Believe it or not, there are two fics titled “Drunk on You”. I am not aware of an audio version of either of these fics. Most authors on AO3 provide a link or make mention of an audio version in the story’s author notes. Both authors have a Tumblr account (indicated below). I suggest you message the correct author to see if they know of one. - HKVoyage

Drunk on You by @flamingmuse

It takes Kurt three times to fit his key in the lock of the apartment’s door, partly because Blaine is swaying heavily against his side, a warm, drunk weight keeping him off-balance, and partly because the alcohol in his own system is making the lock swim just enough in the plane of the door that he can’t quite catch it.

Bushwick futurefic, set within the next year or so, after Blaine’s graduation, no spoilers past 5x03

Congratulations on finishing! That's so exciting! I hope the revising process goes well.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!  <33333 I’m excited to be past that first hurdle and share the news!

It’s funny because revising is something I’ve done tons of in fanfic writing, and I’ve done a fair amount in original fiction (in terms of other projects and this one, in terms of workshopping stuff).  

I am IN LOVE with sweet tea. But there's almost none in NY unless you consider the slop that McDonald's passes off as sweet tea. If it's made right, yes, it's very sweet, but it's refreshing and simple, not like sugary. It works.

I don’t think that’s something McD’s has up here. It wasn’t until I joined Tumblr that I had ever heard of it. I think it might have been on your blog that I first heard it mentioned, actually! :)

Sweetened iced tea, often made with simple syrup or very fine sugar so that there's no grit to it. If you're not used to sugar in your tea, it can feel VERY sweet. And yes, people are willing to go into battle for it.

Huh. Interesting. I don’t sweeten my tea, coffee or whipped cream for desserts, so I think my instincts were correct: Not for me!

@mypatronusismalec replied to your post: “This is a reaction to a post I’ve just read, but it is also something...”

Literally that. Sweetened iced tea. Down here I have to specifically order unsweet tea, otherwise I'll get sweet tea. I hate it, it's disgusting. A lot of places use some kind of a sweetened syrup to add the sugar to it.

If they give you sweet iced tea when you order tea... how does one order straight up hot, steeped tea. Or is that even a thing down South?

@jaded-idealism replied to your post: “This is a reaction to a post I’ve just read, but it is also something...”

It really is just sweet iced tea

So much dedication for tea and simple syrup. But then, my best friend will not touch a bagel that isn’t “Montreal-style”. And that baffles me too. I guess I am destined to confused by food trends the world over!! :)

What's also fun, is it depends where in America you are as to what the default is. Generally speaking, "the south" gives you sweet tea if you ask for iced tea. Elsewhere, it's unsweetened, or they'll ask your preference. Had a few experiences in Alabama last fall's vacation where stink eye was given when I requested unsweet. Sorry, babe. TII diabetic--keep your sugar and I'll keep my health.

Thanks for the suggestions. I also loved “Singing the Journey”. - HKVoyage

Singing The Journey by wintercreek

Blaine takes a job as Music Director at a Unitarian Universalist church to pay for grad school. Kurt is uncomfortable with this but finds his own way of fitting it into their lives. A story of liberal religion, complex relationship negotiation, family, music, marriage and a year in the lives of Kurt and Blaine.

The Goggles Do Nothing by lls_mutant

When you get right down to it, Burt and Carole are still newlyweds, and hardly celibate. But there are two kinds of people who never have sex: your parents and your children. When Finn and Kurt catch them at it, they're desperate to forget.

Woods Series by @flowerfan2

Freshly graduated from music school, Blaine is thrilled when he is chosen to stay in the cast when the production of Into the Woods he was lucky enough to be part of in Boston moves to Broadway. He knows it’s going to be hard returning to New York City – the scene of his epic breakup with his fiancé and the emotional meltdown which cost him his place at NYADA. But he’s determined that this time, everything will be different. Little does Blaine know that out of thousands of potential castmates, his director has chosen none other than Kurt Hummel to play the part of Jack. Blaine has worked hard to recover from their breakup three years ago, and struggles to find a new way to relate to Kurt and simultaneously protect himself, especially when tragedy strikes.

This story looks at what would have happened if Kurt and Blaine had reacted differently to the break up in 6x01 than they did in canon; if events hadn’t brought them back together as soon, and if forgiveness hadn’t come so easily.

Canon compliant through the end of season 5 (and the breakup as described in 6x01).
