Summary: Dreams are peculiar things. For Santana, her worst nightmare comes true with the words “there’s been an accident”. It takes thousands of steps to rebuild her life and replace the nightmare with her greatest dreams.
Author’s Note #1: This has been in my “In Progress” folder for well over a year and was originally a Rachel/Quinn. I honestly thought I would never finish it but about a month or so ago I decided to pick it back up, convert it to Santana/Brittany, rewrite everything I already had written, and then finish it.
Author’s Note #2: I am by no means a doctor but I did as much as I could to make it accurate. I know someone who went through very similar things and so a lot of the details were pulled from that. So I guess you could say that this is inspired by true events.
Music: My ‘inspirational soundtrack’ for this story:
A Thousand Years – Christina Perri (also the inspiration for the title)
1000 Ships – Rachel Platten (I also highly recommend the rest of her music)
