Kurt/Blaine and Harry/Ginny recs
Glee
Second Hand News by skintightsocks (Kurt/Blaine, New Directions)
Tag for 2x19 "Rumours." All of New Directions ships Kurt/Blaine, and they all try to intervene when they think Kurt might be cheating on him. Blaine + New Directions is one of my favorite combinations in Glee fic, and this fic does a great job with that dynamic. Anyone who enjoys Klaine is probably already following skintightsocks, but they still deserve a mention.
Do You Believe in Magic by tamakito (Kurt/Blaine, Wes)
Wes was becoming increasingly convinced that Kurt Hummel was a Disney princess. All of the signs were there. Kurt had cartoonishly good looks. He had big, sparkling eyes; preternaturally amazing, poofy hair; skin like fresh-poured cream. He had a voice like a bell and used it to deal with his emotions through song. ... But the final nail in the coffin was Pavarotti. Kurt had a faithful, singing animal sidekick, and that right there was just not natural. This whole concept is hilarious, but it works because it's frighteningly true. :D
Your Heart on the Line by venus-aurea (Kurt/Blaine, AU)
Sam moves in next door to the mysterious Blaine Anderson, who throws parties at his mansion every Saturday in an attempt to reconnect with Kurt Hummel, who he hasn’t seen in four years. Yes, it's an AU based on The Great Gatsby! I really enjoyed this fic, and Sam's outsider POV worked especially well.
The Time Traveler's Heart by alishatorn (Kurt/Blaine, AU)
Blaine feels the tug in his gut, the slow/fast spin of the world as he tumbles out of his time and into another, landing in an awkward sprawl on the grass. He’s naked and shivering; the air is cold. Another literary AU, this one based on The Time Traveler's Wife. Beautiful and haunting -- get your tissues ready. The author is also working on a sequel, but it's currently a WIP.
Harry Potter
What's Cooking? by aggiebell90 (Harry/Ginny, Ron and Neville)
"So here's what we're going to do," Ron said. "We're going to host a dinner party. We'll invite all the old crowd so Harry can reconnect. Since he's obviously never going to make a move on Ginny, maybe he can find a girl out of that lot he doesn't have problems with." Light and cute, with friendship and Weasley shenanigans. :)
The Return by lyras (Harry/Ginny)
Voldemort is gone, but Tom Riddle is back - and his mission is to destroy Harry. Great adventure fic that fits perfectly with the tone of canon.
Some Things Are Best Left by curia-regis (Harry/Ginny)
Ginny's always trusted the world she grew up in; it takes Harry to show her the darker side of the wizarding world. I love the way this story treats the Wizarding World as inherently flawed, which we often only see hints of in canon, and Ginny's dawning realization is handled with a light touch.
