[rgrettes]

heyy, I hope I'm not bothering but I've seen that you used to post about faberry and faberry fics like Shafd, and since I'm trying to find some faberry fanfics to read, could you please recommend me some of your favorites? Thank you :)

OKAY so this took me a whole lot longer than anticipated because I didn’t want to make it be like 500 fics long! But here, in no particular order, are my top 10 faberry fanfics! [excluding SHAfD of course bc whomever asked this definitely knows SHAfD!]I will be including trigger warnings/content warnings! Please be sure that you can handle the subjects before reading the content! Be safe and put your mental and physical wellbeing before a work of fiction!

10. Dirty Little Secret by patchesofink

Chapters: 77/77 [208k]

This fic would actually happen to be the first faberry fic that I ever read. I felt my little 15 year old self cry several times throughout this fic. It’s what first got me into writing fanfic, because I wanted to write as well as this author! There is a content warning so please be careful reading it if you are sensitive to topics mentioned!

Rachel has a secret and Quinn has figured it out - but will Quinn use this knowledge to exact revenge on Rachel for telling Finn that Puck was really the father or will she use her own experiences to help. WARNING - language and sexual content, r*pe.

9. I’ll Be by stix04

Chapters: 20/20 [330k]

God I was such a sucker for fake dating au’s as a young teenager and I’m most definitely a sucker for them now. This one I didn’t read right when it came out, I didn’t actually find it until it had finished but it still makes my top 20 because it’s just too good not to talk about!

Can Quinn pretend to be in love with Rachel just to get out of Lima? Can Rachel pretend to love Quinn so she's not so lonely in New York? And what happens when both girls realize they're no longer pretending?

8. Long Way to Happy by patchesofink 

Chapters: 42/42 [104k]

This is the sequel to Dirty Little Secret and makes the list for being just as good as the original. This author is so talented and the story just resonates in my soul! 

warnings for sexual content, language, violence and potential ptsd triggers!

Sequel to Dirty Little Secret. Rachel still has some healing to do as well with dealing with becoming a mom. Quinn has her own issues to deal with. Can their fledgling relationship deal with the ups and downs of life and cope with senior year? Quinn learns to open up and Rachel deals with motherhood and not letting her past define her. It's a Long Way to Happy.

7. Leather Jackets and Bad Coffee by antonius

Chapters: 11/?? [75k] [has not updated since 2018 :(]

Bikers, 50′s style diners, and good girl/bad girl pairing. Literally who could ask for anything more? I’m super sad this one hasn’t updated in a long time but it’s still such a fun read!!

warning for violence!

Ninety miles and nearly two hours from the heart of New York City, just off of PA-33 North, is the little town of Belfast, Pennsylvania: population 1,257. Right outside the city limits sits Moe's, a small 24-hour diner whose newest waitress, Rachel Berry, has taken her best friend Kurt's advice and started a calm summer temp job away from the hustle-and-bustle of busy city life in order to rest up before her final year at NYADA.During her very first midnight shift, she encounters a group of rowdy regulars led by a pink-haired woman with piercing hazel eyes. Quinn Fabray is the leader of the Skanks, a small but well-known local biker gang that doesn't take shit from anyone.So began the strangest summer of Rachel Berry's life.

6. Talk by saintdyke

Chapters: 17/? [43k] [last updated may 2019]

This is another one I’m sad hasn’t updated in a while! This honestly stole my heart to a point that in the time I found it in mid April 2019 and June of 2019 I have re-visited the fic 105 times, rereading it at least half as many as that. I’m really hoping the author comes back to the fic, because it was keeping me on the edge of my seat.

warning for violence, abuse mentions and depictions, homophobia and ptsd triggers!

(Previously titled Grease Stains, Starry Skies) Famous actress Rachel Berry’s car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. A pretty blonde with a blue truck rescues her from the side of the road, and just so happens to own an Auto Repair shop in town. Quinn is frustrating and mysterious, and Rachel is just as stubborn. Together, they start a revolution.

5. Just off the Key of Reason by iamapanda

Chapters: 30/30 [129k]

This one is another absolute classic in the Faberry fandom, and is another fic that has stuck with me throughout the years! It has a fantastic softer take on Quinn that I truly appreciated because everyone back in the early years of the fandom would make her so angry and bitter and she’s just so soft in some interpretations

Rachel Berry is a successful Broadway star with a new roommate, the very odd, naive Quinn Fabray. It starts with a note on the fridge and a childishly scrawled doodle of an elephant. Everybody has a little crazy in them.

4. Still off the Key of Reason by iamapanda

Chapters: 37/37 [185k]

The sequel to Just off the Key of Reason! Still as soft and as crazy! I can’t mention one without having the other in the list as well! I can’t explain how it feels to look at the ff.net pages after so long, my heart is transported back to 2011 and I’m sitting on my bed after I’m supposed to be in bed. I miss the days where I could just spend time reading these fics and not having adult responsibilities.

