Brittany and Santana’s 7 most swoon-worthy moments

Pop quiz, lezzers – what does today have in common with an apocalypse? Answer: We’re staring into a deserted wasteland with no new Glees in sight. Yep, tonight begins Glee‘s seven-week hiatus. That’s nearly two months without Santana Lopez cutting through glass with her one-liners, Rachel Berry cracking glass with her voice, Quinn Fabray shattering glass because it’s not worthy to hold her reflection, and every lesbian on earth having a cold glass of water after the inevitable dehydration that follows Heather Morris dance solo.

Luckily, your AfterEllen.com staff has been preparing for this day. After the deep depression our Gleeks spiraled into during the 2011 hiatus, we knew we needed to do something to help you keep your heads above water. So, for the next seven weeks, we’re going to present seven countdowns of sevens. That’s seven countdowns featuring things like The Seven Worst Things Glee> Characters Have Been Forced to Say; and Seven Times Glee Really Out-Gayed Itself. But today, we’re presenting Brittana’s Seven Most Swoon-Worthy Moments (in no particular order).

It was the throwaway line heard ’round the world. Santana was like, “Sex is not dating.” And Brittany was all, “If it were, Santana and I would be dating.” And every lesbian everywhere was like, “WHAAAAAT?” Sure, we’d seen then flirting and occasionally canoodling, but they were actually doing it? Yeah, they were! Apparently, the writing staff had every intention of letting that joke go, but we had every opposite intention. I actually think Santana’s face had the best reaction of all.

If lesbian fans hadn’t been determined to see the Brittana ship sail before “Blame it on the Alcohol,” they were sure as hell resolved after seeing Santana do a body shot off of Brittany’s abs. Probably the writers were still titillating us (and everyone else) at this point. Little did they know that Brittana’s fate was sealed in our hearts by then, and we were going to see them together.

Later, we would have to explain to Glee‘s writers that neck nuzzles aren’t kisses, but when it first happened, we ran around in circles with our hands over our heads, hooting and hollering to beat the band. Finally, proof that Santana and Brittany were more than friends – even if Santana did give us the bonerkiller line about only making out with Brittany because she needed something warm underneath her for digestion purposes. (Lies!)

It’s been almost a full year since Santana and Brittany performed “Landslide” with Gwyneth, and frankly we still can’t watch the clip without getting choked up. We were sure it was Brittany who was in unrequited love with Santana, but it turns out it was Santana who’d built her life around Brittany.

Hurt Locker is the moment that split time in half. Suddenly there was “before Naya Rivera was our God” and “now that Naya Rivera is our God.” Santana’s confession that she was in love with Brittany, and Brittany’s ridiculous decision not to DUMP ARTIE ON THE SPOT broke our hearts and also our brains. But then, how could we stay mad at Brittany when she made Santana that famous “Lebanese” shirt and encouraged her to love herself as much as Brittany loved her.

After two seasons of are-we/aren’t-we, Santana finally asked for clarification about her relationship with Brittany. Brittany was like, “Dinner dates and bubble baths mean we’re dating, right?” And so they officially became official – and held hands under a napkin.

The God Squad dropped a truth bomb – God isn’t mad at anyone for being gay – before serenading Brittany with a “Cherish/Cherish” mashup. And then Brittany and Santana kissed – really, really kissed. And it was everything we hoped for and more.

It was nearly impossible to narrow down this list. So tell us: What do you you think is Brittany and Santana’s most swoon-worthy moment?
