Summary: Kurt Hummel escapes from prison and goes to find his boyfriend, Blaine Anderson. Mob boss!Kurt AU, based off
this.
Review:
Just a short one this time! The mob boss!Kurt trope is one that I'm quite enjoying at the moment, and this wonderful fic has certainly contributed to that. While not particularly long, it tells a story, one that I would love to see explored deeper and closer in a longer fic. (Not that it's not done well here, it certainly is!) And yes, I'll admit it, it may have even influenced me into trialing some of my own mob boss ideas.
Kurt is not as dark as you'd expect, which is refreshing and holds well to his original character. Although he kills for a living, the only thing that matters to him above all else is Blaine, and my little shipper heart goes all a-flutter. Blaine, not in the mob himself, is not naive, but his love for Kurt shines through above all his doubts. This is a wonderful little fic and will certainly leave you desperate for more.
Like Scarecrows That Fuel This Flame We’re Burning (P.S. So sorry I've missed my last couple of recs! I broke my arm last week and have been struggling to type, please forgive me!)
