My Heart Can Never Be Still
Blaine gets admitted into a religious institution meant to cure young men from their homosexuality. There he meets Kurt, who's been there for months and whose assimilation has been going swimmingly, until he meets Blaine.
Author's Notes: Known for two months as ‘1940s!AU’, I finally managed to finish it. Title from Dust Bowl Dance by Mumford and Sons. Mistakes are my own and totally intentional, obviously, I’m testing your grammar skills. Ahem. Okay, let’s get a few things straight because my insecurities want me to talk about them: 1) I am not a historian; I didn’t research this as much as I could have. This takes place in the 1940s, let’s say roughly 1943-ish. The dialogues might be slightly too modern for the era but I relied heavily on the (http://www.etymonline.com/index.php) Online Etymology Dictionary to try and make sure the words used, at least, were contemporary to the setting. 2) Since it covers religion pretty heavily, I feel the need to specify that no, this isn’t purely my opinion and yes, I am aware that it’s not necessarily as extreme as I depicted it. Also, Wikipedia told me I’m allowed to use ‘convent’ even though it’s a school for boys so don’t hit me. One last thing: my search history is now permanently weird and if Google is tracking me, it’s probably confused as hell by my search queries. 3) I multi-ship Rachel. This isn’t much of a disclaimer as it is an observation. I regret nothing. 4) There’s not much smut for a glee_kink_meme fill but ah, yeah, I have no excuse for this except they had too many feels I had to deal with. 5)

Brillinat story with a dark theme. Perfect reading for a lazy day.
heavy as hell, but really, very well written
i love stories where love overcomes everything, espeically crazy fucked up religion that has no business anywhere near true love.
love love love
