Summary
A charming town in Vermont, a cranky cat, a fire, a bookshop.
All Our Firsts is the story of two men falling in love and their life together, one “first” at a time. Some are tender or silly, some are painfully vulnerable, other moments arrive before either of them is ready to name what’s happening, and some of them blaze.
Told in non-chronological order. Each chapter can be read on its own.
[AU: Firefighter Blaine. Bookshop Owner Kurt.]

Summary
Some people lose their voice in the world all at once. Others, little by little. It can be challenging to overcome that kind of loss. One of them has been torn into a sabbatical of silence. The other is parched for sentences that feel like his. But something happens when they meet at the Groves Art Center, where figures are drawn and quietude becomes invitation. What begins in stillness unspools into passionate awakening—with art and ache, with the language that lives between two people who don’t need to speak to understand. This is a love story told in glances and graphite, in margins and motion. A connection that redraws the edges of intimacy and rewrites their hearts from the inside out.
or
In a figure drawing class, two men discover that intimacy can be drawn long before it’s spoken.
[AU: Artist/Writer Kurt, Figure Drawing Model/Musician Blaine]This fic will be back to regular updates in March! Woo-hoo! 🍀

Summary
When a gifted teacup pig changed everything for their fifteen-year-old daughter with autism, Kurt and Blaine left the city behind to open Wonderland Teacup Rescue, a sanctuary for teacup pigs who outgrow their owners. Together with their three teenagers—Gwen, now seventeen, and the twins, Greer, and Grant, fifteen—they're building a home and a life that none of them expected.
Maybe the piggies weren’t the only things needing rescuing.

Summary
They were only meant to document the site, the heart of a cave, with relics older than known history. The light is dim, the air ancient, and something in the silence draws them closer. What begins as a shared curiosity spirals into something else entirely: a magnetic pull, a flicker of light between them, a closeness they can’t explain. As breath turns to touch and wonder deepens into want, they’re forced to confront what’s been building between them for months.
This wasn’t part of the mission, but some discoveries aren’t meant to be catalogued; they’re meant to be experienced and felt.[This story is inspired by the incredible artwork by Esilher titled “Magical Bond.”]

Summary
Blaine never expected to spend the night in a vampire club hidden unground with an entrance in a dead-end alley—but then again, he never expected to fall in love with Kurt either.
When his ancient, devastatingly seductive boyfriend invites him into the world of blood and velvet he used to call home, Blaine is prepared for drama, maybe even danger. What he doesn’t expect is how much he likes being shown off. Or how quickly the power starts shifting in his favor.
A night of fangs, flirting, feral affection, and a proposal he’s not sure he can refuse.

Summary
Their love story started in preschool—with a book and a promise of snacks—it’s still going strong more than twenty-five years later. Now, married and thriving, they’ve just moved into a new luxury apartment with soundproof walls and finally all the privacy they could dream of. What starts off as a morning of howling and giggles with just one more kiss, and maybe one more, and just one more—quickly turns into a not-so-great day once Kurt arrives at work. Good thing Blaine always knows just what to say, even if their texts keep dropping. Sometimes love can get you through, even when you're apart. Well, that, and New York City's finest firefighters showing up, aren't a bad bonus.

Summary
Years ago, Kurt and Blaine had it all—until they didn’t. Young and in love, they married too fast, divorced too painfully, and moved on in the only way they knew how: separately. Time passed. They each married again, but those marriages came and went, quieter endings this time. Two years later, now in their early thirties, they’ve been talking again—texts at first, then late-night phone calls, the kind where it’s easier to blurt things they don’t mean to say aloud, but are the truths waiting to set them free. When a song stirs something raw in Kurt, he makes a call that changes everything. But this time, they’re not boys playing house. They’re men choosing each other, with eyes open, hearts bared, and a real understanding of what “I’m never saying goodbye to you” really means.

Summary
When Kurt and Blaine are paired for a singles match at their country club, neither expects much more than a good workout and polite banter. But from the first handshake across the net, the spark between them is undeniable: charged, surprising, and impossible to ignore. As the match unfolds, it might just turn into an invitation to brunch and then lunch and then...forever?

This is a Dom/sub story with Dom!Blaine and sub!Kurt. It explores the emotional side of this type of relationship more than the physical (although, it’s there!). Please make sure you read the tags. This has an age gap and a student-teacher relationship (Spoiler alert! Nothing really happens while Blaine is his teacher except a profusion of delicious mutual pining for each other).★UPDATE: The expansion is now complete!★

Summary
Kurt Hummel is a twenty-six-year-old Broadway star and a returned Mormon missionary, who is having an epic crisis of faith. Elliott Gilbert is his co-star and best friend—the kind who holds space, makes you feel safe, tells the truth, and kisses you right smack on the mouth when you need it most.
They aren’t each other’s always. But they are each other’s becoming.
Some stories are about falling in love. Others are about the people who help you believe it’s possible.

Summary
Journalists Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson are no strangers to a challenge, but when they're given a chance by their editor-in-chief, Isabelle Wright, to cover an elite couples retreat, they find themselves in an unexpected predicament—neither of them has a partner to bring. The solution? Attend together and play the part. It’s just an assignment, after all.
But as they navigate the retreat’s exercises—exploring trust, intimacy, and vulnerability—boundaries blur, and the line between fiction and reality fades. Was this all for the magazine scoop, or have they been writing their own love story all along?
