Hi there! I'm Rachel, a 21-year-old Creative Writing student in my final year of study at university. Glee, Klaine and Downton Abbey consume fairly large portions of my free time ... as do reading, writing, friending (now a verb, apparently) and shopping. I'm friendly, feel free to send me an ask or email me!

The Blaine to my Kurt

Dalton Abbey

It’s the year 1910. Blaine Anderson, son of Lord and Lady Dalton, is expected to find a wife of similar rank and fortune to himself in the coming few years in the hope that he will marry her, produce a male heir and pass on the Dalton estate after his death. However, bored by his dull life of manners and rules and expectations; he really has no interest in finding a wife. Enter Kurt Hummel. Kurt is about to begin work as footman and valet at Dalton Abbey, where he will serve the illustrious Anderson family. Kurt’s work as valet involves spending a great deal of time with Blaine, and Blaine can’t help but notice how much more he enjoys spending time with Kurt than in the clutches of his family…

Beta: This fanfic would not exist at all if not for her… and if it did, it would be terrible! I cannot thank her enough for the amazing support she provides and her incredible ability to take my mediocre writing and transform it completely. Epic, endless amounts of thanks to Kayla, who you may know as the wonderful author of Snapshots. If you haven’t read that fic yet (although, who hasn’t?), you really should <3
