Fic: Where There's Smoke Klaine AU [10/12 + E]

Author: Stoney
Title: Where There's Smoke [10/12+]
Rating: Fer Errbody
Pairing: Kurt/Blaine, Wes and David friendship, mentions of former Finn/Rachel
Word Count: 6800/100,000
Warnings: Kurt finally hangs out at the fire station. Guess what happens? (Be prepared, my firefighter daughters, for intense situations)
Summary: Fireman AU, set 7 years after graduation. Kurt is Kurt, except that he never met Blaine Anderson. Blaine grew up in Brooklyn with his mother and firefighter father. Rachel and Kurt have graduated NYADA, Kurt gained a Masters from Tisch, and now they're in their first post-college apartment together ready to tackle their dreams. Unfortunately, Rachel never learned how to properly cook and almost sets their new house on fire. Enter Dreamy McFirepants.
A/N: This wouldn't exist without the most amazing editor a person could ask for, flaming_muse. Any remaining errors fall squarely on her my shoulders. :D Also, I am ultimately a romantic, I don't like character death, I love writing happy endings, and Kurt and Rachel live in my dream place in Carroll Gardens (it's modeled after a real piece of real estate there.) I tried to be as accurate as a visitor to NYC can get, but did take a few liberties with neighborhood bodegas.


( Kurt worked into the late hours of the night, making up for lost time. He hadn't stopped to give Rachel a full report when she came home, just held his cheek out for her kiss then promised her more tomorrow. He had even switched his phone to mute to keep from being distracted. As a result, when he woke up the next morning he saw several frantic texts from Peter )

Links for you + NEW: LJ FIX!!

First, Sam posted her recap of Sherlock Holmes last night on HDJM, and if you're wondering if you should read it, I'll help you: yes. You loved her Captain America and Thor recaps, so you'll love this one, too.

ION, yesterday, I drove 40 miles into town to go shopping with my sister and knock off the last of my x-mas purchases. And guess who has two thumbs, a sinus infection and no wallet? THIS GAL. Awesome. Truly a spectacular moment in my life. DERP. We still had lunch, so that was nice. Also, she bought it for me, which is extra nice. HEY I ARE YER BIG SIS THAT IS DUM FANKS. I this many *splay hand*

The Mr. and all of his male family members left this morning for a hunting trip (read: poking sticks into a fire and drinking scotch) until Friday so it's a perfect time to do nothing and let my leg hairs grow. I MEAN GET EVERYTHING READY FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

(You know that really just means watching movies and doing nothing, right? Right.) Jeez, I need breakfast. Come over and make me eggs, pls. I'll repay you in booze and smiles.

ETA OMG, I hate the new comment look. HAAATE. Also, I lost my default of Dystopian, and it wasn't showing up in journal options, and my comments were in my fancy journal look, not the basic Dystopian white background, nice comment titles. SO HERE'S HOW I FIXED IT:

1.) Go here: http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/?cat=display ADD TO THE URL: &usescheme=dystopia HIT SAVE AT THE BOTTOM LEFT.

2.) Click on JOURNAL STYLE at the top of your screen.

3.) Click on CUSTOMIZE YOUR THEME

4.) Scroll to "Disable custom comment pages" and select YES. SAVE CHANGES.

Worked for me, I have no idea if it will for you, but it's worth a shot. ETA 2: Now I've lost the ability to have "parent" to threads! So...I can have nice, huge open threads on white, or I can hit parent. FFFFFFUUUUUUUU. I just made a dreamwidth. I'm Stoney1. JUST IN CASE. (Tell me who you are, if you're over there, even if you think I should already know.)
