Summary: Blaine Anderson, baseball's next superstar, is loved by millions, but he's secretly on the hunt for his soulmate. It doesn't take long for that search to become public. Will he meet the mysterious Kurt Hummel before it's too late?
Notes:Written for beyond_dapper's Blaine Big Bang and prompted here on the Glee Kink Meme.
First off, thank you to the incredible women who run the Blaine Big Bang. It's been a pleasure finally getting something in for this challenge.
I'd been wanting to write soulmate!fic for several months when I came across the prompt on the GKM. It fit perfectly because, after Blaine and Darren, baseball is my love. I planned it out, all the way down to him being in either Atlanta or Boston, the rivals of both New York teams. In the end Atlanta won because a. the stigma of being an out public figure in the South made for quite an interesting story, and b. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and it scared me to do that and ruin my love for both. A few weeks after I began plotting and writing, basketball player Jason Collins came out. I knew right away that this story was going to be even more special.
There IS mention of character death that's…well. Cory's death changed a bit of the plot for me and in fact worked out in my favor.
Special thank yous go to my non-fandom friend Ashleigh, who deals with my obsessions and helps me work through everything, to stut_ter for encouraging me to write when I didn't want to write, and to Beth for stepping in late and creating the wonderful art for the story.
