Title: Frame-Up: Expertise, Quality & Great Design
Pairing: Kurt/Blaine
Rating/Length: G / ~2,250
Summary: Kurt is a high school student in Lima working a part-time job at framing store in the local mall, counting the hours until he graduates and gets the hell out of town, when Blaine comes in with a slightly embarrassing photo to frame.

Read on AO3

Kurt really doesn’t care much about the fine art of picture framing, despite his current part-time job at Frame-Up, the framing store in the middle of the Lima Mall. And he doesn’t particularly care about the fine art that goes into the frames either. Sometimes it’s fine art, other times it’s $10 prints of celebrities, movie posters, or terrible vacation photos he has to pretend are masterpieces for his overly proud clients.

Title: Until I Wake Up
Pairing: Chris/Darren
Length/Rating: ~1300 / PG
Summary: Darren can’t quite remember what he did for Halloween, but Chris can.

Read on AO3

When Darren wakes up, his mouth tastes like dirty socks, his head feels like it’s clamped tight in a vice, and his entire body hurts. Hungover then. He blinks sawdust from his eyes and tries to sit up, only to end up groaning loudly as every vertebra in his back pops and cracks and realigns under protest.

Title: Return (Me) To Sender
Pairing: Chris/Darren
Rating/Length: G / ~2,800
Summary: Based on this old Tumblr post.

Read on AO3

Chris almost doesn’t even check the mail that day. It’s a frigid and dreary day of dark grey skies and freezing rain. The weather is no real excuse not to at least put his slippers on and shuffle downstairs to the lobby to get his mail, but he doesn’t want to. The poor mail carrier has to trudge through this miserable winter day; all Chris has to do is get on an elevator.

Title: Skål
Pairing: Chris/Darren
Length/Rating: 2,230 / PG
Summary: Born of this anon ask I got a few weeks ago. This probably isn’t what they were hoping for.

Rum & Coke

Chris is 19 and does not care that he’s teased mercilessly for his drink of choice. He didn’t grow up in a house that gave out sips of wine at holiday dinners and he’s always had something of a sweet tooth. Coke with a little splash of rum is the perfect way to take in alcohol without really tasting it, which, at this point in his life, is all he wants.

Title: Departure
Pairing: Chris/Darren
Rating/Length: PG / ~4,000 (total)
Summary: A meeting on an airplane in three parts.

Read on AO3

Part 1 - Departure

The seat is bigger than Chris anticipated, and feels more like a some lawyer’s overstuffed business chair than anything on an airplane.

Chris finds his seat belt and watches the other passengers shuffle slowly, despondently towards coach. Normally he’d be shuffling along with them to the cheap seats in the back, but not this morning. This morning he’s up front.

Part 2 - Layover )

Title: Surge
Pairing: Chris/Darren
Length/Rating: ~1,350 / G
Summary: Quite simply: a meet-cute in an UberPool

Read on AO3

Darren just wants to go home. Rehearsals for the reading the next week had been a bitch that day; some of the songs weren’t coming together and too many of the actors had early outs that were fucking with the schedule. There’s not much Darren can do about it though – he shows up at his call time, knows his parts, and just hopes that this reading might be the one to lead to something more.

Pairing: Chris/Darren
Length/Rating: 1,225 / PG
Summary: Three ways it can be.

AN: The quote Darren thinks about for himself is from Richard Siken’s short prose piece Black Telephone.

In another life, we’re happy.

Sundays are for sleeping in. Darren has a matinee at 3pm and Chris never has meetings on the weekends.

Chris’ next book tour kicks off too soon and Darren will have to part with him for too long. He can’t follow Chris around the country like he wants to; he’s got eight shows a week and not enough time between. But he’d be happy to leave the oppressive summer heat of New York City behind for a few weeks of gallivanting around the country.

Title: Prix Fixe
Pairing: Chris/Darren
Length/Rating: ~2,800 / G
Summary: Chris is famous, Darren is not. They meet at a restaurant. I’m great at summaries.

Read on AO3

Darren knows exactly who he is the moment the man walks by his table – Chris Colfer, movie star. Darren would recognize him anywhere. Tall in a blue shirt and grey tie, Chris strides by Darren’s booth without even glancing at him before taking a seat at a two-top near the back. He sits with his back to the rest of the dining room, even though it means he can’t see someone approaching him. He pulls out his cell phone while he waits and doesn’t fidget at all.

Title: Drop It Like It’s Obvious
Pairing: Chris/Darren
Rating/Length: G / ~1,200
Summary: A belated birthday gift for Katie.

Read on AO3

In hindsight, Darren should have seen it coming.

Chris likes to bake and is a good hand at it, but he tends to stick to the handful of recipes he’s already proven adept at. Darren is intimately familiar with Chris’ chocolate chip cookies, his banana bread, and his pecan pie (which Darren sometimes convinces him to add bourbon to, on special occasions). There have been other attempts along the sliding spectrum of success: key lime pie, misshapen eclairs, and croissants that used up more butter than Darren had ever seen before in his life.
