A Picture and A Thousand Words by smellslikecraigslist

Kurt has been a photographer most of his life, and now, a high school senior, he's trying to get into one of the toughest schools for photography and the visual arts in the country - NYA. But when Kurt receives devastating news about his portfolio - the one thing that he needs perfect to not only get into the school of his dreams, but win a scholarship to go there - he goes out in search of inspiration. He finds it in a thrift store, in a journal containing the story and photographs of a man that becomes his muse. Kurt goes out in search of him, and not only finds him, but his grandson, Blaine. The two of them have an instant connection, and knowing that they'll both be in New York City next year seems like kismet. But what will happen when Kurt finds out this boy might stand in the way of everything he wants?Warning for mention of bullying, mention of homophobia, mention of minor violence, death of a minor character.I wrote this for the KBL Reverse Bang 2015.