Quinn is thundering her way through vet school. Rachel is enlightening the west coast with her talent. The story continues with a wedding, dogs in tuxedos, and Pooh Bear vows. Crazy never fades.

3. A Million Miles of Fun by Jade8Devlin

Chapters: 12/12 [103k]

This one is a little different from the last ones! It isn’t my favorite because of its literary genius, but because of how fun and out there it is! It’s concept is fresh and dark and something I honestly didn’t expect to see but it quickly grew to be a favorite for me!

warning for violence, abuse, mentions of murder! the whole story revolves around The Unholy Trinity + Rachel murdering Quinn’s family so please take that into consideration!

And in Lima, Ohio, a man and woman were killed earlier today during what is believed to be a home invasion. Russell Fabray was last seen leaving Gas'N'Go at two o'clock; his wife, Judith, from a grocery story an hour earlier. Police are linking the double homicide to the area's recent surge in breaking and entering – though these appear to be the first fatalities. The victims are survived by their daughters; Quinn and Stacey."Jessalyn Briggs shuffles the papers on her desk, clearing her throat. The somber expression on her face seems to float off her as she turns towards camera 3."Otis-the-Otter finishes today's news headlines as the little critter that could. Abandoned by his mother and found foraging for scraps in the Nelson family's garbage cans, Otis has proven; if you can't teach an old dog new tricks, teach them to an otter! Otis placed second at this year's Ohio Dog Show after last year's well-documented struggle by the Nelson family to allow Otis to be included. Well done Otis, we here at Channel 43 salute you.

2. The Silence of Silence by your.kat

Chapters: 31/31 [135k]

This one... I can’t describe why I liked it, I just liked it.

warning for mental health, and trauma [possible others, please read with caution]

Quinn and Rachel meet at Haverbrook under unusual circumstances. Why is Rachel silent? And why does Quinn care? "You can hear," Quinn said simply, "but can you speak?"; "Yes," Rachel signed. "I can speak. But silence is a friend who will never betray."

1. Kissing Quinn Fabray by vondrunkaton

Chapters: 6/6 [45k]

This one just makes me super warm and fuzzy inside. I don’t think I can say it’s entirely changed my life but it’s just so soft and i love it

Quinn comforts Rachel after Finn says something oafish. Rachel is surprised by how sweet Quinn is. There's also some making out in delicious detail. Fluffy getting together fic.

I am super open to talking about more fics I love/like and other pairings! This was a ton of fun to talk about and sent me down memory lane! I went searching for two hours on a vague memory of a fic that I think has been deleted by now. But if anyone wants to help me track it down! Hit me up and I’ll give you the details!

[flowercoasts]

Angst Fests

Threads of Maybes and Might Have Beens by Queen Nan

goddess… this one is super dark. big trigger warning for murder, major character death, grieving, and in general just the overwhelming feeling of sadness cause w o w this one hurts to read. the plot is very interesting though and i love the concept for this story! 

Better Run, Outrun My Gun by your.kat

another story with big bold tags for major character death. super dark but very realistic for the setting. was overall a really compelling read and i’d recommend if you love post-apocalyptic aus 

Fluffy Reads

if you love gals getting together and also bunnies, this story is for you! but seriously. its all sunshine. excellent for just a soft read

Holidaze by roxystyle011

oh? they k i s s? oh? they dont stop kissing??? (good for soft and fluffy and - comparatively - short reads!)

The Closest Thing by roxystyle011

a really cute one-shot. follows an excellent rachel pov and is super in character for rachel. the eventual faberry get-together is super satisfying and sweet

Alternate Universes

Deus Ex Machina by A. Kline

this fic is so damn good. i love the concept and premise, and the entire thing is such a wild ride. a high priority read if you love supernatural elements, especially ghosts, and for sure a really really well written au

Ain’t That a Kick in the Head by iamapanda

more or less a general community/agreed-upon must-read in the au front. the writing is great and the concept is just. super good. plus, surfer!quinn!!!

Simple Parts by FlyingFleshEater

this fic is just. its so good? like god that concept is amazing. just imagine not only time traveling with someone you hate but time traveling to a place where you’re married to that person. literally w o w. i love it.

Misc.

these are the ones i couldn’t remember enough of the premise and couldn’t place them into categories lol

uh. they work together and become not enemies but… it changes when school starts??? idk i read it a looong time ago, but i remember it being good

Sparks Fly by DAgron01

santana starts living with rachel and decides to play matchmaker. this is a really good fic if you love any of the unholy trinity making friendships with rachel

Past Mistakes by Invisimeg

i really cannot remember this fic but it is really good! imagine simple parts but the inverse of that plot

What Doors May Open by K’sChoiceofAFI

in this one, Rachel comes out as gay and hilarity ensues. i think this is the one where sam and rachel are best bros???

theres the list!! its very short because im mainly going off of memory from when i read them a long while ago. also, these are all on ff.net because thats where the general mass of fics are for glee

Shout out to your.kat wherever you went. This fic was dope.

