Come join us in our first annual Fuckurt Big Bang!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Due to the size and length of the GleekMods-run Out With A Bang, we have decided to combine two of our other long-running Glee bangs, the Puckurt Big Bang and the Pinn &amp; Kinn Big Bang, into a single multi-ship bang. The Fuckurt Big Bang is a writing challenge focusing on the relationships between the characters of Noah Puckerman, Kurt Hummel, and Finn Hudson from the television show Glee. Stories may be about Pinn, Kinn, Puckurt, or Fuckurt. Authors will complete stories of 10,000 words or more over the course of four months, and these stories will be paired with artwork in a variety of media created by artists.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Everyone is welcome to sign up, whether you&apos;re new to fandom and fanfiction/fanart or are a previous participant in the PKBB or P&amp;KBB. More than anything, this big bang is a fun opportunity to write something different and to challenge yourself!





&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</description>

  <title>The Time We Do Have</title>

  <description>&lt;b&gt;Title:&lt;/b&gt; The Time We Do Have&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rating:&lt;/b&gt; NC-17&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Character(s):&lt;/b&gt; Puck, Kurt, Rachel, Quinn, Carole, Burt, Will Bailey (West Wing), Finn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pairing(s):&lt;/b&gt; Kurt/Puck, Kurt/Puck/Finn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Warnings:&lt;/b&gt; Canonical Character Death, Grief/Mourning, post-5x03&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Authors’ Notes:&lt;/b&gt; The playlist for this story can be downloaded &lt;a href=&quot;http://storyof3boys.livejournal.com/168571.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;Many thanks to david-of-oz for an even better than usual editing job (and his usual is miles above most people&apos;s best). Additional thanks to separatrix and gleennui for their initial read-throughs of this work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Word Count:&lt;/b&gt; 38599&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary:&lt;/b&gt; In May, Puck mails a birthday card. Opening a dialogue with Kurt allows both of them to finally grieve and begin to heal, even if it doesn&apos;t exactly help them start moving on. Their new ways to manage end up including each other, for better or for worse, as they build their life around a three-person relationship with only two people in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://archiveofourown.org/works/3153446&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Time We Do Have&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>Help Finding A Fic!</title>
  <author>kcowgirl</author>
  <link>https://puckurt.livejournal.com/1756307.html</link>
  <description>I&apos;ve been searching all over the place and can&apos;t find this fic and would love some help.  I know my description probably isn&apos;t the best but hopefully someone recognizes this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was probably written a few years ago and was a fantasy serial killer au.  I can&apos;t remember the names of the type of people Kurt and Puck were but Kurt was looked down upon by society for what he was and Puck&apos;s type was sort of the masters of Kurt&apos;s type.  Kurt&apos;s type all had numbers associated with them and Kurt&apos;s number was one of the higher numbers that there was.  Basically Kurt&apos;s type all had some sort of psychic ability and were hired by police and things for jobs.  There was a serial killer who was killing Kurt&apos;s type going up the numbers and I remember the police hired Puck/Kurt and Santana/Brittany.  Brittany was also of the looked down type and her ability was she could channel memories of the serial killer while Kurt could channel the victim&apos;s.  If this sounds even remotely familiar to anyone please help me find this fic!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Kayla-</description>

Their decision to wear shoes inside so Nathan could recognize them was both a help and a hindrance. It helped at moments like these when Noah couldn&amp;rsquo;t sneak up behind him and force him into a difficult conversation, but sometimes Kurt cursed his dress shoes that clacked against the wooden floors and signaled his approach so Noah could hide his ill-fated reading material.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, georgia, &amp;apos;times new roman&amp;apos;, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: normal; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, serif;&quot;&gt;Kurt stepped away from the bookshelf and opened the door, stepping into the hallway as Noah was metres away. &amp;ldquo;Hey,&amp;rdquo; Noah greeted, hesitantly, his gaze flickering to the door to the study. &amp;ldquo;Everything okay?&amp;rdquo; Noah spoke as if were a startled animal, and Kurt&amp;rsquo;s mind instantly flashed back to the beginnings of his studies in psychology before he&amp;rsquo;d dropped it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, georgia, &amp;apos;times new roman&amp;apos;, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: normal; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Everything&amp;rsquo;s fine,&amp;rdquo; Kurt replied. &amp;ldquo;Just putting something away.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, georgia, &amp;apos;times new roman&amp;apos;, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: normal; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, serif;&quot;&gt;Noah nodded, but Kurt knew that Noah didn&amp;rsquo;t believe it. Noah opened his mouth, before closing it again, obviously deciding against whatever he wanted to say. Kurt relaxed slightly. &amp;ldquo;I got called in for a shift tonight,&amp;rdquo; Noah finally said. &amp;ldquo;Will you be alright here on your own?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, georgia, &amp;apos;times new roman&amp;apos;, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: normal; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;ll be perfectly fine.&amp;rdquo; Kurt replied, walking past Noah without another glance. He could hear Noah sigh, before silence reigned until his hesitant footsteps echoed loudly through the house. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, georgia, &amp;apos;times new roman&amp;apos;, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: normal; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Try to get some sleep,&amp;rdquo; Noah said after a few long minutes of silence, entering the living room behind Kurt. &amp;ldquo;And have something to eat.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, georgia, &amp;apos;times new roman&amp;apos;, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: normal; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, serif;&quot;&gt;Kurt didn&amp;rsquo;t say anything, disappearing into the kitchen after a moment. Soon there are more footsteps before the front door shuts loudly. Kurt began to open the kitchen cupboards, dismally realizing there are only a few tins of canned food most of which don&amp;rsquo;t look edible. He knew the fridge only held something similar, so he gave up and made himself a coffee, the movements automatic. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, georgia, &amp;apos;times new roman&amp;apos;, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, serif;&quot;&gt;He sat on the lounge, nursing the coffee as he sat in silence. He wasn&amp;rsquo;t sure how much time had passed, but eventually the front door opened and he pulled his gaze towards it. He was mildly surprised to see Nathan step inside, and mildly happy, but he knew nothing good could come from it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, georgia, &amp;apos;times new roman&amp;apos;, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, serif;&quot;&gt;Nathan froze as soon as he realized Kurt was nearby. &amp;ldquo;Kurt,&amp;rdquo; he greeted, looking away instantly. &amp;ldquo;I didn&amp;rsquo;t think you&amp;rsquo;d be here,&amp;rdquo; he said. Kurt wondered briefly where else he&amp;rsquo;d be and Nathan seemed to follow his train of thought. &amp;ldquo;Well, I didn&amp;rsquo;t think you&amp;rsquo;d be here,&amp;rdquo; He tried again, gesturing at the lounge. &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;ll be gone in a minute.&amp;rdquo; He added, although Kurt already knew that. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, georgia, &amp;apos;times new roman&amp;apos;, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, serif;&quot;&gt;Nathan disappeared from the room, returning a moment later with a small bag. Kurt thought about saying something, but his tongue is heavy in his mouth and his head is pounding with exhaustion. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, georgia, &amp;apos;times new roman&amp;apos;, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, serif;&quot;&gt;Nathan paused by the lounge, which is something more than he usually does. &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;ll be studying film at NYU,&amp;rdquo; he said, running a hand through his wavy, brown locks. &amp;ldquo;They don&amp;rsquo;t have many blind directors,&amp;rdquo; he laughed bitterly. &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;ll be back to get my stuff, but after that&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; He trailed off. &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m moving to New York.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, georgia, &amp;apos;times new roman&amp;apos;, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, serif;&quot;&gt;Kurt closed his eyes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, georgia, &amp;apos;times new roman&amp;apos;, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: &amp;apos;palatino linotype&amp;apos;, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Have a nice life Kurt.&amp;rdquo; Exhaustion overcomes Kurt, and he lies down on the lounge.

