Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Brittany/Santana Length: medium length Author on LJ: zippadedoodahAuthor Website: tag listWhy this must be read: This is a great, realistic fic about Brittany and Santana, and how they cope with Brittany's ADD. It's sweet, and the way Santana provides for Brittany is wonderful, but it's also bittersweet because they can't find a permanent solution. It's a good read. Hers | |

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Kurt/Mike Length: 4109 Author on LJ: fakeplasticsnowAuthor Website: MasterlistWhy this must be read: Kurt is handcuffed to Mike Chang. It's not as kinky as it sounds.This fic has a fantastic Kurt, Mike, and Brittany voice, and I like that she's just a teeny bit sneaky. I think this fic shows off the hilariousness and absurdity that is Glee, and manages to be sweet while doing it. Plus, Kurt's opposition to Valentine's day seems so like him. "Hey, I watched you do 'Push It.' You can't judge me, all the goods were on display that afternoon. And then you semi-stripped for me earlier. In the library."Chances are your chances are awfully good | |

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Kurt/Blaine Length: 28,300+ Author on LJ: skintightsocksAuthor Website: MasterlistWhy this must be read:Kurt never thought that losing one's virginity would take so much planning.This is a great, smutty fic about how Kurt and Blaine eventually lose their virginity together. It's sweet, and cute, and all the trial and error they go through is so appropriate for two teenagers who've never done this before. It's a great read, and skintightsocks tortures the reader just long enough before Kurt and Blaine finally manage to accomplish their end goal. Perfect in my Mind | |

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Puck/Kurt Length: 3 long parts Author on LJ: jockchicAuthor Website: masterlistWhy this must be read:This is another fantastic AU, future fic. It shows a darker side of Glee, and what could happen to these bright, young people. What jockchic has done with these characters is so very real, and they have so much more depth than in the show. And a lot of grittiness. I love the feel of the characters in this fic. Also, it says that this is still a WIP on her masterlist, but I think there's a clear end. It's possible more will be written in this universe, but the fic finishes in part three. It's a little long, and all three parts are not clearly linked, so here's all three parts: part onepart twopart one of part threepart two of part three | |

Fandom:GLEE Pairing: Puck/Kurt Length: 37,600 words, four parts Author on LJ: carolinecraneAuthor Website: masterlist and AO3Why this must be read:After Kurt transfers to Dalton, his life is perfect. He has friends and a spot in the show choir, and a hot boyfriend who's totally into him, so it's easy to ignore the nagging feeling that something's missing. Then Puck turns up and Kurt's life gets a lot more This echos a lot of thoughts I had before I started to like Blaine. He's too perfect, he's kind of boring, he's not good for Kurt. I don't really agree with those thoughts anymore, but I still like this fic. carolinecrane writes great characters, who are all believable, and in character. And she provides a plausible explanation for Puck's random disappearance in season two. It's an excellent representation of a Glee AU. words we use for you and me | |

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Kurt/Blaine Length: 6600 Author on LJ: of_a_crescendoAuthor Website: masterlistWhy this must be read:This is a wonderfully well written, angsty AU. Fair warning: a lot of stuff by of_a_crescendo is kind of angsty. The premise of this story is that Blaine and Kurt are neighbors, and Blaine's mother is a musician. The catch: Blaine is deaf. This is the story of how Kurt and Blaine become friends (and more), in spite of the many things they have to overcome. On a hot and dusty afternoon, it comes as a bit of a shock to Kurt Hummel, reading in his backyard and soaking up the sun under a shade, when a small paper aeroplane lands right in the middle of his book.

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Brittany/Santana Length: ~5000 Author on LJ: phelipaAuthor Website: MasterlistWhy this must be read:This is a sweet future, kid fic, that is a little bit angsty, but mostly sweet. It portrays Santana and Brittany's relationship beautifully. Santana is usually the one who takes care of Brittany, but Brittany knows how to take care of her girl.

