hiii!! any recs for long ish one shots? maybe college au’s
When i searched A03, putting in the search complete works, one shot , over 6,000 words, for the BA/KH relationship, I got 1,299 fics! Likewise on our library search, we can search the number of words you want. What I have tried to recommend here are a selection of one shots 6000-20,000 words, by authors still active in the fandom, and maybe some of their less well known fics. (with college/graduate/early employment stories). ~Jen

Rate my professor by @kurtsascot

~~~~~~ Journey to the Past by @quizasvivasmos
When the music teacher at McKinley High School goes out on leave, Blaine is hired mid-year and fresh out of college as the long-term substitute to fill her spot. Kurt’s the tenured English teacher with a lot of passion for his subject, but there’s a bit of a chip on his shoulder. There’s an inside joke amongst staff that he’s allergic to music; he does everything he can to avoid going near the music corridor and to avoid doing anything that involves music. One way or another, despite Kurt’s persistent resistance, Blaine makes it his mission to lead Kurt back to the music.
