glee_fansIt's been a while since I've posted one of these. Some of us may still be on holiday break so it's a perfect time to check in on some fannish fun with Glee while the show is on hiatus and fests are starting to post their works.
You think this is hard? Try writing a Glee/Inception crossover. That's hard! //by anon//pg//~1800
Hilarious Glee/Inception crossover. It's not finished but the four parts are worth a laugh.
“As you’ve noticed, Principal Figgins has decreed we needed some new coaches.” Will gave them a dark look. “This is Mr. Cobb, Mr. Saito, Mr. Eames, Mr. Syl--”
“Arthur. Just Arthur is fine.”
“Hey,” A bespectacled boy wheeled himself over. “My name’s Arthur too. But I go by Artie.”
“Someone tried to call me Artie once.” Arthur said. “I shot them in the face.”
There was a pause.
“But that was just a dream.” Arthur added.
“Right.” Artie moved away.

Will/Sue with references to pegging.
Shannon just shakes her head. “You should just stay away from her as much as possible,” she advises. “It’s what I do, and it works out pretty well for me.”
“Kind of difficult when I’m her favorite puppy to kick around.”
“You know, Will,” Shannon says, thoughtfully, “you might want to think about how much of that is Sue actually doing the kicking, and how much of it is you always finding ways to get under her boot.”
And Other Idioms//by stainofmylove//pg-13//~1390
Plausible one time visit between Rachel and Puck while he is in juvie. This story really displayed the Rachel/Puck dynamic of the show without skewing either of them.
“No, Berry,” he laughs. “You’re just a sight. Haven’t seen a chick in ages. Apart from my mom, who hardly counts.”
“Noah,” she wonders briefly if he’s lost track of time, but decides that he just must be over exaggerating. For emphasis. “It’s barely been a week. Six days, really.”
“Like I said.” Then he halfway leers, like his heart might not be totally in it. “So, you been counting the days, huh?”
Gleefics just held their anon holiday spirit exchange. Go check out the fics. Here are some that caught my fancy.
Foolproof/pg//1500
Rachel discovers Finn and Puck are hot for each other. It kind of moves up the plan for her life. POV from Rachel, Finn, Santana, Puck
Her name is Rachel Berry and her boyfriend is gay. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to solving it, right? It’s what her dads always try to tell her anyways. The fact that her boyfriend is gay isn’t even the real problem - that has always been a part of her life plan. It’s the timing more than anything else.
She looks at the bullet points she has written out for this particular situation in frustration.
Age: 25
Location: New York
Occupation: Broadway Actress
Situation: Rachel is happily dating one of her male co-stars until photos get leaked of him being intimate with another man.
Public opinion: Poor Rachel Berry must feel so betrayed.
Effect on career: Positive. Invites to appear on talk shows are only a matter of time, magazine deals are not out of the question.
Just to Hold the Hands I Love//pg//4624
Sweet, exact piece following Quinn after the birth to her first Christmas without the baby.
They spend almost exactly twenty-four hours together, just the three of them, sheltered from the rest of the world in the quiet stillness of Quinn’s hospital room. And then, just as quickly as Beth pushed her way into Quinn’s life, it is time for her to leave it.
“Are you ready?” Puck asks, squeezing in next to the both of them on her hospital bed.
Quinn’s got her knees pulled up with their baby nestled comfortably against her thighs. She’s been like that all morning, staring intently at Beth’s face, trying to commit every little bit of her to memory.
No.
Holiday Trappings//pg-13//1,422
Dialogue heavy Santana/Mercedes fling with background/past unrequited Quinn/Mercedes, Quinn/Sam, Mercedes/Puck, Brittany/Santana, Santana/Puck
"Yeah, we were going to see my grandma, in Seattle."
"And?"
"And what?"
"And...aren't you upset? Missing out on, I don't know, whatever it is black people do at Christmas?"
"Whatever black people do? What, do you think we sacrifice babies and kittens? We do the same thing everyone does: Christmas tree, presents, big dinner, etc, etc."
"Okay, so sorry for being offensive, princess. So aren't you upset about not being there for that?"
All We Can Do Is Keep Breathing//pg-13//5,719
Finn and Quinn have a conversation. This fic allowed the awkwardness to breathe and be worked through, which really helped the story be strong. Background Finn/Rachel and Sam/Quinn.
And he’s not the smartest, he knows because she used to tell him that, but he can pick up on things. The way her face falls, the way her smile doesn’t quite reach her eyes, the sad tone her voice carries—she just seems so sad. And maybe it should be weird to be sitting in Quinn Fabray’s living room, having a real conversation with the girl who turned his life upside down, but it’s not, really. It just feels normal. Like he’s supposed to be listening to her.
The Four Seasons//pg//4762
Artie and Tina find each other again through four seasons. Past Artie/Brittany, Tina/Mike. Lovely progression between the two of them that flows so well.
"Your heart is pounding," she commented.
"I wonder why," he replied, still stunned by what had happened. He was silent, trying to work out how that had happened, and what happened now.
"Don't," Tina said suddenly, looking up at him and giving a fond smile.
"Don't what?"
"I know you. Don't over analyze this, not tonight. The evening has been wonderful, leave the worrying about things until tomorrow." She snuggled in closer to him, and he instinctively wrapped his arms around her. "It’s taken a while, but we've got this far, Artie. Just enjoy it."
Baby, It’s Cold Outside//pg-13//~ 4,000
Brittany and Santana frolic in the snow. Cute, sexy, feels very much like them.
It’s Mike Chang’s fault. Him and that Asian girlfriend of his, Tina. If he hadn’t raved to Brittany about their tradition of cutting down their own damn tree every year, Brittany wouldn’t have come home with stars in her eyes, raving about how they should get a real tree too and then Santana wouldn’t be here right now. She hates that look Brittany gives her - the one that makes Santana want to do stupid things like hug Brittany or smile or make a joke that is entirely lame just to wipe the damn sad expression off her face.
When It Snows, Ain’t It Thrilling//r//~4000
Rachel and Tina practice for a duet.
Tina didn't know what she expected Rachel's house to look like, but it certainly wasn’t this. She had thought maybe it would be something with a turret and a long winding driveway? Or maybe something more modern with brushed chrome and expensive track lighting and a lot of seats so Rachel could make her dads watch her performances. Then she realized she was thinking of an auditorium, and while she was pretty sure Rachel would live in one if she could it was still ridiculous.
