HELP! I've fallen into a slump, I've injured my ankle and might need surgery, and writing has been like pulling teeth lately. Can you recommend some funny, motivational, and maybe just a little smutty/fluffy fics to lift my spirits?

I know you have read a lot of Klaine fic so I’m focusing on newer fics. They might not have both fluff and smut, but they are really great reads. Make sure you check out the 2020 Klaine Fanfiction Award finalists - there are both fluff and smut categories. - HKVoyage

[klaineccfanficlibrary]

Are there any fics where Kurt and Blaine are super oblivious to the fact that they love each other? Either not dating yet and they haven’t realized that they like each other or they are dating and somebody points out that they’re “in love” and it’s news to them.

I love oblivious!Klaine so much that I wrote a 200k+ word fic with this premise. 🤣- HKVoyage

First of all, I finished Lost Voices and Not Another Ghost Story which you recommended a while ago for me and I LOVED them both thank you so much! Definitely some of my new favorites. Second: do you know of any fics where either one or both of them are teachers (but no student/teacher relationship pls)? Thanks so much for all that you do for this fandom!

I’m really glad that you enjoyed one of our Klaine fic recs. There are eight posts in our Teacher!Klaine tag. Under the cut are ten fic recs where one or both are teachers and they do not include a student/teacher relationship.

Day 363: Brix Brax by practicalamanda

Title: Brix Brax Author: practicalamanda Main Character(s): Kurt & Blaine Rating: T Status (As of date of post): WIP Summary: Blaine has been going to camp Fire Light since he could walk. It's his home away from home, but no one there knows he's gay. He didn't keep it a secret, but no one had asked and so no one knew. At camp he didn't have to be the gay kid. He was just a kid. Now that he's staff, will a new Waterfront director topple this carefully crafted logic? Klaine camp counselor AU Why I love it: I used to go to camp every year when I was a kid/teen, and then as soon as I was too old I became camp staff, so this fic brings back so many memories it's just crazy! Unfortunately I couldn't go back to camp this year, so instead I've spent all summer reading camp fics like this! I love this fic, it's obviously written by someone who knows their way around summer camps, and it's just a really great light read! Kurt and Blaine's relationship just seems so easy and stress-free, and reading about Blaine taking care of his younger campers is so cute! If you are just looking for a really great camp!fic, or just a great light summer read, definitely check this story out!
