I could make you happy,
make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn’t do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
To make you feel my love

rin-says asked: “The moment you knew that a shift had occurred. When you stopped just appreciating Faberry for being what they were, and turned into a rabid-violent-unyielding shipper. Photoset. With explanation.”
Remember that time Quinn and Rachel went to prom in matching pink/blue boy/girl dresses? Remember the time Rachel poured her heart out and the song ended with Quinn watching her over Finn’s shoulder? Remember when Rachel ditched Finn and followed Quinn into the bathroom? Remember when Quinn slapped her all Buffy/Angel? Remember when Rachel did the girly equivalent of sexy wound tending? Remember when Quinn Fabray was the prettiest girl she’d ever seen but a lot more than that too?
REMEMBER THAT TIME RACHEL PICKED OUT THE CORSAGE THAT MADE QUINN SMILE LIKE SHE HADN’T SMILED IN FOREVER?
I had to think long and hard about this ask, because Faberry really was a slow progression for me, and even though I’d always enjoyed their dynamic, the actual shipping, and then the actual scary, bat-wielding, mouth-frothing shipping, kind of snuck up on me.
But I think this was a major turning point for me. Because when you look back it’s sort of when the subtext started rapidly becoming text. It’s sort of when we all realised that Finn Hudson was the useless part of the group when it came to this triangle. At least from where Quinn was standing.
Because it was ALL ABOUT RACHEL. ALL OF IT. The flowers, the flattery, the dance, the rage, the tears, the tenderness. Prom was all about Rachel for Quinn.
Rachel loves Quinn. Quinn loves Rachel like that. This is where that all started for me. And by the time Rachel was pleading with pink-haired Quinn to bring her tremulous alto and her Belinda Carlisle glamour back to Glee and pink-haired Quinn was licking her lips about it? There was no turning back.
Holy Jesus. When I thought about the question for myself, this is the scene I landed on too. The fabathroom… it’s just. Ship of the show, really. And yes to all of the above. Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes.
filthylittleangels asked ‘The Faberry screencap you think best sums them up :)’
Talk about a hard choice. And I couldn’t even leave the screencap as a single image!
I chose this screencap because I feel like Faberry have been building towards this moment for a while now. Since Beth, Quinn hadn’t let herself dream of a future outside of Lima, and was pretty resigned to the fact that she’d never get out of Lima. And that was her thing, she wasn’t going anywhere, but Rachel was — and Quinn has always known that. But for whatever reason, Rachel has had this uncanny determination to let Quinn know that she was just as special. She saw things in Quinn that Quinn never saw in herself, and eventually? The belief Rachel had in Quinn was enough for Quinn to believe that she had a future too. That her future could be Yale, and acting and things bigger than she could have ever imagined.
And it’s this moment, in this screencap where I can see just how far they’ve come. Quinn is inspired and looking forward and so ready to have it all, and it’s because of Rachel Berry. There are no two other characters on Glee who want more for each other than these two right here.
And oh, you didn’t ask for a lengthy summary, but you got one anyway. :)
You would choose this. Like you don’t know I’m obsessed with this look. This look of peaceful wonderment, this look that says Quinn knows she is finally on her way and she knows that Rachel Berry was her green light?
I just.
The little yellow tea-cosy hat. It means everything.
This post makes me wish I could like things multiple times. Or that there was a bigger heart.
I’m sorry, but Dan and Blair are the Rachel and Quinn of Gossip Girl. Two people who were at odds with one another since season 1, until they both realized how much they cared about each other, and how their goals and dreams intertwined with one another. Each other’s overall happiness was more…
YES!! I’ve been saying this for weeks now! That whole name bit from the last episode, guh, dying from the cuteness!!!!
Fic: Best. Tony Awards. Ever.
Brittany plopped down on the couch beside her. “I just looked online: I think Rachel’s category is next.”