[delirious-comfort]

I was re-reading "these strange steps" by thememoriesfire, what are your favs you're re-reading?

Sorry took me a while. I love These Strange Steps!

I was re-reading Just Off The Key of Reason by iamapanda and the sequel and then basically anything she writes will come next because holy hell she’s a brilliant writer. 

Then up until last night I was reading Dirty Little Secret by PatchesofInk which I love more than I should (even though the artist notes drive me nuts, but that’s not their fault).

And at some point I will probably reread The Silence of Silence by your.kat but I’ve reread at already not too long ago so it’s gonna have to wait a while. 

[poetzproblem]

Hi poetz. Can you or your followers help me out with a fic I've been trying to find? It's about the New Directions being in a plane crash on the way back from New York (for Nationals), and then as they were crashing Q admitted her feelings to R but R didn't get to say it back. Then R woke up and she was back in first year, first day of school, and she tried to change things so they wouldn't get into the accident, and also so that she and Q would get together.

I didn’t immediately recall the title, but I was 90% certain I knew who wrote it. I believe you’re looking for your.kat’s Faberry week oneshot, Nightmares: Or Perhaps Not, Who Can Say?

[murdershegoat]

hey, which faberry author was it?

it was your.kat and it was a wonderful little story!

[faberry-fic-blog]

Quinn and Rachel meet at Haverbrook under unusual circumstances. Why is Rachel silent? And why does Quinn care? "You can hear," Quinn said simply, "but can you speak?"; "Yes," Rachel signed. "I can speak. But silence is a friend who will never betray."

In summation: How do you words?

I actually ended up being WAY more involved in the con than I initially thought I would be, especially since I was on the fence for awhile about whether or not I was going to go. For those of you that went, I know it probably didn't seem like it because I was very chatty all weekend, but I usually go through an entire day speaking a 1000 words or less. I don't even feel like that's much of an exaggeration. 

It was so, so good for me to get involved with this. Even when I was hesitant about going, I was still very excited about it. I remember early on there were discussions in TinyChat about what exactly was going to be happening at the con. And I remember that the first suggestion of karaoke was turned down because, while it was a fun idea, no one had equipment to make it happen. And I remember thinking to myself, "I can make this happen. We can do this. I have almost everything we need, if I can just manage to not to pull a Mia Thermopolis at the mic while I try to get the event started, everything should be fine." And I love that I was able to contribute that to the con. 

As nauseatingly nervous as I usually am in front of a group of people, I  think it's pretty remarkable that I didn't feel that way at all this weekend. And I think I large part of that is because I was able to talk to a large percentage of you on TinyChat and through the message boards before the con even started. I don't think I would have been as comfortable participating in the panels if I hadn't initially spoken up about Karaoke and kind of put myself in a position where it was necessary for me to familiarize myself with everyone. 

I have never in my life felt so comfortable in and with group of people before. I was able to speak my mind about a subject that I'm deeply interested in, and for the first time ever I got praised for my feedback instead of the usual comments of: "you're still thinking about that??" "you need a hobby." "your investment in this is borderline obsessive."

Bridget, Molly, and Karyn all expressed to me separately that they appreciated the contributions I made in the panels, and just having those three even acknowledge my presence is hugely overwhelming to me. But on top of that someone actually listened to something I said and took something away from it. And I just... my experience with expressing myself up to this point has been that I could talk till I was blue in the face about something, but brick walls would be more adept at absorbing the information than anyone in hearing distance. So I usually don't even bother. 

And I think I received more hugs from John in the last four days than I've received from anyone in the last four months combined. 

What I was really hoping to walk away with from this convention was to A) meet people who have largely, albeit indirectly, been a part of my life for the last four-ish years, and hopefully manage a few coherent words of praise for their works and themselves in general, and B) possibly achieve a few tentative friendships with some of the attendees. 

So Leah's "We're friends now. You have to make me fanart." comment as I was leaving seriously made my day. And also all of yesterday and today when I was refreshing twitter every hour or so, there was a whole slew of people talking to me and each other about missing their Con Family. And I love that at the end of everything we all feel that way each other. It's been pretty unanimous that the con felt more like home to us than our actual homes. Everything just turned out so much better than I ever could have imagined it going. And I am so so grateful to John and Karyn for putting this all together. I don't think I can ever truly express how much this weekend meant to me. 

Come hell or high water, I will be at West, because I need you guys in my life and I already miss you like crazy.

All I've ever wanted was to feel special and chosen, and... I just... I wanted to thank you guys so much for giving me that. That's all. - Rachel Berry

(((No, I will not be finishing that story. Not as Faberry, at least. Maybe someday I will write it with OCs. Lots of plans for it in my head that just got left behind in the dust by other things.)))
