Dalton

Pilot: Windsor House

Author's Notes:

Hi! I'm CP Coulter, your author for this little fic.

"Dalton" is a work of fiction. I don't own anything from Glee, only my insane verse and the original characters, scenarios, and situations that go with it.

Dalton is my first "big" fanfic (and by that I mean it's longer than several thousand words), and first created a few years ago one lazy lunchbreak in my office cubicle, when I began to ponder the misadventures of Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson in the all-boy's school, Dalton Academy. It has since taken off from there.

Dalton is being reposted here on Wattpad, and was originally posted in full (and can still be found there) in Fanfiction.net and in Archive of Our Own.

I want to absolutely thank the entire Glee fandom, the Klainers especially, for their unbelievable support to one another and their fanfic environment. :)

The idea of this came from turning over ideas in my head about what Kurt and Blaine's life in Dalton might be like... So in fair warning, I think I can safely say that this "Dalton" will not be following the Glee continuity. All the better for it, I imagine-the writers are fantastic and they've got one hell of a hit going, and this work is at best, a dilution of that excellence.

Dalton begins after "Furt". Dalton will star Kurt and Blaine, of course, but the rest of the cast will also be given their due emphasis. It's my own little attempt at a "spinoff" show.

All that said, I don't require your reviews (but some would be very nice), because I just hope you'll enjoy it or read it as something to kill time. For the most part, I'm letting the characters go on by themselves as I write them down. Also, some of the things that happen here might be taken off from my own experience in private school.

I hope you enjoy it. :)

"...and so I told Mrs. Ramsey that I really didn't care if I have to stay in a dorm; it's long enough a commute for gas money and I just can't stand the thought of having to have my dad pay for any more than he and Carole already have..." Kurt hugged the books to his chest and kept his head down.

Blaine considered this posture. Kurt held himself ramrod straight with good bearing as usual, but the way he kept his head down and refused to look most Dalton boys in the eye made it clear that he had yet to become truly comfortable in the new environment.

Blaine glanced at David, who was looking up from where he had been previously studying sheet music, also glancing at Kurt. The two Warblers exchanged a glance that acknowledged what they had both noticed, and the lead Warbler turned to the prospective one: "Well, we'd be more than happy to have you at our dorm, of course."

"Oh, you board?" Kurt blinked up at him.

"Windsor." Blaine nodded, averting his gaze with as much of a casual air as he could adopt-whenever Kurt bestowed the full power of those incredible cesious eyes (at the moment amplified by the floods of sunlight from the bay windows) towards him, thinking rationally became difficult.
