Fic: "Until My Dying Breath", Chapter Seven: Part One -- Kurt/Blaine Vampire AU.
Thank you so much for still reading, everyone!! \o/ I'm terribly sorry to the people whose comments I haven't responded to yet -- I've been very busy with Uni, and have been prioritizing my fandom time into getting this written and posted as soon as possible. Rest assured, I will respond to all of them!
Thank you a million for letting me know ( Read more... )

And here Kurt is putting Blaine in the position of power when you'd expect him, as a predator, to want to dominate at all times. It's like he's trying to make Blaine more comfortable with the situation. He wants it to be as wonderful for Blaine as it is for him.
"The responses that could follow that particular question cannot be accurately summarized in a few sentences, and the fact that Kurt can’t guess - that he seems genuinely at a loss as to why Blaine could possibly be feeling this way - makes something small and unpleasant clench inside of him"
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT AND IT BREAKS MY HEART.
"Because Kurt is a killer, and Kurt is a lover. He is neither, and he is both: a quiet ruthlessness woven insidiously through with a gentleness that makes Blaine’s head hurt."
I love this because it's so Kurt. Even though this story is so radically AU, it's so true to the characters.
"Without another word, Kurt twists his hand through his curls, yanks him down, and buries his face in the side of Blaine’s neck."
The only thing I can think right now is: Oh my god, it's actually happening. Kurt finally did it. I am stunned and disturbingly turned on and I MUST KEEP READING.
I'm clutching the side of my own neck right now as I read this lsdafanbowdskfvnwagvnb I can feel sympathy pains, I swear to god. And then there's the undeniable SEXY HOT GAY VAMPIRE SEX part. Whimpering and drooling at the same time is awkward and difficult.
"...with Kurt on top of him, face tucked back into the curve of his neck and mouth pressed back against the wound. Not sucking, not anymore, but stroking over it in languid swipes of his tongue that slide along the skin wetly and collect the blood still trickling out."
Now I'm panting and drooling and fanning myself desperately because DAMN. I think my vampire kink just went up by about 400 percent. Also I may now have a bloodplay kink because HNNNGGG and when Blaine realizes he's tasting his own blood... God this is so fucked up but I love it (I seem to say that much too often when reading your fic hahaha)
I want Blaine to be a vampire so badly.

I can safely say that vampire!Kurt definitely owns an old record player. In the same way that canon!Kurt is nostalgic for things like the Spice Girls and Britney Spears, this Kurt is very nostalgic for the cultural aspects that he grew up with.
And yes, the chapter opens with Blaine lying on Kurt's chest. You're so, so very right in that there's a very strange, very darkly innocent quality to Kurt in some ways. He's simply lacking the tools and morals to fully understand what Blaine is going through or feeling and even though he can remember his own experiences, he can't fully relate to them anymore. I think that it's obvious that Kurt does feel something very strong for Blaine, even if it's not any kind of healthy human love in its current form. He feels that he's doing something good, and kind, and special for Blaine -- but Blaine simply cannot feel the same way, and it doesn't make sense to him. Everything you say here is just perfect.
It kind of breaks my heart to think that Kurt must have waited, and wanted, so badly and for so long, to find someone to be with. He may be a vampire but I'm sure that under his ruthless nature he's been lonely. <-- this is perfect.
Once again, this is just so damn INNOCENT! I'm not sure if I'm totally off track here but Kurt could have stripped Blaine and played with him while he was sleeping (I'm sure that kind of control would be exciting), but he just put Blaine to bed and cuddled with him! <-- OH MY GOD I'm sorry to just quote your own review back at you, but I wanted to say that YES YES YES you are PERFECTLY on track here. The way that Kurt arranges Blaine innocently against his chest, all his clothes still on, and waits for him to wake up? That's... that's sweet, in a very twisted way. You're so right about the innocence. BANG on.
The frantic anticipation you describe really, really is there though. You're not imagining it; Kurt's had to wait a LONG time for this, and even though he doesn't want to rush it he's very eager to start. But of course poor Blaine, who has no idea what's going to happen.
Also, asmdjhajkshdkjahsd thank you a million for picking that line out. The one about soft-focus snapshots, askjdhakjsdhkjasdh. That... might be one of my favourite things I've ever written, so it means so much that it really stood out to you!

He wants it to be as wonderful for Blaine as it is for him. <-- and then, of course, there is this aspect as well. YOU ARE SO RIGHT YES.
And oh, Kurt. :( He just... can't quite comprehend Blaine's feelings, a lot of the time. He doesn't have the ability to. Not anymore. But I absolutely adore that you can still see the Kurt in him, oh my gosh. Thank you, thank you, THANK you so much.
And yes, Kurt finally -- FINALLY -- bites Blaine here. And oh, how he's waited for this. I'm beyond delighted that the pain of it really came through, because I do think that's something that a lot of vampire media tends to gloss over. (You know, that being stabbed and having your blood rudely sucked out of you actually hurts like a bitch.) But at the same time, I'm so completely delighted that the sexuality and pleasure of it comes through as well. (When you mention enjoying the fact that Blaine can taste his own blood? Hnnnnnnngh, I never knew I had a vampire!kink either, but apparently I do because that line was SEXY to write.)
Thank you SO much for your detailed feedback, love! I'm so sorry for the long wait on a reply!
