This is a sideblog that primarily contains Klaine fic. Stuff I write, stuff I read, and fan art I love. Feel free to drop a prompt in my ask (I'm not guaranteed to write it, but prompts tend to get my writing brain whirring) I post my fic on Ao3 under the name NineofHearts. I also have a sideblog for Julie and the Phantoms fics: WriteInEveryEmptySpace
❄️ Klaine Secret Santa 🎅 Gift Exchange 2025 ❄️ Masterlist ❄️
1. All Falls Down by @mcalpinewrites for @misqueue
Summary: When Kurt runs into the guy whose heart he broke nearly a decade ago, his holiday season turns into one unlike any other.
2. An Alternative Retelling of How Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer Saved Christmas by @kcgleek for @porcelina-hummel
Summary: Since breaking off their engagement 5 years ago, Kurt and Blaine have formed a tentative friendship, but are constantly surrounded by friends, never alone. Will a night alone watching their favorite classic TV special change everything? A story full of nostalgia, fluff, peppermint, silver and gold for the Klaine Secret Santa Gift Exchange.
3. The Substitute by @annepi-blog for @justgleekout
Summary: Single dad Kurt Hummel is just trying to survive another chaotic morning with his twins. But everything changes the moment they arrive at kindergarten and meet the new substitute teacher. Mr. Anderson instantly charms the kids…and Kurt isn't immune either.
4. The Rubble or Our Sins by @misqueue for @special-bc-ur-part-of-it
Summary: Vignettes of Kurt and Blaine's relationship as they learn how to live and love together. Or, how Kurt and Blaine avoid a second break-up.
5. Finding The Right Rhythm by @caramelcoffeeaddict for @esilher
Summary: Popstar Blaine Anderson has just finished a run on Broadway, and now has to temporarily move to L.A. for three months to record his new album. Those three months, just so happen to overlap with the new season of Dancing with the Stars--of which his brother, Cooper, is the new host of. In order to support his brother--and meet his favorite pro dancer, Kurt Hummel--Blaine makes sure he's able to attend every live show they have while he's in town.
6. Tomorrow at Eight by @gleefulpoppet for @kurtwarbler
Summary: When Blaine rushes in for a last-minute holiday haircut, he doesn’t expect to meet Kurt, one of New York’s most sought-after stylists with charm that melts right through him like marshmallows in hot chocolate. One surprising invitation later, and a glittering gala becomes the backdrop for a connection that feels as magical as the season itself.
7. Two shades of one by @esilher for @caramelcoffeeaddict
8. Find Our Rhythm Again by @rusty-hewitt for @gleefulpoppet
Summary: After that fateful evening in Battery Park, Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson parted ways and lived completely separate lives. They have spent a decade packing their past into neat boxes and shelving any feelings that may exist. But does storing the feelings away mean they're actually gone? Around a decade later, the universe puts that to the test as Kurt and Blaine find themselves back in each other's orbit, and just in time for Christmas.
9. A wintery barista au encounter by @kurtwarbler for @myno-archive
Summary: It's been five years since Kurt's heart was broken. Does he believe in second chances?
11. (always leads to) you, and my hometown by @special-bc-ur-part-of-it for @rusty-hewitt
Summary: After his most recent and one of his most dance-intensive shows yet, and after about seven years of consistently performing (and upon just turning 30), Kurt Hummel needs a much-deserved break. What he doesn't expect is to find himself moving back to Ohio and teaching dance at his former high school. He also doesn't expect to find himself reuniting with and working at the same school as Blaine.
12. Baseline by @porcelina-hummel for @teilo
Summary: A routine check-up leaves Kurt unsettled. In the run up to Christmas his anxieties about health, aging, and identity begin to surface. A domestic Klaine story about love and growing older together, set at Christmas.
13. A Wedding (or two or three) with You by @nineofhearts4 for @kcgleek
Summary: Blaine gets by bartending and singing at weddings in NYC. It’s just another night serving well-dressed wedding guests when he meets Kurt.
14. Holiday love by @justgleekout for @shame-is-a-wasted-emotion
15. The Plus-One (Operation Boyfriend-for-Christmas) by @myno-archive for @lilacdaisyrose
Summary: The best ideas are born during pilates class – at least, that's what Rachel and Santana choose to believe when they set up their friends for a blind date to change their lives forever. Do the victims of their conspiracy want this, too? Absolutely not! But they aren't so cruel as to stand each other up just a day before Thanksgiving, especially when they can't even cancel the date that has been arranged for them. Well, something good might come out of it, right…? Or a real disaster.
16. What's In Your Read, Honey? by @shame-is-a-wasted-emotion for @mcalpinewrites
Summary: When spending your Christmas with diviner friends meant getting answers for the questions deep inside you, who would say no to it?
17. Fates and Spilled Coffee by @lilacdaisyrose for @nineofhearts4
Summary: When Kurt meets fellow student, Blaine Anderson, on campus, it feels like love at first sight. But he cannot help but feel there is something wrong. Is he just self-sabotaging or is there something waiting in the wings to destroy his new found happiness?
❄️ Do you want more? Check out last year's creations here! ❄️

