That One Time Everyone Was Sort of Nice to Rachel [location: livejournal]

author: boonies
characters: ensemble

why: Because it's always fun to get into Brit-Brit's head.

Brittany/Santana Lopez

Double Down [location: livejournal]

author: smc_27
rating: FRM
summary: Puck does not want to go on this stupid double date. At all. Leave it to Rachel Berry to change the game at the last second.
why: It seems very much like Rachel to try and fix someone's relationship in a very dramatic way.

Finn Hudson/Rachel Berry

Good Luck to You and the King, Live as the Man on the Side, Could You Pencil Me In When You Can? [location: livejournal]

author: unequivocally, une_fille, and becca_radcgg
rating: FRM
summary: He's not like that other boy, not at all.
why: It's angsty, painful, and these three write it beautifully.

I'd Steal Your Heart Before You Ever Heard a Thing [location: ff.net]

author: smc-27
rating: FRT
summary: He's got a reputation that she just doesn't fit into, and yet he can't leave her alone. Everything's getting better for her, and he should let her have that. But it's not his fault she's stuck in his head.
why: I love that Rachel and Puck just can't stay away from each other and that they both feel bad for hurting Finn.

Turning Saints into the Sea, And We Will Blow Away [location: livejournal]

author: andbless_mybaby
rating: FRAO
summary: Rachel has been meaning to speak with him about his chronic, redundant use of the word fucking as adjective, intensifying adverb, verb, and probably more parts of speech that she hasn’t yet learnt at this level of her scholarship, but figures now is not the time. What she does do is blurt out what she’s been thinking since Sectionals, and especially since earlier in the day: “What happened with Quinn?” / Her name gets her, just like it does every time. If he’d used baby, she’d mark it up to one of his tried-and-true panty droppers. But there’s an earnestness when he says Rachel like that that she can’t resist. She can feel herself blushing from head to toe.
why: Ouch. But it ends happy in the second one.

Noah "Puck" Puckerman/Rachel Berry

6 Times Puck Realizes RAchel Berry Has Him Wrapped ARound Her Little Finger (And Sorta Doesn't Mind) [location: livejournal]

author: of_hearts
rating: FRT
summary: none given
why: It's funny as hell and Puck manages to become whipped without turning into an OOC sappy version of himself.

131 Days Later [location: livejournal]

author: becca_radcgg
rating: FRT
summary: Day 1 – she sees him. Day 10 – They drive together. But by Day 60 things are changing fast.
why: It's a nice, slow, build-up post-sectionals. I like that it shows Rachel cares for both Puck and Finn.

All of Our Moves Make Up for the Silence (sequel to Waging Wars to Shake the Poet)[location: livejournal]

author: andbless_mybaby
spoilers: Through 1.06 "Vitamine D" rating: FRAO summary: He pushes her into an empty bedroom. And he’s ready to blast her for being such a stuck-up, obnoxious, loser bitch, but it’s like he’s got Idle Hands syndrome or something. Because he opens his mouth to call her something nasty and ends up kissing her instead.
why: It's complex, nasty and mean. Much like these two could so totally be.

Blame it on Bartle & Jaymes [location: livejournal]

author: jan
spoilers: Through 1.09 "Wheels"
rating: FRAO
summary: Somewhere between finding out they have some common music ground and her third Fuzzy Navel, Rachel has a confession for Puck.
why: It's a bit on the hot side. ;)

Blame on Me[location: livejournal]

author: cold_fiction
spoilers Through 1.08: "Mash-Up"
rating: FRC
summary: The club has been broken by the revelation of the true father of Quinn's baby, and Rachel is torn by what side she needs to be on.
why: It's very subtle and understated. A different take on 'the reveal' than what I'm used to reading. Very well done, IMO.

Conversations Between Two McKinley High Students [location: ff.net]

author: Glow
spoilers: Through 1.05 "The Rhodes Not Taken"
rating: FRT
summary: ...who are not friends. At all. Or: Moments where Noah Puckerman is not a total *bleep* to Rachel Berry.
why: The car scene alone makes this fic worth reading. The rest is a fantastic story from Pucks POV, as well. It does suffer from lack of little sister, but it was started before we saw her, I belive.

Crescendo [location: livejournal]

author: unequivocally
rating: FRM
summary: a gradual, steady increase in loudness or force.
why: Because Puck + Rachel + Music is so very hot.

Discover Me, Discovering You [location:livejournal]

author: niceskin
rating: FRAO
summary: One minute he was bored as fuck in his room, and the next he was making Berry come by speaking. He was a God.
why: It's phone sex!

