1576 words before lunch! I guess being unemployed has it's perks.

I'm really loving this Childhood Furt, Carole/Burt/Kurt's mom AU i've cooked up, apparently. I'm not looking foward to the middle bit of it, though, really not looking forward to that. I'm going to make myself cry, I already did writing the outline.

Myle my dear you have stumbled across my Barolebeth AU 🥰

Send me a Title of one of my WIPs and I'll tell you about it and post a little snippet

Some Things You Just Don't Question:

When Carole is asked to talk about Finn's behaviour in his Kindergarten class she meets his Teacher, Mrs. Elizabeth Hummel, and the two decide that Finn is in need of new friends, so they set up a play date between him and Elizabeth's son, Kurt. The two boys become fast friends, and so do their parents. Carole develops a crush on Elizabeth, and then develops a crush on her husband Burt too. And she has no idea what to do. One day, in the middle of Summer, the boys are invited to a sleepover with The Berry's and the three of them decide to be the young adults they are and go out on the town. A few drinks and a lot of Karaoke later they're back at the Hummel's child free house, and, well, it turns out that Carole isn't the only one harboring a crush. But of course not everything can be sunshine and rainbows, because we all know what happens in canon.

A little excerpt under the cut

So they played tea party, three of them wearing tiaras as Finn wore one of Kurt’s bowties around his neck, until Mr. Hummel, Burt, came home. He greeted Carole happily as he took off his baseball cap and puffer jacket. He shared his son’s boyish smile and exuded an air of kindness underneath his gruff exterior of plaid shirts and stained jeans. He definitely looked like a mechanic, but one of those mechanics that would strike up a friendly conversation with his clients as he looked over their engine. He probably had gossip on everyone in Lima, but he didn’t seem the kind to share it around. Elizabeth laughed and pushed him away as he tried to greet her with a kiss, moving to wrap his arms around her waist. “Wash your hands first.” She scolded him, and Carole noticed the grime that settled in his fingerprints. Burt laughed. “Hello, son, you making a new friend?” He asked Kurt, crouching down to look the boys in the eye. Kurt nodded, beaming, which caused Burt to shoot back an identical grin, moving to ruffle his son’s hair with affection. But Kurt copied his mother and backed away with a look. Burt chuckled and stood upright. “Okay, okay, I hear ya. I’ll go clean myself up.” He laughed, he turned his smile to Carole and she felt her heart stutter, just slightly, under the kindness in his eyes. “Nice to meet ya, Carole. I’d shake your hand but…” “Nice to meet you too, Burt.” She responded in kind, unable to stop the smile that graced her face. He and Elizabeth made a cute couple, masculine against feminine, gruff against soft. Juxtapositions of each other, the outward cliche of opposites attract, while inwardly they both had the same innate kindness to their words and actions.
