A Drop in the Ocean

An unofficial fan-sequel of A Change in the Weather (2012) by Cacophonylights. Kurt and Sebastian have decided to try dating for real, but it’s only the first step to becoming a real couple; there are challenges ahead that neither of them expected when they drove down to the beach house.

Glad You Came Verse

As Hurricane BLAM blows through Kurt and Blaine’s apartment, Kurt seeks refuge in a cocktail bar. It is here that he bumps into Sebastian. It seems at first glance that his old nemesis hasn‘t changed a bit. But Kurt has, and slowly, he starts to realise that maybe Sebastian has too.

Bildungsromance

Sebastian arrives in Ohio, fresh from Paris. Kurt's in his last year of high school at McKinley. They instantly hate each other. But what goes on underneath the surface, and what happens when they run into each other again in New York without Blaine in the picture?

Thank you for your contributions to the fandom, @jwmelmoth!

Ten Years of ACITW

As July 4th quickly approaches, many Kurtbastian fans minds wander to "A Change in the Weather" written by Cacphonylights ten years ago, which remains a WIP, but an amazing fan ending was written two years ago by @jwmelmoth and @daftydraw. I thought I'd post links to AO3 to help people find them.

Refrain

By JWMelmoth

For someone who enjoys hearing himself talk a lot, especially in company, Sebastian is actually a good listener when he wants to be. In the past, he used this to his advantage to pick up on other people’s discomfort; to push them harder and pick them apart just because he could. Now, he mostly uses it to know when to stay out of Kurt’s way; when to approach him with care; when to give him more (or less) of what he needs, and when to rush to his aid. He has specialised in being a Kurt-listener.

It starts on the first morning he stayed over at Kurt’s apartment.

@daftydraw omg I’m crying a bit...you made a playlist including songs from something I helped write.

It’s okay, I’m not crying you’re crying!

@jwmelmoth The level of detail in no 3. is amazing...you even added the ones we put in the notes?? 🥰 

Yesss I wanted to share this someday soon but then this ask happened and here we are. I absolutely loved making it and yes I looked up every song and as soon as a song was mentioned, I added it to the playlist n_n

fanfic ask back at you! 26, 47, 49!

Thank you! :D

26. What aspect of your writing do you most enjoy to see praised?

The emotion, I think. When I write, I feel like I focus a LOT on the character’s movements. Where they are, what they’re doing. So when I get around to posting, I worry that there’s not enough, or even any, emotion coming across to anyone else. 

47. If someone you know in real life who isn’t involved in fandoms asked to read your work, would you let them? If yes, what would you recommend they read first?

Oh yeah, for sure. I mean, totally depends on who is asking. But there are a couple people that I would trust to read something I’ve written. I would direct them to my Stranger Things gen fic probably. The Best People He Knows or It’s Normal

49. Has anyone in your life ever read your fanfic just because you wrote it?

Yes! I’m pretty sure an old best friend of mine read some of my stuff literally just because it was me that wrote it. And I’ve had a comment or two lead me to believe people have done the same with some of my Stranger Things fic, too. It’s so lovely!

jwmelmoth replied to your post: 17 questions, some people

Slyth!!

I know you are *pulls out the innocent face*

writer asks right back at you! 17, 23, 28!

17.  How long was the longest fic you ever wrote?

The longest fic I ever wrote and published was 36,000 words long. But the longest fic I ever actually wrote, but is still sitting in my docs is 45k.

23.  For how long have you been a fandom writer?

A quick look at the date on my earliest fic tells me it’s been 10 years! Not sure how that happened so fast but here we are... 

28. What’s your favorite fandom to write for?

Right now, it’s absolutely Stranger Things. It’s kind of wild to think back to the days when I either thought I’d never stop writing for SPN, or a little after that when I just plain thought I’d never write anything worth posting again. I had so many wips started for other fandoms, but ST is the one that I felt compelled to post for!

I’ll keep saying it for a while, I’m super grateful to the Stranger Things fandom for bringing me back as a contributor instead of just a reader.

9, 10, 22 (soft asks) :)

9. what calms you down?

music and writing mostly. and a good cry lol.

10. what’s something you’re excited for?

when this is over, my best friend is traveling up to nyc to stay with my partner and myself, and we’re going to go to the court house and get a civil marriage with my best friend as a witness.

22. what would you say to your future self?

pls try playwriting again. also, on a ~deeper~ level, remember to communicate properly. i have a tendency to feel and bottle it up rather than expressing my feelings, and it’s always a mistake. but i never learn. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
