Spring 2012
“Congratulations!” Kurt began. “Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away!” Kurt took a deep breath, glad that he had taken Blaine’s advice while writing his speech and used Dr. Suess. “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own and you know what you know, and you are the guy who'll decide where to go.”
He paused, looking out at the crowd of people in front of him. His fellow graduates, his friends, in a sea of red before him; his parents and other families of graduates in the stands. “Life is about choices,” he said. “When you’re little, the choices are simple. It basically comes down to deciding what toy to play with, what TV show to watch and whether you should have chicken nuggets for dinner.” He met his Dad’s gaze in the stands and smiled. “When you’re older, the choices aren’t always so clear. Suddenly, everything is riding on making the right decision.” He found Rachel and Finn in the crowd. “It could be the decision to get married, or where you’re going to school or even to take a risk and see if it pays off.” Now he was staring at Blaine. Blaine gave him a thumbs up. “So this is my advice to graduating class of McKinley High, two thousand twelve. Don’t be afraid to make the wrong choices as long as they’re the right ones for you. Thank you.”
Kurt took his seat amidst applause, crossing his legs. He gave his undivided attention as Rachel went to the podium and started to speak.
*
“Congratulations to the graduates!” Principal Figgins exclaimed, and the graduates tossed their caps up into the air. Blaine was the first one out of his seat to find Kurt, knowing that Kurt’s parents as well as his own would be down right behind him. Blaine tore across the football field and found Kurt standing with Rachel and Finn. He practically tackled him into a hug. “I am so proud of you!”
Kurt laughed, nearly falling backward at Blaine’s onslaught. “How’d I do?”
“Your speech was amazing.”
“I think you’re biased,” Kurt laughed again. “How was…” Kurt gestured with his head to where Burt and Carole stood with Blaine’s parents – his mother and his father had both attended. It seemed Blaine’s father was serious about supporting Blaine and making amends and was doing his best to prove to Blaine that he meant it.
Congratulations were exchanged as the parents came over. Blaine watched the expression on his father’s face when Rachel’s dad’s joined them, clearly startled to see them together. “I tell you what,” Burt spoke up. “Get your stuff. We’re all going to dinner to celebrate, on me. Gotta get my time in with you boys before you move to New York next week.”
They moved toward the parking lot in a big crowd, everyone talking and laughing and even crying as they did so. Blaine pulled Kurt close as they walked, looking forward to next week when they moved into their condo.
The future was now and Blaine absolutely couldn’t wait.
End Notes: Okay, so I guess I should start this by saying thank you. Thank you to missgoalie75 and star55. You guys. I don't even know what to say to you, except that I love you both so much and this story (AAC or CA) would never have existed without your constant cheerleading. I would have given up long ago without you two. Thank you to everyone else as well - those who read, commented, left prompts, followed me on tumblr - you guys are all amazing and I'm going to miss reading your reactions. I do have about 40 or so prompts to fill over at my tumblr and I'm still taking them. If you have something you'd like to see in this verse, prompt me! I am, however, staying away from future fics for the moment, in case I decide to come back and play in this verse some more. Finally, life is about choices. Don't be afraid to take a chance. :D (Okay, that was cheesy but I couldn't help myself).

