Full title: 5 Things That Could Have Happened If Mr Schuster Quit Glee and Became an Accountant
Main Characters or Pairings: Will, Emma, New Directions
Length: 4000
Author on LJ/Author Website: chronic_lady
Why this must be read:
chronic_lady is a master of gen fic, and this story-which stars all twelve Glee kids in an alternate post-Glee timeline-is at once subtle, touching, and terrifying. It redefines preexisting relationships and explores new ones. The imaginative groupings of characters allow for some incredible statements about their personalities and motives. Although all five segments stand well on their own, the order of these “a day in the life” snapshots leaves the story bittersweet and open-ended: how would a story like this really end? Who would’ve been better off without New Directions, and who couldn’t have survived without it? chronic_lady offers us one resounding, beautifully-written answer.
Parts I, II, III, and V are rated PG. Part IV is rated R and contains language, violence, and character death. May be difficult to read.
