Things I Cannot Change
Kurt begins his junior year at McKinley, fully prepared for something better than the torment he has suffered as an underclassman. However, when he befriends Blaine Anderson, a shy transfer student, he might not be able to handle everything God throws at him.
Author's Notes: Another huge thanks to my fantastic plot collaborator! She worked with me so much when I was writing Where We Went Right and trust me, that story would not have turned out half as well if it hadn't been for her. The same goes for this story - without her, I'd have no inspiration! I hope you enjoy this story for what it is. On that note, there may be a bit of controversy. I advise readers to look at this from a single creative standpoint. In no way am I stereotyping; I am simply making one statement about one type of person in one type of family. I'm rating this M because there is a slight chance that there will be sex/sexual themes waaay later in the story. If I ultimately decide to not feature a sexual relationship, the rating will be changed accordingly. I hope you'll stick around!

Absolutely beautiful story.
Absolutely love
amazing
Amazing fic from Jamie again =D it's like it's impossible for her not to be quality
amazing story
Amazing story! Continue to write soon!
Amazing story! One of the best I ever read!
Amazing work. Extremely well written with conflicting lead characters, Blaine and Kurt, who battle with their Baptist raising and love for Kurt.
Another amazing fic, this girl can do no wrong
Awesome
Awesome fic
awesome story!!
AWESOME!
Awesomeness.
Beautiful
Beautiful amazing i can't stop loving this.
BEAUTIFUL STORY! Mwah! Mwah! LOVED IT OMG OMG OMFG!!
Beautiful story.
Beautiful.
beautifully written
Beautifully written, I've enjoyed reading every single word of it. Bravo.
Blaine's conflict is so interesting here.
Controversy is always great. This story was amazing.
could read over and over again, no sex but equally amazing
despite all of the christian tendencies in this story, it is by far one of my most favorite. it is beautiful and has such a strong message to most. LOVE.
Didn't know how to read this. But when i started I couldn't stop.
Favorite.
First fic I ever cried at. ... I READ THE SIDHE AFTER, OKAY?
Found through tumblr. Loved it in an instant.
four stars; favorite.
FUCK HSDGAWEHJSDHWASHCBHjhGBADCVSUDVCUAWHHWDH
FUCKING ADORED THIS.
I absolutely love the concept of this fic: Religious!Blaine is now one of my favorite things. It was done wonderfully. (:
I am addicted to this story! :)
I cried so much. I read it all in one go because it was so damn good. And I'm just... stunned.
I find this curiously relevant to my life. I'm a lesbian at a Christian school (in fact McKlainely High helped me come to terms with it), with highly fundamentalist friends, and this story really helps me. It's just BRILLIANT.
I have never cried so much while reading a fic. I love you!
I just love this fanfic, canĀ“t get enough!
I love this story :D
I love this story so very much. It is beautiful and it speaks to me on a very personal level. Even the first two chapters have made me feel all kinds of emotions and I've teared up more than once. I'm bisexual, you see, but I'm also a dedicated Christian-- for whatever that phrase may mean. I believe in God more than I believe in my own two hands, and I've spent hours, days, weeks, praying about my sexuality. It's something I've definitely come to terms with and my belief in God is actually strengthened because of who I am, I think. But there are so many people in the world who don't understand... I've been shunned and scolded by one of my closest friends for being bi, and it really is just... awful. So I feel like you're writing this story in a time I need it most. It is soothing to me, and I am just so thankful that you're writing this. Your writing is impeccable, and I am so grateful for everything you do. Thank you, and I can't wait to see where you take this :)
I love this. So much. Possibly the most of any religious Klaine story.
i love u!! i adore u fics!!
I really like this story!
i loved this story!!!
I really love this story, I think Blaine's adorable, I really just want to hold him, and Kurt is beyond wonderful the way he's helping him. It's interesting to me as an atheist to read from Blaine's pov, and to learn more about the religions. I love it. Can't wait for more. c:
I really, really love this story! :)
In all honesty, this story has brought me to tears, in a good way, a must read!
It's just so sad.
just beautiful
Keep an open-mind and embrace a change in perspective like an old friend you haven't seen in years. One you maybe shouldn't have fallen out of touch with
Lalalalal on my god!
Love
love love love it i like how it goes into religion and stuff!!!
Love this story
Love.
Loveliest story ever
New absolute favorite
Not a religious person, but this was a beautiful story and hit the core message very obviously.
Okay this fic has the power to change your opinion on LIFE. Thats how incredibly moving it is. It's the type of story where if u replaced Kurt's and Blaine's names it'd make one hell of an original story.
OMG i love it! Found it On Tumblr ITS FANFUCKINGTASTIC
omg.
please update
Powerful!! and Awesome!
really love it!!!
Religious! Adorable! <3
Sadly beautiful.
So great. I have never connected to a character so much in my life! I feel like Kurt was based off of me or something! Haha! Beautifully written and has honestly never made me feel more understood!
So well written, has an amazing plot and is completely inspiring and so very, very interesting.
Such a good prompt, and damn, the write is flawless.
that was lovely, I loved it
The amazing gift beautifulwhatsyourhurry has for storywriting is spellbounding
this fic is WONDERFUL
This is just kjehvkjhewve
This is really carefully thought out and sweet. Poor Blaine. I hope he can reach a happy place soon.
This is seriously one of the best stories you've ever written; not just because of the words but you can tell how devoted you are.. bravo, kudos to you Jamie!
this made me cry. Its beautifully written. there are not enough words to describe how much i enjoy this.
This story is amazing and you handled the sensitive topics in it so beautifully!
This was beautiful. It made me cry so much because I was going through a difficult time in which I could relate so much to the conflicting emotions Blaine was experiencing and it helped through a tough time.
too awesome for words
very good!
Well well, quite good.
Where Blaine is a Baptist, and IT IS BEAUTIFUL. You loved this story, it was better than most fanfics, not only because of the language, but also because of the Plot. Dear Lord, THE PLOT!!!!
You are one of the best fanfiction writers ever!
You have no idea how much I love this story!!!