  <title>looking for a fic</title>

  <description>I am looking for a story I&apos;m pretty sure I read on Ao3 a while ago. I&apos;ve looked and googled everything I could think of but have had no luck. What I remember is Puck was turning his life around so he could see Beth more. He went to Kurt for help with his classes. They fall in love of course. Shelby has a car accident and unfortunately dies. She left in her will that Beth was to go to Puck and Kurt together. Oh and Quinn was a little crazy in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to anyone who can help!!!</description>

  <description>Hey all! I haz question! And I know this probably isn&amp;#39;t allowed but I&amp;#39;m desperate!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does anybody actually read or go through the Puckurt Fic Finder and actually help people find fics anymore?? I ask because I&amp;#39;ve been trying for a LONG time to find a couple fics and have made a post on the fic finder, and in glee fic finder meme and absolutely no one has answered it at all.

He was even less prepared for the infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the subsequent rocketing of Agents Hummel and Puckerman into field work, with a vague assignment from Agent Melinda May: protect the asset. The problem is that Asset 309C-FCH [Codename: &quot;Feels&quot;] doesn’t even know he’s an asset.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wordcount:&lt;/b&gt; 54303&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://archiveofourown.org/works/2113560/chapters/4611153&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: The Asset by patchfire &amp; raving_liberal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.imgur.com/9DMs0Hj.png&quot; fetchpriority=&quot;high&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Title:&lt;/b&gt; Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: The Asset Coda&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Author:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span  class=&quot;ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-type-P     &quot;  data-ljuser=&quot;patchfire&quot; lj:user=&quot;patchfire&quot; &gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://patchfire.livejournal.com/profile/&quot;  target=&quot;_self&quot;  class=&quot;i-ljuser-profile&quot; &gt;&lt;img  class=&quot;i-ljuser-userhead&quot;  src=&quot;https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo_v8.png?v=17080&amp;v=924&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://patchfire.livejournal.com/&quot; class=&quot;i-ljuser-username&quot;   target=&quot;_self&quot;   &gt;&lt;b&gt;patchfire&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp; &lt;span  class=&quot;ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-type-P     &quot;  data-ljuser=&quot;raving_liberal&quot; lj:user=&quot;raving_liberal&quot; &gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://raving-liberal.livejournal.com/profile/&quot;  target=&quot;_self&quot;  class=&quot;i-ljuser-profile&quot; &gt;&lt;img  class=&quot;i-ljuser-userhead&quot;  src=&quot;https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo_v8.png?v=17080&amp;v=924&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://raving-liberal.livejournal.com/&quot; class=&quot;i-ljuser-username&quot;   target=&quot;_self&quot;   &gt;&lt;b&gt;raving_liberal&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pairing(s):&lt;/b&gt; Puck/Kurt/Finn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rating:&lt;/b&gt; R&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wordcount:&lt;/b&gt; 1885&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary:&lt;/b&gt; Three guys sharing an apartment together, and one of them has the ability to project his emotions.

The characters of Glee belong to Ryan Murphy and Fox Television.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Summary:&lt;/strong&gt; Kurt Hummel is a young werewolf just trying to survive high school. As the son of the pack leader and a gifted male capable of bearing children, he is coveted by the other werewolf boys. However, it is the human bully, Puck, who is there in his time of need. Because it is taboo for a wolf to mate with a human, Kurt and Puck battle their attraction to one another until something neither of them expected draws them together again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A/N:&lt;/strong&gt; This story was originally written as an RPG, which explains any shifty POV&amp;rsquo;s. This chapter is not beta read.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On&lt;a href=&quot;http://adarkerheaven.livejournal.com/57321.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; LJ&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On &lt;a href=&quot;http://archiveofourown.org/works/402404/chapters/4591860&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;AO3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/article&gt;</description>

The Pinn &amp; Kinn Big Bang is an annual writing challenge focusing on the relationship between the characters of Noah Puckerman and Finn Hudson and/or Kurt Hummel and Finn Hudson from the television show Glee. This is a two-ship combination bang, and authors may choose to write for the Puck/Finn ship (Pinn) or the Kurt/Finn ship(Kinn). Authors will complete stories of 10,000 words or more over the course of three months, and these stories are paired with artwork in a variety of media created by artists who claim the stories based on summaries.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Everyone is welcome to sign up, whether you&apos;re new to fandom and fanfiction/fanart or are a returning participant. You don&apos;t have to be a fan of both Pinn &amp; Kinn ships to participate! We hope that this combination bang will provide an opportunity for writers and artists to participate in a bang for their favorite ship(s) which may be too small to support a full-sized bang on their own.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Sign-ups begin on &lt;b&gt;July 20th&lt;/b&gt;!




