Title: Distance
Pairing: Brittany/Santana

A/N: Fill for this prompt from the GKM. Five times Santana tries to get over Brittany and fails. Deals with Santana's guilt and their  eventual reconciliation. It's really not as angsty as it sounds.

Prompter here, and this is turning out exactly the way I imagined it. I love how well it's all flowing too. Sometimes those '5 times' fics can be kind of chopping, especially when they're just cut into five parts, but I love how well this all flows together and just feels like a story.

I also love how in denial Santana is, and she just doesn't get it. Thinking there's something wrong with her instead of just getting why it's not working. I really love a lot of the little things too - the thing about a ginger's favorite color being pink, her having a thing for blondes, Rachel having 'literally the worst personality' and my favorite, the fact that she was unable to label Brittany as her 'ex-girlfriend'. I think that'll feel like a punch to the face if they ever say that on the show.

Really excited for the next parts!

OK. So it's updated through parts 4.5. Basically all the "dates" are done now and I just want to spend a good amount of time getting the reunion scene right. :)

ps. I deviated from the prompt for date 4 because I could't pass up the idea of Santana being anyone's sober sister.

These parts were just as great as the first ones! And I loved how you changed the 4th prompt, the bar setting with drunk karaoke was perfect. And I must admit, Santana being the sober sister is a funny though, I can just imagine how little patience regular Santana would have with a bunch of drunk girls, let alone the Santana in here, that was super horny. And Santana's roommate was great! For some reason, in all the fics I've read that have Santana with a roommate at UoL, she's always awesome.

I'm really excited for the reunion part, so take your time, I know it'll be great! I can't wait to see Santana finally realize why it was never working out with anyone. Like, I do think she somewhat knows. Like, she knows it's because of Brittany, but she doesn't seem to get that it's because she should just get back together with her, jeez!

Done! :)

Okay, so the realization didn't disappoint. I loved the logic she had for why it wasn't working, and how much just one conversation with Brittany gave her that wake up call, and made her feel better after all that time trying to make it work in the wrong ways. How Brittany made her feel like she mattered/big while she felt so small (which is such a common thought for college freshmen) was also really great.

But I have to say that line from Brittany about not being good at history or biology, but being really good at loving Santana? So perfect, it made me want to cry. But it's so so true, and so something she'd say and think and now I want it to be canon so badly, THANKS! But their talk was so great, and I like that Brittany was upset, but she was able to get over it, because I can't imagine Brittany holding a grudge.

Thank you so much for filling this prompt, it was such a great read, everything I was looking for!

No. Thank you for the prompt and all the support. At the risk of coming across as needy, your comments made writing so much easier and faster than it usually is. For me 5,000 words often takes two weeks! :)
