❄️ 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?

2025 has been one of the best years of my life so far. I started it by going to New York for the first time, I saw Maybe Happy Ending, met Darren at stage door (!!) and celebrated my birthday at the Empire State. I got a promotion at work, I started studying towards my second degree, and now... I'm pregnant for the first time. I'm very much looking forward to becoming a mom next year, and I know it's gonna be hard balancing all of these things, but I'm very very grateful that these changes in my life find me in a place where it makes me feel excited for the future and not dread it. A couple of years ago this seemed impossible for me, so I cannot put into words how happy and relieved this makes me. Now, I'm looking forward to my vacation so I can spend a few weeks chilling, reading the amazing fanfiction everyone has been putting out and being dotted :) Happy New Year y'all!