&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</description>

  <title>I need whump!Puck</title>
  <author>silvergirl09</author>
  <link>https://puckurt.livejournal.com/1753779.html</link>
  <description>I want stories where Puck is physically and/or emotionally hurt, but also where he is more submissive in the relationship, (I enjoy top/dom!Kurt in this pairing). It can be any rating, from everyone to explicit, with anything in plot such as abusive family, abusive sexual relationships, ext. Anything goes at this point, I&amp;#39;m interested in some good short or long stories, so please rec away.</description>

The triad verse is an alternate universe (AU) where humankind has developed to normalize triads (relationships consisting of three individuals), rather than couples. Couples can and do form, but they are considered &quot;incomplete&quot; relationships. In most versions of triad verse, couples are unable to marry, but triads are allowed to marry. Bisexuality is also normalized, while monosexual people are less common and more marginalized. You can find more information on triad verse &lt;a href=&quot;http://triadversebang.livejournal.com/2674.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#4b072c&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt; here&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;black&quot; face=&quot;verdana&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Authors will complete stories of 10,000 words or more over the course of three months, and these stories are paired with artwork in a variety of media created by artists who claim the stories based on summaries. Everyone is welcome to sign up, whether you&apos;re new to fandom and fanfiction/fanart or are a returning participant to any of our big bangs. Any and all ships are allowed, especially all those OT3s you&apos;ve been dying to write! Sign ups begin &lt;b&gt;May 15th, 2014.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://triadversebang.livejournal.com/4281.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;verdana&quot; color=&quot;#4b072c&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Author Signups&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://triadversebang.livejournal.com/4521.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;verdana&quot; color=&quot;#4b072c&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Artist Signups&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://triadversebang.livejournal.com/3502.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;verdana&quot; color=&quot;#4b072c&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;FAQ&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://triadversebang.livejournal.com/4009.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;verdana&quot; color=&quot;#4b072c&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Guidelines&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://triadversebang.livejournal.com/3754.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;verdana&quot; color=&quot;#4b072c&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Schedule&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(posted with mod permission)</description>

The Quick Big Bang is a writing challenge focusing on the relationship between the characters of Quinn Fabray and Noah Puckerman from the television show Glee. Authors will complete stories of 10,000 words or more over the course of three months, and these stories are paired with artwork in a variety of media created by artists who claim the stories based on summaries. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Everyone is welcome to sign up, whether you&apos;re new to fandom and fanfiction/fanart or are a returning participant. More than anything, this big bang is a fun opportunity to write something different and to challenge yourself!

Just fun, no strings. But being totally casual isn&amp;#39;t as easy as it looks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #333233&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;A/N:&lt;/b&gt; So, yeah, it&amp;#39;s been a while. My life turned quite upside down last year -much was lost and more than a few tears shed. I continued to write through it all, just didn&amp;#39;t feel ready to post. But then Kurt sang I&amp;#39;m Still Here and you know what? So. Am. I.&amp;nbsp;So, I offer my apologies for the long wait, my thanks to those who waited, my gratitude to all those who sent messages of encouragement and pleas for more, and my heart in the form of Chapter 28. &amp;nbsp;  &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Ladies,&amp;rdquo; Mr. Schue implored.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;She pushed me!&amp;rdquo; Rachel shrieked.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;You pulled my hair!&amp;rdquo; Quinn yelled back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;That was an accident.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;You accidentally grabbed my ponytail and yanked it?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;It was swinging in my face, I was just trying to get it out of my eyes,&amp;rdquo; &lt;/span&gt;Rachel sniffed.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;Kurt hitched his legs up over the seat in front of him and watched yet another battle scene unfold between Rachel and Quinn.

Mercedes giggled, Tina cooed and Kurt swallowed a sigh. His best friend was crazy about a boy who was crazy about her and he was thrilled for her. Sam treated her like the precious jewel that she was and Mercedes was giggly and glowy and adorable, and it warmed his heart to see his girl so happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It did.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;Okay, maybe it also hurt just a teeny, tiny, little bit because not so long ago he had been that besotted. He had gazed into the eyes of a beautiful boy and had the rest of the world fall completely away. It felt like ages ago but in truth it was only a little over a month. He knew the exact number of days but he was refusing to acknowledge it anymore. Refusing to wake up each morning and start the day with the tally of how many weeks, days, hours since he&amp;rsquo;d broken up with Noah. &lt;i&gt;Puck.&lt;/i&gt; He was not going to become one of those bitter, angry people so mired in their own tragic past that they couldn&amp;rsquo;t enjoy someone else&amp;rsquo;s present happiness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;i&gt;Saam&lt;/i&gt;,&amp;rdquo; Mercedes giggled beside him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;He was trying not to become one of those people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;He stifled another sigh and tried to focus on the smack down on stage. It was much less of a smack down now and more just two teenage girls trying to hide their battered hearts and bruised egos behind a mask of indignance and indifference and doing a terrible job. He glanced across the auditorium to see how Finn was handling it, since angry, sad Rachel and Quinn was something he had never been able to handle well. Part and parcel of why he had dated both of them long past their expiry date. He seemed to be doing okay though, goofing around with Artie and Mike and only darting the occasional uncomfortable glance at his exes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;A few seats away from them were Brittany and Santana, giggling, heads bent together over a screen. And then down a few more rows, off to the side were Lauren and Puck, slouched down in their seats, sharing earbuds and playing air guitar along to whatever song they were listening to. Without warning the memory of a lazy Sunday afternoon in Puck&amp;rsquo;s bedroom materialized in Kurt&amp;#39;s mind. Puck, shirtless, in low slung jeans, dancing around playing air guitar and Kurt, leaning against the headboard, watching him and laughing at his antics and falling just a little bit more in love. In the dark auditorium, Kurt closed his eyes for a moment, although he honestly wasn&amp;rsquo;t sure if it was to chase the memory away or see it more clearly. This was the hardest part now, the random memories that sprang up out of nowhere. Sometimes they made him smile, sometimes they made his heart skip a beat, sometimes they punched the air out of him and he had to grab hold of something and &lt;i&gt;breathe, Kurt, just breathe&lt;/i&gt;. But at the very least they didn&amp;rsquo;t make him cry anymore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Hey, Gidget.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;He was startled out of his reverie by Santana dropping into the seat beside him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;He let out an irritated huff. &amp;ldquo;Kurt.

She would show up at his house and drag him bodily out the door if she had to. He also knew it wasn&amp;#39;t just for Brittany, although he was pretty sure that if Brittany asked for the Hope diamond, Santana would be downloading specs of the Smithsonian in a heartbeat &amp;ndash; and seriously, how long were they all just going to pretend that there was nothing going on there?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;I don&amp;#39;t know, Kurt, maybe for as long as they pretended there was nothing going on between you and Puck?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;Okay, valid point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, Kurt knew better. Santana had been a strange source of comfort to him over the past few weeks. Texting him at all hours, showing up at his house with DVD&amp;rsquo;s and ice cream, even tagging along with him to the tire shop after school. She had been quite a hit at the shop, sashaying about in her Cheerios uniform and flirting mercilessly with the guys until poor Brad almost dropped a car off the hoist and Kurt had to drag her out of there before someone got hurt. She was also responsible for his first two real, full-bodied laughs since Prom when over dinner that same evening his dad had asked, &amp;ldquo;You and that Santana girl aren&amp;rsquo;t a thing now are you?&amp;rdquo; Kurt had almost fallen off his chair, he&amp;rsquo;d laughed so hard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Oh my God, Dad, no!

