Summary: Blaine waits in the airport for the foreign exchange student from Alsace. (Or, the tale of how Blaine Anderson loses his virginity and falls in love with the hot French exchange student.)

Review:
This is a great little fic. It's funny, hot, and gives you the fuzzy feelings in your tummy. It's something that I often come back to purely to experience the joy of reading it again.

Misqueue has a way with storytelling that, even for a short-ish fic like this, leaves you with a feeling of contentment and a smile on your face. She knows her characters well, even with their additional AU characteristics, and that really contributes to making a fic that you won't forget.

Kurt is a flirty French student, hitting on Blaine right off the bat, and Blaine is just the right level of blushing virgin and charismatic host. There's an undertone of something in their dialogue right from the very beginning, to be played out in full later in the fic. And to a great degree of hotness in a very well-written smut  scene.

Not only is this hot, it's also hilarious. There are no outright jokes or farces, but the whole premise of how Kurt and Blaine have sex for the first time will never not make me giggle. Humour plays a large part in what makes this fic so good, and does so in an excellently subtle way. And then you get the fuzzy feelings too, of course.

So I would definitely recommend spending a good half hour reading this through all at once, and then another several half hours in the future for when you are sure to come back to it.
