This story and title was inspired from Chris Colfer -

When asked what his personal life motto was during the Struck By Lightning Q&A, he responded, and I quote, 'Don't Trip'.

Advanced notice that this story will be long and as it holds a special place in my heart, it will take longer than usual to get chapters out, my perfectionist side simply won't let me pump the out at normal speed.

I thought long and hard about publishing this at all, but after the fantastic reception and reviews of my previous stories, I've decided to bite the bullet and wear my heart on my sleeve with this one.

That being said, I encourage you all to Please Review! And review honestly, if you think it's a pile of crap, please tell me so I don't embarrass myself any further.

This story will be completely AU, but I will be drawing on canon events to help make it flow.

Spoilers - lets just say all aired episodes to be safe.

Warnings - Rated M for language and supernatural/fantasy themes at this stage, but will contain multiple pairings of both same and mixed genders. Also, undecided at this stage, but may contain themes such as MPREG. If that's not your cup of tea, than don't read.

Please note, language is written in Australian/British English.

A heads up, this story will be switching back and forth between times and places, I'll try my best to keep it as readable as possible, but if you find that it makes no sense I implore you to please let me know so I can fix it!

I've not seen this story done before, so if it sounds similar to another, it is not intentional.

Disclaimer - I don't own Glee or it's character's, I'm just borrowing them for my own personal amusement.

Kurt Hummel's life motto is Don't Trip. A tale of a boys struggle to become a man in an ever 'changing' environment.

Re-loaded as now beta'd by the lovely - Brellegenana

I only have one motto in life - Don't Trip. It might sound like I'm exceptionally clumsy or have a fear of public humiliation, but it's so much more than that.

I guess I should start at the beginning... 'what a very good place to start.' Yes, I'm corny like that - deal with it. Anyway, this is a weird arse tale, so you better be ready for it.

First thing you should know is that this world, well, it's not all it seems. Apparently, it all comes down to science, or religion depending on what you believe, but I am so not going into that debate thank you very much Father Flannigan.

There is this genetic anomaly that occurs, it's incredibly rare so don't panic, you probably don't have it. I'm no science geek, so I don't really pay attention when they talk about it. But basically, our DNA doesn't just look like that swirly thing... there's a little arm thing that grows out of it, so yes, I guess you could call us mutants.

This mutation is sort of there from birth, but it needs a catalyst to really make it come out, and it has to happen after puberty. Yeah, I didn't really get that part either. But the catalyst has to be a life threatening event. For me, I tried to commit suicide. I guess that's why I'm so bitter about all of this... because I literally did it to myself. It may never have come out if I didn't.

Yes. I'm gay. No doubt most of you have recoiled in horror now. But, I am who I am and I'm not apologizing for that. Not anymore. So for those who have more than a few brain cells have probably worked out, that was why I tried to kill myself. Not because I thought I was a monster or a sin against nature (thank you again Father Flannigan) but because I was tired. I was tired of being alone. I was tired of the looks, the words and of course the violence.

But after all that has happened and everything I've seen, I just don't care anymore. If you want to think I'm a freak, go ahead, but I guarantee you that what I'm about to tell you is more deserving of that than the fact that I like cock.

So this mutant gene, once it's been activated, it allows us to develop, I guess you would say extra abilities. A few minor things we have in common, like the ability to heal really freaking quickly and a minor amount of pre-cognizance. But the main ability is always different. Mine, well mine is what they call 'Universality'.

What that means is that I travel between universes. Yes, there is more than one. It's almost like a parallel universe, that's the best way for me to describe them. How do I travel between them you might ask? Well, I quite literally fall into them. So like I said - Don't. Trip.

My name is Kurt Hummel, please raise your tray tables and put your seats in the upright position, because I'm about to blow your fucking mind.

Love it? Hate it? Review and let me know why!
