Complete Klaine rec list
This is just a list of all the fic that I've read and enjoyed immensely so far in this pairing -- most of which I have already recced elsewhere on my journal. However, I figured that it couldn't hurt to have a comprehensive list in one place. :3
NB: LJ has eaten this on three different occasions, now, but I think I've recreated the list successfully each time. If I'm missing things -- I could have sworn I had a 30k+ category, but I can't for the life of me figure out what was in it -- please let me know so I can fix it! :&

Blaine is a master of fitting in. After all, he's gone a year and a half at McKinley without anyone realizing that he is gayer than a treeful of canaries. Then he sees Kurt Hummel and, suddenly, fitting in isn't everything it was cracked up to be. PG-13
All I See Is You by skintightsocks

En Guarde by byham_rory
Finn's more observant than people give him credit for, because he totally knows something's up with Kurt.
