THIS! And actually, could everyone please stop tagging your Finchel hate with Klaine, too? I track that tag to see/read about a couple I like, not to see bashing of other couples. 8T

Reblog and Just click on the picture above, then click on play, then leave the mouse alone, sit back and enjoy a piece of creative brilliance.
So I just wanted to put it out there that aside from being incorrect pseudo-science, the whole concept of Black people's melanin protecting them from skin cancer reeks of social darwinism. :/
Saw this on the Klaine tag and didn't want to just rattle off a few fanfics without actually describing them, so a rebloob it is:
Together, We are the Oceans: Soon after Kurt's transfer to Dalton, the Warblers land a gig singing on a cruise ship over Christmas break. This fic is very sweet, has some mild angst, and is definitely very well written. It was written before Kurt and Blaine actually got together on the show, so it's basically an alternative get-together fic.
Confidence: This fic is a must read! It was inspired by the knowledge that Chris Colfer originally tried out to play Artie, and that Darren Criss once tried out for the role of Finn. In this story, Blaine occupies Finn's role as the football captain dating the head cheerleader, Kurt occupies Artie's role as the kid in the wheel-chair, and the whole thing re-writes season 1. Kurt and Blaine and the development of their relationship in this is amazing, and it's interesting to see how differently things go for the entire Glee club under this premise. (Link is to the first chapter, but navigation is a little confusing, so here's the first page of her tag for this fic.)
Where There's Smoke: Kurt Hummel has successfully escaped Lima, Ohio, and is living in New York, working primarily as a costume designer while waiting for his big break. Blaine is a Fire-fighter who was born and raised in Brooklyn. When they meet by chance, sparks fly, and the fic follows the story of how they get to know each other and fall in love. It's such a sweet, fluffy comfort fic.
So, I hope those were what you were looking for and that you enjoy them. :)
Okay, so basically the only fic I read is Little Numbers.
I’ve read most of GYOW but it’s just not my cup of tea.
So I was wondering if any of my lovely followers (or anyone that sees the tags) could recommend some to me?
I want something sweet that is really well written. A little angst is ok too. I don’t mind if there is sex, but I don’t want that to just be the focus.
Thanks so much guys!!!
Um, I don't really see the problem? Like, any "ZOMG KURTSIE YOU DIDN’T TELL BLAINERS FIRST" freakout would have been pretty stupid, because a) it's not as though Blaine was actually at school to run and tell, and b) Burt basically called dibs on giving Blaine the news like the second after Kurt opened his letter. XD
I also don't see why it's a problem that Kurt's question caused her to have that moment. The drama isn't even in the fact that Finn wasn't the first person she told. It's just that now that Rachel has realized that her dreams haven't gone completely down the drain, she has to figure out if accepting Finn's proposal is something she did in a moment of defeat, or an inevitable decision that she'd have eventually made regardless of the circumstance. That's... a pretty legitimate source of romantic drama and suspense, at least for Glee.
The whole Finn v/s New York thing has been presented as a conflict of interest for Rachel since the end of last season, so it looks like they're just following through on that. Kurt and Blaine on the other hand have never been shown to have any such conflict, (even despite the year of long-distance relationship they're in for) and seem pretty secure in their plans to end up in New York together, so of course it isn't presented as quite as big of a deal. (For now.)
The MJ episode ended with Kurt asking Rachel if she told Finn, or what Finn said or whatever and then Rachel had that look on her face and there was that moment of thought where she was likewait, how did i not even think of Finn do i actually love him is getting married a mistakeand blahblahblah cliffhanger ending.
PROBLEM.
Um, did we see Kurt run to tell Blaine? No. The first one he ran to was Rachel. Was there any mini freakout of “ZOMG KURTSIE YOU DIDN’T TELL BLAINERS FIRST” ? Lol, no.
So how come with Finchel it was a bigger deal?

They’re naked and kind of sweaty, lying in bed facing each other and too lazy to pull the blankets up over their rapidly cooling skin, when Kurt notices the box under the pillow.

So I'm really disliking all the supposition I'm seeing that since Caliborn basically said that mean=nice in cherub culture, this means Calliope must be super sinister and evil. Like I'm pretty sure that being sweet and affectionate toward all her friends wasn't meant as some weird twisted cherub 'fuck you' to them or anything. Calliope immersed herself in the cultures of other species, so I'm pretty sure she has a firm understanding of the concept of being pleasant and polite towards people she cares about.
That said, wow those empty eye sockets were not something I was expecting. It's kinda interesting though, because her death as a cherub is sort of a weird special case to begin with, and like, there's still a living body somewhere out there that her soul used to inhabit. idk, I don't have any actual theories about this, but it makes me think about LE's billiard eyes and whether that affected Calliope in any way or something, I don't know where I'm going with this.
Especially considering how integral this is to the world she's shoddily built.
So I just wanted to put it out there that aside from being incorrect pseudo-science, the whole concept of Black people’s melanin protecting them from skin cancer reeks of social darwinism. :/

Agreeing with all points and also just wanted to say that Kurt accidentally pulling a Jesse St. James on Blaine has been my favourite headcanon since I started noticing the parallels.
