The other comments above have gone into the awesomeness of POV and sexy, sexy wrongness, so I won't bore you to tears by repeating them (but let it be noted that I wholeheartedly agree!).
He waves a dismissive hand. “No, not that. Of course you’re talented, Rachel. There’s more to you than just your voice, you know.” I loved this line because it's classic Rachel. Her voice defines her. Even after Laryngitis she still demands the solos etc... and I think that she's desperate for someone to acknowledge that. Will is the opposite. He's desperate for somebody to realise that he can sing even if it's just the Glee kids. I think that's part of why they work so well together.
She’d wanted to wear a faux-fur cape; he’d insisted that only one of them should wear a cape, and it was his turn. Omg, I actually had to stop reading I was laughing so hard. I can picture that argument so clearly - how Rachel would eventually cave because it's just not worth having to listen to Jesse throwing a strop!
For the first time in her life – or, at least, since her fifth birthday, when her dads gave her a boom box and Betty Buckley’s greatest hits collection – she can’t think of an appropriate song for the occasion. Again, great line. Sometimes when I'm watching the show and there's something dramatic going down, I can tell that Rachel is inwardly writing the event into the musical of her life.
“The next time anyone bullies you, you come straight to me, okay?” He reaches out and touches Rachel’s cheek gently, with the hand he’d had nestled between her legs just a few minutes earlier. “I’ll take care of it. I promise.” Oooooh, sexy, sexy wrongness! I'm not sure if this line creeped me out or slightly aroused me (... which probably says more about me than the fic! :D), but either way I loved it. I think one of Will's big problems is that he's in a sort of limbo. He left McKinley a popular kid with 'The Voice' aaaaaaand now he's a divorced 30-something with dodgy dance-moves and a penchant for even dodgier rapping. I think his boundary issues lie, at least partly, with the fact that he wants to be popular/accepted again. Even pre-divorce he was lonely - other than Emma and maybe Ken, he doesn't seem to have had many friends. Glee is a throwback to his glory days, so he doesn't stop himself from crossing lines where other teachers would because he's just so eager to be part of Glee club, and be one of the gang. I think that's why him and Rachel work so well together - they're both essentially after the same thing.
... Um, that turned out far more waffly than I had anticipated! Sorry! To sum up: great fic, you rock! :)
