Rumor Has It by [livejournal.com profile] gyzym
--In which Santana Lopez learns the hard way that a life can never be ruined, only lived, and lived, and lived. Glee, Santana/Brittany, Santana/OFC

I... don't actually have the words to express what finding and reading this story has done to me, this week of all the weeks of my life. I'm not at all in the Glee fandom; haven't even watched the show since before Blaine turned up. But this. Well, it's by Jizzy, and that ought to be enough of a rec in itself, but if you need more, let me just tell you that I cried about four times as I was reading it, and my face is literally wet with tears right now -- tears of relief, and a kind of hope that I'd forgotten how to feel, frankly.

Isn't life interesting? There are these moments, as [livejournal.com profile] stardust_made very wisely said to me the other day, that kind of resonate through the years. Random moments that have nothing to recommend them except for how they twist your perception to a different value of truth, change the way you see everything without even trying, just because they're there. It's a journey, and we're making it, and no matter how boring life gets, it's these moments that make it sparkle, these moments when the light twists just so and the reflection is a fucking rainbow.

I'm pretty sure this story is going to stay with me for the rest of my life, in one way or another. Probably it won't mean the same thing to other people as it does to me; likely it's coloured by all the stuff going on the past few days. Regardless, it's a story about growing up, coming into your own, and all the different things it means. I recommed it with all my heart.
