BBB Update - 3/2/20

Hey everyone!! Hope you’ve been enjoying the BBB fics from our talented authors and artists!

There are still two fics coming your way! Very unfortunately, both authors suffered some fairly traumatic medical emergencies in February, and I don’t want either of them having to worry about jumping on here to post until they feel totally able to do so.

So bear with us for another week or so, and you’ll be getting:

Love, Blaine and A Very Seblaine Christmas

Thanks so much for your patience, and for reading!!

MANY THANKS to my wonderful Beta @merengs: You (and your fic) are amazing! Thanks for putting up me

Title: The Dalton Military Academy Warblers Author: @julia3132

I love all things Warblers. Julia mentioned that she referenced Ed Sheeran’s Castle On the Hill. I took inspiration from the video for the art style and the group of friends playing pool. Since Julia didn’t want military uniforms I tried to combined a military style sweater with the Warbler’s causal blue sweaters.

Thanks to @blainebigbang for organizing this bang to give a bunch of new content. And special thanks to Julia for writing this fic. Everybody go read and reblog!!!

“Is There a Twelve Step Just For You?” by @romanticsanders aka Thenameisbritney

He was still the same short, nerdy Blaine Anderson he’d always been. An easy target for school bullies everywhere. Kurt was the popular co-captain of the Cheerio’s, looking down on his kingdom like a fair but firm ruler. No one was on his level, certainly not a peasant like Blaine.

Or Blaine tries to tell Kurt that he has a crush on him but accidentally ends up asking for a makeover instead. Oh, dear.

“Blaine, you have customers!”

Blaine sighed and slipped his phone back into his pocket, brushing off his apron and adjusting his ridiculous visor. He’d gotten a job at Angus’ Ice Cream thinking it would be simple, eating free ice cream and serving the occasional customer, but instead it had been grueling. 

Hours stuck behind the surprisingly warm refrigerator made him overheat and sweat and scooping the ice cream had given him aches and cramps up and down his arms and hands. Nevertheless, Blaine was getting paid well and Angus gave him two breaks a day. There were definitely worse places he could be spending the summer before his junior year. 

As he walked out of the back room to take his place at the counter, he heard a familiar voice that made his stomach drop to his feet.

xhorizon and I collaborated on a project for the Blaine Big Bang 2020. Glee was my first fandom, and I never got the chance to contribute to it so this was fun. She wrote this awesome story, and I created these three illustrations for it.

Summary:

Blaine had the perfect life – He was married to the man of his dreams, they lived with their best friend in the greatest city in the world, and he had everything he had ever dreamed of. Never mind the crippling depression and anxiety he dealt with each day he failed to book a job, and the lack of happiness he had in his marriage. One night, everything gets turned upside down and everything Blaine thought he knew was gone. How will he manage to pick up the pieces and try to make sense of his life again?

Title: broken glass sparkling Author: merengs Beta: @jammie3132 Artist:  @purpleyin (who was amazing and created a moodboard for every single chapter. Check everything they’ve done here!) Word Count: 25011 Rating: NC-17 Pairing: Blaine Anderson / Sebastian Smythe (Seblaine) Summary: A year abroad. A chance to get away, put on hold all the issues he still needs to resolve and maybe find the bits of himself he thinks he’s lost. So Blaine takes it. Notes: Okay, this is it. I want to thank @blainebigbang​ for organizing everything and giving me the perfect excuse to write something for my favorite pairing back from when I was a teen. It’s been a long ride, but we’re here. 

Snippet:

He blinks twice when he comes into the kitchen. He can’t be sure it wasn’t a product of his sleep-deprived brain; maybe that is what happens when your jet lag doesn’t go away for two weeks, you start hallucinating. But the loud thud of a door closing lingers in the air and he feels too exhausted to be making up naked men walking around his apartment, so he makes peace with the bare ass he’s just seen entering his roommates bedroom.

Blaine shakes his head, turns the coffee maker on and wonders if perhaps he’s doing this all wrong.

Prologue

Kurt lightly sways the leg he has crossed over the other under the table as he drums his fingers on the tabletop. The coffee shop is only moderately busy on this Saturday afternoon and Kurt is grateful for the relative quiet.

His nerves have been frayed all day. He could barely focus in class, to the point where his statistics professor had asked him to stay after class to make sure everything was okay. It was a mortifying conversation to have, even though it was sort of nice to know his professor cared that much about one of his students.

“You seemed distracted today.” His professor had said as he packed up his bag at the front of the slowly emptying room.

Kurt had sighed, “Yeah, sorry, I’ve just had a lot on my mind lately.”

His professor had nodded, “College is a stressful time, for sure. Do you have someone you can talk to?”

Kurt had nodded quickly, “I do. Thanks. Really. I’m okay.” He assured.

“Okay. I just wanted to make sure. Take care of yourself, Kurt.” His professor had said with a sympathetic smile.

Kurt muses, as he wraps a hand around his coffee, that his third year of college is a lot different than his first. In his first year at NYU, at just eighteen, he had been just a nameless face in a crowded lecture hall. He had been nothing more than a number to his professors. He can’t help but feel like the concern of a professor would have been better placed then than now. Now Kurt’s problems have less to do with school.

Though back then his biggest problems didn’t have a whole lot to do with school either…

The bell above the door to the coffee shop chimes and Kurt is pulled from his thoughts to turn in its direction. He smiles at the person coming through the door and lifts a hand in a wave.

Title: In Repair

Author: Sam @room108

I decided we needed more art for this amazing seblaine fic!! Hopefully  @room108 won’t mind!

Summary: In the wake of his most recent break-up with Kurt, Blaine returns home to Lima to lick his wounds and reclaim some measure of happiness. An unexpected opportunity to travel to Thailand with former friend (and sometimes nemesis) Sebastian Smythe, proves to be just the salve he needs. As their bond strengthens through the ups and downs of life on the road, Sebastian and Blaine revisit their lingering spark from high school and decide whether it’s worth re-igniting or if it will be snuffed out for good.
