Fandom: Glee 2x16 "Original Song" and Pretty Little Liars

Okay, here we go. I know a lot of people are really feeling happy about this episode and do not want to be brought down. You should probably not read this, then. There's some positive, but quite a bit of negative, too.

( Spoilers )

I am actually ridiculously glad for a hiatus. UGH.

One thing about Pretty Little Liars, though! That this made me think about, because I watched PLL last night.

(1) Exhaustion!brain so much that right before I woke up for work, I dreamed I hooked up with Sam at a party. Yeah, of all the Glee hook-up dreams I could have, Sam is my first? Really, brain? REALLY?

Pretty good kisser, though. And actually, after watching the episode, I'd hit that.

Glee fic: Sometimes Lost, Rachel and Brittany

(First, some excellent Quinn meta here, by some_stars.)

Series Title: Tied Up In Strings
Song Inspiration: "Somebody" Scala and the Kolacny Brothers (cover)
( lyrics sample )

Series Summary: The last thing any of them expected -- except maybe Brittany, who despite some of the wild things she said and believed, had an uncanny knack for understanding the emotional turmoil beneath any surface -- was that by the end of senior year, the entire senior glee club would be in one big interchangeable relationship. They called each other a team and a family, and that was true enough as it goes, but at the same time it told the whole story, it blurred the details. The mix and match was complicated enough in high school, but faced with the outside world after graduation, they decided they had two options: Let the relationship(s) die a post-graduation death, or fight like hell for each other no matter how hard it got.

When you've somehow managed to build your entire world around a group of opinionated, passionate, driven people, it really shouldn't come as a surprise when they all throw themselves at option number two.

These are scenes from their lives.

Tied Up in Strings

Title: Sometimes Lost
Author: escritoireazul
Written for: A moment in "Original Song" where I went, wait, what? How does she even know about that? And then I decided this was how. Set between "Sexy" and "Original Song."
Rating: 13+
Word Count: 1100
Author's Note: This is a transformative work of fiction for the television show Glee. It is the second in a series about the mass polyamorous relationship the senior members of glee club formed by senior year. I played pretty fast and loose with their ages, but so does the show, so I don't feel bad. Title from "My Headband" by Rachel Berry.

Summary: Brittany looks so sad where she sits on the piano, and Rachel cannot bring herself to walk away and leave her alone.
