Summary: We are shown early on that life isn’t like a fairytale or a legend. However, there are those rare cases when something magical happens. Finn Hudson’s case is in the more extreme version of things. After breaking into a house on a dare, he meets Will who is a really nice guy with a killer voice. Problem is that he’s kind of cursed to look like a horrible beast.
Suddenly Finn finds himself spending time with Will and falling a little bit in love. However, his best friend and his ex-girlfriend are keeping a secret. He has to help start a lesbian relationship. And in the midst of all this, he needs to make his happy ending. No said being in your own fairytale would be easy after all. It just makes life so much more interesting.

“Happily Ever After is Once Upon a Time but it has given up hope.”-Unknown

So that’s the story.

Well…

That’s the story that I came to tell. Who knows you could have the continuation in you.

See here’s a problem with stories. Sometimes they don’t know when to end. See that’s fine for the stories but people need an ending all wrapped up in a nice little bow.

The problem with Will and Finn’s tale is that it doesn’t end in this moment. It continues on for a very long time. I could tell you how Will got a job and became the Spanish teacher. How he and Finn snuck around for a year until Finn went off to college nearby. I could tell you about how they grew comfortable with each other and were ridiculously happy. Not that they didn’t have their fights because I could tell you about those as well.

I could tell you about how Finn forgave Quinn and Puck in time. Or I can tell you how Rachel and Brittany were voted ‘Oddest Couple’ in the yearbook, not that they cared because they were too wrapped up in each other. I could tell you about Baby Fabray-Puckerman and how she came in to the world.

I have a thousand stories that I could weave and spin for you. But it would detract from the message. It would drag on forever. There is no good place to stop because even though the spell ended; the magic still lives on.

So it’s up to you, Reader, if you enjoyed it enough then you imagine it. I have done my part. I have told you a story.

I don’t leave you with a ‘Happily Ever After’ and all its false promises.

Instead I leave you with ‘Once Upon a Time’ and the endless possibilities that come with it.

Are you ready?

"I just want to write some Winn since the internet needs more damnit!" <- Obviously you're a man after my own heart! Write it!(I'm working on some myself, so hopefully that'll help if it turns out any good!)

And I wouldn't see it as a contest, I'm just interested in how you would have it end.

(Sorry hopenight for hijacking your awesomeness!)
p.s. nothing wrong with saying fairy-nuff! :p

Obviously you're a man after my own heart! I think all Winn fans want there to be more Winn, the problem is most of us are too lazy/busy/etc. to actually write some.

I have a number of fic ideas, the problem is most of them are quite lengthy. On top of that I have to write a 4-8K fic for Ship Wars by the end of Apirl, and have three fics for spring_with_xan by the second week of May.

p.s. nothing wrong with saying fairy-nuff! :p Oh no, nothing wrong with it. It's just that the only person I've seen write it before is my gay cousin... and I am totally within my rights to describe him as such because he's way gayer than I am XD

I totally beat him to coming out though. My Aunt phoned my mum to say he'd come out and my mum was like "Oh really, yeah David came out in September." So I won! XD

You're a man after my own heart too! Especially since you have a love of Winn.

I will never stop saying how much more we need this pairing. I'm sick of reading Puck/Kurt fics. (Not that I don't enjoy them but I need some other pairing)

Ugh my sympathies toward your writing. I'm halfway through two 20k Big Bangs. Both are due within a day of each other. And my school has decided to pile on the work so I need to use this break to write.

P.S.: Hahaha! Love the fact that there was a contest of who came out first! At least you weren't accidentally outed...like I did to my cousin. In my defense, he should have TOLD me that he didn't tell his dad that he was gay yet. Before he got trashed on wine coolers and we started talking about his boyfriend.
My uncle took it in stride. But oh God! The looks on their faces when that happened will stay with me forever.

Oh wow. 2 Big Bangs, that's tough. May I return your sympathies in full.

Oh dear, accidental coming out; kinda funny but still ouch. My own coming out wasn't accidental, more impromptu. I'd written a creative writing essay about a gay character so my friends were teasing me and calling me gay and I sort of flippantly just went "Yeah, I am." Hanna's response still made me laugh, "Wait, seriously? Or are you saying that to shut us up?" Still one of my favourite responses XD

[hopenight.livejournal.com]

You're sympathies are greatly appreciated. I'm actually working on my Supernatural Big Bang as I type this. But this fic requires more research than my Bandom one. So I hope to have that one done before my break ends...

And I'm rambling. Sorry.

XD That's better then my cousin. I felt bad for him for about two seconds before giggling hysterically. I told him not to have all those wine coolers.
Of course then he retaliated by telling my dad that I don't see the point in sexual orientation. I don't think he's quite over that yet.
