5. The look they exchange is one they always do- it's habit now so it doesn't matter that they're not talking. The look means 'We're gonna lose' and both of them hate knowing that. After they lose, Finn stays behind in the empty gym, shooting hoops on his own. Puck shows up and asks to play and so they do, because Finn figures Puck's the only guy who understands how much it sucks being a loser all the time. And they're both playing to win. And Finn's in the lead at first, but then Puck takes the lead. And Finn gets mad and shoves Puck against the wall. Puck looks like he expects Finn to hit him, but he doesn't flinch, and Finn's not sure why, but it makes him kiss Puck. It's angry kissing, and Finn grinds Puck against the wall, and they're both rough, grabbing at each other, making out in the empty gym. But then there's a noise and they jump apart. But no one's there. It's killed the moment though, so Finn turns and walks away. But just before he leaves the gym, Puck calls out "I'll be home all evening" and Finn doesn't respond but he knows he'll show up on Puck's doorstep that night.

Uh. Lol, sort of summarised scenarios! Sorry, that was long!

I love looking for hidden meanings in stuff! It's a big part of the fun!

Ooh, I'm not much for genderfuck fic, but I would read a fic like that so hard! Brilliant! You should make this fic happen, I think!

Puck would do terrible things in Finn's body, don't you think? Like, terrible but awesome! and Finn would >:( a lot and threaten to do things with Puck's body. And Puck wouldn't care. Until Finn threatened the mohawk!

[bluejbird]

These scenarios are AWESOME! I'm not sure which one I like the best though 3 & 4 are kind of one awesome story all unto themselves :)

I don't actually go for it much myself but the idea of Puck and Finn using it as an excuse seemed funny :) I wish I was a writer. I have no trouble coming up with scenarios but I just don't have the knack for writing. Good thing for me that there are authors out there like you to fill the void with their good writing right? :)

Oh, you know Puck would be awful just to mess with Finn but the mohawk is off limits :)

The two of them could make-out while they are in the other's body...find out what their own appeal was ;)

[bluejbird]

:) Thanks! Sorry for spamming though! They turned out much longer than I anticipated!

You should put your idea on the kink_meme or something, and maybe we'll get some more Finn/Puck fic from people! Because the void really is ridiculously empty. I don't get why people aren't writing about these boys!

Finn and Puck making out while in each others bodies is genius, btw. And, like, it totally wouldn't count as gay like that, right? Since really they're just kissing themselves. ;)

[bluejbird]

oh, don't apologize...long is good!

Believe me, I've put many Finn/Puck ideas out there and every once in a while they get picked up, but the stories out there are sadly lacking. Which make your stories even more of a treat :)

heh, yeah it doesn't count if it's really your own body..it's more like masturbation or at least that's how they could justify it ;)

[bluejbird]

Hehe, I'm trying really hard not to make a 'that's what she said' joke there. :)

I'm glad you're putting Finn/Puck ideas out there! Maybe one day soon there will be a revolution and we'll be drowned in Fuck fic. Who knows?

I reckon those boys would definitely justify that situation like that. And presumably when they switch back they'll find an excuse to justify carrying on too!

Because the void really is ridiculously empty. I don't get why people aren't writing about these boys!

TELL ME ABOUT IT. I've left about thirty prompts in the kink meme, and only three or four of them are NOT for Finn/Puck. (Seriously, if you pick a prompt from the meme for Finn/Puck, there's probably about a 50/50 chance it's one of mine) It's enough that I filled one of them a while back and am now kicking around a sequel idea. My biggest problem, though, is that I can't write smut. If I could, I'd be filling the rest of my prompts too. *disgusted sigh* Almost every fandom I'm in, I fall for the underdog pairings, not the popular ones. Makes it almost impossible to find anything.

I think why the pairing doesn't get the love it deserves is because people are so tied into the whole Kurt/Puck thing. And... I just don't see it. Okay, there's the 'Puck picks on Kurt because he's secretly attracted to him' idea, but... Honestly, I just can NOT see Puck and Kurt in a lasting relationship. Finn/Puck, though? Totally. And not just because I'm biased by it being my OTP.

That bodyswap fic will be awesome - I can't wait.

I went looking for Finn/Puck prompts to write the other day, and it was disappointing how many of them aren't filled! I actually got excited when I came across one that was, until I realised that I'd filled it anonymously! LOL

There are so many brilliant prompts there, and I just hope people pick up some ideas! It's exciting that you're writing them- you should definitely write whatever idea you're kicking around and then post it somewhere where I can find it because damn, I would give my left arm for new fic to read!

It's weird, because normally I end up shipping, if not the most popular pairing, then one that is really popular anyways. when I saw the first ep of Glee (a couple of months back, I'm super late to the show) I immediately shipped Finn and Puck and expected to discover a wealth of fic when I got into the fandom. I still think it's weird that there's not, because other fandom's I've been in? That sort of relationship/situation would generate all of the angsty fic in the world.

I don't like to speak ill of other people's otps but yeah, I personally can't see Kurt/Puck either. I can see Kurt/Finn for sure, although it doesn't really interest me, but I guess the whole 'boys only tease girls they like' old saying really doesn't hold up for me when you reach the realm of dumpster diving and pee balloons. But then that might just be me wishing some of those people would write Finn/Puck too. Hell, I'd take Finn/Puck/Kurt if that's all that's on offer! :D

Oh, thanks, I hope it lives up to expectations! I'm stalled because I find Rachel a challenging character to get right, but it's halfway done, which is at least something!

[dgcatanisiri]

God, isn't Rachel difficult? I'm writing her in my sequel idea as an antagonist character (because she still wants Finn, even when he's with Puck), and I'm also trying to present her as still having something to her that is sympathetic, that she's not being intentionally malacious, just single-mindedly focused on Finn to the point of being unable to see that he belongs with Puck. And it's DIFFICULT. But when I wrote out her motivations and took it from Point A to B to C, it made sense and it felt (to me) as if, even if you didn't agree with her reasoning, you could understand it.

I do agree with you that the Kurt/Puck interactions we've seen have been more in the realm of out and out hostility and not acting on repressed homosexuality. If it is about repressed homosexuality, it's about Puck lashing out at the guy with the stones to actually be out and proud about it while Puck is too afraid of losing status to be honest about who he is. But there is no, IMO, attraction being acted out here.
