Summary: Kurt is in New York, finally but he’s not at NYADA with Rachel.
I have done more research for this than anything else I’ve done but there will still be holes in my information and some things I don’t really feel I needed the specific information, also I may be using more of the official information which may not be the actual perception
Tomorrow he’s moving to New York for his new beginning, he hasn’t been this nervous since he auditioned for New Directions in his sophomore year.
Kurt is starting at Tisch on Monday taking Drama; Music Theatre. He didn’t get into NYADA with Rachel, she was getting that dream and he was going to be in that city with her fighting his way to the top. He was strong; he made sure he had a backup plan. A backup plan he thought incredulously with a soft chuckle, he had more than one other option for September. He still wasn’t sure that performing was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life; he loved it but was it his future? He applied to design school as well. He had been accepted into Columbus College and Parsons for design, as well as getting into Elon University in North Carolina for Musical Theatre as well as Tisch. Once he got the letters from Tisch and Parsons he knew where he was going, New York had been his dream for too long to let it go. He actually deferred his admission to Parsons for a year1, thinking that he might change schools next year depending on how the next 10 months go for him. Another thing that was making him anxious was that he was not going to be living with Rachel, as they had been talking about for the past months. Burt had convinced him that he needed to stay in dorm for at least a year. He was ecstatic when he found out that not only was his dorm right off Broadway but he had been placed in the New Studio: Music Theatre and Acting program for his Professional Training for the next two years, if he stayed at Tisch. The New Studio was RIGHT on Broadway.
His nerves were tempered by Blaine’s absence and Burt’s presence. He and Blaine have agreed to try and make their long distance relationship work. Blaine is still at McKinley, for another 5 months. Kurt is thankful that Blaine’s extra credits from Dalton helped him graduate early.2 He can’t imagine how he would cope with 10 months of separation. Thinking of Blaine keeps him subdued because he misses him, Burt on the other hand has always been a calming influence on
Kurt. As he thinks this his father steps up beside him, and puts his arm around his shoulders. They’re standing outside his dorm, looking up at the building where he will be spending the next 10 months
“You made it! You’re here. Go live your dream.” says Burt, stepping through the door with a box under his arms. Kurt looks around at the city, smiles and follows his father inside.
1. A few people I know in different programs have deferred their education for up to a year.
2. I actually graduated 5 months early from High School; it is completely possible especially in the semester system.

Summary: Kurt is in New York, and so is someone else.
AN. I’ve changed the timeline; imagine Chosen happens in Kurt’s final year of high school.
New York? Everyone else was going to these new places, these exotic, exciting places and she was stuck in the states? Granted, Giles is in Cleveland keeping an eye on the new Hellmouth and Faith and Robin are rounding up new slayers around the country but it’s not the same. Willow and Kennedy are in South America, Xander has opted to go to Africa and Buffy, and well she’s having a little trouble coping with not being the only one anymore. Though she hasn’t actually been the only one for more than 5 years, not since she drowned in The Master’s lair. She doesn’t know how to connect with anyone now; she’s taking some time off and figuring out who she is when she’s just Buffy. For some reason she can’t do that with Dawn around.
“Wow I’m depressing.” Said Dawn out of the blue, earning her a strange look from the older woman sitting next to her on the plane from Cleveland.
At this point Dawn decided that it was time to make the most out of this, forced exile to the east coast. She comforted herself with the fact that she was still going to be able to help the Council. She was studying Anthropology-linguistics and History, Giles had pulled some strings with some of the remaining council contacts and she was going to be auditing most of the courses for Religious Studies. Anything that would help the council and the slayers. They’d offered her some time to relax and enjoy being off the Hellmouth but she wanted to be useful. She’d spent enough time in the last year fighting against her destiny and her family. She knew, when Buffy tried to get Xander to take her away from the final battle in Sunnydale, that she never wanted to be useless again. She knew she could never compete with the slayers for strength but she was going to be the best watcher there ever was. She knew how slayers thought, she knew how to deal with the H&H’s, well not deal with but... She knew how to keep the fridge for the slayer metabolism the only problem was keeping her hand out of the junk food.
Lost in thought soon she was getting out of the cab at her new residence. She tipped the driver and looked up at Brittany Hall where she would be living. She started wheeling her suitcase up the stairs; suddenly the wheel broke, sending her toppling into an older man walking down the stairs.
“I got ya” said the man in his flannel shirt and baseball cap, catching Dawn around her upper arms.
“Thanks”
Once she steadied herself he reached out and grabbed her suitcase “What floor?”
“The 7th floor” Dawn said, embarrassed “I can get it”
“Nonsense!” he said “I think I can make one more trip up these stairs. Which room?”
“Thank you, it says 708S”
“My son’s your neighbour.” He says as they reach the 7th floor. “Are you moving on your own?”
“Yea my sister’s staying in Rome for now and the rest of my family is scattered around the globe” Dawn answered unsure how to explain the Scoobies.
As they made their way down the hall Dawn took back her suitcase and an immaculately dressed young man came out of suite 7.
“Dad,” he said exasperated, “you were supposed to go sit in the car. I was going to meet you there. What about your heart!”
“Kurt, I met your new neighbour” he said completely avoiding the issue of his heart.
“Hi, I’m Kurt Hummel”
“Dawn Summers”
I made Dawn a lot sadder than I planned it.
For those who don’t know the H&H’s are the hungry’s and horny’s that slayers experience after slaying.
I know Brittany hall was closed for the 2012-2013 school year. Also it shows on nyu(.)edu that Brittany is not a Freshman hall but one site did say that it had been a Freshman Residence just go with it, I liked that it was on Broadway. Also they walked up the stairs because there were no free elevators due to the massive amount of people moving in.