And it was not because he was just the teensiest bit afraid that Santana would actually shave his eyebrows while he slept. No, it was a sleepover and he should bring something, that was all. Santana whooped with delight and snatched the plate out of his hands before he crossed the threshold and they went through half of them before the pizza arrived. They decimated the other half shortly after and a plate of brownies, too and they talked and laughed and Tina was only mildly angsty (&amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;It&amp;#39;s been TinaandMike for so long I feel like I don&amp;rsquo;t know who I am anymore.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;) and Mercedes was completely heart eyed (&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Sam has the cutest birthmark on the inside of his left elbow that&amp;rsquo;s shaped like a diamond.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;) and Kurt only wanted to kill them both just a little.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Okay, so, this has gone on long enough,&amp;quot; Santana stated definitively, apropos of nothing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323; min-height: 16.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #232323&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;Kurt didn&amp;#39;t look up from where he was lying on his stomach on Brittany&amp;rsquo;s bed, quietly galloping a stuffed purple unicorn across her comforter, until he realized that the chatter that had been lulling his sugar addled brain towards sleep had stopped.

Come join us in our third year of the Puckurt Big Bang!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The Puckurt Big Bang is an annual writing challenge focusing on the relationship between the characters of Noah Puckerman and Kurt Hummel from the television show &lt;i&gt;Glee&lt;/i&gt;. Authors will complete stories of 15,000 words or more over the course of four months, and these stories are paired with artwork in a variety of media created by artists who claim the stories based on summaries. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Everyone is welcome to sign up, whether you&apos;re new to fandom and fanfiction/fanart or are a returning participant. More than anything, this big bang is a fun opportunity to write something different and to challenge yourself!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Author sign-ups close on April 1st, so if you&apos;d like to participate in the PKBB as a writer, don&apos;t miss your chance to sign up!