Then the FBI shows up, followed shortly thereafter by a supernatural detective he thought he left behind, and his life is once again thrown into chaos.
Summary: “Am I dead?” The man asked, staring up at her as she finished the second to last set of bandages.

Thank you @fairytalebang, @ficwip for bringing us together and creating an insentive for me to draw!
“You can stay one night,” Nancy said. She sighed when her answer made Bess squeal.
“Thank you thank you thank you!” Bess exclaimed. “Okay, I know you have a shift in the morning, but I thought we could watch a movie. Nothing scary, of course – we don’t need to relive what happened with Lucy the last time I was here.” She shuddered.
“Bess,” Nancy interrupted. When she saw the look on Nancy’s face, Bess deflated.
“Right,” she said softly. “One night. Thanks, Nancy.”
Or three times Bess shows up at Nancy’s door to stay the night, and one time Nancy calls to invite her over.
Set during season 1, in the gap between episodes 9 & 10

Fandom: Nancy Drew
Pairing: Nancy Drew/Ace
I Thought I Was in Full Bloom Until I Met You, 2,585 words
In Horseshoe Bay there's a tradition. The stories claim that if you find yourself under mistletoe with someone who might be your soulmate, you have to kiss them or else risk losing them forever. The townspeople debate the voracity of this tradition as several couples claim to have skipped out on the mistletoe kiss in their youth only to find themselves deeply in love with, and later married to, that same person that they didn't kiss under the mistletoe, but most stick to the tradition. Just in case.
Mistletoe Trap, 728 words
Bess tries out a new charm ahead of a Christmas party. It has some intended consequences.
Love's First Kiss, 1,054 words
Sleeping beauty trope meets the Drew Crew with a twist
The Ring of Phthonus, 1,591 words
Ace is at the Historical Society, helping Bess organize and catalog the archives when he opens the box with a magical old ring. He picks it up and rolls it around in his hands. He then puts it on his finger like an IDIOT (he just wanted to see if it fit - people used to be so much smaller!). That's when the problem starts.
i’ve looked through the highschool!klaine tag but i don’t know where to start! help a girl out please!!
Hello, so here are a selection of highschool, with them at McKinley au, and then some Dalton fics. Hopefully they will start you off! ~Jen
About-Face by @quizasvivamos
At the start of the Marching Band season his sophomore year, Blaine is the youngest Drum Major in McKinley High history. However, none of his peers believe he deserves the title, especially a handful of embittered upperclassmen, including one particularly stubborn Color Guard Captain, who challenges him in more ways than one.

Is There a Twelve Step Just For You? By 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.

Kurt and Blaine met just as they did in canon, and even though Blaine realizes when Kurt sings Blackbird that he's in love with Kurt, he never says anything, and Kurt goes back to McKinley. Blaine transfers to McKinley for senior year, and they are best friends, bonding on being the only two out guys at McKinley until Karaofsky comes back. And he's out and proud, and he wants Kurt. And so he asks Kurt to be his prom date, repeatedly until Kurt, in frustration, finally blurts out that someone already asked him. He said the first name that came to mind, Blaine's. On top of that, he tells Dave that they are now dating. Now, Kurt needs to convince his best friend to take him to the biggest event of their high school year, senior prom.
Tropes: Fake Dating, Friends to Lovers, High school Klaine, Canon Divergent

Are you spying by @nineofhearts4
Rachel graduates after the New Directions wins Nationals, leaving Kurt as the new captain of the Glee Club. He is left to pull a new team together, including finding a 12th member after auditions fall flat. He resorts to posting on a show choir forum to recruit new members, where he meets another poster by the name of BWarbler, who happens to be very fed up with his own glee Club, which is now run by Sebastian Smythe. They strike up a friendship online, never realizing that they are show choir rivals who will meet and compete against one another at Regionals. ….until they do.
