Summary: We are shown early on that life isn’t like a fairytale or a legend. However, there are those rare cases when something magical happens. Finn Hudson’s case is in the more extreme version of things. After breaking into a house on a dare, he meets Will who is a really nice guy with a killer voice. Problem is that he’s kind of cursed to look like a horrible beast.
Suddenly Finn finds himself spending time with Will and falling a little bit in love. However, his best friend and his ex-girlfriend are keeping a secret. He has to help start a lesbian relationship. And in the midst of all this, he needs to make his happy ending. No said being in your own fairytale would be easy after all. It just makes life so much more interesting.

Kurt's trying desperately to get over his crush on Finn, but with everything that's happened in the past year, it isn't easy. But this is high school. Nothing is ever easy in high school.

Title: Home (1/4)
Author: breea1
Rating: NC17
Pairing: Puck/Kurt
Betas: fakexamaxdear and themegaloo who were incredibly helpful regarding the American education system and pointing out that Ruth would be at least two years older than I origially had her! Thank you, ladies!
Synopsis: It’s the summer after their graduation from college and two members of the glee club head back to Lima before moving onto the next stage of their lives. Kurt is about to run into Noah Puckerman once more and finds that the young single dad he meets now is a world away from the jock he knew in high school. There’s one small girl, an aversion to pink, apathetic summer students, inspirational teachers and years of mistrust and resentment to work through before they can even think about their happy ending - and they first have to notice they even want one. Quinn helps.

A/N & WARNING : This is NOT posted in it's complete form because I have been trying for the last four freakin' HOURS and LJ just won't let me. I'm taking this chance to get the first chapter up so I meet the big bang deadline, but it's half past three in the morning now and I can't stay awake any longer on the off chance LJ is now going to behave. The other three parts will be linked in tomorrow.

Title: Hold On to What You Believe
Author: darkindegrees
Artist: mrtoulouse
Genre: Gen, femslash, AU. I keep calling it gen, but technically femslash
Word Count: ~23,000
Rating: R
Characters/Pairings: Rachel/Quinn, Finn, Puck, Mercedes, Kurt, Santana, mentions of pretty much everyone else in glee club.
Warnings/Spoilers: Violence, though not too explicit. Character death.
Author's Note: This was betaed by squire_conrad, who has my eternal thanks for betaing this and helping me not be so obvious with the Britishness. The last part is unbetaed because I finished it late but was looked over by a friend, and I messed about with other parts so all remaining mistakes are entirely my own. Title is taken from a Mumford & Sons song, which will appear on the soundtrack when it uploads.
Summary: AU. In a world where superpowers are fairly commonplace, there is always going to be someone who hunts those with 'powers they want. The Legion is desperate to get their hands on first Rachel Berry and then Quinn Fabray and Quinn still doesn't know how all this happened to her. She is willing to bet, however, that it's all Rachel's fault. Written for gleebigbang

Characters/Pairings: Quinn/Rachel, Brittany/Santana, Kurt/Mike, and Puck/Everyone
Warnings/Spoilers: One explicit sex scene (M/M/M), and references to M/M, M/F, and F/F sexual encounters
Author's Note: This is quite possibly the hardest story I have ever written in my life, and I couldn't even tell you why -- although, for all the agony of getting the words out on the page, I am ridiculously happy with what I ended up with. Especially with the art I received from both my amazing artists! acquiescence_ did an amazing banner, wallpaper, and icons here, and fakeplasticsnow did an incredible fanmix here. Go check them out! I am so luck to have them both as my artists for this fic!
The story was beta'd by my sister; any remaining errors are, of course, mine own.
Summary:
As head of Fulcrum, Inc., Quinn Fabray faces a number of challenges in her life (not least of which is managing her company around the love lives of her employees). Still, when she and her crack team of investigators are hired to track down the thief of Pterodactyl Attack, a semi-famous painting of cavemen fighting pterodactyls with slingshots, Quinn finds herself in Paris, where she meets Rachel Berry.
Things with Rachel aren't all that they seem, however, nor are things with Antoni Sachs, the man who hired Fulcrum to track down his painting. What happens when Quinn finds the thief -- and what happens when she finds out what Sachs Industries is really doing?
(And then there's the job infiltrating MacGuffin, maker of cheap laptops, and what Quinn finds in New York when she returns.)
A Leverage-inspired Quinn/Rachel AU, also featuring Kurt/Mike, Brittany/Santana, and Puck/everybody.
