Summary:  The shift in their relationship didn't come out of left field at all. Beneath the surface, things had been changing all along. This fic takes place right after The Kiss in Original Song, and is full of fluffy season 2 feels.  

Tropes/Genre:  highschool!Klaine, fluff, romance, first time, friends!Klaine, season 2

Lynne’s review:  This is an oldie, written before many canon events. (Blaine has a sister!)  I really love her version of Klaine - love their relationship and progression. You will love this verse, too.

14. What (angst) tropes/elements/scenarios get you the worst?

The worst is when a child is taken away, like when baby Violet’s birth mom took her from Kurt and Blaine in the Lights Will Guide You Home series by @gingerandfair. (I mentioned this one in an earlier post.)

I don’t know what the fandom term for this is, or even if there is one, but I’ll call it “secret sacrifice.” When one character gives something up to benefit someone else, but doesn’t tell them. This, of course, leads to misunderstandings and an emotional reveal. Even though I know what will happen, I still stay on the angst train. Gets me every time. An example of this would be when Kurt agrees to marry his former betrothed in The Sidhe by @chazzam.

Also, when a character who has suffered abuse from bullies or others and finally realizes their worth. The very best example of this is the story Waiting for a Happy Ending, which is the sequel to Looking for a Happy Ending by @fireflyca. There are several moments that kill me in those fics, but I will never forget the scene when Blaine watches the old video of himself talking about wanting to marry Anderson Cooper, and realizes his parents don’t have an issue with his sexuality. His whole worldview changed in that moment. I still think about it. (Note: Those fics are intense and some scenes may be triggering for readers. Heed the author’s warnings.)

23. Biggest (porn) turn-offs in fic?

Incest, hardcore BDSM, watersports, bestiality, rape, comeplay.

40. Do you like fluff?

Yes, but not all of it. I have favorite fluff authors, and I’ll read anything they write. The absolute best fluff writer is @alilactree. I like her stuff because she is soooo funny. I love her entire catalog--not exaggerating.

As far as I am aware of, there isn’t a fic with the exact same plot (i.e. friends to lovers) but here are some great road trip fics. I included 100 Days for our other followers. - HKVoyage

100 Days by borogroves

Kurt and Blaine have been best friends (and nothing more) since the age of six. Now 22-year-old college graduates, they take a roadtrip around the USA, visiting every state in 100 days. Fifty states. Two boys. One love story.

Midnight Confessions by @chazzam 

A Thelma and Louise Klaine AU with some serious liberties taken (and NO major character death).  Kurt convinces Blaine, his best friend, to take a break from his emotionally abusive husband and spend a weekend with him in the mountains of West Virginia.  But when they stop for some drinks along the way, things take a horrific turn.  

And then things start to get interesting.

Spoke Too Soon by blaineandersonsbooty [PDF only]

Kurt Hummel needs to get away from the horrible experiences that life has dealt him, so he hops on a Coach bus and rides it until he gets somewhere he feels his past won’t follow him. That place is Southport, North Carolina, a small beach town along the coast. There, he meets Blaine Anderson and his daughter, Izzy, both of whom will try their hardest to make their way into Kurt’s heart, no matter how hard he tries to resist them.
