Are you planning another big bang? Is my favorite time of the year :)
Unfortunately, over the last couple of Bangs, we’ve seen a huge decline in numbers to the point where there are very few people participating. I also haven’t been able to get anyone to help me run the bang, so I don’t think the Kurt Big Bang is feasible from this point forward.
I love the Kurt Big Bang, but I don’t think I’ll be able to run it again or that there is the interest to justify it.
Soooo, it’s finally here! My posting day has arrived, and here it is- my fic for the Kurt Hummel Big Bang!
A huge thank you to the mods, my beta Linds ( @vampiredaries84 ), and my AMAZING artist Cat ( @gaazhagens ). There’s a more extensive note on AO3 before the fic. I’ll have a link to the entire fic on AO3 below, along with each chapter posted here on tumblr. :D
Title: Trifecta (AO3)
Rating: E
Paring: Kurtbastian, Sebklaine
Summary: Kurt and Sebastian have been friends and lovers since the start of high school. Competing Glee clubs, an enemy romance… it was all so Romeo and Juliet. They knew everything about each other, so it was no shock when Dom Sebastian claimed sub Kurt as his own. It also wasn’t a shock when Kurt started acting out- at least, not for Sebastian, who always thought there was something more to his fiery quote-un-quote submissive. It seems only natural that Kurt’s more one-in-a-million than they knew, and fitting another puzzle piece into the mix? Well, that isn’t quite a shock, either…

Summary: As a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), Kurt Hummel can easily ignore the fact that he’s gay. The other missionaries have boorish habits that make them totally unappealing to Kurt’s romantic sensibilities. But three months before the end of Kurt’s post-high-school missionary service, the higher-ups assign Kurt to live and work with a new companion: the kind, charming, and devastatingly handsome Blaine Anderson. This is the story of their first day working together.
A continuation of my Kurt Hummel Big Bang fic from two years ago, this is the oft-requested sequel to The Way I Was Made.
Burt Hummel is a Baptist pastor. Kurt is Kurt. Who knew having a kid could be so hard?
Many thanks to @lallagoglee, who made this beautiful cover art for the series. I am floored by both her talent and her generosity as she came in at the last minute and pinch-hit this out of the park.
Also, I could not have finished this without the cheerleading of the lovely Kate (@anxioussquirrel) and Rachel (@marauder-in-warblerland), who spent their time reading, coaching, encouraging, and kicking my ass, always with the right words at the right time. I am blessed to have such amazing friends.
And the MVP of the fic goes to Tonks (@tonks42), who read through it all more than once to beta and fix my comma errors. Why can I find them in everyone else’s work but my own? She spent her Friday afternoon and Saturday morning in between holiday parties reading my fic for the bajillionth time because I am a nervous Nellie.
Without further ado-
On his first morning at Dalton Christian Academy, Kurt Hummel walked around gaping, in awe of the grandeur and majestic architecture and art. He walked up a marble, spiral staircase with an elaborate, wrought-iron banister, shined to perfection. Above his head was a circular skylight, made of tinted glass and similar iron-work to the railing. His mouth dropped open time and again when he spotted wooden paneling in the classrooms, leather couches in the commons areas, and tapestries hanging above marble-tiled floors, when there weren’t frescoes painted directly on the walls. Some of the art showed scenes he recognized from the Bible stories and studies he had done growing up in Sunday School. Others were completely unfamiliar.
Kurt wandered closer to one of the paintings on the wall, one of a scene he didn’t recognize, running his fingers over the varnished surface. At the bottom was an engraved, brass plaque that read “This replica of ‘The Trial of the Apostle Paul’ was donated by Charles Lindbergh in memory of the seven Warblers injured in the accident.”
It was culture shock compared to McKinley High School, where his father had made no headway in stopping the bullying and abuse he took daily, despite being the pastor of the largest church in Lima.
His first class, World History, was significantly more challenging than any class he’d been in before. He’d never experienced anything like the Socratic seminar he’d just sat through. At McKinley, his teacher was more likely to throw a movie on and spend the class period checking his e-mail. Here at Dalton, apparently it was expected to not only know what a West African Sudanic Empire was, he was supposed to be able to discuss its similarities to and differences from the Mongolian Empire and do it without notes.
His head was spinning as he followed the student body as they streamed downstairs. Everyone was buzzing excitedly about something, but Kurt didn’t know what was going on at all. He turned to the first friendly face he saw – a dark-haired, brown-eyed boy that passed him on his way down the stairs.
“Excuse me, I’m new here.”

