Summary: In the future, Kurt and Blaine try out a simulation that allows them to meet each other for the first time again and again and again.
Here's all their "first" meetings.
Notes: Hello, hello, hello! Welcome to my Gleecember fic. This is just me writing a bunch of separate meet-cutes and putting them in one fic with a sort-of-overarching story. I initially planned this idea for the Klaine Advent, but that sadly came to an end. I wrote an introspection about my time with the Advent. I am grateful for all the years with that challenge.
Luckily, the Glee fandom is still around, and a new challenge has arisen. But this is a new challenge, so new rules! I don't know if I will do all the 31 prompts. I have a prologue, and epilogue, and a whole lot of meet-cutes as a middle, but I don't have enough for all 29 (yet?).
Still, I am excited to write this, and I hope you will enjoy.

SURPRISE
âExcuse me? Um, hi, can I ask you a question? Iâm new here.â
âMy nameâs Blaine.â
âKurt.â
--
âIâm so happy I met you all those years ago.â
Blaine reaches for Kurtâs hand.
Kurt smiles.
âI am too.â
Itâs led to all of this. This life worth living. Kurt and Blaine did it: they grew old together.
Theyâre both old and grey and sitting on a porch, watching the flowers bloom. Theyâve both retired after a prolific career in the arts, they raised amazing children, and are the âbest grandads everâ according to their grandchildren. Theyâre living long and fulfilling lives filled with warmth, hardships, love and all the other life stuff. And they did it side by side.
Oh, how would their lives have gone if they hadnât met that day at Dalton Academy, all the way in 2010?
âAlthough, I canât help but wonder what wouldâve happened if we had met in a different way,â Blaine says.
Kurt raises an eyebrow.
Blaine looks alarmed.
âI am not saying I regret anything, love! I wouldnât trade our reality for any other.â
Kurt lets out a laugh.
âI am not thinking you are.â
You can be curious without wanting to change things. Kurt gets that.
âOh. Good,â Blaine relaxes, âBecause⊠I may have a surprise for you.â
A surprise? Kurt searches his memory for an occasion, but he cannot think of one. Knowing Blaine, heâs doing this just because he can.
âYou know how Sam and Mercedesâs kid is really into these simulation services these days?â
âYes.â
Kurt and Blaine have seen a lot of rapid technological changes in their lifetimes. They were born in a time before the internet was common in households, and now the simulation service is all the rage. These days, you can take trips into a simulation. It used to be a luxury, and nothing more than an extension of the basic VR from back in the 2010s, but in the past few years, this has become more accessible to people. Itâs seen as a form of wish fulfilment. You get to experience things you otherwise never wouldâve experienced. And it feels real. Itâs as if you really get uploaded into the worlds.
What does Blaine have in store? Why is he bringing this up now?
âSam told me that thereâs a new romance simulation!â Blaine says excitedly, âHe and Mercedes already tried it. It lets you live out different first meetings with your partner!â
âLet me guess, you want us to do it?â
âPlease?â
Back when they were teens, Kurt would often talk about Blaineâs âpuppy eyesâ. Thatâs how the look on Blaineâs face can be best described.
âI would like to meet you, in any scenario that is out there. Again, I would never want to redo our actual first meeting, but it sounds fun to try this.â
It does. And the simulation makes it so that it doesnât erase what actually happened.
Kurt squeezes Blaineâs hand.
âYou know what? Letâs do it.â
--
Kurt and Blaine ask Sam for the address of the place where his son works, and they book an appointment. It takes a few days, since, again, simulation services are the biggest hit of the year, but since theyâre retired, they manage to get a morning weekday spot.
When they enter the building, theyâre greeted by an old man.
âMr. and Mr. Hummel-Anderson?â he asks kindly.
âHow did you know?â Kurt asks.
â⊠Youâve made an appointment,â the man replies.
Right. Of course. Blaine chuckles.
After Kurt and Blaine sign some paperwork, confirming that they are aware of the fact that whatever is about to take place is nothing more than fiction, they are led to a separate room. There are two comfortable chairs with some sort of headgear next to them on a table. The man explains that this will allow them to enter the Love Journey simulation, which is a tacky name.
âThey are wireless these days, like everything,â the man hands one of them to Blaine, âBut rest assured, theyâre still connected to the main system. You can talk to me whenever you want. You can ask me to pause if needed, or turn it all down. I wonât be in the simulations with you, since that is a breach of privacy, but just know that you can ask me to interfere if you wish.â
âI though that we wonât be realising weâre in a simulation,â Kurt asks.
Thatâs part of the selling point. Itâs supposed to feel real. This is partially why they had to sign the documents, acknowledging that once they leave the simulation, they accept that what has happened was fictional.
âThe mind is powerful,â the man says, âIf something goes amiss, you will know. But that rarely happens these days. Still, the communication feature remains just in case.â
âAnd⊠you will be conducting the Love Journey?â Blaine asks.
Itâs clear that he is. No one else is here, and heâs the one explaining everything. But Kurt gets why Blaine asks it. This man seems like heâs as old as Kurt and Blaine. They had expected a younger person, since this is something the newer generation is gagging after. Most Conductors are in their 20s or in their 30s.
âYes,â the man, the Conductor, answers, and as if he understands their doubts, he adds: âI have been working in the simulation field back when simulation was nothing more than Metaâs flopped Metaverse. I did not work on that one, though.â
That makes sense. Just because itâs new to Kurt and Blaine doesnât mean itâs new to everyone.
âNow then, gentlemen, are there any more questions?â
Kurt and Blaine have none, so they follow the Conductorâs instructions and sit down. Kurt also gets one of those headsets.
âAlright. Commencing Love Journey in one⊠two⊠threeâŠâ
The Conductor keeps counting, but slowly, Kurt and Blaine lose track of the count. They feel themselves slip into something else.
âSee you on the other side,â Blaine manages to say, before they fall unconsciousness.

