(Originally published September 2, 2018) It's 1989 and Blaine has been disowned by his parents. Lost in New York, he stumbles upon a found family in the House of Evangelista, but his heart is drawn to the vogue champion Porcelain Abundance. A Glee/Pose AU. Written for the 2018 Todaydreambeliever Klaine Fic Exchange.

Author's Notes: Original prompt: "Rivals to Lovers--Crossover with FX show Pose. Kurt and Blaine are members of rival houses. Kurt can be a veteran who wins lots of trophies and Blaine is a new arrival who was kicked out by his parents when they found out he was gay. He comes to New York with no money and nowhere to go." This was such a fun prompt, especially since I have really gotten into this first season of Pose (and I'm so happy there will be a Season Two...Ryan don't fuck it up!). Plus my brain is now running a permanent loop of 80s club hits. Thanks for the prompt Cinnamon-T, and thanks Slayediest/NotARelationship for pulling double duty as being my beta and running this whole darn thing!
