’s not worth it

Radio explodes: You shouldn’t have connected those wires

Crash the spaceship: Should’ve used the turn signal

Bear attack: like the alien attack but with bears

Alien attack: like the bear attack but with aliens

Setting yourself on fire: Stop, drop, and roll!

Ate the wrong mushroom: you clearly picked a toadstool, not a mushroom. (It’s a joke don’t get technical lol)

Additional Features/Notes

This is only loosely based off Shawnee National Forest. I cannot guarantee the presence of small swamps or aliens. Also the pictures and everything might not be perfectly accurate. It’s just aesthetic, it doesn’t have to take place in Shawnee. I just needed a name. It can change.

Communication is different with Sam than with the other characters due to the fact that he is deaf. He uses sign language (that is automatically translated). Nancy’s speech is silent for his conversations, she’s using sign language too but you can’t see her hands (because you’re not really supposed to talk when you’re using sign language. Also Sam only “speaks” to people who can also use sign language.

Speaking of communication, I know we all like our phone friends, but cell signal is unreliable on this trip. Nancy won’t always be able to get in touch with her contacts so she’ll have to rely on her in-person friends. This time they can be assigned to certain tasks as well as provide hints. Everyone has their own specialized hints that the other characters won’t know a thing about.

Just for the sake of clarification, most people in the area do know about the treasure left by Mr.Austin. Most people don’t believe in it anymore, some believe that it belongs to the brothers (if it does exist), and other think it’s finder’s keepers.

P.S. Sorry for breaking Frank’s leg but Joe gets hurt the twice as much as he does so it’s only fair that he sometimes it’s his fault that they can’t go camping. tbh with their mysteries they camp like once a week, they have nothing to complain about.

Klainetober day 27

Prompt 27: Candy Corn

Summary: Quinn hosts a party, Kurt pines for his best friend, and Lauren is right afterall

Notes: If I wrote glee, this would probably be somewhere in season 2, I guess.

AO3

Kurt was thankful he wasn’t hosting this party. When Quinn volunteered her empty house for a Halloween Bash, he was relieved. Not that Burt and Carole wouldn’t have let the New Directions spend a night watching scary movies in the basement (they absolutely would have) but because Kurt and Finn won’t be on clean-up duty for once. He was also excited for Puck’s promise of alcohol. Though Kurt had bad experiences in the past with drinking he was determined to give it a second chance and limit his intake this time. He would pace himself and hope to God he wouldn’t embarrass himself...again.

Some of the glee club was doing shots (Brittany, Santana, Puck, and Artie) but most were content with the apple cider and caramel vodka mixture Quinn and Mercedes had made. In fact, they enjoyed it so much, the two girls were in the kitchen stirring up a second batch. Having volunteered to be a designated driver, Finn was content with his handful of candy corn.

Unsurprisingly, Rachel had brought her karaoke machine and attempted to convince Finn to sing a spooky duet with her. Except, she was slurring her words and kept saying “spoopy.”

Mike and Tina were half-dancing and half-making out in the center of the living room. Sam was in deep conversation with Blaine and a few other Warblers about the latest Star Wars film.

Lauren came over to where Kurt was standing by the food table.

“Why so glum?” she asked, nudging his shoulder.

“I’m not glum.”

“Are you just a sad drunk cause I don’t need any crybabies tonight?”

Kurt remembered Finn telling him Lauren was an angry drunk. She had torn Puckerman a new one at their last drunk get together.

“No crybabies here,” he swore, “just wishful daydreams.”

His eyes wandered back to Sam and Blaine. They were sitting awfully close together. If Kurt didn’t already attempt to hit on Sam, he’d assume Blaine was interested in the blond. Unfortunately, for both himself and Blaine, Sam was very straight (or so he claimed, Kurt still thought no straight man would bleach his hair) and dating Quinn.

“Lingering feelings?” Lauren questioned, following Kurt’s gaze.

“For Sam?” Kurt clarified. “No, I’m definitely over that crush. It was headed nowhere just like all my other ones.”

“Eh, boys suck anyway. Who needs ‘em?”

Kurt grabbed a soft pretzel and bit off a piece.

Lauren kept talking, “You really have no type then.”

“Excuse me?”

“You’re excused.” Lauren took a sip of her cider from an orange solo cup. “From Gigantor to Southern Surfer to Curly Q. You’ve got me stumped, do they have anything in common?”

“Being nice to me, I suppose,” Kurt told her. “Finn eventually helped with the bullying, Sam was willing to sing a duet with me until Finn warned me not to, and Blaine is like my best friend.”

“You need higher standards, Hummel.” Lauren shook her head. “You can’t just fall in love with nice guys. You need someone who actually cares about you. Who loves you.”

Even tipsy, Lauren gave good advice.

“That’s the thing, I think maybe…” Kurt trailed off.

The front door burst open and in came the remaining Cheerios and football players. Behind them, half of the McKinley population.

“I don’t care what anyone says, there’s gotta be more than one gay at McKinley. You and I, Hummel, are about to find him.”

For the next hour or so, Lauren dragged Kurt around the house and made obscene comments about the party-goers. Kurt’s pretty unwilling to talk to any boy Lauren deems “team gay.” Not because he doesn’t trust her input, he does, it’s just Kurt doesn’t want just any boy, he wants Blaine. They ultimately end up in the living room again and Kurt is back to trying not to be caught watching his crush.

Only Sam is still on the couch talking to Blaine.

“If I get blondie to leave, will you swear to jump in there and talk to him?”

“He’s my best friend. I don’t have trouble talking to him,” Kurt told her.

“Liar. If you didn’t have issues talking, you’d be dating.”

Without another word, Lauren gets Sam away from Blaine. Kurt doesn’t want to know what she said to make him jump up like that but he’s glad for the opportunity. Even though he didn’t really promise Lauren anything he jumps into Sam’s vacated spot on the couch.

“Hi Kurt, enjoying yourself? I feel like I haven’t seen you all night.”

“I was with Lauren,” he explained, “she was attempting to find another gay boy who goes to McKinley to prove me wrong.”