End notes: Back when I thought there'd still be an Advent, I was doubting whether I should create an overarching story, or just post 21 (or 24) separate stories. Of course, once I come up with something, the Advent stops. I didn't want to let go of the overarching story, but like Kurt and Blaine, all meet-cutes feel "real", as in, they stand on their own. All to say that the overarching story won't be that strong throughout the fic. But it's there, and in the epilogue, you will see why.

Hello, shippers & readers, we're back at it again with yet another of our voted and majority-chosen reads.
This time we, once again, found ourselves revisiting a very dear-to-our-heart fandom classic: Ghouls in my head, Fires Underground, a skilled surgical dissection into the experience of the "and they were roommates" trope with a heaping dose of an emotional cross-section of these two men trying to navigate sexuality, intimacy, and trust as written by the very talented liminalweirdo.
When we say that there were tears, yells and even at times speechlessness, we're not exaggerating. This fic was a hot and gorgeous study in a reader's reaction to being confronted with a reality where two people fit in all the right ways but insecurity, social cues and anxieties keep them at odds-- which is perhaps why our discussion excerpts are longer this time!

Summary: Shane ends up living at Ryan's and really, it's no big deal. Until it is.
Book Club Thoughts
I always know when it comes to this author that we're about to get long descriptions of either boys' psyche and the depth of feeling is always going to get uncomfortably close to home
it's almost strange that this was written in 2018 because it feels like a 2021 fic and then suddenly you hear an off detail and it's like, damn, how did they so perfectly capture their neuroses even back then. really impressive
i think this is the first fic we've done in some time that just sits us down and makes us vicariously experience the discomfort of deep insecurities and anxieties that come with being queer and in love with your best friend
There's something universal in there - of settling and not realising you are until you see what you could have 'cause the strung up glass is pretty and probably fun but god imagine having the whole window to look at. Glass fragments don't keep out the rain! The window does!
[the author's] metaphors though. Her prose gut punches but not in a sequential fashion. She gets you comfortable, at ease with exposition and dialogue that's snappy and real and rhythmic then she goes in
The author writes truly poetically and beautifully. The way Shane is described always pulling back and having trouble opening or saying what he really wants and how it always breaks down when he is around Ryan.
for me, this fic like, set a tone for what friends to lovers could be. the descriptions are incredible, especially when we get down into it, and there's so much introspection on either side
When we were doing the live read for the first chapter, we were talking about how good the dialogue is in this fic - and it really is excellent
I think it actually fucking rips me apart how incredibly beautiful it is when Ryan says heâs willing to take the time to make sure sex is pleasurable for Shane
i thought the pov switching was unbelievably adept
the nice...symmetry perhaps of them both having that family relationship. and they've reached a point by then when they are ready to open up emotionally about the real stuff and what's realer than family
there's a lot going on and a lot to think about, but it all sort of boils down to the magnetism and how they try to fight it, and eventually just snap together
I think itâs one of the most realistic characterization of Shane Iâve seen seen even thought a lot of fics get him right. But this one just feels so close for some reason? Ryan being the one that pulls him through is just chefs kiss

A shift in equality caused a change in the dynamic between Alphas and Omegas. With the emergence of Alpha woman, the hierarchy reflected as such. Alphas began to mate with Alphas, simply using Omegas for their respective heats and ruts.
They were seen as play things. As a means to an end. As anything but equal to an Alpha. It had been this way for the past hundred years, society punishing Omegas for bringing out the worst in Alphas.
It was an Alpha world, and Sakura was just living in it.

