Sun-Sue and The Art of War (Chapter 2) (Ensemble, PG-13)
Title: Sun-Sue and The Art of War (Chapter 2)
Author: kappamaki33
Rating: PG-13
Character/Pairings: Full ensemble (Sue, all Glee kids, Mr. Schue, Emma, Brad and the band, Burt, Carole, Coach Beiste, Blaine, and Jesse); canon pairings as of the end of “Prom Queen”
Spoilers: Through 2.20 (Prom Queen)
Word Count: ~2,100 (this chapter); ~20,000 (complete)
Summary: AU after “Prom Queen”. Sue is running out of time to destroy the Glee Club before Nationals in New York City. She finds guidance in an ancient Chinese treatise on military strategy and tactics. This inspires her to join New Directions on the eleven-hour bus trip from Lima to NYC in an unusual capacity.
Posting Plan: I plan to post new chapters every other day (possibly every day if I get ambitious).
Notes: I placed this story in an AU after “Prom Queen” because it really required Sue to be over-the-top and devious, which I couldn’t make work in my mind post-“Funeral.” The epigrams are all excerpts from the real The Art of War by Sun-Tzu.
Also, two notes on plausibility: Yes, it is absolutely, positively plausible that New Directions would take a bus rather than a plane to the competition. My high school marching band did, for a drive twice as long as Lima to NYC. And yes, I have played “Hey Cow.” The cows are usually not as impressed with me as they apparently are with Brittany. Finally, I am aware of DADT’s repeal, but I had to tell the joke anyway.