Before they get past how-do-you-dos, Sam is standing on top of a table shouting “Cops!”

At first, Kurt is confused by this but then it all clicks and he understands.

“We gotta go,” Kurt said, grabbing Blaine’s hand.

In no state to drive and thankful Finn had parked a couple of blocks away, Kurt dragged Blaine out the back door and ran. When it came to underaged high school parties, shouting ‘cops’ was like someone shouting fire. That is to say: chaos.

Once the house was no longer in sight, the boys walked to a nearby park to catch their breath.

“Who knew McKinley’s parties were so exciting?” Blaine said.

“I certainly wouldn’t,” Kurt replied. “I thought Quinn was limiting it to glee people.”

“Sam told me she’s already prepping for prom queen. Something about throwing good parties and earning favor with the popular kids.”

Kurt nodded. That sounded like Quinn. Unforgettable parties were a great way to be remembered.

Blaine took a seat on one of the swings. “What were you saying back at the house about finding another gay boy?”

“Oh.” Kurt hoped the cold would explain his red cheeks and sat on the swing next to Blaine. “I told Lauren there’s no other out gay kids at McKinley, it’s just me.”

“And?”

“Pretty sure, I’m still right. We were unsuccessful.”

“Not for long,” Blaine said.

Kurt whipped his head around. “What do you mean?”

“I’m transferring so I guess the out gay population just doubled.”

“Why?” Kurt blurted out. “I mean, you are?”

“Yeah, um, my mom’s had enough of my dad’s BS so we’re moving to Lima. I want to live with her so that means leaving Dalton.”

“Well, I’m sad that you have to leave the Warblers but I’m also glad you’ll be with me. At McKinley that is.”

Blaine ducked his head and chuckled.

“You being at McKinley is definitely a bonus.”

Kurt shyly smiled back at his friend.

“So, I don’t want to make things weird but I feel there’s an opportunity here. I was talking to Wes and Sam earlier and they agreed there’s really nothing stopping me from asking now.”

“Curiosity peaked,” Kurt replied.

“Just promise you’ll say no if you don’t want to. We can completely forget I even asked at all if that’s what you want.”

“Okay…”

Blaine rubbed his hands on his jeans.

“Can I kiss you?”

Kurt’s eyes widened a bit before he started looking around in confusion trying to process this new development. Only in a few of his daydreams did Blaine return his feelings. Was this actually happening? Or was some sort of witchcraft at play?

He must’ve nodded his head because Blaine stood up from the swing.

“You’re sure?” he asked, leaning in.

“Yeah.”

Kurt met him halfway. He wants to say it was a perfect first kiss but it wasn’t. No fireworks, nothing like that, and Kurt had no idea what to do with his hands. Would Blaine feel weird if he ran his fingers through his curls? Should Kurt hold his waist?

It was also brief. A few seconds of lips touching. Chaste and sweet but not mind blowing.

“I really like you, Kurt,” Blaine told him. “Are you busy tomorrow?”

“I’m not busy.”

“Have dinner with me?”

“I’d like that.”

Blaine smiled and sat back down on his swing.

“And Blaine,” Kurt said. “I really like you too.”

At school on Monday, Blaine’s first day and Kurt’s first day with a boyfriend, Lauren met Kurt at his locker.

“Heard there’s a new kid.”

“Yeah, there is,” he confirmed.

“Guess I was right after all,” she replied.

Kurt tilted his head, confused.

“There is more than one out gay kid in McKinley. You can thank me for telling Sam the cops were coming later.”

With that, she walked away leaving Kurt staring after her with his jaw open.

“Hey you,” Blaine said, leaning against the lockets. “What’s going on?”

“Lauren Zizes is not a force to be reckoned with, Blaine,” Kurt told him, shutting his locker. “Don’t test her.”

“Noted. Walk me to class?”

“It would be my pleasure.”

If their hands brushed together a little too long as they walked in the hallway, no one said a thing.

Hey beautiful reader!

As an impending shelf exam for my 3rd year medical student surgery rotation draws near, I of course decided to procrastinate.

Some of you may remember I once had a blog named sweetskindreams with my own URL/domain and everything. Well, it was incurring an annual fee and I honestly wasn’t blogging regularly enough to make that worth the money. I also wanted my blog to expand to a lifestyle blog, where it’s not just regarding skincare but also discusses makeup, fashion finds, food, med school woes, relationship updates, etc. As for the decision to opt Tumblr yet again (rather than the more formal Wordpress) - it is because most of my closest friends (cough people who will actually read this cough) are already on Tumblr and can easily be updated via a follow, whereas a formal blog requires a mailing subscription and the idea of my blog posts being e-mailed out to folks seems a bit extra. For how casual I’m treating all of this anyways.

Intro aside, I wanted to kick off this new lifestyle blog with my recent Spring/Summer 2019 beauty hits and misses. Hopefully this will save you some money if you’ve been eyeing any of these products because there are definitely options I would avoid.

Let’s start with the MISSES:

- Touch in Sol No Problem Primer, $18: this was gifted by my roomie, so I really wanted to love it, but I gave it a miss because it still doesn’t beat Benefit’s Pore-fessional (quite frankly, nothing has) for pore minimization purposes and it doesn’t really act well as a primer either. Doesn’t ease foundation application nor prolong anything. It feels silky and nice to apply but I can’t perceive any useful benefits.

- Too Faced Cooling Matte Pore Perfecting Primer, $34: people need to stop labeling things as “pore minimizing” or “pore perfecting” when they do absolutely nothing for the pores. Similar to Touch in Sol, this primer didn’t do anything special to prime the skin or cover up pores. It does feel cooling, and SMELLS AMAZING like much of Too Faced’s products do (a sweet fig scent), but those are secondary perks that don’t mean anything if the primary function is lacking. I also didn’t enjoy the application, which was hard to spread over the skin and knotted up easily. Hard pass.

- Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner, $45: it pains me to put this in the ‘pass’ category but I do so because the effects are not worth the price. Rose petals in the toner make this so beautiful and an addition to my routine I so wanted to incorporate for aesthetics alone, but my skin remained dry only minutes after application. It just can’t justify the hefty price tag.

And now for the FAVS:

- Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer, $54: Ugh. I can’t find a better one. Gifted to me on my b-day by my beautiful friend Liz, I treasure this DEARLY. I’ve known since college how effective this primer is, how flawless the application (very sheer liquid form makes it glide easily over your skin), and yet because it’s been on the pricier side I’ve never actually repurchased. To receive it as a gift is definitely a nod to how well my besties know me and I am so thankful for them. I only use this on special occasions/going out. Hoping I can make this last for a good few months. I have yet to find a better primer, although Laura Mercier is a close second.

- Laneige Berry Lip Sleeping Mask, $20: Again gifted by Liz (WHY DID YOU SPEND SO MUCH ON ME THIS YEAR STOP) and IT IS THE BEST LIP BALM I HAVE EVER USED. And I’ve tried everything from Glossier (overrated) to all the usual drugstore brands (Eos, Baby Lips, Burt’s, Nivea). Nothing beats this. Not to mention it smells/tastes delicious. Laneige kills it with their sleeping mask for skin and the lip one does not disappoint either. Keeps my lips hydrated and doesn’t leave them extra dry after (that’s the main issue with all those other chapsticks, they moisturize for a bit but leave you drier than you started off. This does not have that issue, and is the only thing I’ve ever come across that doesn’t leave me more dried out!) looks glossy too and that’s always a bonus :)

- Missha Magic Cushion Cover, $12 on amazon: ok so... cushion BB creams are my new fav thing. They are so damn easy to apply (literally pat your face for 15 seconds and you have flawless looking coverage) and don’t dry your skin out as much as foundation. Looks super natural too. I can’t rave about these enough. Sure, regular liquid BB creams/tinted moisturizers are also nice and good for summer but those require brushwork or beauty sponge work which both take a couple minutes, whereas the cushions take mere SECONDS. For someone who has to drag her ass to the hospital at 5am, the shorter the routine the better. (AND YOU CAN’T BEAT THIS PRICE TAG! Altho sadly these do only last about a month with daily use)

- Lastly, I received 2 Drunk Elephant samples for my Sephora B-day gift this year. I’m sure y’all have heard of this brand as it is advertised constantly on instagram and has iconically beautiful packaging in bright, fun colors with minimalist designs. The samples I tried were the Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser and the Protini Polypeptide cream. Both are ... phenomenal. Very mild scents, free of all the junk that irritates your skin (mineral oils, silicones, alcohols, etc) and just what my currently cystic acne covered skin needed. (Yes, my acne is back, and I am so bummed about it. Definitely a result of me neglecting skin care when I was studying for Step. I ran out of my prescription retinoid for a couple weeks and sure enough these zits came flying back. Recovery has been slow but there is improvement.) The only caveat to Drunk Elephant products are their prices. Full size Jelly cleanser is $32 and Protini cream $68. Decking yourself out in the Drunk Elephant line will definitely hurt your pockets. But omg... I am seriously contemplating trying their whole line now. It’s not just how beautifully the product wears and how effective it is at what it advertises, but the FREAKING PACKAGING. And I don’t just mean the looking pretty part but more importantly the functional design. Go to Sephora and try the already opened samples yourself and you’ll see what I mean. The Jelly Cleanser cap “twists” (but does not come off) and has a little hole in the center that allows you to squeeze out a tiny dollop of product so you can quickly “twist” it back. And their serums are all in little dispenser bottles. You already know how much I love convenience, and DE makes everything as convenient as possible (and so so clean!)

Hope you enjoyed this review and stay tuned next month for a review of a splurge purchase I made on AmorePacific products. I am especially curious about their Treatment Enzyme Powder to Foam Peels, so will review that later b/c I understand $60 is a lot to drop on something without knowing it will be worth your $. My brother is in Taiwan right now and has been instructed to bring back a hefty haul of sheet masks, eye masks, skin toners/essences/serums galore, so more to come in August. Until then, happy shopping!

xoxo, Amy

eighteen going on extinct 15/20

Kurt Fabray just wants to relax after a tough week at school, but that is shown to be impossible when he realizes that his absent father has once again blown into town. Not wanting to spend more time around him than necessary, Kurt goes to his old babysitters house, the one place he feels safe when his father is in town. While there, he stumbles upon a secret he knows he was never meant to find out - one that could change the entire course of his life.

An AU very loosely based on Mamma Mia.

Hope everyone is gearing up for an awesome weekend!! Thanks so much for all your comments and likes and kudos and reblogs <3 I’m sorry I’m so shit at answering them all, but know that I read each and every one and that I love them all!

Minor warning for Puck basically being Puck here haha hope you enjoy <3

Previous Chapter | Read on AO3

The crumpled paper falls from Finn’s hand. He glances between Kurt, Rachel, and Quinn. He looks like he’s about to cry, and it makes Kurt want to burst into tears all over again.

“I don’t understand,” he says. “It doesn’t make any sense. If Puck isn’t the father, then it has to be me, right? I can’t – this doesn’t make any sense.”

“Yes, it does,” Quinn says, her voice hollow. She doesn’t look up at any of them, picking at a loose thread in her jeans. “I knew that would be the result as soon as Kurt said Puck wasn’t his father.”

“I don’t get it,” Finn says, picking the paper up again. “How? If I’m not the father, and Puck isn’t the father, then who—”

“Burt Hummel,” Kurt says, his voice as hollow as his mother’s.

His mother looks up at him, quick as a whip, her eyes wide and watery.

“That’s it, right?” Kurt asks. “He’s my dad. There’s nobody else it could be. You said you were cheating with Puck and on Puck at the same time, so if it isn’t Finn and it isn’t Puck, then it has to be Burt Hummel.”

His mother’s eyes shut tight and she nods once, the motion clearly painful. “I’m so sorry.”