Summary: So for three years now, they’ve been doing this. This admittedly weird friendship that toed the line into unknown territory more times than he can count. Kurt had always assumed it was one-sided and unrequited.
But none of this explains why Sebastian attacked Kurt mid sentence by smashing his face against his. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Artist Note: I had the pleasure of making a fanmix and cover art for this fun romp of a Kurtbastian story. Thanks to the author teardopfires for letting me read it while it was a WIP. I’m excited to check out the completely version now. =D

Author’s note: Yay! My annual declaration of love to my favorite pairing ever is complete(ish). Thanks to @kurtbigbang for making it all happen. This fic is the start of a much larger Hollywood AU that I have planned, so I hope you guys like it!
Shout out to @klaineitupanotch for this awesome title art and this killer fanmix.
Kurt’s living a shell of a life in NYC, cursed to be constantly surrounded by restless ghosts. Since he can’t do the things he actually wants to do, he starts to deliver messages from the afterlife.
My second contribution for the 2016 Kurt Big Bang ( @kurtbigbang). This time around I was paired with the lovely @flowerfan2 , who gave me the funny and sweet story, ‘Hot for Teacher’ to play with. Be sure to read it here, and pass on your responses to her.
Summary: When dreamy new orchestra director Blaine Anderson shows up at Mountain High, an arts school near L.A., Kurt doesn’t plan on having much to do with him. Kurt just wants to keep his head down and do his job, heading up the choral program and making sure Rachel doesn’t go overboard with her drama students. It’s hard enough admitting that he needed a break from his acting career without adding failed romance to the equation. But when even Rachel succumbs to Blaine’s charms, Kurt decides to see for himself what Blaine is like.

Written for the 2016 Kurt Hummel Big Bang. Many thanks to the talented @47mel47 for creating this amazing trailer - I want to watch it over and over. Here’s the link so you can give her some love directly. And thanks as always to my dear friend and wonderful beta @perryavenue without whom this fandom life would not be nearly as much fun.
Chapter 1
Kurt figures he must have missed the email in the flurry of back to school activity. But as he files in to the first teacher orientation meeting of the year, shuffling around the circle of chairs to make space for several late arrivals, Rachel is quick to fill him in.
“There’s a new orchestra director. Easy on the eyes, isn’t he? Although apparently he hasn’t taught high school before.”
Kurt leans forward and looks down the row, but the athletic director is blocking his view. All he can see is that the new teacher is wearing bright red pants and boat shoes. “Did Mr. Cortez retire?”
Rachel nods. “Sort of. I think Sue kicked him out. Something about not showing sufficient respect for her royal highness.”
“She’s not royalty, no matter what she says. I checked.”

Summary: After Kurt graduated from high school he left behind his family and friends to take his chances with the big city. Big dreams and sheer gutsiness were always enough to get him through in Lima, but this is New York City, and he’s going to have to up his game. Will he be able to find a path to his dreams? Opportunities and relationships will bring him to the edge more than once, but what he learns and what he chooses may surprise everyone, including himself. (Almost) canon-compliant through season 3; an alternate version of Kurt’s first year in NYC, and what he found there. A companion story to “I Kissed a Girl” Written for the Kurt Hummel Big Bang 2016
Warnings: canonical death of Finn Hudson
Author’s note: This is a companion piece to “I Kissed a Girl,” which follows Blaine through his senior year. I hope you’ll read that one first, but if you choose not to, here are the things you need to know: it closely follows canon except that Blaine is bisexual; Kurt and Blaine still started dating at the same time, and this story begins in the summer after Kurt graduates from high school.
This is Kurt’s story.
This is my contribution to the KHBB 2016. I hope you like it :-)
I saw this “Kurt gets trapped in a painting” prompt on the Prompt a Klaine fic blog and really couldn’t resist. So here’s another fairy-tale Klaine fic from me to you, with love ♥
Thank you to my wonderful beta @hkvoyage, who stuck with me through two story switches and encouraged me and offered ideas for the continuation of this story whenever I got stuck. Thank you for your tireless support and for putting up with my procrastinating and poor time management. You rock!
This story is enhanced by the beautiful art of not just one, but two artists. @lallagoglee made the cover art, and @mypopculturesummer made the chapter art. Thank you so SO much to the both of you! You’re amazing!
I’m dedicating this story to @sunshineoptimismandangels. Enjoy, sweetie!
In loving memory of Josée Gardin, my “Grace”. I miss you.
My first contribution for the 2016 Kurt Big Bang ( @kurtbigbang), of which I was so very lucky to be paired with the one and only @spaceorphan18. Not only was it great to be working with someone who I have been getting to know through various endeavours on here, she has created a beautiful story that was a joy to work with. Make sure that you read it, through her masterpost and on AO3, and pass on your responses to her.
Summary: After finding that living together is proving to be too difficult, Kurt Hummel breaks off his engagement, and finds himself alone in the city that summer. As his life heads in a new direction, Kurt’s forced to look back at the past, and re-examine his future, where he learns a little about himself, a lot about love, and that second chances are always a possibility.
Set at the end of season 5, a canon-compliant story that examines the question – What was Kurt’s journey between season 5 and season 6?
After five months of working on it, I present to you my Kurt Hummel Big Bang story! I hope you guys enjoy! <3

