If you’re ever tired of being known for who you know (you’ll always know me) by withoutmymuse

Six years after graduation, Rachel and Quinn live completely different lives, their friendship nonexistent. But when they both return to Lima for Thanksgiving, the only ones from glee to do so, they’re thrown back into each other’s orbit. With nothing left to distract them but a few obstacles in their way, they’re forced to face who they’ve become, the distance between them, and what never really went away.

THANK YOU (and FUCK YOU) for introducing me to something special.. I read it over the last 2 days and Ive been thinking about reading it again?. I dont usually read WIP (cause Ive been burned before but lets face it, we all have) but this one.. I want to eat it.

YOOOOO, THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!! (and muhahahahaha!!!)

dude, I haven't been able to pick up another fic since I read Something Special because I can't move on from it....instead I made a fanmix/playlist for it lmaooo

thank you sincerely for this ask because I'm so glad to know I've been able to successfully share the joy/wonder/distress of this fic :)

(also I've been thinking about reading it again too bc it's definitely a story that plants a lot of seeds early on before you know what they mean, and I think I'd pick up a LOT on a re-read!!)

Something Special by rosenland

Rachel Berry had always known that she would grow up to be special. Fortunately, the universe agreed. Unfortunately, it had a very different definition of the word in mind. Or, the one where Glee Club is a top-secret program for extraordinary teenagers and Rachel's voice is her literal super-power.

hey what’s up, do y’all mind if I write paragraphs real quick?

This fic is...well, something special. (Something...extraordinary, even?)

This fic is well-written. It’s funny. The characterization is phenomenal. The relationships are unique and interesting, well-explored and well-developed.

The plot is deeply intriguing and compelling. The mystery unfolds more and more with each chapter, questions answered, answers leading to more questions. It’s fascinating and suspenseful and leaves you on the edge of your seat.

Quinn and Rachel’s relationship is a perfect slowburn, a masterclass really. We begin with them at the earliest stages of their relationship. Pure animosity between them.

And then we watch it change. Slowly. Piece by piece. One small interaction. A moment of vulnerability. It’s growing and evolving, and to bear witness to it in a story like this is so goddamn beautiful.

This story also does one of my most favorite things that a fic can do, which is lean in on the physical intimacy of their relationship. Emphasizing touches and hands, and making this a foundational aspect of their relationship without ever even talking about it, without naming it. Without admitting that it means anything.

I fear I could go on and on about this fic forever - there really is so much to say. But just know that it’s fucking GOOD, okay? It’s like stupidly good. I’ve read hundreds of faberry fics and this one shot to the top of my favorites. It’s a work in progress that’s being actively updated (most recently mere days ago), and it’s already 170k words deep. Act II just ended so if you’re not reading it yet, it’s a perfect time to jump in (with me, I just got here!) and see out Act III, and what I presume is the rest of this fic, with the rest of us. It’s well-worth it, and I can’t recommend it enough.

a murder, but not a crime by andawaywego

"Rachel laughs. 'Hey, you’re not the one who did it! I’m the one with the metaphorical blood of a dozen baby chicks on my hands, not you. As well as those poor tires I mutilated.'” Faberry. Post-season six.

This is a rather quick one shot, but gosh gosh, I just have a special place in my heart for a canon compliant post-canon/post season 6 fic! Especialllyyyy when klaine's faberry baby is involved haha. This one was very cute :)

Pushing It Down and Praying by futchfabray

Quinn is living vicariously through Finn.

I'm obsessed with this fic. basically, quinn makes finn tell her in detail what it was like to be with rachel and then quinn gets off to it, and somehow the audio of it gets caught on tape and leaked to the school and everyone knows what a FREAK quinn is, including rachel. LIKE!!!

listen. LISTEN!!!! quinn is a freak. she's the biggest freak of all time, we know this!!! and this story just encapsulates that so perfectly.

it's currently in progress at the time of this posting, but I highly encourage everyone to go read and enjoy it now, and comment and tell the author how fuckinnnggg genius they are ty tyvm.

Here Comes Your Ghost Again by purpleskystar

Twenty years after Lima, Quinn runs into Rachel at a party in New York. The night becomes a peculiar confluence: more than half a lifetime’s history, unspooling itself as Quinn confronts everything she thought had left her behind a long time ago, and Rachel faces the reasons her life hasn’t lived up to the grandeur she once imagined.

A lovely faberry story set when they're older and a lot of years and life has passed, and they're finding each other again.

Professions by skittles84

A series of one shot AUs in which Quinn and Rachel are in different professions in every story. The stories include: Librarian/Author, Chef/Florist, Veterinarian/Lawyer, and more.

I loved theeessee. I spent the past week or two working my way through these stories and I greatly enjoyed all of them! They're mostly just really cute and enjoyable, usually meet cutes where we get to see faberry meet and fall in love in different worlds - but some of them could be really unexpected, branching into some different genres. I had a great time all around!

You Know Where You Are With by leerths

Quinn doesn't panic. She doesn't do panic. Or fluster. Or irrational internal spirals over inconsequential things like former academic rivals-slash-accidental allies-slash-girls-who-sometimes-text-at-midnight-about-obscure musicals-and-then-pretend-it-meant-nothing. OR: The weekend Rachel visits Quinn at Yale and they stop pretending their constant texting is just friendly.

TENSION! TENSION! TENSION! TENSION!

I loved this

Easy After Midnight by triptohere

Rachel decides to relieve some tension. This does not quite go to plan, and continues to be unexpected for some time after. Set just after Michael, and further chapters incorporate events up to and beyond On My Way.

This story starts one way (which I loved), and then pivoted and went a completely different direction after (which was unexpected, but still fun!). Primarily, this is a post-On My Way story - so all the fun that comes with Quinn's accident, recovery, and everyone dealing with their feelings in the face of life-or-death. It also features multiple points of view from all sorts of glee characters, but the author did well with it and was clearly having fun. I think they did a great job using the multiple points of view to weave the story together.

Paradise is here by thegirl20

Rachel has an announcement to make.

reader beware, this one's...different lol. it's not a poly fic but it almost is, and if you're completely uninterested in entertaining a scenario where rachel and quinn have a poly foursome sex thing going with santana and brittany, then this one's probably not for you. that said, this isn't smut, so if you are super into that, sorry! this is somewhere in the middle of a poly fic and a faberry fic, leaning much more faberry. I liked it!

Finding Prince Charming by Celtic Quill

Sometimes, Prince Charming rides a white horse. Sometimes, he lives in a castle. Sometimes, he is the person you would least expect. And sometimes, Prince Charming isn't a prince at all.

"I hate her so much, and it's making me think about her non-stop..."

I knew I was gonna love this fic from the second I read this line in the first chapter. nothing has ever better summed up the way that quinn thinks about rachel, and I'm obsessed with it lmao.

and obsessed with this story overall!! love me a friends to lovers slow burn!!! and slow burn it WAS. and being first person from quinn's pov, it's an interesting limited perspective story, because that girl can be sooo oblivious lol. we get serious yearning if that's your thing, and plenty of jealousy because rachel is dating finn. all in all, it was a delightful time, and this author is a great writer. this story had me grinning and laughing out loud time and time again.

this is another one that's incomplete, but worth the read! I'm gonna stop trying to convince y'all, you should just trust me. read it anyway!

Please, Listen. by TectonicWait

They say the ones that know you the best can hurt you the most, so Quinn is careful and she is cruel. She is sure that Rachel will never know. Until she does, and everything starts to unravel. Faberry forever. (Slightly AU, no babygate).
