As July 4th quickly approaches, many Kurtbastian fans minds wander to "A Change in the Weather" written by Cacphonylights ten years ago, which remains a WIP, but an amazing fan ending was written two years ago by @jwmelmoth and @daftydraw. I thought I'd post links to AO3 to help people find them.

A Change in the Weather ( Prologue- chapter 11) by Cacophonylights

A Change in the Weather (Chapters 12-22) by Cacophonylights

A Drop in the Ocean

An unofficial fan-sequel of A Change in the Weather (2012) by Cacophonylights. Kurt and Sebastian have decided to try dating for real, but it’s only the first step to becoming a real couple; there are challenges ahead that neither of them expected when they drove down to the beach house.

Glad You Came Verse

As Hurricane BLAM blows through Kurt and Blaine’s apartment, Kurt seeks refuge in a cocktail bar. It is here that he bumps into Sebastian. It seems at first glance that his old nemesis hasn‘t changed a bit. But Kurt has, and slowly, he starts to realise that maybe Sebastian has too.

Bildungsromance

Sebastian arrives in Ohio, fresh from Paris. Kurt's in his last year of high school at McKinley. They instantly hate each other. But what goes on underneath the surface, and what happens when they run into each other again in New York without Blaine in the picture?

It’s okay, I’m not crying you’re crying!

@jwmelmoth The level of detail in no 3. is amazing...you even added the ones we put in the notes?? 🥰 

Hi! I’m glad that you’ve found us and that you’re enjoying my blog :) 

I think that it’s important to tag content even on a whump blog because there’s so many different types of whump out there and people have all sorts of squicks and triggers so I just want to make it easy for certain content to be avoided and other content to be found. 

I usually tag all the tropes that a post falls under, such as stabbing, electrocution, torture... those kinds of things. I find that this can be useful for searching for tropes that you actually want to read about, so it’s not just about avoiding content but actively seeking it too. 

Then I have some tags that are specifically for triggers, like abuse tw (which is for anything that closely resembles an abusive relationship that could hit too close to home for some people), blood tw (on visual posts where there’s a depiction of blood) and death tw (for any depictions of death). It’s useful to make your own system of trigger warning tags that you use consistently so people can just put them in their blocked tags. I read that it’s helpful to put the tw after the term itself, so that’s how I’ve been doing it. 

10. Most disliked arc? Why? 

Covering main fandoms - where I have immediately identifiable and easily verbalised issues - here.

For Glee, urgh, so many. But most of all the overall “no one is allowed to move on from high school ever” arc spanning across seasons 4-6, culminating in the disastrous “kledding arc”.

For Harry Potter the “after being told I’m just like my dad - and not always being comfortable with it - for years I’m going full-on carboncopy and it’s totally great” arc and the “no Slytherins ever will stand up against a racist invading force who’d just as well kill and/or torture them because you know, they were labeled evil by a hat at age 11″ arc.

For Star Wars it’s the arc where the mass-murdering white boy with rape-vibes and a habit of both torture and trying to murder his every single family member is given a redemption arc and semi-gets the girl. Also the part where the actual male hero is sideline for this, because racism and wet fangirl panties.

19. What is the one thing you hate most about your fandom?

Shitheads who engage in death-threats, tell other fans they should kill themselves, harass actors and/or RP-ship outside of their own heads leading to uncomfortable actors and harassed partners. Also quite possibly to writers ruining things in order to avoid feeding the RP-shippers, but that’s seriously a minor issue.

24. Would you recommend XXX to a friend? Why or why not?

By JWMelmoth

For someone who enjoys hearing himself talk a lot, especially in company, Sebastian is actually a good listener when he wants to be. In the past, he used this to his advantage to pick up on other people’s discomfort; to push them harder and pick them apart just because he could. Now, he mostly uses it to know when to stay out of Kurt’s way; when to approach him with care; when to give him more (or less) of what he needs, and when to rush to his aid. He has specialised in being a Kurt-listener.

It starts on the first morning he stayed over at Kurt’s apartment.