Kurt stands up, hands going to his stomach. “I think I need to lay down for a while,” he says, stepping away from the sitting adults. “I need to… not be here. For a little bit.”

“Kurt, please,” his mom stands up, too, but Kurt moves fast, heading out of the living room and jogging all the way up to his room. He shuts the door tight, leaning his back against it. He breathes in deeply, then exhales, trying to calm his beating heart.

His phone vibrates in his pocket, and he pulls it out without thinking.

From: Bowtie Blaine

Hey, what happened to texting me on the bus? I had to listen to Santana Lopez talk about lacrosse players throwing up on each other for the entire ride :(

Kurt locks his phone up, then places it on his side table before falling on his bed face first.

Burt Hummel.

His father is Burt Hummel.

Blaine’s foster father is Kurt’s actual father.

At least it isn’t Puck, his subconscious whispers. Kurt groans and turns onto his side, slipping under the covers and wrapping them tightly around himself.

If only that made any of this better.

It’s hours before Finn knocks on his door, peeking his head in when Kurt says nothing.

“Hey, Kurt,” he says, voice soft. “I, uh. I know this isn’t what either of us wanted, but I want you to know that I meant what I said.” He walks toward Kurt’s bed and settles down in it, placing a hand on Kurt’s calf through the blanket. “You’re my son, okay? I’ve always seen you as my son, and so has Rachel. This test changes nothing.”

“It does, though,” Kurt says, feeling empty. “It changes everything.”

“Not to me,” Finn says. He stands back up, and then, to Kurt’s surprise, leans down and presses a kiss to the top of his head. “Sleep well, okay Kurt?”

“Yeah,” Kurt says, wrapping himself tighter in the blankets. “You, too.”

Halfway through the night, Kurt is woken up by the sound of his door opening. He turns over in his bed, sitting up slightly, but stops when a small hand rests on his shoulder and presses him back into the mattress.

“Shh, it’s okay, baby,” Kurt’s eyes are still mostly shut, so he doesn’t see her, but he could swear that was his mom’s voice. Which is weird, because he’s pretty sure that she’d left hours ago. “Go back to sleep.”

“Mom?” he asks, just to be sure.

Soft lips connect gently with his forehead. He sighs, settling further into the mattress, suddenly feeling all of five years old again.

“I love you,” she whispers into his skin. “And I’m so, so sorry.”

She’s gone before he has the chance to answer, and by the time his door has clicked shut again, he’s already asleep.

He almost skips school the next day. He wants nothing more than to skip school. Really, all he wants to do all day is lie in bed, wrapped in blankets, and pretending the rest of the world doesn’t exist.

He can’t keep avoiding his problems, though. His mom made that more than clear the day before. So, he gets out of bed, forces himself to get dressed, and lets Rachel drive him to school.

“I know this must be tough,” Rachel says as they drive. “Not getting the result you were expecting.”

“Tough is one way to put it,” Kurt says, fiddling with his nose ring.

“I’m proud of you for going to school today,” she says. “For, you know. Facing Blaine.”

“Yeah, well, obviously avoiding my problems just makes people force me into a confrontation, so what’s the point.”

She side-eyes him a little, then says, “Well, regardless of your motivation, I still think it’s healthy. The sooner you act like everything is normal, the sooner things will go back to normal.”

“I don’t want to sound dramatic,” Kurt says, letting his head fall against the window, “but I don’t even know what the word normal means anymore.”

“Okay, well, something resembling normal,” she says. “Now that you know Puck isn’t your father—”

“You know, that’s the thing,” Kurt says, sitting back up. “That’s the fucking thing. I had this idea in my head that I would get those results, see Puck wasn’t my father, and he’d just magically vanish from my life. Like, he’d just pack it up and leave, or mom would finally come to her senses and kick him out, but no. He’s still there. He’s still living in my home. So, really, what did it change?” He shakes his head. “Not a fucking thing.”

“That’s not why you did this, Kurt,” Rachel says. “You told us when you asked for us to pay for this that the reason you did it was for peace of mind.”

“Well, I got none, so there you go,” Kurt shakes his head. “Sorry you wasted your money.”

“I’m not,” Rachel says. “The only result that really matters to me is that Puck isn’t your father. As far as I’m concerned, that means Finn is. End of discussion.”

“Except not really, because my actual father is currently fostering the guy I have a massive crush on,” Kurt says. “So, no, not end of discussion. This actually makes things even more goddamn complicated than before. Oh, and bonus fun news, mom still hasn’t told me jack shit about Burt Hummel and their relationship, because she couldn’t even be bothered to come and say goodnight to me before she left last night.”

“That’s because she didn’t leave,” Rachel says.

Kurt turns to her slowly, tilting his head in confusion. “What?”

“She slept on the couch,” Rachel says. “She only left early this morning, to go to her shift. I thought I saw her sneaking in your room to say goodbye, but maybe not.”

“Oh,” Kurt says. A memory slips into his mind, of forehead kisses and soft ‘I love you’s’. “Oh,” he repeats. “I thought I’d dreamt…” He shakes his head. “It doesn’t matter. She still could have said goodnight the night before, not goodbye when I was half asleep.”

“Yeah, she could have,” Rachel says. She glances at Kurt, then says, “This is hard on her, too, you know.”

Kurt snorts. “Must be devastating finding out the only reason the man you love stays with you is a lie.”

“I don’t think that’s it,” Rachel says. “From what I heard yesterday, I kind of get the idea that she’s always known, she just refused to accept it.”

“That doesn’t make it any better,” Kurt says shortly.

“I know, but still. She’s being forced to confront something she’s lied to herself about for almost eighteen years. Can’t be easy.”

“Well, finding out my father is actually a man I barely know and acting as a father to the guy I want to date hasn’t exactly been a picnic either, so maybe she and I could form a club.”

“I don’t think you’re really being fair to your mother, Kurt,” Rachel says.

“She wasn’t being fair to me,” Kurt says. “She purposefully never mentioned Burt Hummel to me, and now I’m finding out that she’s always known that man was my father? What sort of bullshit is that?!”

