Wtf anon. Mandy, one of my fave things about your writing style is how you can tell so MUCH with so few words. It always amazed me.

If These Pages Could Tell a Story by controlofwhatido
Isabelle Wright has written another book and is about to go on tour with it. Kurt’s job, as her assistant, is to make sure every location is up to speed with Isabelle’s requests. When Kurt e-mails Anderson’s Bookshop, he certainly doesn’t expect their correspondence to go past the first couple perfunctory responses…

Author Spotlight: controlofwhatido day 4
Reccing other people’s fics is a tough gig. But here are three gorgeous fics to read if you haven’t yet!
Day 4: Recs!
This was almost impossible for me. There are so many great fics that I love, it’s so hard to choose! I’ve been reading Klaine fic for years at this point, I’ve read thousands of fics I’m sure. I went with a few that I tend to go back and reread over and over again. If I listed all of my favorites, we would be here for a while!
Lovesong by andiheardeverything
I actually just finished rereading this for the… 6th? 7th? time? It’s one of those ones that breaks my heart and puts it back together throughout the whole fic. Since I care for my mom who has severe MS, this story always hits home for me with how Kurt cares for Blaine, especially in the beginning. I love, love, love this fic so much I highly recommend it to everyone. Don’t let the angst or the idea of Blaine being hurt scare you away, their journey together through Blaine (and Kurt’s) recovery is so beautiful it’s so, so worth it.
If I gave my favorite quote, it would be the whole fic (lol) so this is the end of the first chapter that always ‘gets’ me:
Kurt finishes his moisturizing and curls in behind Blaine, drawing him close into his chest. He feels the slow rhythm of Blaine’s breathing; when he’s sleeping it’s easy to pretend that it’s just them. No brain damage or seizures or doctors orders between them. But no matter what, no matter how much Blaine recovers, or declines, Kurt will always love him, nothing can change that. The perfect, beautiful boy he met on the staircase, that doesn’t let anything get him down. Not homophobes, not rusted pipes, not doctors with their stupid charts and diagnoses. Because Blaine is stronger than all that, and Kurt is stronger and together they will get through. No matter what.
Floorshow by neaf
I can recite ~the scene word for word. I remember reading this for the first time when neaf was posting it and I just… words cannot describe how much I love it. Of course I would quote ~the scene, but just in case anyone hasn’t read this one (if you haven’t, what are you doing? go now!), I don’t want to spoil it. So I will go with this beautiful imagery.
The corset he’d expected, but the body it clung to was tight, and wiry, and built of porcelain skin and muscle that looked like it was cut from marble. The bulge of both shoulders and biceps cutting out from under the black lines of shimmering fabric was impossible not to follow down to gloved forearms and long, thin fingers pressed against pale knees. His calves disappeared into leather boots with four-inch heels at the base, and Blaine realized a moment too late he was actually staring at the shifting muscle along the man’s thighs.
The Muse by cimmerians
Oh god, this fic. I had started it when Cimms was posting it in chapters, but then she posted it all at once and I just… devoured it. It unlocked something in me, I don’t know but after I finish it I just burst into tears I was so emotional. My husband, of course, was worried about why I was so upset. That’s when it all came out… I told him about the fic I read, and I actually ended up reading this one out loud to him. I love everything Cimms has written, but this one holds a special place.
Blaine put down the charcoal stick he was inspecting, and looked up. There was an old, nearly threadbare brown velvet armchair facing the windows, with some of his favorite antique dolls sitting on it—he’d been painting them last week, working them in as background on one of the canvases for his next book. Kurt was standing next to it, spare and elegant in his trim, tight-fitted clothes, his white fingers looped through the glossy, blond ringlets of the large, French doll with the elaborately frilled lace petticoat. The juxtaposition of it caught him. “That’s… hold it there, Kurt, okay?” Kurt looked up, his eyes wide. “What, this? But don’t you need me to… I mean… my hair’s blue—” “It’s a very nice color on you,” Blaine said conversationally, moving all the dolls except the bebe blonde platine to his desk. He hauled the armchair around until he had it where he wanted it, then made a kind of futile attempt to brush the dust off it. “Sit here, please?”
It's that time of the week again! Please show some love to our lovely contributors for Week 7!
