Drabble Series: A Pocketful of Quinn

[griefofdawn]

Disclaimer: The usual perils of non-ownership - Fox owns the Glee people and Ryan Murphy and Co. came up with the idea. All things Stars Hollow/Gilmore Girls created by Amy Sherman-Palladino. Characters borrowed from 'The Devil Wears Prada' were created by Lauren Weisberger. I don't own any of them but these words are mine.

Summary: A series of 100 double drabble (200 words) and drabble (100 words) vignettes, covering several months in the life of high school frenemies Rachel Berry and Quinn Fabray - as roommates, and possibly more, in an AU, post collegiate world.

Spoilers: Assume spoilers for Seasons 1-2. And occasional spoilers for Season 3 even though this is AU for most of that season. Key Season 3 AU comes from the following changes - No Evil!Baby Snatching!Quinn and Rachel says no to Finn marriage proposal. All differences flow from there.

Rating: PG-13 Max for adult themes but mostly PG.

Length: 21K words of actual story (+ assorted author notes/disclaimers)

Notes:

• Why mostly double drabbles? I find it easier to squeeze moments into 200 words instead of 100 though there are still limitations to the format.
• Am I working from a prompt list/table? No. Just ideas running through my head.
• Endgame? Some kind of Faberry.
• Crossovers? Very slight. Not enough to label it crossover IMO.
  • Gilmore Girls cross. Shelby and Beth live in Stars Hollow and Shelby teaches at Chilton. A few characters show up but most just are just passing thru.
  • I've borrowed a certain editor and crew from Runway (The Devil Wears Pravda). Again, just brief mentions.
• Cast? Most of the Gleeks eventually appear in some fashion. Several of the adults from Glee also are mentioned. Use the tags to find out who directly appears in which vignettes.
• Sometimes, the drabble titles don't really mean anything.
• It was always meant to end that way. Future installments will dig deeper.