“Hey, that’s just my theory,” Rachel says. “Don’t let me put words in your mother’s mouth.”

“Whatever,” Kurt says. “It’s just all bullshit. I thought that paternity test would make things better, but it’s just made things a thousand times more complicated,” he shakes his head and crosses his arms. “I shouldn’t have asked you to do it.”

Rachel doesn’t answer, and they spend the rest of the drive in silence.

Blaine is waiting for Kurt on the steps of the school, and the sight of him makes Kurt’s heart sink.

How can he possibly tell Blaine about all this? How can he go to a boy who has never had a real family, and tell him that the closest thing he’s ever had to a father is actually Kurt’s own dad?

He can practically see the heartbreak on Blaine’s face when he tells him.

Fuck, he can’t. He just can’t.

“Hey,” Blaine greets him with an easy smile, seemingly unaware of Kurt’s terrible mood. “I have good news for you.”

“I could use some of that,” Kurt mumbles. “What is it?”

“Puck’s bike is done!” Blaine says. “Burt says you can come get it after school, if you want. He’ll keep the garage open until six if you need him to.”

“Fuck,” Kurt groans. “I totally forgot about the fucking bike. God, Puck is going to deck me when he sees me.”

“What?!” Blaine practically shouts.

Kurt shakes his head. “Never mind. You’re right, this is good news. Maybe the asshole will finally leave once he has his precious baby back. I’ll just text my mom and tell her to meet me at the garage with Puck sometime before six.”

“Great,” Blaine grins. Kurt really wishes he could steal a bit of Blaine’s good mood. “I’ll tell Burt to keep the shop open.”

“Cool,” Kurt nods.

Christ.

As if things weren’t enough of a goddamn mess.

Finn ends up being held up after class, and Rachel has an impromptu but important Skype meeting about Wicked, and so Kurt ends up taking the bus with Blaine to the garage.

“Okay, seriously,” Blaine says as soon as they’re on the bus. “What is your deal today? I’ve been trying to go with a different tactic from the usual calling you out thing, but sheesh. Seems like I shouldn’t mess with what I know, huh?”

“Nothing,” Kurt says. “Just woke up on the wrong side of the bed, I guess.”

“No kidding,” Blaine shakes his head. “I thought you’d be happy about the bike. You know, you don’t owe Puck anything anymore. And when the paternity test comes in, then you really won’t owe him anything.”

“Yeah,” Kurt slumps further in his seat. “When the paternity test comes in,” he frowns. “You know, lately I haven’t had that great of a feeling about it.”

“What? Last I checked you were practically dying to get the results. What the hell happened?!”

“My mom came by last night,” Kurt admits, the one thing he knows he can actually talk to Blaine about. “Confronted me about ignoring her. We had a huge fight.”

“Oh, Kurt,” Blaine puts a hand on his shoulder. “Is that why you’re in such a bad mood?”

It feels like nothing compared to what I found out after. “Yeah.”

“I’m so sorry,” Blaine says. “If I had known…”

“It doesn’t matter. I shouldn’t be letting my bad mood drag you down. I ruined your day.”

Blaine smirks. “You don’t have that much control over my mood, you know.”

“Of course not,” Kurt says. “Fuck, I’m just a fucking moron today,” he lets his head fall back against the bus seat, and groans at how hard his skull hits the metal bar. “Shit,” he grumbles.

“No, I’m – I’m sorry, Kurt. I’m trying to like, alleviate the tension or something, I don’t know. Clearly it’s not working. I promise you didn’t ruin my day though, okay?” He chews on his lip for a moment, then says, “Actually, seeing you could never ruin my day.”

“Stop,” Kurt shakes his head. “I told you, we can’t do that anymore.”

“Because we’re best friends, sheesh, Kurt.”

“You know, you just said ‘sheesh’ unironically twice in a row. You’re officially a prep.”

“I thought I had to be rich to be a prep.”

Kurt smiles, letting himself fall into Blaine’s distraction methods. “You’re not rich? Then what are we even doing here?”

Blaine grins and leans his head on Kurt’s shoulder. “There he is,” he whispers.

“Yeah,” Kurt whispers back. “Here I am.”

They get off the bus together, and Kurt lets Blaine lead the way. He groans when they get close enough that he can see his mom and Puck waiting for them outside the garage.

“Christ,” Kurt says. “You’d think knowing this was coming all day long would have prepared me to see him, but no. I still feel like I’m going to throw up.”

“Don’t worry,” Blaine says, slipping his hand into Kurt’s easily. “I won’t let him do anything.”

There are a thousand things Kurt could say to that, ranging from ‘how on earth will you stop him he is quite literally twice your size’ to ‘please never let go of my hand ever,’ but nothing feels right. Instead, he just squeezes Blaine’s hand, takes a deep breath, and puts on the bravest face he can.

“Hey,” he says when he gets close enough. “You didn’t have to wait for me, you know. I already paid for my part.”

His mom looks like she hasn’t slept in days. Puck just glances down at where Kurt and Blaine are holding hands and rolls his eyes.

“Whatever, let’s just get this over with. The less time I have to be around here, the better.”

Burt Hummel is sitting behind the desk when they walk in, and Kurt’s heart jumps in his throat at the sight of him.

That’s his father.

It feels like a punch to the gut. He’s staring at his father. The man standing in front of him is his goddamn father.

And yet all of Kurt’s feelings toward him are still based entirely on the man’s relationship with Blaine.

He feels like he’s stepped outside of his body. Like everything is happening around him, not to him. Like he’s watching himself watch Burt, watching himself trying to feel that connection between them and coming up short.

Like he’s watching himself fall apart.

“Hey guys,” Burt greets Kurt and Blaine first, and then he turns to Kurt’s mom and says, “Quinn Fabray, as I live and breathe.”

He stands up and goes as though to hug her, but Puck gets in his way. “You come any closer, you won’t be doing either of those things.”

Burt raises an eyebrow and looks Puck over. “Noah, right?” he asks. “Charming as ever. Come on, I’ll show you the bike.”

