Burt Hummel is Our Hero

Burt Hummel, finest character on Glee

wordplaying:

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.
