summary: It's the summer of 1926. The Hummels, wealthy heirs of a family that found their fortune in steamships, are vacationing at their mansion in Newport, Rhode Island. Kurt longs for a summer romance, just like in the books he spends his days reading. It's summer and anything is possible.
author's note: So I live in Rhode Island and have always loved the mansions. So I do what I always do with things I love: shove Klaine in there and make an AU. Forever thankful to
Liz and
Alana. I suppose beta is the correct word, but they're so much more than that. So thank you! Title stolen from a passage in
The Great Gatsby. Come
visit on Tumblr for snippets and what not.
Also, I'm aware that this takes place during prohibition. While it was illegal for bars to serve alcohol, it was not illegal to drink alcohol in your own home (and besides, these people were so rich that the rules didn't really apply to them).