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Kurt/Blaine Length: 8200 words Author on LJ: nonexistantpupAuthor Website: MasterlistWhy this must be read: There are many reasons why people should read this. Of course, Wes is always a good reason, but what made me really stop and take notice was how well the author deals with Wes's "heteronormative conservatism." Wes is very supportive of Blaine, and his (slowly) budding romance with Kurt as long as he doesn't have to see it. And to top it all off, he's not entirely comfortable around Kurt, since Kurt isn't exactly the epitome of masculinity. The author takes this somewhat sensitive issue, and deals with it really well.

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: gen Kurtcentric Length: 3000ish words Author on LJ: rageprufrockAuthor Website: @AO3, and @Dreamwidth. Also, her tagsWhy this must be read: This gives a really nice look at all the complicated social aspects of Glee that were mentioned in the first overview. Members of Glee may be a family, but they also have an image to maintain to remain in their specific social circles, and this fic does a great job of showing that. It also does a great job of capturing the atmosphere of high school. It also does an amazing job of going beyond all that. Even though things have started to really look up for Kurt since season two, this is a great take on how the writers could have done it. "Because if this is — I don't know, some kind of date," Burt says, "I want to talk to him."
Kurt has a vivid and terrible mental image of how that would go. "Oh, sure," he lies.
"And by talk to him," Burt elaborates, "I mean hit him with this tire iron."In Progress | |

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Mike/Tina Length: 2100+ Author on LJ: skintightsocksAuthor Website: MasterlistWhy this must be read:Let me just say that everything skintightsocks writes is excellent. skintightsocks is a pair of authors, and most of their fiction is Kurt/Blaine, but even their other pairings are always in character. This is a really hot fic, and I love the way Tina and Mike interact with each other. The dialog is fantastic, and Tina is just the right amount of bossy, and Mike is sweet, but also a little devious. I hope you enjoy! "Please stop talking about your mother," Tina groans. "That is not an unreasonable request."You're the Nicest Thing I've Seen | |

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Kurt/Blaine, Kurt/Blaine/Jesse bromance Length: 3500 Author on LJ: byham_roryAuthor Website: MasterlistWhy this must be read:It's really difficult to write a good facebook-style fic, but this is excellent. And extremely funny. Kurt's exasperation, Blaine's trusting nature, and Jesse's (good-natured) bitchiness make for a great combination. Plus, this is an ensemble fic, and all the voices are done very well. If you need a laugh, this is definitely the fic for you. Why Kurt Hummel Hates Facebook | |

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Kurt/Blaine Length: ~2500 words Author on LJ: chocolate6969Author Website: Master ListWhy this must be read: "Would you want an SAT vocab book for your birthday?"This story has great Finn/Kurt brotherly interactions. It's amusing how quickly they start to act like actual brothers. I also love any time Finn and Blaine interact, and this fic has tons of these interactions. And of course, Blaine and Kurt are sweet, as always. There's not really much to say about this fic except that it's funny, cute, and well-written. Something everyone should read.

It’s been a while since ashedrake wrote the fandom overview for Glee. Which leaves me with a season and a half’s worth of updates for you all! Since her overview was fantastic and thorough, and there’s no way I can live up to it, I’ll just try to fill you in on the general plot, new characters, and things that have happened to the main cast as best I can. Sorry if it’s a little long, there's a lot to cover. General SummaryFirst, let’s start off with what happens in the second half of season one: there’s a lot of great drama and character development as we watch New Directions’ further struggles to actually make it to regionals. A lot of great stuff happens here, but spoilers abound for episodes 13-22 of season one, and all of season two, so don’t read any further if you don’t want to be spoiled.

