Today it hit me: there’s a lot of talk about which kids are coming back, but I’m pretty sure this is going to be Burt Hummel’s swan song. Let’s send him off in style.

This is the “wordplay adores Burt Hummel” master post. I’ve written more stories that he’s a character in - he shows up in most of the stuff I have written for Kurt & Blaine - but these are the ones that stick out in my head as having a significant part for Burt to play. 

Good Judgment - rated PG-13 or R - published 2/24/2011 - “Kurt’s always had really good judgment in friends, but Burt’s not too sure about this Blaine kid.”

Kitchen Stories - rated PG - published 2/28/2011 - What Kurt and Burt leave behind when they move out of their old house

One Stitch at a Time - rated G - published 3/30/2011 - Carole teaches Kurt how to knit (included because the Burt in here is one that I love)

Finding A New Script - rated PG-13 - published 4/15/2011- The story of Kurt and Blaine’s first date. (included because there is more great Burt in here)

The Luckiest - rated NC-17 - published 9/4/2011 - A story about Kurt and Blaine, but there’s a conversation with Burt in Chapter Five that I really love, mostly because I really love him. 

It’s Not Unusual - rated PG-13 - published 9/18/2011 - Burt and Carole have the weirdest kids

Adult Content - rated PG-13 to R - published 10/14/2011 - A crisis hits the Hummel-Hudson household

Kurt Hummel Takes a Bubble Bath #1 - rated G - published 11/3/2011 - What it says on the tin

Closed Door - rated R - published 11/16/2011 - “It hits him like a slap to the face, and it’s the simplest little things that bring it on, but once he sees it he can’t stop seeing it, either.”

Thank you, Burt. I’m going to miss you. I will always wish I had you on speeddial for truly excellent parenting advice. Now go kick ass in Washington, and you’re welcome for dinner anytime.

This post is actually perfect, and includes some of my favorite fics.

when you try your best but you don’t succeed

　

when you get what you want but not what you need

could it be worse

when you love someone

but it goes to waste

when you feel so tired

but you can’t sleep

when you lose something you cannot replace

And I will try…to fix you.

It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. -Samwise Gamgee

how will i know

They were known as the Divas.

Sure, they caused a hell of a lot of controversy—the Hispanic, the Negro, the Jew, the Queer. But everyone would zip their traps the moment the Divas came on the radio.

There was Santana with her sultry husk.

Mercedes with her powerful belt.

Rachel with her sheer emotional sound.

And Kurt with his clear angelic lilt.

Together, the four teenagers ruled the airwaves of 1940s America, taking the country by storm. 

Then the 50s hit.

Rachel left to become the famous Rachel Berry on Broadway.

Santana Lopez and Mercedes Jones formed another group, the Troubletones, with Santana’s best friend and roommate, Brittany Pierce.

Kurt Hummel went into fashion, though dearly missed his late night sets. He worked as a tailor for an up and coming a capella group, because they reminded him so much of the Divas and what they once had.

They were later known as the Warblers.

The lead singer went on to become the famous 50s crooner and heartthrob, Blaine Anderson. He encouraged Kurt to rekindle his old singing career and together, the two sold out concert halls across America, as well as overseas. 

The pair gladly retired early to the south of France when the late 60s rolled around and rock n roll started to spark. 

Rachel was still going strong on Broadway at the time when she met Finn Hudson, drummer of the rock band Puckasaurus. They went through an on again off again relationship until their marriage in 1976.

The Troubletones stopped preforming in the early 70s when Mercedes met solo performer Sam Evans and fell in love, their small quiet marriage a year later in 1973.

Santana went into law later on in the late 70s, while Brittany and her old dance partner, Mike Chang, opened a dance studio together.

In 1998, the Divas reunited for a 50th anniversary concert of their #1 hit, “How Will I Know”. They sold out Madison Square Garden as they sang the songs of their youth, aged hands clasped together as they marveled over their sustained friendship.
