Find Me in the Shallows by clarkvilles

Rachel and Quinn see each other for the first time in years at their twenty year reunion.

I looove a good high school reunion, finding each other as adults fic. LOVE!! This one was a little bit more focused on Rachel's emotional journey, working through her sexuality (a little bit later in life, which is fun!) and her feelings for Quinn. I really liked this!!!

An Outro by too_true

The Glee Club is trapped inside their school the day the world ends.

ok listen. LISTEN. this story is fucked up. it is fucked UP. (and I loved it)

listen though. look at me and listen.

this story is really fucked up.

no but ok, it's an apocalypse story. it's the end of the world. a lot of people die. like A LOT of people.

however, I did really reeeally enjoy this story and I absolutely do recommend it!! it was a wild ride and I couldn't put it down.

I just also want to give fair warning. it can be a bit graphic, for one. the other part is the people dying thing. spoilers under the cut.

I won't explicitly say who dies tragic and horrible deaths, but generally, as a blanket rule, if you don't want to read about any major glee characters dying *that aren't quinn and rachel!!!*, then this story probably isn't for you. like give it a go if you want anyway, but you've been warned!

oh also, cannibalism!

It's Hard To Look Right At You Baby (So Call Me, Maybe?) by orphan_account

"The girl is beautiful, her hair long and dark, eyes covered by a pair of sunglasses, her pink sports-bra clinging tightly to her body, her yoga pants clinging to her every curve as well, her white skin - only barely tanned by the sun - is glistening in the sun. A headphone cord is dangling delicately with her every step as she runs, her iPod clutched in her hand, her high pony bobbing up and down. “Wow,” Finn whispers. Quinn is just speechless. “She’s - she’s gorgeous.” Finn continues. Now, the only reason Quinn doesn’t scream “I call dibs” (besides the fact that screaming in public is not the Fabray way of doing things) is because, well, firstly, Finn doesn’t know about her being a lesbian, and also because she’s so tired of seeing him look sad and lonely and at least if he has a hot girl to obsess over, he won’t be looking at her with those puppy eyes. And girls aren’t property to ‘call dibs’ on anyway. She feels tempted to do it anyway. According to every romcom she has ever seen, friends are not allowed to hit on someone you think is hot." OR Quinn finally stopped dating Finn, just in time for the both of them to see their dream girl - the same girl.

i wonder if you live there still (i kinda think you always will) by sevensevan

Boats in the Sky by WaveGoodbye

The lines couldn't blur with Rachel. They hadn't. Quinn would close her eyes and think that it was just like the times she was on vacation and see the boats so far in the distance that they looked like they were in the sky. It was impossible. Nothing more than a trick of the mind.

Lowkey, this was that fic that I put off reading for a million and a half years because it became too big in my mind. We all have those, yeah? I just knew I would love this one and anticipated it so much that I kept feeling like I needed to save it for something lmao.

Alas, finally a year and a half after I started reading faberry fics and was first told to read this, I have finally read this fic!!!!

AND YES I LOVED IT!!!! SO MUCH!!!!

It's such a wonderful faberry college au, faberry friends to lovers story. like one of the best of both of those, separately and together.

It's basically: what if they used the train passes? What if they became best friends? What if they fell in love?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :)

to want everything with all you have by Kendarrr

Ten years ago, Quinn got married, as did Rachel, to different people. What began as slow dancing at the reception of Mr. Schue's successful wedding transformed into the greatest love affair of the lives of Rachel and Quinn.

this was soooo good and soooo juicy, and creates such an interesting world that I want more of!!!!

bless the broken road (that led me straight to you) by withoutmymuse

in a desperate attempt to flee her failing broadway career, rachel berry ends up at fabray farm — located in the middle of nowhere, luling, texas — hired as a mentor for the summer youth theatre program. she is there for a reset, a chance to breathe before going back to her very real problems in her real life. nobody told her that real life might already be there, waiting in a faded blue truck driven by a blonde in a cowboy hat who has no interest in being impressed by her.

so sweet and soft and comforting! I loved it!

Rachel, in her desperate need to have Quinn return to glee club, strikes a deal. And so their senior year transpires in a wildly different form than how she imagined it to go. All because Quinn wanted to make out with her.

Just a Shirt by TripUpStairs

Rachel thinks of Finn at times, but there's a shirt from NYADA in her room waiting to be given to her significant someone with a tag that reads size small and not extra-large. A post "Goodbye" oneshot.

short and simple, but just really sweet??? I liked it!!

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.
