Starlight Brigade by TWRP and Dan Avidan

- Storytime: there's a utilities closet next to my office that nobody knew about until recently, when the emergency light battery started to run low. When these batteries run low, the machine emits a sharp beeping noise until the issue is addressed. Mine is the only office that this was audible from. (I work for the public school system and) the problem went unaddressed for two months.

Starlight Brigade has exactly the right meter and pitch to drown out the sound of the emergency light alarm. My wrap up told me that I played this song 170+ times this year.

I owe this song my life.

Incidentally, it's also a ridiculously good song.

if you forgive me all this

Author: anisstaranise Pairing: Blaine Anderson/Sebastian Smythe Rating: M Word count: ~8k Author’s Note:

Originally written for Seblaine Week 2020. Day 5: Hurt/Comfort. But alas, I didn’t manage to finish it in time. Also, this is a sequel to These Foolish Games, written for Seblaine Week 2015. Cannot be read as a stand-alone, I’m afraid.

Thank you to @ttinycourageous​ for the cheerleading and the beta. And my love to @wherenothingisforkeeps​ for answering legal questions and correcting my New York geography.

TW // Infidelity.

Excerpt:

“I love you,” Sebastian whispered.

They have said those words before. It took them two whole years to realize that what they had was more than an affair. And even though it hurt most of the time to be that kept someone, Sebastian had made peace with it. This way, he had Blaine. Perhaps the only way.

beneficial: chapter 3 & epilogue (sebastian/blaine)

“Can I tell you something?” His eyes are closed like he doesn’t want to see her reaction.

“Is it that you and Sebastian are dating? Because I think I already told you that.” When he opens his eyes, Santana is still staring him down with a self-satisfied smirk.

“No, I…” he groans, like he’s about to say something embarrassing, “when we were having breakfast, I was watching you two, and I thought ‘there is my best friend and my boyfriend and I am just so insanely lucky’. I didn’t even mean to think the word, it just...kind of happened”

This fic is officially complete!  Posted the last part for Day 7: Friends With Benefits of @seblaineaffairs Seblaine Week 2020!  Let me know what you think, and thank you as always for reading :)

General Posting Instructions

Post whatever you did to your Tumblr and tag it with seblaineweek2020 AND seblaineaffairs. These should be in your first five tags.

While not required, we are asking that you also specifically tag us in posts by typing @seblaineaffairs somewhere within the body of the text. Again this isn’t required but will really help us to make sure we get everyone’s posts.

Somewhere in the post or in the tags, please indicate which day you are submitting for.

If your contribution fills multiple days then tag all days, regardless of which day you actually post on. If the post fills multiple days, you can post on any of the days.

Late posts are okay (posting for day 1 on day 3), but please try not to post early. If you aren’t going to be around the day of you can always schedule the post for the correct day and whatever time you would like.

If you don’t see your contribution reblogged within 24 hours please, please let us know.

If your posting to another site (AO3, ff.net, etc) then just post a link on your tumblr and tag it accordingly

If you’re posting a link on Twitter, feel free to tag us @ seblaineaffairs and we will retweet it.

Posting starts at midnight (your time) on July 12th and ends at 11:59 pm (your time) on July 18th.

Ask box (and messages) are always open for questions.

AO3 Instructions

You can post your Seblaine Week content to the collection by typing in “Seblaine Week 2020″ to the ‘post to collections/challenges.’ (Please post to the Seblaine Week collection, and not the Seblaine Affairs one.)  

IF YOU HAVE A TUMBLR, PLEASE ALSO POST HERE TOO, following the above instructions.

All the best, everyone!

Hurt/Comfort

Are these (see: above) the order of the days and themes for Seblaine Week 2020?

No, those aren’t the order of the themes and their days/dates. A post to announce the order will go up soon.

I’m new to Seblaine Week, do you have any examples of previous year’s weeks so I can get a better idea of what’s going on.

We sure do! Here is the Masterpost link. You can also check out past years by using  our events link.

Why are you starting planning so early if it might not be until July? That’s so far away!

A few reasons. 1) We respect that people work at different speeds. We hope to give people as long or as little time as possible to work. 2) If the week doesn’t work that well for contributors they can still do work ahead of time and be able to participate. 3) Because we can.

Please feel free to send us an ask should you have any questions.
