When bullets start flying at a routine hand-off, Puck takes the bucket and runs, enlisting Kurt as his unwitting accomplice in a search for a way out of a seemingly no-win situation. Now Puck and Kurt are running for their lives, dodging gangsters and feds, crossing out names on a list of the Midwest’s vagrants, and living by one simple rule: whatever you do, don’t open the bucket.

Word count: 17,339
Summary:Johann "Kurt" Hummel is the prodigal student of the ultimate prodigy, Mozart. He's a good composer and an even better pianist, but when the time comes to write a piece in honour of his old master, he's stumped. To make matters worse, he's got competition in the form of Noah van Puckerman, who never met Mozart but seems to be able to channel him in his compositions. Puckerman says he just wants to help Kurt do his piece justice, but Kurt's seen too many musicians betrayed to trust him. Too bad Noah isn't getting the message.

Singing Naked on a Dark Empty Stage
Author: kennagirl
Artist: emilywritescrap
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Romantic comedy
Warnings: Mild language
Word count: 16,379
Summary: Rather than work on individual senior projects, the non-performance majors of the Everman University Theatre Department lobbied to work together on a single project: complete production of a musical. Of course, with minimal faculty supervision, drama is bound to happen. The director is prone to meltdowns, sound and lighting clash in a battle of wills, and something is going on between the costume designer and the publicity manager.

Author: patchfire
Artist: naryakiuxen
Rating: R
Genre: Historical AU
Warnings: period-typical racist and homophobic attitudes and implied language; references to troubling historical events and violence
Word count: 36,993
Summary: In the years between 1966 and 1969, the United States is changing. Still, in Lima, Ohio, the smartest thing a young homosexual can do is keep his head down, go on chaste dates, join the football team, and not speak too loudly about his politics. He can also hope that he might find someone else to share his secret with.

We Can't Even Think of a Word that Rhymes
Author: scarletjedi
Artist: emilywritescrap
Rating: R
Genre: Supernatural, crossover, casefic
Warnings: Supernatural-level violence, minor character death
Word count: 36,500
Summary: Sequel to How I Spent My Summer Vacation (and Other Myths). Kurt and Puck return to Lima from their summer learning to be Hunters with the Winchesters and have some trouble adjusting to "normal" life. It doesn't help that Blaine still transferred to McKinley and is causing them grief over the direction of the glee club. At least the upcoming benefit concert will give them a chance to bring the Winchesters to Lima. Of course, when the Winchesters are involved, nothing is ever easy...

We Were Made Tender Together
Author: knittycat99
Artist: lunaticaa
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Romance, friendship
Warnings: Canon-compliant character death; non-graphic discussions of domestic abuse against adults and children; mentions of teen pregnancy and adoption.
Word count: 22,659
Summary: Kurt is a trainee with the Joffrey Ballet in New York, but his dreams lie in another city. Noah Puckerman is a music student/street musician who doesn’t let himself dream because dreams are expensive and he doesn’t have the capital to spare.

When All These Stars Hit Ground (they'll wake us)
Author: gala_apples
Artist: raving_liberal
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Rom-com
Warnings: Some Puck/OMC, underage sex
Word count: 26,105
Summary: Puck has tried to come out and failed about a hundred times over the last two years. Only a misplaced foot and a handful of coins have him actually following through in the summer between sophomore and junior year. Still, in Puck's mind being gay doesn’t matter unless he’s got someone to be gay with. Kurt Hummel fills the ‘also gay’ role quite well, so might as well fool around with him. It’s not until it’s almost too late that Puck realises he has feelings for Kurt, and that friends with benefits doesn’t cover everything he wants.