&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</description>

It wasn&apos;t natural, not for him and she couldn&apos;t shake the feeling that something was wrong. Her son claimed that he was fine, just a little tired, but she could see through his bullshit every single time. It didn&apos;t matter what was the issue - be that either denying throwing eggs at the chemistry teacher&apos;s house at Halloween or waking up in the middle of the night with nightmares after his father had been killed - Noah couldn&apos;t lie to her to save his life. Lilah guessed it came with being a mother, because Sarah was so painfully transparent to her as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Thank you.&quot; She said to Kurt as they stood outside her car for a moment, watching Noah as he dug through his pockets for the keys to the front door. &quot;I didn&apos;t think they would release him before weekend. If I knew...&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;It&apos;s okay.&quot; Kurt gave her a confident smile, though he wasn&apos;t really sure himself if the confidence was faked or not. &quot;I&apos;ll take care of him.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;The hospital has a staff shortage because of the flu outbreak.&quot; Lilah grimaced. &quot;I should stay here.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;It will be fine, I promise.&quot; Kurt touched her arm gently, hoping to calm her down a bit. &quot;I&apos;m pretty sure he&apos;s going to crash soon anyways. Don&apos;t worry, I&apos;ll stay with him.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lilah had a double shift, afternoon and night, back-to-back. Sarah was having a sleepover at her friend&apos;s house, so they didn&apos;t have to worry about taking care of her while Puck got his shit together. It was late Friday evening and Puck wasn&apos;t suppose to leave juvie before the weekend, but whatever deal Burt&apos;s lawyer got for him was enough to get him released early.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;He&apos;s just...&quot; Lilah stopped, unable to find right words. She looked like she wanted to do nothing more then gather her son close and never let him go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;You&apos;re going to be late if you don’t leave now.&quot; Kurt reminded her, not unkindly. &quot;I&apos;ve got this.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;***************&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puck closed the door slowly behind him, his hand reaching automatically to the basket on a nearby shelf to store his keys. The house was dark, not that he really expected anything else. A part of him, the part that felt guilty for even thinking it, was glad his mother and sister were away for the night. He didn&apos;t really feel like pretending that nothing was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt entered the house shortly after him - and Puck knew he was doing some damage control with his mother just moments ago - and used his own set of keys to lock up behind them. Puck didn&apos;t really move from the entry corridor, not sure where to go next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt sighed. It was painful, seeing Noah like this. Like he had woken up from a sleep and wasn&apos;t sure what was going on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Come on.&quot; Puck nudged Puck&apos;s backpack towards the wall with one foot, getting it out of the way. Puck should probably unpack, but for now it could wait. They had other priorities. &quot;I&apos;m going to make us something to eat. What are you in the mood for?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was just a couple of steps to get to the kitchen and Puck followed after the other boy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I don&apos;t know, anything hot would do, I guess.&quot; Puck shrugged. &quot;No waffles.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt gave him a questioning look, one eyebrow raised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Just...&quot; Puck pursed his lips - it was a tiny grimace, but Kurt noticed regardless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;No waffles.&quot; Kurt confirmed with a nod, turning back to the kitchen counter and pulling stuff from the fridge. His back was turned, so that gave Puck a chance to sag heavily to one of the kitchen chairs and lean his head against the wall for a moment, black spots dancing in front of his eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He must have dozed off for a bit, because the next thing he knew, Kurt was settling a plate in front of him. He blinked slowly as if to shake off the remains of the nap. Kurt had made them omelets - the good kind, with ham and cheese and mushrooms and unhealthy amount of hot sauce for Puck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They ate in silence and it was a tense one, even if not completely uncomfortable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Thank you.&quot; Puck grabbed his hand as Kurt started tidying up the table, stopping him in his tracks. &quot;For being here.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Noah,&quot; Kurt cupped the other boy&apos;s chin gently, making sure that Puck had no other choice but to look up at him. &quot;Where else would I be?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puck closed his eyes for a moment and leaned into the touch once Kurt moved his hand to the bristly cheek. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I know you were angry that I told you not to visit.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Angry, no.&quot; Kurt sighed. &quot;A little hurt, maybe. But I get it.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I don&apos;t want you to think that I was ashamed to be seen with you.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Weren&apos;t you?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;No.&quot; Puck protested, reaching out until he could tug Kurt closer by the belt hoops of his pants. He wrapped his arms around the smaller boy&apos;s waist, effectively trapping him in between his own slightly parted legs. Because Kurt was standing and he was still sitting down, he was at the perfect height to lean in and rest his forehead on Kurt&apos;s belly. &quot;It&apos;s just...&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt hated the way Puck’s voice broke before he was able to finish the sentence. He wasn&apos;t able to shake off the feeling that something was wrong, but he didn&apos;t know if he should push or not. Instead, Kurt raised his hands until he could rest one palm on the back of Puck&apos;s neck, fingers of his other hand raking slowly through the regrown mohawk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Noah, what happened in there?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puck just gave a tiny shake of his head, face still hidden away from view, like he was afraid to look at the other boy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Talk to me, please.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Not now.&quot; Puck murmured, his arms closing marginally tighter around Kurt&apos;s waist, like he was struggling to hold on. &quot;Later, I promise.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt just sighed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Later, then.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;***************&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt didn&apos;t protest when Puck pulled him along with him to the shower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The water pressure in Puckerman household was awful and to keep the balance between hot and cold water, you had to fiddle with the knobs every couple of minutes, otherwise you risked either burning yourself somewhat fierce, or freezing your junk off. Even if Puck had strength to do it (and right now he definitely didn&apos;t), it made any attempts at shower sex completely undesirable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt tilted his head back as Puck finished shampooing his hair and allowed the lukewarm spray to rinse off the suds. He had to use Noah&apos;s shampoo and that stuff stung like seven fucks if it got into eyes. He had a couple of his own shower supplies stashed in his drawer in Puck&apos;s room, but he ran out of shampoo some time ago and forgot to replace the empty bottle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The gentle touching as they washed each other off was nice. Usually, nothing could stand in the way of them enjoying themselves and groping around a little, but at the moment it was the furthest thing from Kurt&apos;s mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was lathering Puck&apos;s chest, slow, gentle movements that were more soothing then scrubbing and he couldn’t stop looking at the mess that was made from Puck&apos;s nipple, the one that once used to have a small silver hoop in it. It wasn&apos;t torn right in the middle, more like at the bottom, which would minimize the scarring. It was just dumb luck - Kurt had a feeling that if it had been tugged from a different angle, they might have left the skin seriously disfigured. The flesh was bruised in ugly red and purples, though thankfully there was no swelling or infection. The wound had scabbed over and was still painful to touch, though Puck claimed it hurt much less then it had in the beginning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finishing the shower was just a matter of time, and soon Kurt was seated on the bed in his pajamas texting his father, while Puck put some disinfectant and antibiotic cream on the injured nipple, taping it over with a large gauze band aid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;TO: Dad&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We&apos;re at Noah&apos;s. Everything&apos;s ok. Will be back in the morning.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It took less then a minute to receive an answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;FROM: Dad&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ll see you both at breakfast. Love you.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Kurt?&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puck&apos;s voice pulled him out of his thoughts and he realized he had been spacing out a bit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Everything&apos;s fine.&quot; He said. &quot;Dad&apos;s expecting to see us both at breakfast tomorrow.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Mhm.&quot; Puck slid under the covers with a tired groan. &quot;Have you checked the salt lines?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a ritual, of sorts. Every night he was at home Puck had been checking to see if the salt lines ingrained into every door and window in the house were undisturbed. Ever since Berith&apos;s attack, it became something like an obsession for him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;You know I did.&quot; Kurt gave the other boy an unimpressed look and he settled back on the bed, fluffing a pillow for a moment before relaxing. He was perfectly aware that Puck would not be able to fall asleep without that reassurance. His mother was the one who did it whenever he was spending the night away from home, but usually it was Puck’s duty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt was waiting for Puck to fall asleep first before he could relax and succumb to it himself, but as minutes passed, he wasn&apos;t sure that was going to happen at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was lying on his back while Puck was on his side, facing him. Puck&apos;s eyes were closed, but Kurt could see that everything about him screamed that he was far, far from relaxed. His muscles were tense, his expression pinched, like he was mildly annoyed that sleep eluded him. Normally, Puck was a somewhat fidgety sleeper, but now he was still as a stone, as if he was trying to trick his body into obedience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Are you trying to pretend you&apos;re asleep for my sake or for yours?&quot; Kurt asked, finally fed up with the unnatural silence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;...Both?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Come here.&quot; Kurt reached to grab Puck&apos;s arm and pull him closer, until the other boy had no choice but to rest his head on Kurt&apos;s chest and lay down half on him, half next to him. Their legs tangled together almost instantly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I can hear you thinking.&quot; Kurt said. &quot;It usually doesn&apos;t end up well.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Fucker.&quot; Puck sighed, as he turned his head slightly to nuzzle more firmly into Kurt&apos;s chest. &quot;I&apos;m just wondering about stuff.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Stuff?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Yeah, stuff.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;What kind of stuff?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Do we have to do this now?