Hi old friends. It appears I may be writing a gleecember/advent fic. I seem to like to re-read my own fics when I feel stressed and I got bored of the ones I have…so was the only thing to do.
I’ve written a few parts already and hopefully some people here still read klaine. Won’t post everyday but hope to get most done this month.
Starts later today!
Klaine Advent Poll Time!
Hi there Klaine Adventers! (adventees? adventesers?)
We've been kicking around thoughts about the Klaine Advent, (should we still do it, should it still be the Advent, what should it be instead, etc...), and thought we'd use tumblr's handy poll function to get some feedback before making any decisions.
The poll will be open for one week and we'd really love your response, your signal boost, your favorite recipes, etc. What we really want to know is if YOU (yes you) will participate in any of the suggested options (or some other option). I know everyone loves the Advent (so do we!), but for the past few years it's been seriously dwindling in participation, and even though the first week sees an enthusiastic bunch of fic, by December 23 it's not quite so active.
So, if you want to participate in an Advent-like challenge for December 2023, please participate in this poll!! I urge you to pass on any messeges or thoughts about this in the tags, please go wild!
I do want to say that we will definitely be doing something for this year, but it's possible that this may be the last one, and if that's going to be the case I want everyone to know far in advance.
Thanks for reading, and on to the poll!!
Which December Klaine Challenge would YOU participate in?
Traditional Klaine Advent with daily word prompts Dec 1-24
Newly designed Klaine Solstice Challenge with daily word prompts Dec 1-21
Some kind of challenge with 4 weekly themed prompts
Any of the above just keep having a December Klaine Fanfiction Challenge!
None of the above (put your suggestion in the tags)!
I dunno, maybe it's time to end it?
I just want to see the results!
Thanks!
Ljubim te (24/24) - complete
Notes: And here we are, almost 7 months late! The Klaine Advent 2022 is complete! Time for cheese 🧀!

BURST
“I love you.”
Blaine’s looking at Kurt with a shocked look on his face. Kurt, on the other hand, isn’t surprised.
Holiday (Klaine) fics
I wanted to make a post with my holiday fics, and it turns out the ones that are truly winter holiday-focused are all Klaine (likely because that’s when I was doing Advent challenges). So if you’d like some Klaine to read for a break from family or just for fun, here you go:
Honeymoon Holidays. 27k words. Kurt and Blaine’s first winter holidays together as a married couple fall so quickly after their wedding that sometimes they almost seem like a continuation of their honeymoon. But not always.
Plan On Me. 2400 words. A continuous series of 100-word drabbles written for Klaine Advent 2016. Blaine is a doctor, assigned to a war-torn area, wishing he was back at home with Kurt. It's almost the holidays, and he's due to go home soon; it's just not soon enough.
Snow and Mistletoe. 2400 words. A continuous series of 100-word drabbles written for Klaine Advent 2016. Blaine sees a slender boy caroling with a high school chorus in Lima's shopping center. The boy is holding himself tightly, singing “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” as if he doesn’t expect anyone to be there at all.
A Wonderful Christmastime. 1600 words. Sometimes being up in the middle of the night together is an act of love. A moment of holiday peace for Kurt and Blaine.
Klaine Advent 2013. 11k. A series of stories that take place the year after Kurt and Blaine move to NYC.
Scenes from December (19/24)
Klaine Advent Day Nineteen : Roomy
***
December, 2060
Kurt stood on the balcony overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The sky was bright and cloudless, the sun high in the sky. A soft breeze whispered through the air. All was peaceful and quiet save the soft slapping sound of the waves on the beach and a few seagulls who called in the distance. It didn’t feel like December. It didn’t even feel like he was on the same planet. He had spent so much of his life in the hustle and bustle of one city or another - even his past vacations were always filled to the brim with activities - that being in an actual paradise, without kids or grandkids or even an itinerary, felt like a foreign jolt to his system.
He and Blaine had been planning this vacation for years now. They were supposed to go for their fortieth birthday but then that was shoved back for some reason or another and the years slipped by. They hadn’t hit fifty years together yet - but why not take it now? For no other reason than they could? Nothing but an entire week of just Blaine’s company. It was a nice thought.
