Title: Heaven is a Place on Earth with You
Author: only_because3
Rating: I'd say M
Pairing: Mike/Quinn/Rachel
Author's Note: So sulkygeek is completely responsible for putting this in my head and Az completely fed into it. It's mainly all fluff and I wish I was able to write this a bit more coherently (and show the three of them together a bit better). Honestly

Oh my God!!! A shout-out in your author's note! I'm so flipping flattered and honoured. Although I accept no responsibility for this, because this is so much better and dreamier than I anticipated. I love the MQR dynamic and I actually really loved how it was Judy who was most willing to accept things. I kind of pictured Mike's parents taking the longest to warm to things

[only_because3]

You're flattered because I mentioned YOU? Please. I'm pretty sure I died when I was pimped in your last story.

The show is atrocious and I've completely gone into the land of fic to cope lol. I am 100% convinced that ugly hapa babies can't exist. They simply can't! And I would pay money for them all to procreate with one another. The mental image I have of their children are simply gorgeous. (I'd also pay money to have Harry's babies)

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

YES! Lea and Groff would have the most talented children ever. I have high hopes that if he decides he ever wants children, she'll help him out.

Well I'm glad I could help you get your fix! I'm pretty sure that I ship Mike with everyone, especially these two. Not that you need someone else to 'fix you' but I definitely think he'd do wonders for these girls

Oh wow. You and Sulkygeek have made me such a fan of R/M/Q. I never saw them as a good grouping until recently. You wrote them really well as a family. I also love that Judy was the fastest to come around. It had the perfect balance. Great job!

[only_because3]

I feel like after everything, Judy would just accept it. After all, her traditional marriage didn't work out but maybe this could be what is best for her daughter. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Oh my gosh, this is just so absolutely wonderful. I'm working on a poly story right now myself-- albeit with Sam, not Mike-- and it's just so fulfilling and intimate, when all three parts are working in harmony. You had me right from Quinn saying "I can't lose another baby," which is one of the most devastating sentences in the English language, and I just reveled in every minute of this.

Not to mention, the kids and the overall family dynamic were superb.

Ah, is it Rachel/Quinn/Sam? I have such a soft spot for poly relationships. I'm glad you enjoyed this!

[professor_spork]

It is! It also takes place still in high school, which makes it all sorts of hilariously dramatic. Poly takes a certain level of maturity from all parties, and writing them trying to figure it out is equal parts lovely and horrible.

On that note, though, I'd love a prequel to this story, because the groundwork you laid about Quinn's struggles with reconciling herself as being a member of the relationship is fascinating.

I debated starting the story a bit further back but since I'm such a stickler for realism, it's hard for me to write poly relationships (which is why I haven't updated Wonderwall in FOREVER). I wasn't even going to bring up any parents in this just because I wanted to give really realistic depictions.

I need to check out your story though! I'd love to read it

I have a strong dislike about any polyamorous relationships, even though I multiship Glee girls like a whore. I thought maybe it's because I like chicks and having a dude in the middle is why I'm so weirded out by it. That's not true either because a Q/R/Santana polyamo drives me insane (not in a good way - the bad kind of insane), too.

That said, I really liked your take on the MQR relationship. It doesn't really change my mind about polyams, but I thought everyone's interactions in your story was super adorable and super realistic. Also, I really like the idea of Mike being super dirty.

Sorry, if my review sound half-hearted! Your other fics are amazing and I just had to read this one, too! I just can't will myself to fully loving any kind of OT3.

It's not everyone's cup of tea and I'm glad you took a chance on this!
