Blaine didn't know why he was here and why he was doing this; it was a horrible idea, but he had been having a lot of those lately.
Blaine signaled to the bartender for another drink; being at Scandals on ‘Drag Night' was just the latest bad choice he'd made. But with the help of the alcohol at lest he would be numb. Numb to the fact the he had lost the one thing that meant more to him than any other, Kurt: the love of his life.
At the time that he made the worst judgment call of his life, he just wanted to hurt Kurt. Hurt Kurt for leaving Blaine so alone, for moving on so easily, for making it clear that though Kurt was the center of Blaine's world; Blaine was no longer the center of Kurt's.
In hindsight Blaine could see that the only reason he wasn't the center of Kurt's world was because Kurt's whole world changed. If Kurt had continued to have Blaine as the center of his world Kurt would have crashed and burned in his new life. Even though Blaine had wanted to hurt Kurt to show him the pain he himself was feeling he never wanted to destroy Kurt. Although there was a very good chance he may have done just that, but he didn't know for sure because Kurt was no longer speaking to him.
He knows Kurt had wanted and even tried to talk to him the morning after Blaine told Kurt that he had cheated on him. Every word either of them spoke seemed to affect Kurt physically; Kurt looked like he might puke, faint or just die with each word and action.
Blaine had never seen Kurt so broken. Not when he first met Kurt and he broke down crying in front of an understanding stranger because he treated him like a human being. Not when Kurt's idealistic dreams of his first kiss were ripped away - to an overly romantic boy who longed for the touch of fingertips as the ultimate sign of love - that was a very big deal. Not even when he failed to get into NYADA and thought he had lost his chance at living out his dreams in a city of tolerance. No, Kurt had never seemed as broken as knowing that Blaine would have shared something with a stranger that meant so much when it was shared between them. That it ‘didn't mean anything' only made it that much worse because losing his...well, everything for something that had never and would never mean anything caused a pain in him he had never fathomed.
Yes, Blaine had hurt Kurt the way he had intended in the instant he made that hideous choice. Unfortunately hurting Kurt only ended up devastating Blaine more than any missed call, unnoticed moments of achievement or even finding out Kurt could be happy without him ever would have.
Blaine was drunk - not tipsy, or buzzed but completely: let me share my life story and "you're my best friend" being said to the bartender and anyone else that would listen for that matter, kind of drunk.
So when the biggest bear of a man Blaine had ever seen; wearing a fairy princess costume sat next to Blaine well in Blaine's drunken state this wasn't weird at all in fact it was welcomed because now he had someone new to tell his story to the story of a great epic love and its loss due to fear, loneliness, a lack of communication and spite.
Blaine turned to look at the strangest of strangers that just sat next to him "Hi, I'm Blaine" Blaine offered the fairy princess his hand.
"I know, I am your ‘fairy godmother'" said the man in the weird costume in a dramatic yet deep gruff voice which is just what you would expect this man - that was almost a foot taller and 150 pounds heavier than Blaine and wearing a dress a 6 year old girl would find too frilly - to sound like.
"Does that mean you are going to solve all my problems with the wave of your wand?" Blaine asked while gesturing towards a very cheap looking wand with poorly glued on glitter then something dawned on Blaine and he looked over a little irritated and said "If you're hitting on me you can just move on."
"Ewww, gross. No." The fairy was so repulsed that it kind of hurt Blaine's feelings.
"And what is so wrong with me?" only after Blaine said it did he realize what he was asking.
"I am your ‘fairy godmother'. I have followed you all your life. I would never want to have a quasi-incestuous relationship with you." The fairy looked a little sick at having to explain it.
At Blaine's level of intoxication he seemed to just take what the other man was saying on faith. "Wait, all my life?" Blaine said his confusion led to anger "Then why haven't I had a fairytale life? Why did I get bullied and beat up and why aren't I with Kurt right now?" Blaine's anger gave way to a hurt, tears and a small sob when asking about Kurt.
The fairy's eyes became distant as answering in a miserable tone "I can't change the way anyone feels or even make the choices I know are right for them. ‘It is beyond our control to save them ‘" the last past said in a monotone- like it was rule that the fairy had been told repeatedly but never believed. After a beat the fairy said "I did help, when I could. I made sure you found music you liked and could get lost in. I left Dalton brochures for your parents to find to help end the bullying. I even broke your watch so you would be late and find Kurt on the stairs - sorry about the watch by the way"
Blaine whispered into his drink as tears still silently falling down his face "But you can't fix the past so...none of it mattered". If there hadn't been a break in the music what Blaine said would have gone unheard.
A new resolve appeared on the fairy's face "I can't stomach it anymore, Blaine. I won't do this anymore. This isn't just a job; you're like a child to me. They can't ask me to watch you suffer again. You and Kurt are hurting so much and because he won't let himself believe in me I can't be there for him. So, I am going to do something for you that I'm not supposed to do I am going to let you go back and fix it. Now take this wand if you need me say my name into it - I am Kailen. If you mess anything up and need to start over just tap yourself on the head like this" the fairy said as he tapped Blaine on the head with the cheap wand "and you will go back to the start but remember everything you do can and more than likely will change everything that comes after."
Kailen grab Blaine by the shoulder and spun him out of the chair; being drunk and twirled around made Blaine want to puke but the feeling subsided quickly.
Blaine found himself holding that ridiculous wand. He realized he was on the floor of a dark room feeling disorientated but now sober. He sat up looked around the room and found his clock; it was 4:04 AM. This wasn't just any room this was his room but it hadn't looked like this in years. Blaine turned on his light and found his phone so that he could look up the date. When he saw the date he was so shocked he nearly dropped his phone.

I think you should go with choice 3, the day before Blaine met Kurt.
thank you for the help :)
This is really good and I can't wait to see if Blaine can fix his mistakes and find his way back to Kurt. I definitely think Blaine has a lot of explaining to do on Glee but I ultimately still believe that Kurt and Blaine belong together. I definitely think there should be groveling on Blaine's part though and a little understanding and maturity on Kurt's. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.
i had to have a little giggle at the fairy godmothers name :)
