A Near Misses Fanmix
So to begin with, I have to say that this mix is pure indulgence for me, filled with my own favorite blend of indie-folk-pop. It's also a hell of a lot longer than I usually like my fanmixes to be. I'm going to blame the amazing length and depth of the story for that, because I couldn't bring myself to cut it down to a smaller, more reasonable track number.
Moving on, this is a fanmix for the amazing story, Near Misses, a lengthy and gorgeous Glee fanfiction where Kurt and Blaine did not meet in high school, but instead run into each other while in college in New York City. In no way does that do the story justice, but I think you should probably just go read it instead.
I can not say enough good about Near Misses. flaming_muse is a stunning author, and I highly recommend anything she's written, but this story in particular is my absolute favorite piece of Glee fanfiction, no contest. I tried to follow the overall flow of the story, so some songs reference specific events, whereas others stretch whole chapters. (I honestly have a word document where I've matched quotes from various chapters with lyrics from all the songs. If anyone's interested, I'll gladly post it, but it seemed obsessive and unnecessary, so for now I'm leaving it out, in an attempt to appear less crazy. It's now posted over here for your viewing pleasure!) Hopefully it's enjoyable! I love feedback almost as much as I love making fanmixes for things. <3