&quot; Puck wanted to be annoyed, but he ended up sounding exhausted instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;You did promise to talk to me.&quot; Kurt replied. &quot;Or did you mean &apos;later&apos; in the &apos;&lt;i&gt;not-in-a-million-years&lt;/i&gt;&apos; kind of way?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puck didn&apos;t respond for a long time and Kurt was afraid he lost him. Noah would clam right back up and he wouldn&apos;t get anything else from him that night, but much to his surprise, the other boy seemed to marginally relax in his embrace a minute or two later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Three guys jumped me right after I went in - but you already know that. Kind of hard to say nothing happened when you end up with blood all over your chest.&quot; Puck sighed. His voice sounded more steady now, almost like he was glad to finally be able to talk about this... whatever &apos;this&apos; was. &quot;And I wasn&apos;t kidding when I said I am dead tired. I think I&apos;ve slept only seven, maybe eight hours.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;A night?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Last week.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That made Kurt tear his eyes away from the random spot on the ceiling and tilt his neck until he could look into Puck&apos;s eyes. The other boy wasn&apos;t looking at him though, focusing instead on the design on Kurt&apos;s pajama top, absent-mindedly tracing the lines with his fingers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;As in, eight hours of sleep during the entire week?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;More or less.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;&lt;i&gt;Noah.&lt;/i&gt;&quot; Kurt didn&apos;t know if he was angry or worried. Maybe a mix of both. &quot;What--&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;The third night I was there, I woke up to someone trying to pull my pants down.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That made Kurt shut up instantly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;At first I didn&apos;t realize what was happening, you know?&quot; Puck sounded awfully calm, too calm for someone recalling something like this. Kurt was pretty sure his own heart was racing by now and that Puck could hear it, with his ear pressed down on his chest like that. &quot;It&apos;s this weird moment when you&apos;re not sleeping but not really awake. And the pants were easy to pull down - we were allowed to wear only the clothes they gave us and they were held up by elastic. I guess they didn&apos;t give us string pants or shoelaces because someone might end up trying to hurt himself or the others.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;What?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Kurt, I am pretty sure you need oxygen to live.&quot; Puck tapped Kurt&apos;s ribs gently with two of his fingers. &quot;Breathe.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt let out the breath he didn&apos;t even realize he was holding and it left him in one great whoosh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;After that I didn&apos;t really want to fall asleep.&quot; Puck continued as if he never stopped explaining, which was bullshit, because Kurt knew there was more to the story and he wanted to ask million questions. Actually, he had just one – the most important one. But he had to let Puck finish, even if only resulted in his own anxiety skyrocketing. &quot;Or should I say, I did everything I could not to fall asleep during the nights in the dorm. I did catch some cat naps here and there – you would be surprised how much they help. But I didn&apos;t fall asleep in shared room again. I actually ended up standing the entire night. I wasn&apos;t sure I wouldn&apos;t pass out if I sat down and I didn&apos;t want to risk it.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus fucking Christ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Hey,&quot; Puck raised his head from Kurt&apos;s chest to look at the other boy once he started to breathe a little too fast for his liking. Hyperventilating was not on Kurt&apos;s agenda for the evening, but it seemed like his life didn&apos;t give a fuck what he wanted and kept throwing him curveballs anyways. &quot;If you are going to get a panic attack I swear I am going to kick you out of bed.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Fuck,&quot; Kurt squeezed his eyes shut and the arm he had looped over Puck&apos;s back tightened almost to the point of pain. &quot;Just... &lt;i&gt;What the actual fuck?&lt;/i&gt;&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Kurt.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Just give me a fucking moment.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Not when you look like you&apos;re going to burst a vein in your brain, or something.&quot; Puck protested, the hand that was previously playing with Kurt&apos;s shirt was now pressing down, right over his heart, as if Puck tried to ground him, keep him sane. A desperate, humorless laugh almost burst out from Kurt&apos;s chest. Puck was the one who tried to comfort him?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Kurt!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Did you...&quot; Kurt had to swallow hard, the words stuck in his throat. Once he said them, he could never take the question back. &quot;Were you raped?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a moment of terrible, panic-inducing silence during which Kurt couldn&apos;t bear to look at his boyfriend, too afraid of the answer. After a moment - and it seemed like fucking eternity to Kurt - Puck&apos;s hand released its pressure on his chest and the other boy laid his head back down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;No.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The short reply was not enough, not enough to make the fear go away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Noah,&quot; Kurt&apos;s voice was shaky, like he had to force himself to talk. &quot;Please just... Are you telling me the truth or just something that you think I want to hear?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Nothing happened.&quot; Puck sighed. &quot;Mostly just scared the shit out of me. Once I realized someone was trying to get me naked I just... reacted. There was a lamp on the bedside table, the industrial-looking type thing, with metal base. I grabbed it and smashed it right into the guy&apos;s face. Broke his nose and cheek bone and he started yelling so loud that the officers came in almost immediately.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt could almost see it. Puck clutching the heavy lamp, bloodied at the bottom and the guy writhing in pain on the floor by his bed. It was probably both hunter instincts and panic that caused Puck to react and Kurt could imagine the wild, frightened look in Puck&apos;s eyes as he was torn between the fight or flight responses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I thought I would end up in isolation after that, but apparently violence in self-defense was not that rare. Frankly, I would prefer the isolation - at least I would be getting some sleep.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Promise me.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt&apos;s voice was so quiet that Puck had to once again raise his head from the boy&apos;s chest to hear him better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Huh?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Promise me that this is exactly what happened.&quot; Kurt sounded close to crying. &quot;Promise me that--&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Kurt.&quot; Puck tried to get the other teen to look at him and Kurt finally gave in. The desperate look in his eyes was enough to make Puck&apos;s gut clench in guilt. &quot;I promise. No one forced themself on me.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt made a sound in the back of his throat, like a muffled whimper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I promise.&quot; Puck repeated, shifting a little so he could reach Kurt&apos;s lips and press a soft kiss to the corner of his mouth. &quot;I promise on my mom&apos;s life, on Sarah&apos;s life that no one hurt me, not like that.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Fuck.&quot; That came out like a choked back sob and tears finally came as Kurt craned his neck to kiss Puck. His free hand came up to cradle the back of Puck&apos;s head and hold him close. &quot;I love you.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;You’d better.&quot; Puck whispered against his lips, returning the gentle kisses and small nips. &quot;Because I am never letting you go.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;***************&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt was awake long before Puck stirred from his sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;What time &apos;z it?&quot; Puck wiped a hand over his face, trying to see the clock on Kurt&apos;s side of the small bed, but the image was still sleep-blurry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Just after 5 a.m.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;God,&quot; Puck groaned, his head flopping back on the pillow, hoping against hope that he might fall back asleep. He knew it was a small chance though - he was a light sleeper and once he was awake it was extremely difficult for him to go back under again. &quot;What are you doing up? It&apos;s way too fucking early.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Thinking.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Please tell me you&apos;re not still angsting over what I told you.&quot; Puck huffed, twisting slightly so he could rub his nose in Kurt&apos;s neck. Kurt smelled like him, since they both used his shower gel and secretly Puck thought that Kurt wearing his scent was kind of awesome. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;No.&quot; At least Kurt tried not to. &quot;I was just thinking that lately a lot of crap piled up on us. You in juvie, my dad in hospital... it would be nice to get a break, you know?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Mhm.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;And on top of all of that, we still have to prepare for sectionals. No pressure.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Hmm.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;You&apos;re not even listening to me, are you?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Nope.&quot; Puck placed another small kiss where Kurt&apos;s neck met his jaw and he shifted again, this time to cover Kurt with his own body. Graciously, Kurt spread his legs a little and allowed Puck to settle on him. &quot;Not too heavy?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I&apos;m not made of glass.&quot; Kurt rolled his eyes, but the traces of good humor disappeared quickly. &quot;Are &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; okay?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Dude,&quot; Puck frowned and looked Kurt in the eyes, not paying attention to the annoyed glare he got - he knew damn well that Kurt didn&apos;t like when he called him that name. &quot;Stop that.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;What?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Treating me like I’m traumatized.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I&apos;m not.&quot; Kurt sighed in resignation. &quot;At least I am trying not to. But that doesn’t change the fact that you were sexually assaulted.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And sweet Jesus on a cracker, it was hard to think of Puck - the strong, badass Puck - as the victim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Kurt,&quot; Puck&apos;s face looked pained. &quot;Some guy pulled my pants down and scared the fuck out of me, but that&apos;s it. Please don&apos;t start thinking I need therapy or something.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Don&apos;t you?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;No, definitely not.&quot; Puck made a face. &quot;Probably not. Look, the point is, I do not intend to dwell on this, okay? It was fucking scary and uncomfortable and any kind of prison fantasy porn has been ruined &lt;i&gt;forever&lt;/i&gt; for me, but is hardly the worst thing that has ever happened. If I know our shitty luck there&apos;s going to be a fuckton of other issues to deal with in the future.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Okay, okay, I&apos;ll stop bringing that up.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Good.&quot; Puck sighed. &quot;Can we go back to kissing now?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;At least you still have your priorities in order.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not much was said for some time after that. Puck went back to necking like a man on a mission. He was careful not to leave marks, since Kurt hated having hickeys and stubble rash where it showed. It didn&apos;t take long for them to get naked either, both a little skin-hungry after two weeks of not seeing each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Hmm.