He walks ahead of them. Quinn pulls Puck close and mutters a quiet, “Be nice.”

“Fuck that,” Puck whispers back. “Good for nothing punk. I can tell he still wants to fuck you.”

“Can you please be a fucking adult for one goddamn second of your—”

She’s cut off by Burt arriving with the bike. He starts to rattle off some technical mumbo-jumbo about what he fixed and how he fixed it that goes right over Kurt’s head. He’s focused instead on the way his mother is carrying herself. She’s making a clear effort not to make any bodily contact with Puck, arms wrapped around herself and continuously shifting her weight so she ends up further away from him.

Puck, on the other hand, looks like he could blow a gasket at any moment. Kurt has no idea if it’s because Quinn told him the truth, or because he’s just a jealous ass who still acts like a teenager.

“—including the new parts, it’ll come to about $1,500.”

“Whoa, what?!” Puck shouts, bringing Kurt back to reality. “What the fuck?! $1,500 to replace a couple of panels?!”

“This is a really expensive motorcycle, Mr. Puckerman,” Burt says. “The parts alone cost—”

“That’s insane. No, fuck no. I’m not fucking paying that.”

“Well, Kurt already paid his part, so—”

“So it should be cheaper,” Puck shouts. “You’re seriously telling me this broke asshole paid you $1,500? You think he’s got that kind of money lying around?!”

“Hey,” Quinn says. “Kurt works hard. He worked long hours this summer, and he’s good at saving. The $1,500 probably hurt him more than it’s going to hurt you.”

Kurt’s head is spinning, and he wants to cut in and ask what the fuck is happening, because he didn’t pay $1,500, Puck is right, he never could have paid $1,500, but…

But his mom glances at him and shakes her head. He looks up at Burt and the man sends him a covert wink.

Oh.

“This is bullshit,” Puck says. “You really think I’m just going to fork over almost two grand? No way.”

“Then I’m sorry, but I can’t release the bike back to you.”

“That’s theft, you piece of shit.”

Burt shrugs. “So is you trying to make off with parts that I paid for.”

Puck grumbles to himself, glaring between Burt, Quinn, and Kurt. Kurt is pretty sure that he’s trying to decide whether he should punch Burt in the face.

“You know what?” Puck finally shouts. “Fine. Fine! I’ll pay you your stupid goddamn overpriced—”

“Great,” Burt says. “Right this way.”

Puck ends up having to use three different credit cards to cover the payment. Kurt would love to know how the hell he got three credit cards approved, but decides it’s better not to know, as the answer is probably something illegal.

Puck grumbles under his breath the entire transaction, swearing loudly every time he has to switch a credit card.

Blaine stands beside Kurt the whole time, hand never leaving Kurt’s.

Finally, the payment is completed, and Puck hops on his bike and speeds away. Quinn watches him go, letting out a heavy breath that looks something shockingly similar to relief.

“Well, thank you,” Quinn says to Burt. “For fixing his bike.”

“Hey, no problem. It’s kind of my job.”

“Right,” she nods. “Well, I should go. I doubt he remembered his key, so he’ll probably be wanting to get into the apartment as soon as he gets there.”

Burt nods slowly. “Of course. But, hey, Quinn, I’d love to catch up sometime. You know, since our boys are such good—” he glances over to where Kurt and Blaine are still holding hands. He raises an eyebrow and then says, “Friends.”

“Sure,” Quinn says. “Kurt can give you my number sometime.”

“Or you could just—”

“Okay, I’m going to go,” Quinn says. She turns to Kurt and presses a kiss to his cheek. “Please come home soon,” she whispers. “I miss you so much.”

“I miss you, too,” Kurt says, though keeps mum on the plea of returning. She knows as well as he does that he will not be moving back in to that apartment until Puck is officially moved out.

She kisses his cheek again, then heads to where her car is parked at the front of the garage, getting in without a look back.

“You sure you two are mad at each other?” Blaine asks as she leaves.

Kurt sighs, then replies with, “It’s complicated.” He looks down to his hand, fingers intertwined with Blaine’s. “I should probably go, too.” He says. “I feel so, just… emotionally drained.”

“Don’t blame you,” Burt cuts in, and Kurt turns to him, surprised that he’s still standing there. He’s giving Blaine a strange look, almost considering, but then he turns to Kurt and says, “But hey, before you go, can you answer me one question?” Kurt shrugs, so Burt asks, “How the literal hell is your mother still with that asshole after all these years?”

“Whoa!” Blaine exclaims.

“Oh, like you weren’t thinking it,” Burt replies. Blaine blushes and looks away. “Yeah, that’s what I thought. Seriously, Kurt. Why is she still with him?”

“You know, Burt,” Kurt says, the man’s name feeling so strange on his tongue now. “I legitimately have no idea.”

“Fucking dick,” Burt grumbles, shaking his head. “Guy like that has no reason to hang around a girl like her, taking advantage. Son of a bitch.”

“Calm down there, sailor,” Blaine says.

“Yeah, yeah, I know you hate the swearing,” Burt says. “No idea how you hang around this one so much, then,” he points at Kurt.

Blaine huffs. “That’s different. He’s not my fa—”

He stops himself, entire face turning bright red. Kurt can see a smile beginning to light up Burt’s face, and suddenly feels like he’s imposing on a really private and personal moment between the two men.

“It’s just different, that’s all,” Blaine finishes, face even redder than before.

“Right,” Burt says, full-out grinning now. “I’ll try to keep it in check from now on, okay?”

“Thank you,” Blaine mumbles, looking firmly at the ground.

“Right, well, anyway,” Kurt says, a little too loudly. “I should get going. Finn should be back from school by now, and he’ll want to know every last detail about this shit show.”

“Of course,” Burt says. “Hey, you want a ride? I’m supposed to be closed by now anyway.”

“No, it’s okay,” Kurt says. “Thanks for staying open late for us, though.”

“My pleasure,” Burt says. “I’m just glad you don’t have to worry about this anymore, son.”

Kurt’s heart sinks to the pit of his stomach at that word.

