Fic rec: Let your love grow tall by dollsome
Spoilers: through 2×16 “Original Song”
Summary: Everything’s easy when you never have to choose — or, Brittany’s side of the story.Here’s a secret: Brittany knows that Santana lied. It’s still cheating. Plumbing doesn’t matter.
I can’t express enough how much I love this story so much. I’ve always liked Brittany but somewhere along the way, with my first glimpse of Santana’s ‘bitch, please’ expression I’ve turned into a Santana fan. Naya just plays her so, so well. And, unfortunately, for Brittany the writers insisted on writing her like a kid in a grown up body. In the Football episode I began to see glimmers of the Brittany I liked then Sexy hit and no one in this fandom was the same again.
Santana’s journey was so raw and powerful sometimes it is hard to see anything else. But I found myself even more interested in Brittany’s side of the story, I wanted to know what’s going on inside that Luna Lovegood like head of hers.
This story, I think, is that. I love everything this story chose to be from Brittany navigating through her confusion to her reaching out to Santana and to that revelation by the end.
One of the best Brittany voices I have read in a while.
Had to go hunt this up on Google because I couldn’t find it again in my dash but I rec it so hard.