&quot; Puck purred as he nuzzled into Kurt&apos;s belly, nipping lightly at his side, making Kurt&apos;s stomach muscles jump. &quot;Can I?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Yeah.&quot; Kurt sounded more then a little breathless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puck went even lower, kissing skin, teasing along the erect cock and over the soft balls. He felt Kurt move, his hips angling themselves better, and Puck helped him shift on the bed until he was bent almost in half over Puck&apos;s lap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Nghh!&quot; Kurt bit back the moan as Puck leaned over and licked over the exposed entrance. &quot;Fuck, do that again.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He did, over and over again. He alternated between long, wet swipes of his tongue and fast, small licks. Puck tried to see how quickly he could make Kurt more vocal, which could be somewhat of a challenge if Kurt was feeling particularly stubborn. But no matter how much willpower Kurt had, it always shattered when Puck started poking his tongue inside his ass, relaxing the muscles with the help of his fingers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saliva wasn&apos;t the best lube though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Give me--&quot; He stopped what he was doing for a moment to ask, but Kurt was faster - he already grabbed the bottle from the bedside drawer and tossed it to the other teen, who grinned when he noticed the brand was flavored. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puck coated his fingers in generous amount of slick and soon had Kurt mewling, totally at his mercy while he stroked over his prostate and licked at where his fingers disappeared inside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Fuck-- Noah, get in me, please, pleaseplease&lt;i&gt;please&lt;/i&gt;--&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Hey,&quot; Puck frowned, focusing on Kurt and pulling out his fingers, despite the disappointed keen from the smaller boy. &quot;Shhh.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was something desperate in the way Kurt was begging and it was not the fun &apos;&lt;i&gt;fuck-me-now-or-you&apos;ll-regret-it&lt;/i&gt;&apos; kind of desperation. In the light of all they talked about, Puck was more inclined to believe it was more of the &apos;&lt;i&gt;I-missed-you-I-love-you-please-tell-me-you&apos;re-alright&lt;/i&gt;&apos; kind. Which was totally not cool, since it made Puck&apos;s throat clench with emotion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Going through the motions of putting a condom and slicking himself up was nothing new to Puck. Kurt was on his back when Puck sank into him, his cock sliding into that perfect, tight heat that threatened to consume him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After two weeks apart Puck thought their first time back in bed would be quick and impatient, but despite earlier urgency, the world seemed to slow down for them. Puck waited a moment after breaching his boyfriend, focusing on kissing the hell out of him. His first thrusts were minimal, just barely-there twitching of hips as he tested out if Kurt was ready, but there was no pain. Kurt&apos;s body accepted him quickly, stretched and taken care of as it was. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When they first started, sex was just a product of mutual understanding and a way to ensure shared orgasms. So much had happened since then and now as Puck watched his partner, he couldn&apos;t help but to wonder when exactly he did fall for the other teen. It didn&apos;t matter in the long run, it really didn’t, not when Kurt was focusing all his attention on him, when he threw his head back and gasped like a dying man each time Puck’s cock stroked over his prostate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puck gathered the other boy close, arms around his waist as he leaned back and Kurt had no choice but to go along. It resulted in Puck sitting on the bed, legs cradling Kurt&apos;s form as Kurt sat in his lap, nearly mirroring the position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Fuck.&quot; Kurt groaned as he could feel himself stretching even further, the cock in him reaching the places that weren&apos;t touched before, sinking in even deeper. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of Puck&apos;s hands came up to cradle the back of Kurt&apos;s head and pull him closer into a kiss, while the other arm wrapped itself around his waist. The kiss was gentle, almost shy and Kurt couldn&apos;t help but to moan into it as Puck started to move. The position didn&apos;t leave a lot of room for movement, but it allowed Puck to reach deeply into Kurt’s willing body, his arm helping Kurt move in his lap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;God,&quot; Puck groaned as their kiss broke and he leaned in until he could rest his forehead on Kurt&apos;s collarbone, his eyes squeezing shut. Both of his hands were on Kurt&apos;s ass now, aiding the motion. &quot;You feel amazing.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt didn&apos;t reply, choosing instead to wrap his arms around Noah&apos;s neck, bringing them back into another unhurried kiss. He moved his hips in small circles, swallowing back a whimper when the cock inside of him brushed over his sweet spot over and over again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Let me hear.&quot; Puck begged as he tore his lips away from Kurt&apos;s neck where he was mouthing at the soft skin, wishing he could leave a mark. &quot;I fucking love the noises you make when I&apos;m in you.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;That&apos;s because, ah--&quot; Kurt closed his eyes for a moment, changing the angle slightly, just enough to make the pleasure run through him like an electric current. &quot;B-because you know what dirty talk does to me.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I do.&quot; Puck smirked as he reached in between them to grasp at Kurt&apos;s cock, red and almost painfully hard, giving it a firm tug. The other boy did let out a whimper, shuddering at the touch. &quot;I know how much you like it. How it makes your ass clench around me, trying to hold me in.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pace of their thrusts didn&apos;t really change that much, but Puck was using their combined strength to make himself sink harder into the gripping tightness. It was slowly proving to be too much for Kurt, whose grip around Puck&apos;s neck went a little slack, just holding on for the ride. Puck let got of Kurt&apos;s cock to grip at his hips again with both hands, despite the boy&apos;s mewl of protest. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Don&apos;t worry,&quot; Puck murmured against Kurt&apos;s mouth, pulling him for another lazy kiss, this one all lips and teeth and tongue. &quot;I&apos;ll get you there, baby, but I want you to come just from my cock.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Noah,&quot; Kurt&apos;s breath hitched when Puck&apos;s hands shifted to grab at his ass and squeeze, spreading him for Puck’s use. &quot;So close, come on...&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Can you do that for me?&quot; Puck reached back even further to rub his fingertips over the stretched skin, where his cock was disappearing into Kurt, making the other boy let out a strangled noise. &quot;Can you come just from this? From me fucking your little hole?&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He didn&apos;t wait for an answer, choosing instead to carefully lower Kurt back on the bed, Kurt&apos;s legs wrapping around his waist almost automatically. Puck leaned in to kiss the other teen, reaching up to tangle their fingers together and press their joined hands to the mattress above Kurt’s head. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Mhmm,&quot; Kurt gasped, breaking the kiss and tilting his head back, his hair spilling into a messy halo on the pillow. &quot;There, right &lt;i&gt;there&lt;/i&gt;, just--&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Yeah?&quot; Puck asked, shifting on his knees to lock on the perfect angle. He moved slowly, with deliberate, jabbing thrusts that had his cock press and drag over that special spot constantly. &quot;Here?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He could feel Kurt&apos;s ass clenching on his cock and Kurt didn&apos;t seem capable of forming words, choosing instead to nod frantically, his legs clamping hard around Puck&apos;s hips. Puck felt a wave of smugness, knowing that he was the only one to render the other boy speechless, the one giving him all that pleasure. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It couldn&apos;t last, not with Puck abusing his prostate like that and soon Kurt was quivering, a sobbing cry tearing from his throat and Puck looked down their bodies just in time to see Kurt losing it, long stripes of come covering his trembling stomach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Fuck.&quot; Puck cursed, eyes closing. He sped up his thrusts a little, fucking Kurt through his orgasm, causing the other boy to whimper as the oversensitivity set in, his body unable to decide if it was too much or not. Puck was close, so close that it took only moments before he was coming, hiding his face in Kurt&apos;s neck with muffled shout, his body instinctively pushing in, forcing himself as deep into Kurt as he could go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Geez,&quot; Kurt whispered, breaking the long moment of silence during which they didn&apos;t do anything but lay together, boneless and satisfied. &quot;I think you broke me. It can’t be normal for a guy to come without even touching his dick.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I dunno,&quot; Puck huffed a laugh, pressing a kiss just under the hinge of Kurt&apos;s jaw, feeling the pulse race underneath his lips. &quot;I think that&apos;s pretty awesome skill to have.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt just hummed, stroking his hand over Puck&apos;s shoulders, enjoying the way that the muscles moved under his palms. They should probably get cleaned up, but Kurt didn&apos;t feel like getting up just yet. Puck was still buried in him for the time being and each movement they made sent a sliver of sensitive after-pleasure through him. They stayed like that for a bit, until Noah kissed the corner of his mouth one last time and reached down to grab the base of his cock, holding the condom in place as he pulled out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt stretched on the bed and watched sleepily as Puck padded out of the room towards the bathroom. He came back just a minute later, a damp hand towel in his hand, which he gamely threw at Kurt before pulling on his discarded pajama pants. Kurt wanted to be annoyed but at least the towel wasn&apos;t freezing cold and besides, orgasms tended to put him in the good mood. He wiped himself down and handed the cloth back to Puck, who exchanged it for Kurt&apos;s own pajamas and chucked the towel towards the laundry hamper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;We&apos;ll have to get up soon.&quot; Puck said as he crawled back under the covers, laying on his back and reaching towards Kurt, who nestled himself by his side, head on Puck&apos;s shoulder. &quot;Your dad is making us breakfast.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;He&apos;s going to use you as an excuse to eat the sugary cereal, not the granola mix I made him.&quot; Kurt complained.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;You&apos;ll make him regret it later.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I&apos;m going to make him drink kale smoothies for the rest of the month.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Of course you are.&quot; Puck smiled, shifting so he could nose at the top of Kurt&apos;s head, inhaling deeply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt was warm against his side, his own unique scent mixed with Puck&apos;s shower gel and overlaid with smell of sex and pheromones. Puck could finally feel completely relaxed for the first time in over two weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a while, he didn&apos;t know if he was even capable of letting go anymore. Two weeks of being constantly on his guard, not sleeping, and jumping at shadows felt like fucking lifetime. He was pretty sure that if his mother knew about what happened, she would drag his ass to see some kind of psychologist friend of hers and he would end up medicated up to his ears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Kurt...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurt smelled like home, like safety and love. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And he was the only drug Puck would ever need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&apos;cutid1-end&apos;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

