A/N: I don't own Glee nor the characters within. So. This collection is a simple copy-and-paste of my tumblr series Random Pezberry Thought of the Day. This is exactly what that title suggests: each day I come up with a random Pezberry thought and post it. It's an exercise both in keeping my brain busy with Pezberry thoughts, as well as providing for those who still wish to see new Pezberry content. I'm cross-posting here for the same reasons, as well as, hey, if anyone's inspired, yay! I'm glad. :D You can use any of this as you wish - just let me know about the finished project! Please!
As it is, I've chosen to post in batches of ten just to keep it a bit organized, and some thoughts reference fics I've previously posted. However, those are marked as such, if you get curious. Also, if there are tumblr tags that are part and parcel of the Thoughts, they are transcribed as well.
One last disclaimer: the Thought in Random Pezberry Thought of the Day most often, as it says in the description of this series, equals headcanon, equals almost complete fic/drabble inspiration, equals if i had energy to flesh it out more. So, that being said, enjoy!
Random Pezberry Thought of the Day #1:
In a world Pezberry gets together in high school:
Santana has such a complicated relationship with sex after her early high school years and breaking up with Brittany that some days all she wants is to get Rachel off without allowing her to reciprocate, and other days she only wants Rachel to get her off before shoving her off of her. It's very rare, early on in their relationship, that they do anything together.
Rachel, who, for her own part, is initially unsure she is actually ready for sex for herself in the beginning, doesn't originally think too much of it; she experiences so much just touching Santana that it's more than enough - though being pushed away doesn't feel too good. However, when she does feel ready for sex (after having been falling even harder and harder for Santana), it takes her a while to figure out what's behind Santana's callous, affected front.
#2:
Rachel thought a lot about proposing a one night stand or heavy, thorough experimentation with Santana when they lived in the loft together. Even during their "fallout", she was guilty of her mind flashing to, at least once, the possibility of experimenting a steamy, torrid, punishing bout of hate sex with Santana instead.
#3:
Santana would never ever ever admit it, but she was always the one who covered Rachel with a blanket when she'd come home from a late shift or the club and find the girl passed out on the couch in the middle of a pile of scripts and homework.
#4:
In a world Pezberry used to be childhood friends:
The summer before high school started, after months of tension and unspoken words, Santana and Rachel kissed behind Rachel's house. After Rachel whispered a small, trembling, "I love you," Santana panicked, pushing her away. "Don't be stupid!" she snapped, backing up, "You don't! You-you can't!" Then, turning on her heel, she fled, not answering Rachel's phone calls and avoiding her completely until the day high school started and there she was: a popular Cheerio rabidly determined to punish Rachel for ever making her question herself.
#5:
When Rachel gets pregnant with their first child, Santana makes her swear she won't push through naming their child Fantine, Carlotta, Cornelius, Ubaldo, or any other Broadway inspired name while she's distracted holding their child for the first time. They decide together.
#6:
(Referencing my story Ill Repute)
Rachel finally gets her old time saloon dancer and sharpshooter cheesy couple portrait with Santana, black and white and all.

And here's a bonus add-on ficlet by lightblue-Nymphadora!:
But then a new space-themed amusement park opens near them, and Santana insists on a Space Ranger/Moon Princess picture.
And when they go to San Diego to visit Mercedes over their spring break freshman year, they end up taking a scuba diver (Rachel) and mermaid (Santana) picture.
Rachel's family vacations in Colorado over the summer, with Santana in attendance, and they end up with a distressed skier and abominable snowman picture (the kind with the cutouts that you stick your face in).
By the time they graduate college, their fridge is filled with pictures of them in costumes, peeping through wooden cutouts, or superimposed onto fantastic scenery.
Years later, it's still their favorite tradition, and they take it as a compliment when their kids complain. :)
#7:
The first time Rachel, gazing surreptitiously at Santana down the hallway, realized that she wasn't just imagining herself in the Cheerio skirt, but imagining herself actually in Santana's Cheerio skirt, she ended up knee-jerkily hitting herself in the face with her locker door.
#8:
While "I believe you," was the first time Santana truly smiled at Rachel, it wasn't the last.
#9:
The amount of times Santana thought seriously about the various ways of muffling Rachel's never-ending cascade of words: with her hand, that musty old pillow, Porcelain's hand, her mouth, one of Kurt's ties, one of her… other things, would have been enough to power the entire state of New York's electrical needs for a whole year if somehow transmuted into legit, workable energy.
#10:
(Referencing my story Keep It For When I'm Famous)
Santana kept it until Rachel was famous. And then even afterwards.
(And in some universes, it didn't matter because they were married or together or friends or coworkers or roommates and Santana could have as many autographs as she wanted, anytime.)
