Is It Weird? by a-simple-rainbow
Blaine sends his Topics in Contemporary Music mid-term essay to the wrong e-mail address, writing an extra m where it was supposed to read Humel. Kurt, spending a semester abroad in Paris, is having a challenging night of essay writing and procrastination, and goes a little bit beyond letting Blaine know he got the wrong person, sparking what will soon be described as a “weird pen-palish thing we got going on” that takes them both by surprise and leaves them hopeful and giddy.
Warning: Small mentions of Finn and his death.

Otherwise known as the sequel to Is It Weird?
Glimpses, into the first year of Blaine and Kurt’s relationship, told mostly through Kurt’s point of view.

It makes Blaine pause for a second. He opens his mouth a couple of times before he manages to say, seeming entirely breathless by the concept, “We’re really very adult now, aren’t we?”
Kurt thinks about it for a moment. “It’s a little bit scary, isn’t it?”
Blaine shrugs, drops his voice to a whisper and settles a warm, steady hand on Kurt’s waist. “Maybe it’ll be fun.”
(let’s talk about the next step, shall we?)
Verse of about 131,000 words and 6 parts: it comprehends a story of about 53,000 words (7 chapters, complete), a first sequel of about 43,000 words (14 chapters, complete), and other succeeding one-shots; low and medium rating. On AO3.
With several pieces of art by a-simple-rainbow, too!
Great read, and I really have a thing for epistolary!fics, but in this one their conversations are just so... real and full of life (and funny, touching, and lots more); it's beautiful, getting to know them little by little like this. The sequels are everything I hoped they would be. Kudos!