Seriously one of the best Faberry fics I have ever read, best one shot ever, it’s just so lovely, I cried, I died, it’s actually perfect. (Well now I’ve ruined it because I NEED MORE!!! I need there to be a part two that starts right in that taxi and follows all the way to Radio Hall.) This is so good though. SO GOOD.
Oh God my heart.

That awkward moment when people think this is a manip… The worse moment when you know this is real, but was cut from the show. :(
I’ve seen it happen with people I knew growing up that hated each other, and then years later you go home and you see them walking down the street and they have babies.
This is seriously the first and only time I really thought they were going to kiss. LOOK AT THEM BOTH. This was cut from BTW, the same episode where earlier Quinn hugged Finn while Blaine serenaded Kurt, and she looked about half as happy there. Like Rachel isn’t even looking at her, they’re side by side, so if Quinn is just supposed to be pretending to lure Rachel into a false sense of security why does she look so happy when Rachel isn’t even watching?!? Seriously, this is kind of like the Quinn/Rachel equivalent to the picture Dianna took of Lea cooking them dinner. Does nobody else think it really looks like Rachel’s just going to turn her head down towards Quinn and kiss her? It’s so strong in my head, I can even see Quinns face after, it’d be all dopey smiley, and Rachel would panic and realise what she’d just done and Quinn would laugh and kiss her back. Being gay makes Quinn happy, I feel like this is so well established, then they get to New York and she doesn’t want gay sex with Santana (who is a ride), clearly her entire life is Rachel, Rachel, Rachel. I don’t care how awful the dialogue was in this scene, I’d love to see the entire thing, we need a rich Faberry fan to offer money for, Fox loves money, it’s a sure-fire winner!
this
is
not
a
crackship.
I always wonder how I’d feel about Faberry if Achele wasn’t what it is. We’re most likely never going to get even Faberry friendship on the show, which usually would infuriate and upset me, but because Lea & Dianna are so, I don’t know, together, it doesn’t bother me at all. It’s lovely to imagine all the ways Rachel and Quinn could save each other and better themselves just by being together, how happy they would be, but you can’t ever really get angry about it not happening when one half of the acting couple is telling the other one how beautiful she is while the other half takes a random question about their conflict and answers it by saying in ten years they’ll have babies together. HOW CAN THAT NOT MAKE YOU INSANELY HAPPY?? :) <3 :)
I just feel like Rachel’s going to just decide it’s time and then do it, and it’s sooooo not true to her character, she’s the kind of girl who’d frog march him to the GUM clinic (or whatever you call American sex clinics), force him to have a bunch of STD tests, make him sit through HOURS of lectures explaining the benefits of every type of contraception available to both sexes, and then she’d go on the pill and wait until she was sure it agreed with her and was actually working, AND she’d make him use a condom and spermicide. Finn just takes away her Rachelness, it’s really sad.
Or it’s gay panic. Quinn is looking at her all doe-eyed, telling her not to have sex, so she runs home and sleeps with Finn. The only thing I really want to see during the sex is Lea NAKED!!! IF SHE’S WEARING THE RING!!!!
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try, to fix you
FABERRY WILL MAKE IT TOO…
…SOON
JUST. WAIT.
Top Faberry Moments —> 2x14
#in which Quinn was completely mesmerized after hearing the word ‘girlfriend’
Who wouldn’t be mesmerized by a girl wearing a lime green chiffon doily?
“I need you”
Dianna’s face is so perfect here. It’s real tears, her face looks puffy and she’s sad and broken, but there’s still this little flame of hope in her eyes. This is like Lea Michele good though, she really is most improved for me without a doubt
Hey. Washing hair. I wonder what Quinn’s doing right now. How can I relate this to Quinn? Quinn has hair. Must talk about Quinn!
This is what you call ultimate conflict, when you settle for just being like
“Ok, Faberry is never going to happen, it’s ok to just make Puckleberry your OTP, they are super cute together, look at them! Ok great. WAIT RACHEL DON’T START TALKING ABOUT QUINN LIKE YOU’VE DONE THIS WITH HER OFF CAMERA!!! “