Take my past and take my sins by @thekatthatbarksâ | Complete | M
Sakura narrowed her eyes at him, not wanting him to play it off like he always did. Her hands came up to his face. âYou look like you havenât slept in months, Kakashi.â Before he could respond, her hands went down to his waist and she tugged at the hem of his pants. Unsurprisingly, there was slack. âAnd youâve lost weight.â
âSakura ââ Kakashi started, grabbing the hand that was at his pants.
A thought crossed her mind, making her blood go cold as she realized. She cut him off with a glare, âYou picked up the mask again, didnât you?â

The Taste Of Fire by @alienwritesstuffâ | Ongoing | M *
**Hogwarts AU** Like a moth to the flame, Kakashi couldn't seem to stay away from her. He knows it's wrong, knows it's too dangerous. But, he's drawn to the fire. And fires like these tear the whole world apart.
Aposematism by @youngjusticewriterâ | Ongoing | T
Pretty things were dangerous more often than not. They had to be.
Donât you know that the world has a tendency of yanking beautiful things up and leaving them to slowly die wherever they were taken to?
Dear fellow traveler by youngjusticewriter | Ongoing | M
âYouâre thinking too much. Let me make you stop,â Sukea offered and, yes, his voice was different but Sakura liked it even if something about it made her mind inch.
âOkay,â she agreed before closing her eyes. She didnât want to (see the world, she just wanted to wake up to find out the mission had been a bad dream) see Sukea and think on the things that she kept picking up on from him. All Sakura wanted was to be Chinami who was just a traveler just like Sukea was. A traveler who didnât have peopleâs lives slip through her hands because she wasnât good enough.
Destroy the middle, itâs a waste of time by youngjusticewriter | Ongoing | T
(Youâre not good enough to keep working; you canât endure like others do. Youâre too young. Youâre supposed to just wait around until your teammates get back because those who abandon their teammates are worst than scum.
And Sakura wanted to laugh despite the loneliness that had dug itself into her skin, and had made her bleed, so not to be shaken off.
They left - they left and now it was just her so why should she wait until they got back? She wasnât a piece of cake that could be discarded.
Sakura had wanted Sasuke and now she wanted to be better in serving her village. Her crush, her teammate, refuting her didnât stop her chasing after him even though she should have respected his choice. What was their opinions, strangers opinions, compared to that?)
Then I burn, were the words Sakura wanted to spill out from her tongue, to spew out as though they were poison she studied and used, and I get up from my ashes.
Donât slam the door, Sakura thought as paws pressed into her hand as though to hold it. It (having to pay for another door) wouldnât be worth it.
(Don't) lay me to sleep by youngjusticewriter | Ongoing | G
Sakura doesnât need defending though.
Sakura smiled at the girl, because thatâs what Ami is and what Sakura hasnât been since her dreams started, with tired eyes (with eyes too old because thatâs what happens when your soulmate is a jonin with a pretty painted mask).
You got to choose before the choice is pulled from you by youngjusticewriter | Complete | G
Kakashi didnât greet her with an apology, a lie, or even with a hello. (He wasnât too for gone that he had neglected himself to point he couldnât sense her coming.)
Thatâs okay because Sakura doesnât smile up at him, she doesnât (lie) promise everything is going to be okay, nor does she greet her husband like she would have this morning if he wasnât already out of the house. Sakura didnât even take one of Kakashiâs hands into her own and give it a small squeeze in comfort, in a subtle way to remind him she was still here. No, instead Sakura exhaled the breath she had been holding in and it doesnât remove the heaviness she feels in her chest.
âYou need to come home.â Sakura doesnât ask for him to do it for her even though Sakura had too lost their child. (Weâre not dead, Sakura wanted to yell, and if you continue to keep your company with them, with the dead, then one day when you do come home we might just have become the company you prefer to keep. We might just become the dead you idolize because you were too late in life to realize how much your loved ones meant to you.)
Ceremonial by youngjusticewriter | Complete | T
With bloodied lips and sharp canines Kakashi smiles at the sight - itâs only for a night after all. In the past he had tried to shove it down, had never voiced that sin unlike the others (so many others) to the tombstones of his fallen comrades, but heâs dying now. He can have it just for a little bit. The air is hard to breath in, its too cold or maybe heâs too out of breath, and thereâs clothe from his destroyed mask in his bloodied mouth but thatâs okay. Itâll be over soon.
Twisted fingers - Kakashi could actually see a bone poking out of one - reach up to touch but itâs too late.

Summary:
The great history book of Kaedwen details the life of the people in the court of Ard Carraigh. Sabrina Glevissig was one of them. In the beginning, they describes her as bright and pure as a goddess, shone like the light of a candle in the blackest night. She always supported the soldiers and tried to draw misguided ones on to the path of righteousness. Yet seems like they were blind to the light. It is written that they nailed her to a wheel. The brave knights of Kaedwen pierced her slender hands and throttled her narrow waist with a rope as the king laughed and encouraged his men to mock her. As the flames licked the wood from the pyre that was readied beforehand, their sneer and mockery turned into trembles because the fire would not accept her. Unmindful of the heat, the king himself scaled the flaming wood and pierced her heart. Thusâ marks the end of the fierce daughter of Kaedwen forest.
History as she has grown familiar with many years of seeing it unfolds, often contains half-truth, pieces of vision of some mere unknowing observer, not of those from the main subject of the passage. While it is correct that the day was her final battle, her end was not.