A/N: Written for the Kurt Hummel Big Bang 2016
A shout out and a deep thank you to @multsicorn for her inspiration. The story would have remained a sketch and an idea if she hadn’t encouraged me to write more, and help me work out the details of what the story should be. Those long, late-night talks made this story what it is.
Much appreciation and love for my betas: @damnpene, who forced me to be diligent and careful, and not let me take shortcuts – thank you my dear for not sugarcoating anything, while being kind, thoughtful, and helpful in all your remarks. @snarkyhag who is a consummate cheerleader and inspiration, and not afraid to tell it like it is – thank you for holding my hand through my first smut. You’ve both helped me craft a story I’m very proud of, and have made me a better writer because of it.
The lovely and talented @47mel47 created a trailer for the fic. I highly recommend you check it out before reading!! My story is set in the cracks of canon, and she was able to brilliantly come up with a fanvid that represents everything the story is. I can’t thank her enough.

Summary: Glee club is certainly not Kurt’s idea of a good time, and having to sing a duet doesn’t make it any more appealing. Blaine’s firm insistence on school assignments being important doesn’t really help either.
A/N: Written for the Kurt Big Bang 2016. Kurt and Blaine assume they’re straight at the beginning, and there are instances/mentions of them having sex with girls. Other than that . . . well, I’ve wanted to write a longer skank!Kurt/nerd!Blaine fic forever and this is it.
Kurt set his mug on the coffee table, peeled himself out of the chair, and went to hug his brother. “I’m sorry.”
Finn’s arms rose around him and gripped tightly. “I’m sorry too.”
“Are you in a hurry to catch your flight? Or can we get some breakfast before you go?”
Finn’s face lit up like sun peeking through clouds. “Breakfast sounds really nice, little brother.” He mussed Kurt’s hair and Kurt feigned offense as he dodged and swiped Finn’s big hand away.
“Hey, no, not the hair. Shame on you!” But it didn’t matter because now they were both trying to stifle giggles. “Fine,” Kurt decided. “I’ll wear a hat so you don’t have to wait for me to fix my hair.”
Finn nodded approvingly.
“You’ll be the death of me, little brother!”
Holding on to things that make me happy – I’m so excited to share my KHBB fic with you guys soon. So, here’s a teaser for you :) (The first person talking is an OC.)
“Relationships aren’t meant to be perfect. They’re meant to be hard. The messy parts are how you know it matters.”
“Well, maybe I want to preserve those good memories and be rid of the rest.”
Ben frowns, he doesn’t seem to understand. “I’m sorry, Kurt.”
“Well…”
“Do you miss him?”
Kurt doesn’t reply, only faintly smiles into his drink.
Every fucking day.
With Every Broken Bone – post date December, 2nd. I’m very proud of this work – I hope you check it out!
A little thing I couldn’t resist writing in the scene where MormonMissionary!Kurt meets MormonMissionary!Blaine for the first time, but ended up having to cut. The person who speaks at the top is Blaine.
“Next thing you’re going to tell me that you have every back issue of Vogue since 1892.”
Kurt looked at Elder Anderson. Was he making fun? But no. His expression was completely earnest. Hopeful, even. Besides, he had named the correct founding date of the magazine. No guy would learn that just for the sake of teasing someone. “No, I’m afraid to say I put most of the pocket money I earned in high school toward my mission. So I only own select issues going back to 1968.”
I post part 1 of the Mormon!Klaine saga (which is part 2 of the Mormon!Kurt saga) on Dec. 12 as part of the Kurt Hummel Big Bang. Yikes!
