"I'm not going to leave, Mercedes." His voice reaches a steel-like tone of defiance; his words an indestructible promise. His gaze centred on her like a bull's eye. "I didn't fight for you then and it was the biggest of my life. I gave up too quickly and I've been regretting that for almost five years now."

A collection of one-shots around the lives of Mercedes and Sam inspired by songs. Other characters will be mentioned.

Post finale. The Samcedes story that was never told.

Two Co-Stars Sam and Mercy, in a sitcom about love triangles, find themselves dealing with personal issues off screen far more interesting that on. Secrets, lies, blackmail and love all make things simply complex for our characters. This is my 1st Fan Fic, I do not have the rights to the characters. This is a Bit OCC with a Samcedes finish. Enjoy

A potentially angsty story involving Samcedes I had rediscovered I'd written. Mercedes is trying to do the right thing and far as she is concerned the best way to avoid anyone getting hurt in this situation is to pretend the feelings aren't there.

Sam Evans is a preacher's son who chooses abstinence and religious retreats over wild parties and crazy nights. One Sunday, Sam's mind drifts from his father's sermon to a beautiful girl who looks like the little girl he crushed on as a kid. Mercedes Jones is back in town but the community condemns her for provocative clothes and rumors. Can Sam save Merced without loosing himself?

Mercedes was starting to believe this whole "counting sheep" method was a load of bull. She hadn't slept in two days and she was getting more and more frustrated with each passing second. If she were honest with herself she knew the exact reason why she suddenly couldn't sleep, but Mercedes did not want to be honest right now. - Samcedes!

Takes place during the end of the summer before S3 picks up. Sorry for the lack of a summary! My first Glee fic. Samcedes!