You can view the &lt;a href=&quot;http://kurt-ot3bang.livejournal.com/11259.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;2012 Kurt OT3 Bang&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://puckurtbigbang.livejournal.com/24663.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;2013 Puckurt Big Bang&lt;/a&gt;, or the &lt;a href=&quot;http://pinnkinnbigbang.livejournal.com/9890.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;2013 Pinn &amp; Kinn Big Bang&lt;/a&gt; for examples of the types of art submitted in the recent past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you will all spread the word. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://kurt-ot3bang.livejournal.com/13495.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;To sign up as an artist for the Kurt OT3 Bang go here!!!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Kurt OT3 Bang Mods&lt;/b&gt;</description>

  <title>Puckurt Drabbles? Where Are They?</title>
  <author>raving_liberal</author>
  <link>https://puckurt.livejournal.com/1750156.html</link>
  <description>You may have noticed that nobody is running 31 Days of Puckurt Drabbles in January this year. Since we had a low turn-out for the January drabble-thon last year, we&apos;re focusing on the 30 Days of Puckurt in June instead. We may run it as a fortnight again or we might be able to get someone who wants to run it as the full month, but we&apos;ll keep you all posted!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span  class=&quot;ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-type-P     &quot;  data-ljuser=&quot;raving_liberal&quot; lj:user=&quot;raving_liberal&quot; &gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://raving-liberal.livejournal.com/profile/&quot;  target=&quot;_self&quot;  class=&quot;i-ljuser-profile&quot; &gt;&lt;img  class=&quot;i-ljuser-userhead&quot;  src=&quot;https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo_v8.png?v=17080&amp;v=924&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://raving-liberal.livejournal.com/&quot; class=&quot;i-ljuser-username&quot;   target=&quot;_self&quot;   &gt;&lt;b&gt;raving_liberal&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description>
