I'm trying to find story that I read quite a while ago. It included Darren and Chris, not Blaine and Kurt. It was set at the University of Michigan, and Chris was a freshman and had no friends yet. Darren was popular in a theater group (like Starkids) and was really attracted to Chris right away, but Chris didn't know it. It was a long story. Any help would be great...it was a great read and I want to read again! Thank you!

That sound like this verse. Enjoy! ~Lynne

Trip and Stumble Verse by @alittledizzy and @savvymavvy

Chris has no idea what he’s doing here. Here - at this school, in Michigan, so far from home. Chris and Darren at the University of Michigan.

Summary:  Chris and Darren are students at the University of Michigan, but they don't meet until Darren starts performing at a coffee shop Chris likes to write in. An unsuccessful date leads to strong friendship. Unbeknownst to them, Chris and Darren have been talking to each other online for almost 2 years. Feelings start to change and get super muddled in a love-quadrangle that's only actually made up of two people.

Lynne’s review:  This was really well done. I love the two “relationships” and the confusion within each guy. Also, the characterization of Chris and Darren was done very well. Excellent story.

I'd like to know if there are any fics where Chris and Darren are in college together and Darren is like very possessive?

I’m going to share some wonderful college!CC fics, anon. I hope you enjoy. ~Lynne

Falling Slowly by MelissaMotown [PDF and EPUB]

In Chris’ world guys like Darren are like tornadoes; such a fascinating force of nature and so beautiful that you constantly want to get closer.

But eventually you have to turn around and walk away, or else you will be sucked in and lost forever.

Six weeks of summer class in college turns out to challenge everything Chris believes in as he hesitantly walks strait into the tornado.

Summary:  Chris has been saving up his own money and requesting money as presents for quite a while, in order to finally afford a weekend at Coachella. He couldn’t convince anyone to come with him, so he’s going alone- something he realizes about halfway there that he may or may not end up regretting. But when he meets a cute boy, splattered in paint and donning sparkly nail polish (and not much else, honestly), he realizes that maybe it won’t be such a lonely weekend afterall.   

Tropes/Genre:  CrissColfer fanfiction, AU, alternate meeting, fluff, college!CC

Lynne’s review:  This was fun! I love free spirit, take-a-chance Chris meeting untamed, wild n free Darren. Throw in some fun OCs for a good time.

I've been reading some cc college fics, but I think that it's always from Chris' POV, so, do you guys are aware of any fics where it's Darren's POV?

The only one I could find where it’s Darren’s POV is the 3rd part of the Trip and Stumble verse. Readers, if you know of others, please share. Thanks. ~Lynne
