MQ's 2025 Fanfic Round-Up

It's been nearly ten years since I last did one of these annual posts! Returning to writing in July 2025, after 8 years of absence, was one of the year's biggest personal wins for me. It's still slow and difficult atm. I'm wrangling a fair bit of mental fatigue along with the more general issue of recovering a neglected skill, but the challenge makes the process all the sweeter! Writing remains my favorite thing to do with my brain.

The fic this year was a couple overdue updates for Nights of Hedonia, some languishing drafts completed, a couple snippets, and a handful of new stories including a WIP for Klaine Secret Santa, the completion of which is my top priority going into 2026.

All up, according to AO3, I shared 54,975 words of stories. \o/ Achievement! Massive gratitude to everyone who's chosen to spend time with my work. It's such a gift.🫶

Canon Set Fics

⦿ The Rubble or Our Sins [WIP][klaine secret santa 2025] Kurt/Blaine | M | Canon Divergent Fix-it set during the S5 summer | drama, fluff, angst, romance, communication Vignettes of Kurt and Blaine's relationship as they learn how to live and love together in New York. Or, how Kurt and Blaine avoid a second break-up.

⦿ Stitched Up Tight (Can't Shake Free) [TAoL 'verse] Kurt/Blaine | T | 2x18 | new relationship, making out, anxiety, communication It's the first time Kurt goes to Blaine's house, the first time he sees Blaine's bedroom, and the first time they make out in complete privacy.

⦿ And All the Love in the World [TAoL 'verse] Kurt/Blaine | E | 3x17 coda | intimacy, communication, makeup sex, etc. After school in Blaine's bedroom, Kurt and Blaine say the things they couldn't in Emma's office, and discover the wonders of make-up sex. It sure does feel like healing. Right?

⦿ Come Up and See Me [TAoL 'verse][gleekinktober] Kurt/Blaine | E | S3/S4 summer | voyeurism/exhibitionism, sex toys, sex, romance, fantasy enactment, schmoop, etc. Kurt prepares himself to fulfill one of Blaine’s fantasies. Canon compliant and set within my Architects of Life ‘verse, though this fic should stand alone just fine.

⦿ That Shadowy Thought [TAoL 'verse][gleekinktober] Kurt/Blaine | E | S3/S4 summer | fantasy enactment, consensual non-consent, roleplay, bondage, sex, etc. Kurt and Blaine's first time never happened this way, and it never could have. That doesn’t mean they can’t play pretend.

⦿ White Noise [gkm prompt fic] Kurt/Blaine | E | S3 | intimacy, sex, fisting, being walked in on, embarrassment, aftercare Old fic updated with a needed soft epilogue. Blaine asks for something more from Kurt, and Kurt wants to give him everything. Unfortunately, it doesn't go quite as planned.

Drabbles & Snippets

⦿ Summer's Dawning [drabble][fanart inspired] Kurt/Blaine | T | Fantasy AU | nudity, sweetness, summer A wee gift for @esilher inspired by their art, Frolicking! Kurt & Blaine greet the summer together.

⦿ Touching Close, Holding Bright [snippet][GtO sequel] Kurt/Blaine+Sam | E | Post S5 divergent | smutty threesome & its subsets Sexy vignettes from a week Sam visits Kurt and Blaine in NYC

⦿ And Here We Are [snippet][S6 Fix-it] Kurt/Blaine | T | Canon Fix-it | inserted dialogue in 6x08 "A Wedding" Blaine asks for a moment alone with Kurt before they make a decision.

Sci Fi AU's

⦿ Nights of Hedonia {WIP][gkm prompt fic gone wild] Kurt/Blaine, Blaine&June (mentor/protege), Elliott+Kurt (it's complicated) | E | Space Opera AU | innocence, drama, culture clash, politics, war, intrigue, sexual discovery, etc. Added two new chapters in which diplomatic aide, Blaine, struggles with growing feelings for Kurt, as he faces new challenges, complications, and revelations.

⦿ The Swift, Shivering Place [WIP][NoH Interlude] Elliott+Kurt, past Elliott/Kurt, present background Kurt/Blaine | M | medical emergency, conspiracy, platonic kink, SoftDom!Elliott There are times when Elliott knows he needs to be Kurt’s firmest ground. An Elliott POV interlude set during Blaine's absence.

⦿ Edge of the Night [BIHtG prequel] Kurt/Blaine | M | Sci Fi AU | sex work, capitalist exploitation and it's not the sex work, conversation, gratuitous jazz standards, etc. Blaine and Kurt's first meeting on the eve of Kurt's first cargo run.

⦿ Into the Sublime Devotion [SaTE sequel][gleekinktober] Kurt/Blaine, past Finn/Kurt | E | sex, sparring, pain play, domesticity, psychic bonding leftovers, past character death (Finn) Sometimes Kurt needs it to hurt; Blaine is not a sadist. This is one snapshot of Kurt and Blaine learning together how to live in the peace they helped create after the Kaiju war.

[marleyssongbook]

“i ran away… i let bullies chase me away…”

okay blaine. buddy we are going to therapy reframe this. “i got very badly hurt on more than one level and so i went somewhere safe.”

