Series: Down Is Where We Came From
A/N: I fail at Nano on pretty much every level. OH WELL. It's been a week; I don't feel that bad about it. I don't usually post fic on Sundays, but with this pairing it doesn't even matter. I don't care, I kind of love them anyway.

Finn forgets to check for a Fiddler On the Roof DVD until it's too late.

A/N: Aaaand I have caught up with myself. I am going to try really hard to keep up the posting schedule, but I have company coming over tonight and I'm alone in the office again today, so I'm making no promises.

( When the cab pulled up in front of his place Derek paid the driver. )

So if you've been playing along at home, you know that I wanted to get to a certain point in this universe before November happened. Obviously that didn't happen, but I figured yesterday that I'd have a little time to write another Kurt/Puck piece, just a little more porn-where-nothing-happens fic, just for fun. Except about halfway through it inspired a new, Halloween-centric idea, and considering it happened to be Halloween, I figured what the heck.

Long story short: I did not finish either fic yesterday, mostly because I was busy with my sister and her brood all evening. Today was also busy, because Mondays are always busy, but I managed to get the first fic done earlier and the second one I finished tonight. So here we are, two more fics in this universe. Naturally I have not touched my Nano project yet. Shut up.

( It took a hell of a lot of planning to make it out of the office in time to meet Spencer’s plane. )

I wasn't going to post these until I finished the next installment, but they're up on AO3 already, so I may as well link them here. One is Finn-centric and the other is a self-indulgent, fluffy little sort-of-gen Hummel-Hudson family thing. (The next part will be Puck's POV and is shaping up to be very, very long, so it may be awhile yet.)

Title: Catch As Catch Can

Title: Nothing But Blue Skies

Pairing: Kurt/Puck, Will/Finn
Rating: PG13
Summary: Kurt's just trying to be reasonable. Unfortunately for him, love generally isn't all that reasonable. 6410 words.
Series: Down Is Where We Came From
A/N: Normally I would be all apologetic about how appallingly romantic this thing is, but someone I used to like very much said some pretty horrible things to me yesterday regarding gay marriage, and suddenly the appalling levels of romance don't seem nearly so embarrassing.

Title: Borrowed Time
Fandom: Glee
Pairing: Will/Finn
Rating: PG
Summary: There are lines Will doesn't cross. 1554 words.
Series: Down Is Where We Came From
A/N: A couple nights ago I was stuck on all my writing projects and frustrated about it. So I crawled into bed with my laptop and all of a sudden Will Schuester decided he had something to say. I wasn't even going to post it, because it's just a character study, but I think it helps to explain his motivations in this universe, so here it is.

Fandom: Glee
Character(s)/Pairings: Quinn Fabray, Kurt/Puck, Will/Finn
Rating: PG
Summary: Six years is a long time. 1824 words.
Series: Down Is Where We Came From
A/N: See above re: Will, I guess. I didn't intend to introduce a bunch of new POVs at this point in the series, and I certainly don't intend to continue with them (I swear there is no Quinn spin-off series in the making!) but I thought her POV was important to explain some things I have always known while writing this series, but not really gotten across while Finn's the only one doing the talking.

Series: Down Is Where We Came From
A/N: Like pulling off a Band-Aid, people. I promise I won't leave you hanging long.
