Catfish story-line resolved at last.
Glee AU: Ryder decides to ask Unique to senior prom. She eagerly accepts, but then has second thoughts about what the school will think about it. Ryder assures her that things will be okay, and the two are nominated for and then win Prom King and Queen, giving them the courage to announce their relationship.

ALSO RYDER IS THE ONE WHO DELIVERED UNIQUE’S BABY
ALSO UNIQUE HAD A BABY, MERCEDES AND KURT ARE GRANDPARENTS
So this is the tweet that anon was telling me about, but I can’t find it anymore :( In any case, I’m always holding out hope for them and tbh (with all due respect to his art) it’s not like Joaquin is a writer
This is a real tweet. It’s dated Nov. 22 from an American time zone. Right here. [Link]
That seems like a statement about their current state (I don't know if current means for aired episodes or for filmed episodes or for existing scripts or what, but it certainly doesn't extend all the way to the end of the series). It doesn't say anything one way or another about their future story lines at all.
But you’re just a boy…

ficlet: save the best for last (ryder/unique)
After the word got out that Kitty was dating Artie; and Ryder was in the band for the Tina-vention, and they all knew that Sam was taking Tina to Prom; and Jake and Marley were both his friends, of course, but he doesn’t think they’d want or even accept a third wheel on the first Prom they’d have together, even if it weren’t for the pesky Ryder-kissed-Marley incident (and the fact that Ryder also had still secret and not-entirely-platonic feelings for Jake); and although Blaine was single for the purpose of being Tina’s Prom date, he’s very very very much loudly not single for real….
Well, he could go ask the Cheerio in the neckbrace again. Celeste. (Though the Prom Court nomination announcements say that her first name is Jordan, and what’s up with that, also he could’ve gone as the date of the maybe-Prom-Queen if he’d played his cards right).
But it just feels right to go with a girl from Glee club. They’re all family, now, way closer than he’s ever been with a group like the football team, and it’s what everyone else seems to be doing….
And there’s only one girl in Glee club who doesn’t have a date. So he mans up, and asks her, the last period before ticket sales close, the day before Prom. “Hey, um, Unique, I was wondering. Will you go to Prom with me?”
Real smooth; but it doesn’t have to be smooth, she knows him already, knows how smooth he usually isn’t, there are no illusions there. At least he didn’t have to write it out.
"Sure," she says, and if she’s surprised it doesn’t show on her face, (though he knows she’s a great actress now), but her slow-blossoming smile makes his heart pound faster than he’d expected.
"Great!" he replies, with a grin so wide it splits his face. "I’ll pick you up at six thirty?"
She laughs, and it’s musical, and how has he never noticed that. “Wait, let me write down my address.”
Drabble: Question Time (Ryder/Unique)
Summary: Just a typical afternoon of hanging out for Ryder and Unique as they contemplate bodies, and things that happen on stages. Wordcount: ~550 Rating: T for mentions of sex and boobs For NeyronRose’s prompt: Something about Ryder and Unique from Now I’m a Believer. Also betaed by NeyronRose. Thank you! :D
Ryder was cross-legged on Unique’s bed, hunched over his notebook and tapping a pencil against his chin. He had text-to-speech turned on, and his laptop was reading to him in its robotic voice about Romeo and Juliet.
Unique said “Hey,” and waited for Ryder to pause the speech. She turned away from the mirror where she’d been styling her mid-length wig for prom. “Can you use headphones? That thing can’t say Mercutio right and it’s making me a little nuts.”
Dear fandom, I would very much appreciate a greater volume of Rynique fic to read. Much love, Inny
