Well if you insist.  Here’s a few that aren’t normally the ones that are recced but I think are beautiful.  To give myself a theme, I’m sticking to a few recent ones that are housed on AO3, otherwise, I’ll be here all night. ;) 

the battle’s almost won (and we’re only several miles from the sun) by TexasWatermelon
She’d never really understood why all of the guys were constantly losing their shit over Quinn in high school, but she gets it now.

Before we turn to stone by waywardcherry
Quinn wants to feel something and finds an old dress.

If We Were Children I Would Bake You A Mudpie by unoriginalrhombus (incomplete)
“They’re not friends, not really, because neither girl really knows how to do that. Instead, they’re comrades, pushed together by a cause and stuck together for the cause. Still, Quinn often thinks that if Santana were one for sentiments, she might just tell her that she’s the best not-friend Quinn’s ever had.” Mostly AU.

Just another heartbreak on my lips by magical_realism27
Quinn Fabray was not jealous. She never got jealous. Especially not of the stranger that was currently dancing with Santana. Because that would mean her two-time thing with her best friend had just gotten complicated.

An Honest Mistake by astano
When she crawls back to the end of the bed and fishes the phone out of her pocket, she’s annoyed, then intrigued, to find the message is from Quinn, and it reads: I’ve been thinking about you.

This Thing Between Us by beingtogether
It’s not like she knew right away she was falling for her friend. By the time she realized how deep she really was, it was too late. Quinn was in a relationship. Quinn was engaged. Quinn was married.

Life is Never What You Wanted by only_because3
Quinn gracefully climbs on to the fire escape, her brown skirt that was an appropriate length before inching up her thighs. You can’t be sure if your mind is playing tricks on you or not, but you can’t swear that Quinn’s wearing underwear.

Glee Girls Smut Meme fill to this & this gif. Future Quinntana, Quinn’s married but she can’t say no when Santana’s in town. 

Ulterior Motives by CorvusCorvidae
Corporate espionage is nothing new to Quinn, but Santana Lopez is, and this will be one job she’ll never forget. AU. One-shot. Quinntana Week Day Six: Spies/Secret Agents.

You’re So Mean When You Talk (About Yourself) by unoriginalrhombus  
“It’s not much, especially in the grand scheme of things, but it’s still a lot more than Santana has ever given her. Hell, it’s a lot more than Quinn has ever willingly been given, and it makes her panic. She’s tallying the points and the days now and everything is heavily pointing towards relationship, and God, how had she not seen this coming? She has a drawer and if she isn’t careful, she’ll start to believe that she has a home, too.” Post 4x14 (I do).
