I've fallen into a weird funk after posting that last chapter
Ah, post-WIP funk. It's a thing. Just remember you finished something huge and gorgeous and are therefore an awesome human.
they two being able to make a third person feel amazing. I think they would both really enjoy that... But now, of course, I have to consider what Mike would want, and also how they would all negotiate it with Tina, depending on the status of Tina & Mike's relationship.
That's my personal favourite angle -- K and B working together to be good to someone else. Hits my teamwork kink.
The demise of Mike/Tina presents an obvious woe/comfort scenario, if we're cataloging catalysts. I'm actually really into the idea of a foursome, though. Why leave poor Tina out?! She's kinky and brave and feminist, and would probably be highly useful as an orchestrator. I like it for them because it strengthens their safety net a bit: equal (greater!) opportunities for exploration and discovery, yet everyone has someone present who knows them well and loves them best; everyone has someone to go home with. And I could see that happening over the summer between S3 and S4, whereas I'd be happier about a straight-up threesome after Kurt and Blaine have worked through all their mumbletyspoilers and everybody's grown up a bit. Comfortable-old-friends dynamic, mmm.
Love your Blaine meta. out_there just wrote a great story that hits that nail right on the head; have you seen it? Types, re: Breaking Them
I had not read this one yet, but now I have! Thank you, that was a stellar treatment of Blaine.

Ah, this makes for a very different dynamic in my head. I like it. I like it a lot, but I'll have to ponder it for a while to get a feel for what I'd do with it. S4 Tina is kinda throwing me off a little at this stage too, so it's something that might require me getting a better feel for where she is now to better get where she was over the summer maybe. Because, yeah, I think the summer would be a time for initial explorations -- perhaps along with the photo taking. Maybe Tina is even more of an instigator for them? Perhaps she has the camera and is directing the three boys, and that's when things start getting a bit more risqué, because she knows things, and Blaine also knows things. Hmm.
It does put more emotional weight on Kurt and Blaine getting with Mike post his break-up with Tina (and after they've sorted their mumbletyspoilers†) if the four of them play over the summer, and I always like more emotional weight to my porn. Oh, and it makes for a more complex relationship between Blaine and Tina in the choir room this season, too. Hmm! /rambling

Thank you. This is really helpful to hear. I should stick it to my mirror. Seriously. I expected some brain weirdness after the fact, but I've ended up having to fight off an episode of depression with the attendant awesome feelings of dismal failure, both existential and artistic. I'm mostly coming right now, but bleah. Everything about my mental health (which is not generally great), is complicated by traumatic grief presently, so it's like I'm constantly being ambushed by my own psyche. I have a stupid brain.