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Finn/Kurt, Finn/hot college girls, past Finn/Puck Length: 7377 words Author on LJ: bekkisAuthor Website: tiny_infinityWhy this must be read: He doesn't know how it happens but Finn actually gets into college. Turns out, Kurt lives in his hall and they become BFFs. And then Finn has a gay crisis.This is a college fic. And not only does bekkis write great porn, the whole gay crisis that Finn has is so believable, and so in character. Obviously the second half of season one kind of makes this story very AU, but it was one of the best stories written during the break. Her Finn voice completely makes this story, and I love how we get to go through his crisis with him. Plus, the way Kurt and Finn develop a friendship first is really sweet, and Kurt is understanding and caring. I think this is a great read, and it has a lot of great one liners.

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Brittany/Santana Length: 5k Author on LJ: lynnearlingtonAuthor Website: MasterlistWhy thismust be read: I love stories about how Brittany and Santana meet and become friends, and this story is a great example of that. Santana is fiercely protective of Brittany, and I love how she gets Brittany. There's also great friendship development between Santana and Quinn, and Puck, and I think there's not enough friendships in this show, so I love it when an author does it well.

Hey everyone, my name is fincalian and I'll be driving the van for Glee this month. I'm going to rec as much as I can, in as wide a variety of stuff as possible, so I hope you all enjoy it! Sorry for starting a little late, things have been busy, but keep your eyes open because I plan to make up for my tardiness! Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Quinn/Rachel Length: 6000 words Author on LJ: anomalousalannaAuthor's Website: ficsbyalannaWhy this must be read: I've only recently become a Quinn/Rachel fan, but this is one I've had saved for a while. I love the slow evolution of Quinn and Rachel's friendship, and eventual romance, and I like how each character has to adjust to the new family dynamic. I think anomalousalanna really captures the softer, more insecure side of Quinn really well, and her Rachel is very adult, something we don't see enough of on the show. Everyone should read this, because I miss pregnant Quinn, and anomalousalanna shows another way she could have developed. ( Excerpt! )Wonderwall | |

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: All twelve Glee kids, Will Schuster, Emma Pillsbury. No pairings. Length: One-shot, 4200ish words Author on LJ: chronic_lady Author Website: Go here for more from this author. Why this must be read: This is one of the darkest, angstiest Glee fics I have yet read. Mostly I like the light, cracky ones that make me squee with delight and belly laugh like the show does, but this is what I think of as the BSG of Glee; the dark side AU in which things progress like they probably would have without Scheu being, well, Scheu. Fair warning, one of the situations has scenes of intense violence (#4) and death. But it's worth reading, because it makes you think a lot about the real effects of what the Glee kids go through every day.

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Rachel/Finn/Puck Length: Seven chapters, all short, all funny. Author on LJ: adlervan Author Website: floramcdonald on FF.Net Why this must be read: This is one of the funniest Glee porn fics, if not THE funniest. Rachel, Puck, Finn and everyone else are perfectly in character (although Finn and Puck definitely get the best lines) and even though the situation is a bit farfetched, it works for me as a piece of A/U, kind of, and it's just laugh-out-loud funny. I hate to put a tempting bit here, for fear of spoiling something, but I guess I should.

I'm rebelliousrose and I am a Gleek. I've beeen waiting a long time to rec this fandom, so of course by the time it got around to me, I was incredibly busy. I'll try to catch up, and I am leading off with a bang. Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Will/Emma, Brittany/Santana, Finn/Quinn, Tina/Artie, and pretty much every other character one way or another. Length: Ten chapters on FF.net, but each one is a self-contained gem. Author on LJ: angel_dawes is not on LJ, but posts on FF.net Author Website: Go here for more. Why this must be read: This fic is approaching near brilliance; it was the first in the subgenre of Glee/zombie fic, which somehow works. angel_dawes manages to slide in references to BSG, the entire Whedonverse, Dr. Who and more Glee meta than you can shake a stick at- and it's FUNNY. And then touching, and then funny again.