He shouldn’t feel this way, right? Every time Finn had called him son in the past, his heart always leapt in his chest. He felt a joy at hearing that word from Finn, but now with Burt, his actual father…

“Me too,” he replies, hoping not to reveal any of his inner turmoil. “Anyway. I’m going to go.”

Blaine finally lets go of his hand, but only to wrap him up in a hug. “Text me when you get to Finn and Rachel’s, okay?” he asks.

Kurt nods against his neck, then pulls away. “I promise,” he says.

“See you around, kid,” Burt says, patting him on the shoulder.

Kurt heads out at that, shoving his hands into the pockets of his jacket.

Before he leaves the garage, he turns one last time. He doesn’t know what he hopes to see; maybe Blaine staring at him longingly?

Instead what he sees is Burt smiling down at Blaine, a hand on his shoulder, the joy Kurt wishes he felt at seeing Burt shining in his eyes and reflected in Blaine’s.

Despite everything, he smiles. He knows everything is a goddamn mess, but right now he can be happy for Blaine. Right now, he can ignore the fact that his mere existence may ruin whatever budding father-son relationship Burt and Blaine may have. Right now, all that matters is that Blaine looks happier than Kurt thinks he’s ever seen him.

Hey sweetie, for the ranking meme, would you please rank the Christmas episodes? Thank you! Hugs, Marjan

4) Glee Actually - Okay so I appreciate what they were going for here, with the different stories and whatnot, but most of it just falls flat for me. Parts of Artie’s dream were entertaining enough, I liked Puck and Jake singing their Hanukkah song, and everyone singing Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas at the end. But this one contains my least favorite Klaine duet, so that knocks points off. Also Brittany and Sam think the world is ending so they get married or whatever. Also Burt has cancer so… I’ll pass.

3) Previously Unaired Christmas - This episode probably only ranks higher because I don’t remember it as much tbh. Okay so I mostly know all the Kurtcheltana stuff that’s going on in NY. They’re all dressed up like elves and then Santana is Mrs. Claus and then they sing some good songs. I even like when they do the chipmunk song tbh. I just think it’s goofy and cute and fun and I don’t take it too seriously so I don’t mind it. And then at the end they sing the song where they’re like the living window display and they all look so pretty. Meanwhile in Lima I think there’s something about a Christmas tree and who’s gonna play Virgin Mary and… yeah

2) A Very Glee Christmas - Okay so this one has Klaine’s iconic first duet, and no Christmas song or other duet will ever top BICO. I do love the other songs in it tho. Even if they only sing like one line of WNALC. Don’t care for anything about Sue being the Grinch. I do love Finchel’s version of Last Christmas but I don’t give a rat’s patootie what was going on with them relationship wise that made them sing it. It gets bonus points for the storyline where Brittany believes in Santa bc that was one of the few “plots” she had on the show lol. Idk I think I just love the songs in this one but don’t care too much for the episode as a whole :P

1) Extraordinary Merry Christmas - Rory and Blue Christmas was the lowest point in the ep and nearly bored me to tears (for once I agree with Santana wholeheartedly- I might actually be dead right now) but the rest episode is great. I can look past Rachel’s insufferable diva-ness and her boring song as well. Rachel’s always insufferable and ugly crying her way through emotional solos so why let it bother me when it’s Christmas?? I looove all the other songs in the ep and listen to them on repeat around this time of year. My only complaint is that two of the best scenes (Blaine giving Kurt the ring & Santana singing Santa Baby) were cut for time. Like come on. We can have ten scenes of Rachel bitching about pigs and jewelry to Finn but this is what you choose to cut?? Alright. Anyway I think this is the only Christmas ep that’s like actually in my top 10-15 episodes from the show overall. I just love it so much

ask me stuff!

Season 1 Wrap Up Thoughts (Part 1)

I guess I just wanted to take some time after each season and reflect on it as a whole. And, as always, I have lots of opinions on things.

Today I’m going to post my rankings of the episode -- tomorrow I’ll post my thoughts on various different story arcs. :)

Rankings:

I thought it’d be interesting to rank the season after I finish up to see how it differs from my big rankings that I did last year. (No - I’m not going to redo the full rankings list - it was tiring enough the first time around.) But it’s interesting to see how things can change when I’m watching it in its entirety one at a time. The thing that stands out to me the most, I suppose, is that I like the show as a whole better when I do it this way -- opposed to binge watching where I get sick of things I don’t like quicker.

So - ranking season 1 from least favorite on up.

22 - The Rhodes Not Taken (1x05): Looking through all my notes, this episode I had the hardest time sitting through. It’s, like, 90% April Rhodes , and Will clearly not knowing how to be a teacher, with included music that doesn’t keep me interested enough. Boring seems to be more of an issue than bad in this season.

21 - Acafellas (1x03): Well, this was original least favorite episode from season 1, but I’m bumping it up a little. The whole Acafellas part - where Will leaves teaching for the second time in three episodes to start a wanna be boy band is still probably my least favorite single episode story out of season 1, but Kurt and Mercedes deserve better than being last - and at least this episode isn’t boring.

20 - Mash Off (1x08): This is another episode that just doesn’t have a lot of interesting things going for it. It’s mostly about the Will/Terri/Emma/Ken love triangle and the lack of interesting things going on during this episode just makes it drag. Not helping it is the fact that it’s the last one before we get to Wheels - and a much more kid focused show and I’m, like, chomping at the bit to go on. Also not helping it is a not so great selection of songs.

19 - Hairography (1x11): This is another episode that I often struggle with because I feel like the main plot lines in the episode drag. But it’s got the beginning of Hummelberry and some decent songs to save it from being at the very bottom.

18 - Vitamin D (1x06): Everyone always remembers the fun part of the episode - where the kids are all high on Vitamin D - and I agree, that’s a fun and fantastic and it’s why it’s higher than the rest of the episodes on the list, but it’s also only a small part of the episode. Most of this episode is dedicated to Will and Terri’s martial issues, which include a five minute Ken/Terri scene that no one really needed.