Oh my God.It's over.Like, this is seriously over.WHAT DO I DO WITH MY LIFE NOW!??!You're seriously awesome and you have an amazing verse! Ugh. I love you.
Is this really over?What am I to read now?What do i do with my life now?
It's over!! :( Thank you so much!
I decided to just go ahead and post it all. Thanks!
I was not prepared for the epilogue to be posted too. Now I'm all sad because it's over. Great ending though!
Yeah! I loved this verse from the beginning and I'm so pleased with the ending (cuz it's truly their beginning). Thanks for sharing your writing with us!
Thank you so much!
Damn. I wish you would write the episodes of Glee. Now that I've got the obligatory jibe at Fox out of the way, I must thank you. This story is amazing and I am so happy to have followed it all this time. I'm sorry that I discovered AAC when someone plagiarized your story as a Finchel fic (an act for which they should be exiled) and a post was traveling around Tumblr to report it. I reported the story without even reading the disgrace, and immediately went to find the original. I'm so happy I did. Just know that I love the story -- it has to be one of the best Klaine stories I have ever read, and I look forward to whatever new projects you have ahead. ~Tat~
Awwwww, thank you so much. I hate that you found my story that way as well, but I'm so glad that you did!! :D
I really enjoyed this verse and hope you do return to it. I would like to see where they go from here. Nice Job!
Maybe one day. Thank you!
OMG, thank you so much!!
I know most of my reviews consist of flailing noises, but lookie here! WORDS! I just wanted to tell you how completely incredible this 'verse is. I'm glad you're leaving it for now, (cuz you seem like you really need a break) but I honestly hope that you will come back to it someday. I feel like your take on S3 is what most of the fans would have wanted as canon, but then again it wouldn't be Glee without its drama! I really hope you do some more writing because you are incredible and I want to shower you in hugs and llamas! So, yay! Thanks for being an amazinglysuperfabulisticaliciosawesomelyfantasticalerific person and I cant wait to see what you come up with next!
I'm going to miss this verse!
Me too!! Thank you!
Awww, I know what you mean. I don't have any plans to go further right now, except for prompts I'll be filling at my tumblr. Thanks!
I WASN'T READY FOR THIS!! I really do hope you decide to continue on in this 'verse because I'm not ready to let it go yet! I've loved your writing and look forward to reading more of your work.
Thank you so much!!
Gah Slayer! It's done. Sobbing. So great. I'm glad you still have prompts to fill. But I sure am gonna miss seeing updates in my inbox.
What a satisfying conclusion to a wonderful story, and a wonderful series overall! I am totally onboard for you eventually continuing writing in this universe, simply because I adore it (and especially this Kurt & Blaine) so much, but either way, it has been a completely lovely read. Thanks for sharing it! I enjoyed every chapter.
Thank you so much!! :D
I can't believe it's over ;A; I'm going to miss waiting for a new chapter so much (not to mention the story itself). But I loved it and seriously, this is how season 3 should have ended. I love you and I'm praying that you'll maybe decide to go back to this verse at some point xD Whether you do or not, I just wanted to say thank you for what you've already given us :DLove,galindaby
Awwwww, thank you so much!!! :D
I wasn't expecting for this fic to end up so soon. Anyway. I love the way it ends, and it will stay one of my favorites. Love.
thank you!!!
It's over!! Thank you!
:( Is it over?? Its not over, is it? ... I'll just have to wait and find out! That was an amazing end to the story, though! <3

Thank you!
A wonderful end to a wonderful story! :D
YESSSSSSSSSS perfect ♥ this should have been glee, i swear to god - it would have been the PERFECT season 4.
Agreed!!! Thank you!
I would absolutely LOVE YOU if there was a future fic in this verse... Maybe Kurt and Blaine living together... Trials send tribulations of freshman year of college. Please please please write mote in this verse!
oh god, that was perfect! now i just don't know what to do with my life.
Thank you so much! :D
Loved this! (And An Accidental Chance) Fabulous stories, you're incredible! :) Great job!! :)
Wow, so for starters, this was a really good epilogue. Secondly, the entierty of Chances Are was amazing, and it's going to be so weird not having a reason to look forward to Mondays and Wednesdays! I'll miss this 'verse, you did an amazing good with it. I look forward to reading the prompts on tumblr!
Thank you so much!!!! :D
Thank you so much!!
OMG! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S OVER! I loved every minute, and every second of this, and An Accidental Chance. You write beautifully and I can't wait to read more!
I really enjoyed this (enough to stay up late the past two nights to read both stories). It was so great to see how you would integrate all the little cannon things into this version of Klaine's reality. I admit, I'd heard people talking about this story for awhile and I'd always put it off because the concept felt too cute for me- but I gave it a chance and I'm SO glad that I did. It had a nice amount of angst while still giving us the happy endings that the show never could!
Ooops, flailing a little. :D I had a lot of fun working in canon elements (and fandom stuff, lol) - probably too much fun. Thank you so much!!! :D
Thank you!!! Currently I have no plans for a third part, but I never say no to the possibility that it could happen.
Holy crap, oh my god. I absolutely LOVED this fic. Please, write a third part, this is just so lovely.
NO! I don't want it to be over! It was so good! D:
AWwwww, thank you!!! :D
Thank you so much!!! :D

