AU. They said she was just a pretty face, a model fed lines to sell a product. But if you squinted, there was more to Santana Lopez than they gave her credit for, and reporter Brittany Pierce was going to get to the bottom of it. Brittana/Faberry

The events of the summer between jr and sr years for Rachel, Quinn, Santana, and Brittany. Short-term schemes and long-term plans, milestones and mistakes, a short road trip or two, and lots of talking mostly, but not entirely, to each other. Also, sex.

Set after SHAfD there are spoilers . Quinn attempts denying Rachel's want for rougher sex because she just can't see her Short Stack that way. It doesn't go very well.

Brittany is perpetually cast as the dumb blonde, but the reasons behind her demeanor are more complex than that. She looks back on her childhood, her relationship with Santana, and the life-altering effects the decisions of her youth had on her future.

Future fic. Written off of the prompt: Quinn is an up and coming photographer charged with photographing the award winning Rachel Berry. Faberry goodness. M rating for later chapters.