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Kurt Hummel/Noah Puckerman Length: 9000 Author on LJ: mildly_obsessed Author Website: Not found Why this must be read: It's future!AU, it's smut and it's. So. Fucking. Wonderful.
It's perfect. I lovelovelove how there's no easy fix or quick break, there's no rom com kiss that makes everything alright or angry storming out of the room that causes more drama. It's just... real. Very, very real.
The top/bottom dynamic really worked. It didn't seemed cliché at all, which it often does in Kurt/Puck fics, it slid very easily into the rest of their character traits and what they wanted. Now that I've read them like this (10 years in the future and grown up), it's the only way I can really imagine that they would fit together on a long term basis.

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Kurt Hummel/Noah "Puck" Puckerman Length: 3,027 Author on LJ: mundaneone Author Website: Fic List Why this must be read: It's Finn teaching Puck how to date Kurt, what's not to love? It's just very sweet to get an outside perspective on Puck fumbling through falling in love and how to deal with that, and it's great to see a Finn who may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but who really gets his friend and knows how to help him. And I really love the way Puck's in love, it's enough to make you swoon. ( Excerpt ) Denial Isn’t Just a River in Egypt | |

All the character's voices are spot on and the plot feels true to the show. And I kinda love any fic that centers around Puck's relationship to his family - I guess I'm on a family kick today^^ Do go read if you're looking for a really good Puckelberry fic.

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Gen, unrequited Kurt Hummel/Finn Hudson Length: 3600 Author on LJ: eldee Author Website: Why this must be read: It's a simple and sweet story about Finn and Kurt becoming step-brothers and how Kurt handles that. I love the sense of family in this, how they all come together. It's a very unique little piece and absolutely lovely. ( Excerpt ) In All Honesty | |

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Noah Puckerman, Kurt Hummel (gen) Length: 1200 Author on LJ: smilebackwards Author Website: Fic List Why this must be read: Honestly, it's a story about Puck in a dress. Remember how he said "I'm a stud, dude. I could wear a dress to school and people would think it's cool." Yeah:D It's funny and sad in parts and Kurt's great... and in some ways it has that same quality that the show has: it shows us a person who's having a really hard time in that humiliating way you can only experience in high school - and then it turns everything upsidedown. It's my feel good fic because of that - and because of Puck in a dress. Vera Wang | |

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Rachel Berry/Quinn Fabray Length: 6000 Author on LJ: anomalousalanna Author Website: Not found Why this must be read: Quinn and Rachel fit so wonderfully together in this fic. Their explosive personalities make for so much hilariousness, it's heart warming to see the entire club get together to care for Quinn and the baby - and Rachel's dads are there! And they're awesome! Also the way she writes the pregnancy is just beautiful. ( Tiny excerpt ) Wonderwall | |

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Kurt Hummel/Noah Puckerman Length: 1800 Author on LJ: aggybird Author Website: Fic List Why this must be read: I love how incredibly funny this is. It makes me laugh and laugh and it's still very realistic - you can identify with the emotiions behind Puck's actions. I wish maybe it could've ended three lines earlier, just to keep that amazing dry wit all the way. I adore how being bad just didn't work out the way Puck planned. ( Excerpt ) Jew Talking To Me? | |

Fandom: GLEE Pairing: Kurt Hummel/Noah "Puck" Puckerman Length: 4,147 Author on LJ: louiex Author Website: fic or fanfic tag (couldn't find a master list, sorry) Why this must be read: Slash and it's with my favorite Glee pairing, Kurt and Puck (because Foe Yay = hot)! This fic smutty smut smut and it's damn good. It's a porny setup that plays out wonderfully with just enough give and take - and Kurt talking dirty, too, which is yummy. I'm reccing this so early because one of the saddest things about riding this ship in the beginning was the lack of porn - and while I love non-porny fic just as much as the next girl/boy, I'm all for eating my dessert before my dinner. Show Me Secrets You Didn't Know Was Inside is also a good example of how smut is at its best when it's supported by well written characters.