He leaned forward on the wooden railing, glad that it was sturdy, and not too high up. The rolling of the water crashing into the sand was mesmerizing. A little way down the beach a young child played in the sand as his dad sat by his side, smiling as the child tried to build a sandcastle. It made him think, just for a moment, about his own dad - and how he and Carole never did make it to Hawaii; a thought that laid a little heavy on his heart. He and Blaine would have to set aside some money to make sure the girls and their families could go. The view alone had been at least worth the wait - and he wanted them to have the experience - at least once.
There was a click from behind him, the sliding glass door glided open with Blaine taking a step onto the balcony. Seeing him made Kurt smile - Blaine still insisted on wearing the most ridiculous outfit. He had on a huge, wicker hat with yellow sunglasses, a bright green Hawaiin shirt with beige shorts both of which were just a little too big on him, and a pair of sandals. Nothing screamed more touristy than Blaine’s choice of fashion, but he had argued that he wanted to spend his vacation in the most comfortable attire he could find, and Kurt chose not to fight him on it. Besides, there was a certain amount of amusement that came with Blaine’s wardrobe. Might as well enjoy it.
Blaine was reading from a guide book as he came out onto the balcony, not looking up to see Kurt as he read from it. “According to this there are plenty of things we can do… There are some hiking trails, glass bottom boat trips with guided tours, a playhouse for local theater, a bingo night exclusive for us old people, ooh and even a roomy jacuzzi in the community center.” Blaine wiggled his silvery eyebrows above the sunglasses.
Kurt grinned. There was a time some ten - fifteen years ago where they might have fucked their way through the vacation. While sex still managed to be a part of their marriage, Kurt wasn’t sure he really wanted to spend his entire time in the hotel room. He wasn’t even sure he wanted to do anything that Blaine had listed off, even if all of it were things he’d enjoy. Maybe later in the week he’d consider -- maybe even tomorrow. But right now, he just wanted to relax. Really relax and forget, if just for a moment, about the busyness of his life.
Kurt bit his lip before he answered. They had promised each other no expectations and that the purpose of the trip was to not overburden each other with activities. He knew his husband - and how eager he was to go and see everything that he could - and the quiet, non-moving parts of life were sometimes harder for him. “What if we did nothing?” Kurt offered. “What if we took a couple of chairs out to the beach, and let our feet get wet, and just talked until nightfall to see how well we could see the stars.”
It was hard to tell what Blaine was thinking with the sunglasses covering his eyes. But his face had always been so full of expression - and there seemed to be no disappointment there. “I think there’s a bar downstairs. And earlier I saw some lady with a coconut in her hand. I don’t know what it was - but it included a colorful, little umbrella -- and I think that’s what I want.”
Kurt let out a chuckle. “Are you sure that’s okay?”
Blaine tilted his head - his expressive face saying Kurt shouldn’t even be questioning it. “Spending uninterrupted time with my best friend, especially in a place like this? Always okay.”
Almost fifty years with this ridiculous human -- and yet, he was still Kurt’s favorite. He leaned over and gave Blaine a gentle kiss on the lips.
You’ve Got My Number [12/24]
Summary: Kurt hates music theory, and music theory hates him, too. He decides he needs a tutor if he doesn’t want to flunk out of NYADA, which he very much doesn’t, so - enter Blaine.
Meanwhile, warblersong and sirelphaba have been internet friends since the early days of social media, having met on the Broadway musical side of Twitter. Years later, they’re still friends - and years later, they barely know anything about each other.
He should’ve known the long walk in the cold would come back to bite him in the ass.
Despite the hot cocoa, Kurt had felt chilled to the bone for the rest of the day, even after a long, hot shower - paired with the stress of classes, plus close quarters with countless people in classes and on the subway and on the sidewalks, it’s a recipe for disaster.
And now, a few days later, he’s sick.
Completely and utterly sick.
He’d felt a tickle in the back of his throat the night before, but he'd ignored it, hoping it would go away, assuming it was nothing. But now, even the next morning, it's entirely on fire, and he's exhausted.
He feels terrible, and he feels even worse knowing it means he needs to cancel on Blaine.
If it were just a typical study session during a normal week, on a usual day, he wouldn’t feel as bad, but with everything that’s been going on, he doesn’t want Blaine to take it personally.
He doesn’t want to deprive Blaine of an opportunity for support, either.
But Kurt’s throat is killing him, and his nose is stuffy, and his abs are already aching with the force of his coughs, and he knows he needs to stay home.
He tugs his warmest blanket further around his shoulders, and he picks up the phone, and he dials.
