I only take advice from 80s songs.

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.)

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.

Title: some kind of music
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.

Title: At Moments After

Summary: In which there's car talk, discussion of the future, and Puck on his best behavior. Yet somehow, dinner at the Hummel household still doesn't go exactly as planned. 2797 words.
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.

Title: all the places we've never known
Fandom: Glee
Pairing: Kurt/Puck
Rating: NC17
Summary: In which Kurt and Puck take a stroll down memory lane, with mixed results. 8105 words.
Series: Down Is Where We Came From. If you're starting at the beginning, start at the bottom of page 2.
A/N: So if you think I have been avoiding writing this next part of the series for a week, you're not wrong. I've been doing pretty much everything but, mostly because there's a lot of actual physical movement in this section and that's not really my forte, but also because I was afraid of making it too cheesy*. So I procrastinated, but last night I buckled down, and this morning I worked on it some more, and now I'm done and I hope it's worth the wait. The next part won't take nearly so long, I promise.

( You can't be serious. )

* Never fear: writingpathways is under strict orders to shut me down the second this series gets too cheesy.

Title: like it like that
Fandom: Glee
Character(s): Finn, Kurt
Rating: PG
Summary: Finn has questions. Kurt seems like the likeliest candidate for answers.
A/N: So I was working on this other thing, but I kept coming back to this scene, so I figured I'd just jot it down in all its painfully awkward glory. Enjoy!
Series: Part of the Finn-centric spin-off, although they're so intertwined at this point it's hard to say. The entire thing is here, as always. Start at the bottom if you're starting from scratch.

( Finn's practicing his solo when the car door opens. )

Title: something about us
Fandom: Glee
Pairing: Kurt/Puck
Rating: PG
Summary: Kurt should know better than to leave Puck alone with his father. 2172 words.
A/N: For jengeorge, because I promised her more Kurt/Puck this weekend. Series is here.

( there's something about us I've got to do
some kind of secret I will share with you )

Two fics, because someone called in today, which meant I had the office all to myself. I did as little work as I could get away with and spent my day writing about Finn's identity crisis instead.

There's also Kurt/Puck fic, which I wrote last night and then slept on, since it went in a completely different direction than intended, and I wanted to make sure it wasn't the dumbest idea ever before I posted. (Still not convinced! Too late now.)

Title: Approximations
Rating: PG
Character(s): More aimless Finn fic, with increasingly overt one-sided Will/Finn.
Summary: The one thing Will Schuester taught him was how to appreciate a challenge.

Title: Arithmetic
Rating: PG
Pairing: Kurt/Puck
Summary: Puck does not get lucky on their first night home.

A/N: Yeah, I didn't plan for the titles to be all matchy. It just happened, okay? I'm pretty tired, cut me some slack.

Brittany(Britney)-flavored Glee tonight! I'm pretty excited, ngl. I hope there's wine at my sister's house.

So I wrote this other thing, mostly in the last half hour of my workday, when I was holding down the fort in the Periodicals Room. And I wasn't even going to post about it, because it's just embarrassing at this point, but whatever. It's there, if you want to read it.

Title: Simple Gifts
Fandom: Glee
Pairing: Kurt/Puck
Rating: PG
Summary: There are some things you just have to do alone. 1391 words.