I ADORE THIS FLICK!! It is AMAZING! Ugh, I am sooo in love with this story and your writing, and this 'verse, and anything klaine. This, thou, might just be my altime favourite fanflick. And I have read ALOT. Love, love, LOVE, it! And thank you so much for writing it! I am so sad its actually over... Pleace feel free to write a threequel ;) <3Just might need to re-read it soon...its that good.

Wow...just spent the day reading AAC & Chances Are...Amazing!!! Really loved both of them!!! :D
Ahhhh!!! I didn't comment on the chapters as I went cause I just wanted to keep reading!!! This was sooo good!!! Is it horrible of me to say that I had hoped that Sebastian had died in the Dalton accident? :-p I love Grant, hate Sebastian >.<" I haven't checked yet, but is there a third one??? If not, are you going to write one??? Love your work!! (Not a fan of smut but I just skip over it :-p)
LMAO!!! :D Oh, Sebastian. There is not a third one right now, though the idea is there...Thank you so much!!!

That's all there is for this one! :DThanks!
Thank you so much!!!Actually, I recently announced on Tumblr that I have plans for a third fic! No idea when I'll start posting, but I'm working it. :D
This was the best fic ever! I fell so in Love with AAC and had to read it on and on... and than there was CA and I also read just through it... and now it is over... finally? I have to admit that I am a little bit sad... but truely this has been so amazing... You are such a wondeful writer, I love your AU and everything just matched so wonderful! Thank you for three wonderful days, filled with reading this 2 great stories!!! I think I will now go for the drabbles ;D Lot's of love Franzi <3
Wait... wait... wait... wait... wait... wait... no more?What?I'm literally crying right now dear God JUST ONE MORE PLEASE IT CAN BE SHORT JUST LIKE SIX MORE CHAPTERS I NEED TO KNOW HOW EVERYTHING GOES I NEED...I'm sorry, that was uncalled for. What I meant was that was amazing and I enjoyed it so much. Both of them, An Accidental Chance and Chances Are. I'm not even kidding, though, I'm actually crying because it's over.
LOL, hugs! Actually.... I am working on a third one. Very slowly, but I am working on it. At the time that this was posted, I really needed to go and work on other things but I've come back to this and will hopefully have the third one done and start posting by the end of July/August (it's a pipe dream). Thank you!
OMG, THANK YOU. This review made my whole day.
Thanks for an amazing story, read it in 2 days!!! You are suxh a talented author and should really think about making a career out of it, I wish you the best of look and a big congratulations xoxo
LOVE this story. Both of these. PLEASE write another series on this. You did so well...it'd be interesting to see how the couple as shown here do in NYC & what opportunities and pitfalls might arise. PLEASE. I raced through all the chapters, since I was so engaged by the first (AAC?) and I wanted to finish this.
Thank you so much!I am actually working on a third fic for this verse, but it's slow going. :)
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENSSSSSS.That may have been a little.. extreme of me. But seriously, will there be another? To tie up all loose ends? Ppppllllleeeeaaaaasssseeeeeeee. (she asks nicely)-Julie :)
LOL!!! Actually, I am in the process of writing a third fic (which should be the last). :Dthanks!
