Warnings: sexual situations, language, slight Badboy!Kurt, some possible drug-use in later chapters…and the potential for the occasional plot hole. Also this is AU, but there aren't any supernatural creatures or anything of the sort. Just the harsh realities of the world. It also does relate to canon to a point, it veers off at a certain point in season 2, but I will not reveal where exactly because it will spoil everything if I do ;)
Disclaimer: I don't own
Glee. Sadly.
Genre: angst, drama, romance, AU, BadBoy!Kurt...kind of
Characters/Pairings: Kurt/Blaine primarily, slight Rachel/Finn, & Sebastian, with minor Brittany/Santana and other canon pairings and allusions to past love interests for Kurt and Blaine, (highlight to read as it is spoilery)
including Kurbastian (but nothing explicit, only allusions and references to). Also, Quinn and Artie make appearances. And Anderberry friendship.
Summary: At the advice of his stage director, Blaine decides to take a risk and live a little. But things get a bit more complicated when he's drawn to one man in particular: Kurt Hummel, whose past remains a mystery to Blaine. Together, they struggle to make sense of their attraction to one another.
Title from album 'The Tension and the Spark' by Darren Hayes. A/N: Ever listen to a song and suddenly get an idea for a fic? And then listen to
another song that cements the idea even further into your subconscious? Yeah…that’s what happened here. Two songs by the same artist that had the same theme: Darren Hayes’ “Let’s Go” and “I Like the Way.” “I Like the Way,” coincidentally, is also where the title comes from, specifically the live version from his Time Machine Tour...an absolutely gorgeous acoustic version...
Song lyrics will be used at beginning of chapters, but this is NOT a song!fic...they're only being used to illustrate meaning and allude to certain thing. :) Songs will primarily come from Darren Hayes' album,
"The Tension and the Spark" as well as his recent album
"Secret Codes and Battleships," but will also include some b-sides as well as songs from
his other solo albums. Also being used are a few songs, officially released or b-sides, from
Savage Garden's albums...
So, basically, anything Darren Hayes has written and sung on is fair game. Because he is my inspiration.
Also, the songs will be linked in the text if available online(4/12/12) The story has undergone a bit of a revamp resulting with Chapter 1 rewritten slightly while Chapter 2 has been rewritten extensively.THE TENSION AND THE SPARK