[tanhands]

it's so sad the way he blames himself and nobody contradicts him! that survivor's guilt working overtime 😭

[marleyssongbook]

For real!! And like… interesting character choice to have him blame himself for the transfer but it never really gets?? Examined or challenged in any way? If anything the narrative kind of reaffirms it with the whole “you couldn’t face the bullies at your school so you can do it at mine” thing later on. it’s

I haven’t written much about this yet because I think there’s possibly a fic brewing that’d hopefully do it more justice than me rambling lol, but I think a probably inordinate amount about the friend he went to Sadie Hawkins with who also got bashed and how that/he might affect the survivor’s guilt thing.

[marleyssongbook]

THAT being said, i do think an underrated and very sweet aspect of early klaine is how much blaine just like?? very readily joins kurt’s world? like when kurt joins dalton he’s also good about inviting kurt into his world.

but like… it starts with blaine coming to mckinley to confront karofsky, and from there, he just? is so Around? like kurt makes a point of saying blaine asked Him to hang out, not the other way around, and got them tickets to rent. he goes to dinner with kurt and one of his other friends and tries to engage with mercedes! he goes to their championship game and a party with kids from another school, who he mostly doesn’t know very well! just like… even as a friend, blaine is so willing to both reach out/initiate things with kurt, but also be part of kurt’s world and not expect kurt to just come to him and be in his?

and it’s easy to see, tbh, how kurt might interpret that as romantic interest, but it’s also just like. Good Friend Shit.

the other side of this that’s interesting to me though is that?? blaine is SO open and ready to have kurt as a new friend when we don’t really get a sense of whether he’s particularly close with anyone at dalton? he says they’re his friends in season 3, and i think he means it, but when we see them interact in season two, it doesn’t?? really seem like he’s super close or hangs out with anyone else?

and honestly that probably comes down to blaine not Totally being a character in his own right yet. but it honestly kind of tracks with my read of him? like he, at this point, is not very emotionally honest with a lot of people. so my personal headcanon in that regard is blaine’s very “liked by everyone, known by few” at dalton. like people are nice to him!! it’s not bad there!! but people don’t really Know him - and i don’t think he means for that to happen? he puts on a front of knowing what he’s doing but the end result is people, like, buy it a little too well, so there’s always this barrier. but blaine is SUCH a people oriented person and then kurt shows up and needs a friend and is vulnerable with him and he shares like, the slightest amount of vulnerability back, and he’s just? a very ride or die friend from that point on? (until it turns into something else)

wip wednesday

in lieu of a snippet, I put together a list yesterday so I could maybe organize myself better. I didn't realize how many WIP's I have. I'm including fics I've worked on within the past 10 months. To wit!

Published/ongoing:

"The Rubble or Our Sins": Chapter 3

The Arrangement: Chapter 11

Nights of Hedonia: Chapter 22 & "The Swift, Shivering Place: an Interlude"

Scenes During the Break Up (series) "I Will Be the Flame"

Scenes from an Engagement (series) "Take Me Where I Want to Be"

Unpublished in various states:

"Crash Couch": Kurt/Sam Fanniversary ficlet

Untitled Kurt/Blaine Fanniversary ficlet

"Where Passion Clasps Peace": a.k.a. the Bookshop Fic, Kurt/Blaine

"If You Are Inclined": Kurt/Blaine GtO prequel Fanniversary of yore ficlet

"Let’s Sway": Mike/Kurt S4 New Years fling

"As She Flees Afore: Hunter/Blaine, Blaine/Sam Gleekinktober leftover

"I’ll Be the Sea": Kurt/Blaine Gleekinktober leftover

Tina/Dani ficlet for Communiglee speed date round robin

Priorities for June are "Let's Sway" and the Tina/Dani ficlet for Glee Rarepair Summer as well as prioritize an update for "The Rubble Or Our Sins". I spent some time yesterday learning how to use yWriter to organize my disorderly draft of TRoOS because I can no longer rely on my mind to hold a multi-chapter fic in my head the way I used to be able to, and that's become a painfully limiting factor on how well I'm working on multi-chapter/part stories & 'verses. Hopefully it will help with the brain mush to impose an external structure.

My rare pair, though I can’t write it would be the long standing “liaison”between June Dolloway and Carmen Tibideux, with Sidney Greene as an ex-husband of one or both. They all have their young prodigies to mould into their likeness (but fail!)

[misqueue]

I was just rechecking the Glee timeline of things to make sure I didn't mess up the five year ffwd in recent fic, and realized anew how bananas that 5 year jump in canon truly was.

Blaine, after being cut before the end of the spring semester of his first year at NYADA and then taking a full year before starting NYU in the fall of 2015, wouldn't graduate from Uni until spring 2018 at the earliest--more likely winter 2018. And the following 2019 summer is roughly when Rachel would've become pregnant with Kurt and Blaine's baby, since she's very pregnant in March 2020.

And somehow within that short span of time Kurt & Blaine write (the writing is reasonable if they'd been working on it for a while), workshop, find a producer, co-star in, and find newsworthy success with their queer adaptation of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. It's a bit of a stretch, even for Glee. Why the rush? /rhetorical. I'm generally strongly opposed to them having children* so soon. __

*tbh, I prefer them becoming so caught up with enjoying their life together and being very busy with travel and their own creative work that they keep putting off kids until they realise they're perfectly happy and complete just the two of them. YMMV ofc

kurt setting up walter with leroy…

[tanhands]

I bet Blaine shaves like Tyrone Power does in this movie, way too fast and yapping and making facial expressions the whole time