Double Down [location: livejournal]

See Brittany/Santana Lopez

Good Luck to You and the King, Live as the Man on the Side, Could You Pencil Me In When You Can? [location: livejournal]

See Finn Hudson/Rachel Berry

I Had One in the Bathroom With No Windows [location: livejournal]

author: fuzzy_paint
rating: FRAO
summary: He had no idea Rachel Berry partied.
why: It's hot and angsty, vaguely like a PWP with that bite of angst at the end that makes it not so much a PWP.

I'd Steal Your Heart Before You Ever Heard a Thing [location: ff.net]

See Finn Hudson/Rachel Berry

Inside the Mind of Noah Puckerman [location: livejournal]

author: niceskin
rating: FRT
summary: Puck contemplates his feelings for Rachel, and his masculinity. Puck’s POV.
why: Because it's sappy, yet still very IC.

Over Easy [location: livejournal]

author: unequivocally
rating: FRT
summary: There's a big difference between baking and cooking.
why: Because the thought of Rachel being able to bake like a goddess but being hopeless as a cook, while Puck rocks at cooking just really makes me happy.

Paradise by the Dashboard Light [location: livejournal]

author: cuethe_pulse
spoilers: Through 1.05 "The Rhodes Not Taken"
rating: FRAO
summary: Takes place some undetermined time after “The Rhodes Not Taken”; Salt-n-Pepa, an orange, and Meatloaf turn out to be excellent foreplay.
why: It's Meatloaf and Puckleberry, there really needs to be no other reason.

Patterns of Fairytales [location: livejournal]

author: of_hearts
rating: FRM
summary: Five times Puck gets Rachel to break the law and the one time they get caught.
why: Because Puck is a bad, bad influence!

Sixty-Four Colors, The Scientific Method, Riding in Trucks [location: livejournal]

author: unequivocally
rating: FRAO
summary: 64-Color boxes with a sharpener on the back; Puck gets in touch with his creative side / There are few forces in this world greater than that of a 16-year-old boy who thinks he has a chance at seeing boobs. Rachel has a hypothesis and Puck's all for hands-on experimentation. / Puck may or may not go to class today, Rachel is terrible at talking dirty, and Truck Ownership is contended (It's not her damn truck).
why: It's hot and funny. Go forth and read!

Thanks for the Pamphlet, Miss Pillsbury [location: livejournal]

author: cruiscin_lan
rating: FRT
summary: Finn opens up to the guidance counselor about everything going on in his life - including his relationship with Quinn, what he thinks about Puck and Rachel together, and spontaneous ketchup allergies.
why: It's just far too funny and very in voice, IMO.

Turning Saints into the Sea, And We Will Blow Away [location: livejournal]

See Finn Hundson/Rachel Berry

Underneath // Underneath Part 2 // Underneath (part 3) [location: livejournal]

author: [Bad username or site: /not-poignant @ livejournal.com]
rating: FRAO
summary: I wish I could say a prompt inspired this, but really, just imagining Puck and Rachel doing dirty things together did.
why: While Puck is most definitely not a nice boy, not even really a decent boy, part way through the story he... shifts into something approaching decent.

Waging Wars to Shake the Poet [location: livejournal]

author: andbless_mybaby
spoilers: Through 1.06 "Vitamin D"
rating: FRM
summary: Quinn is knocked up, his best friend is stumbling around like a well-intentioned zombie, and he has no business doing any of this with an innocent bystander, the obnoxious and disturbingly attractive Glee-tard snot who keep angling to get blasted by (not so) friendly fire. Wrong doesn’t even cover it, actually – the accurate term is fucked.
why: This is not a happy or pretty fic. And Puck? So not a nice guy. That's pretty much why I love it.

Way over Town [location: livejournal]

author: blincolin
spoilers: Throught 1.08 "Mash-Up"
rating: FRAO
summary: Puck likes women.
why: It's Puck and sex.

We Weren't Friends Before [location: livejournal]

author: niceskin
rating: FRM
summary: "The fuck are you at home for?" He asks, because Berry being home on a Thursday is like, stranger than Donald Trump deciding he wants to fuck the shit out of Rosie O'Donnell.
why: It's utterly sappy while not turning Puck OOC. Yes, I love sappy Puck/Rachel fic. Sue me!

We're Both Good-Looking Jews [location: livejournal]

author: ohladybegood
spoilers: Throught 1.08 "Mash-Up"
rating: FRT
summary: Companion to "sin tetas, no hay paraiso". Puck and Rachel, through baby drama, glee shenanigans, and (of course) Puck's inability to admit that he actually likes her.
why: Crazy is his nick-name for her. That and I just love Puck's characterization in this one.

Quinn Fabray/Rachel Berry

Threading Hope Like Fire [location: livejournal]

author: summerstorm
rating: FRM
summary: Contains: accidental stimulation (for a prompt at glee_kink_meme)
why: AWKWARD!