17 - Funk (1x21): People really hate this episode. I get it - I’d categorize it more ‘bad’ than ‘boring’ -- but I can tolerate this rather bad episode albeit rather entertaining episode more than struggling through things I can’t keep focused on. And really - I don’t even think it’s that bad until the Will/Sue Feud takes a turn into -- oh gross, don’t do that...

16 - Hello (1x14): The Back 9 kicks off with a solid, fast-paced story with essentially two story lines. The problem isn’t even that I don’t care about Wemma or Finchel (cause I really don’t) it’s the fact that both Will and Finn are major douchebags in the episode in the name of plot, which makes them both kinda annoying to watch. I don’t think it’s a bad episode. I just get annoyed people’s actions. Bonus points for Jesse St. James though.

15 - Mattress (1x12): The episode is pretty solid, even if there are some weird tonal shifts in it. It does what it needs to, moving the plots into the final episode of the Front 13. It’s not bad, and it’s not even boring, but it’s just kind of there.

14 - Throwdown (1x07): This episode may be about the Will and Sue feud, but it’s pretty entertaining, and has some good music in it. There are some minor issues, and I don’t think it stands up that well to subsequent viewings, but it’s more fun than a lot of the other early S1 episodes.

13 - Showmance (1x02): I can never remember much about what happens in this episode. But it’s not bad at all -- more so a continuation of the pilot if anything. The comedy is really the thing that really does a lot for this episode, because the plot focus of Wemma and Finchel really don’t hold my attention.

12 - Pilot (1x01): I’m never quite sure what to do with the Pilot when doing things like rankings. On the one hand - it’s a fantastic pilot, it’s incredibly funny and Don’t Stop Believin’ is very moving. On the other hand, all the characters I care about, save maybe Rachel, are not developed or don’t even exist yet. The conflict of these things always sets it right in the middle for me.

11 - Dream On (1x19): In terms of all around good TV as a way of art, I think Dream On is fantastic. It’s plots are solid and entertaining. The music is amazing. Neil Patrick Harris shines as a guest star. And yet -- I just don’t care enough about what’s going on in this episode. In terms of best episode on an objective scale of TV making - this would be number one. However, I just don’t care enough. I’m sorry!

10 - Preggers (1x04): This is another one of those episodes I feel like is remembered for one thing, while everything else is forgotten. Kurt, his dad, and all that development is a fantastic story that deserves great praise. But a majority of this episode is dedicated to Will and Finn dealing with pregnant significant others being pregnant and it just doesn’t hold my attention the way other episodes do. Unlike Acafellas, though, there’s nothing bad in the episode, however.

9 - Journey to Regionals (1x22): I’ve said it before, and probably say it until y’all are sick of it, but Glee doesn’t have the greatest track record with their season finales. This one works just fine, wrapping up the season’s plot lines nicely, having good music, and being entertaining as one might expect. But the main plots are usually not the ones I’m here for, so my engagement level just isn’t as high.

8 - Ballad (1x10): It’s funny - I used to really hate this episode, but it’s grown a lot on me. The episode’s solid, the Kurt/Finn stuff is great, and while I’m not a huge fan of the Rachel’s crush on Will thing - it holds up pretty decently.

7 - Sectionals (1x13): I think this episode is incredibly engaging the first time around. Illogical, and not really holding up on subsequent viewings hurts it a little, but I still think it’s a great way to cap off the first arc of the show, and has some strong emotional moments throughout. I mean - I even cared for Wemma for a half second in there.

6 - Wheels (1x09): This is the first time the show really focuses in on the kids’ stories, and it really works pretty well. The stories are all really engaging, the minor characters all get more development, and it’s the introduction to Becky Jackson. But of course - it’s way up high for the iconic diva-off between Rachel and Kurt that really sets this one apart.

5 - Bad Reputation (1x17): This episode is really, truly pretty darn funny. It’s a great use of music, a nice little mystery throughout, and gives everyone something to do. I love it - and often think it’s a pretty underrated episode.

4 - Theatricality (1x20): What?!? Yeah - most people tend to like this episode more than I do. But hey, it’s 4, that’s pretty good on my list ;) The Shelby/Rachel stuff brings it down for me. Eh. But everything else is pretty spectacular -- even the questionable use of Lady Gaga music. Oh- and the fact that it’s the wrap up of Kurt’s season 1 story arc in an incredibly meaningful and moving way really seals the deal on this one for me. Bonus - Lady Gaga costumes.

3 - The Power of Madonna (1x15): For an episode focusing on Sue of all people, I really do enjoy this episode. It’s mostly Madonna music, sure, but I’m incredibly entertained every time I get to it. It’s very funny, the music is amazing, and there are just a lot of great things going for it.

2 - Home (1x16): The five minute Will/April song makes the episode drag for a hot second. But outside of that - I love this episode. It’s amazing, and every time I go back to it I’m always blown away by how much I really love it. The Kurt-Finn/Burt-Carole stuff is so amazing and it just blows me away. I have so much love for this emotionally heavy episode.

1 - Laryngitis (1x18): After rewatching season 1, this episode still holds up as my favorite. Yes, I know the quadriplegic story is iffy at best - I get that. But I’m kinda letting that slide since I love everything else that goes on in this story (yes, even the kinda silly Mercedes/Puck stuff.) Kurt’s amazing in this episode, and I love everything about it - from dressing up as his dad, to dating Brittany, to becoming himself again in song. This episode is amazing and truly my favorite from season one.

My biggest takeaway from this is that Season 1 holds up as a really solid season of television -- it’s a great comedy, the music is fun, and Kurt’s story arc, in a shocking surprise, is still my favorite. But that’s kind of an objective opinion. While I’ll get into it more tomorrow - The Front 13, while being entertaining on a weekly bases, just doesn’t hold my attention anymore, while the Back 9 blossoms into what I love about the show. I also have a hard time with boring - and the Front 13′s slower pace, and focus on stories I don’t necessarily care about is what hurts it for me on subsequent reviewings.

So there ya go - more on the specific arcs tomorrow. :)
