When military soldier Vegeta finds himself on extended medical leave for an injury, an old friend asks him to take over his job as a personal bodyguard for popstar Bulma Briefs after a frightening incident in which she was kidnapped by an over obsessed fan. Can Vegeta keep her safe? Who is this obsessed fan, or was it all a ploy to boost record sales? Something fun, light & fluffy.

Vegeta isn't human. And Bulma knows this, so she understands when he doesn't pick up on Earth culture. But sometimes what he doesn't understand is just utterly hilarious. Or, drabbles of Bulma teaching Vegeta pop culture, and some of it he really wishes he didn't know.

Following the revival, A Year in The Life: Those four words have forever changed the trajectory of Rory & her family. She's taken Jess' advice; she's writing a book and she wants his help to bring it to fruition. How will everyone react to Rory's revelation? Will she be honest with the man at the center of it all? What becomes of Rory now?

We all want to know just how in blazes Vegeta and Bulma managed to create Trunks. This is my take at it, involving psychological conditioning, stupid sexy Saiyans, hand-wavy sciencing, feasts fit for G.R.R.M. and Saiyan princes, and crazy lemons. This is a humour story, and a love story. Three-year-gap story, mostly canon-compliant. Slow burn.

Vegeta has three months to himself after finishing his missions early. Finding a nearby planet that has an interesting power level, he sets his courses for a rock called Earth. When he finally arrives to find that Goku has already died of a heart virus, he learns about the Dragonballs and his plans change. What happens when he kidnaps Bulma to help track them down? AU/Slow Burn

[Post revival, spoilers everything] She's always been her mother's daughter, but this is a curveball she definitely couldn't have seen coming. Slowly untangling the revival. Eventually Literati (and very Jess and Rory centric before then too).

Captured by Saiyan invaders, Bulma Briefs is forced to compete for the survival of herself and her home planet against terrifying odds. The Saiyans demand a barter of Earth's top human scientists in exchange for sparing the planet, but this won't stop Bulma from scheming for freedom while trying to outwit both her rival scientists and captors alike.

Prince Vegeta has two goals that must go undeterred: Beat Freeza, and clean up his shitty ass Kingdom. He thinks he's making headway until someone he least expects comes along and reminds him to breathe: a concubine.

B/V - NAMEK/FRIEZA SAGA AU - SLOW BURN *cover art by lem0uro* - When Bulma is abducted by Frieza's lackeys on Namek, she hardly expects Vegeta to be the one to rescue her. But has Vegeta saved her out of the kindness of his heart? Or does he have something more sinister in mind?

Little one shots! Ch 1: What's a Saiyan Prince to do, when faced with an enemy he can't possibly defeat? Ch 2: Bulma accidentally stirrs up some old memories, Vegeta wants to forget.

Goku and Piccolo try their inept hands at behind-the-scenes matchmaking for Bulma and Vegeta in order to ensure the birth of a certain warrior from the future. Meanwhile, Bulma begins to suspect someone is trying to kill her.

Multiple degrees and a doctorate or two? She's not bragging, but it's not rocket science (even though it really was). Landing her dream job? A walk in the park. Muscular alien men vying for her attention? She wouldn't want it any other way! Falling in love with one? Easier said than done. Who knew being in the committee for the Planetary Arrangements would be so exhilarating.

His eyes are what drew me first. The intensity of them. They gave me the sense of déjà vu, yet I couldn't remember from where. I couldn't even remember my life before coming to The Compound. But my dreams help me coop with our captivity as I remember little by little what it was like before this. I wonder how we all ended up here…

He is, by far, the quietest man she has ever met. A story about the friendship and eventual relationship between Vegeta and Bulma, and a character study of Vegeta through the examination of his childhood.

What happened during those three years before the androids, between Vegeta and Bulma? Everyone would like to know, so here's my take on the story.

He won't be broken, and neither will she. They have that in common, at least. Bulma/Vegeta, AU drabble-fic.

"I went to find the woman in her paltry laboratory and there I found a child of my blood," Vegeta responded. "How can I ignore such an occurrence? I have grown since those years past, because I've been from planet to planet, searching for it. And if Earthling blood is the most powerful asset to Frieza's defeat, I do not care what all of Vegeta-sei thinks!"

[Reupload - see AN in chapter 1 for explanation] Vegeta has been staying on Earth for 3 months now, and he's getting tired of his training being interrupted by Bulma and Yamcha's fighting. He decides to take things into his own hands to get some peace and quiet, but what if he gets more than he bargained for? Story 1 of a trilogy.

Post-AYITL drabbles centered around Jess and Rory. Because the last four words were not the end.

Post AYITL. Rory and Jess and their revealing drinking game at the end of the events of "Fall". Every chapter is about another year of their relationship - watch a friendship grow into a family.

COMPLETE! SEQUEL POSTED! She's a genius involved in prolonged indentured servitude. He's a prince almost completely closed off from the rest of the universe. Both are trapped by their circumstances. Perhaps a magic ball can help them get out of it. The Vegeta/Bulma Aladdin AU that no one demanded. Rated T for swearing and eventual violence.

Bulma, the vain and beautiful genius...Vegeta, the proud and selfish prince...their affair took everyone by surprise-themselves included. In truth, was it all that surprising? What is unsurprising to all, however, is how hot, bright, and downright delicious the two are when they push past their stubborn facades and let their actions do the talking. (Vegebul 18 Lemon Love)

Vegeta puts his hand in some glue. A angry Bulma grabbed his hand without noticing the glue. When they try to pull apart, they just can't. Bulma and Vegeta are... Stuck.

After the disaster at Kyle's party, Rory goes to the diner to make sure Jess is okay. What she finds is an bruised and broken boyfriend. Note: This isn't a happy ending story but it is open ended.

It became a new normal that they would run into each other once or twice a year, drawn together at Luke and Lorelai's for family holidays and events. What does this new normal look like for Jess and Rory? Banter, late night conversations, old friends becoming new friends, hints of tension and accidental touches. Literati slow burn, scattered moments after S7.

A small collection of moments between Vegeta and Bulma, with a summer vibe.

Post-revival fic of Rory's life. Literati, of course!

Frieza has his eyes on a certain blue haired scientist. He orders a reluctant Vegeta to procure her. Everything changes when the two most stubborn people in the universe meet. What will become of them...?

He meant it when he told Luke it was long over. But as Rory slowly finds herself, Jess finds his feelings for her returning.

He doesn't know why or how, but ever so often he wakes up on a strange planet in the body of a blue haired woman. If that wasn't bad enough, while he's there she's taking his place, royally screwing up his life. He's going to find her, one day, and when he does, she's going to pay. /complete

A late night one-shot about Jess as a dad, raising his kid with help from family.

Vegeta can't seem to shake a certain blue haired lady from his thoughts and its taking a toll on him.

Vegeta needed activity. Bulma craved stillness. Still, he knew that he would cave to her. Because this was her home. Her planet. And as much as Bulma tried to make this his home as well, Vegeta knew he would always just be the evil Saiyan alien.

In a universe where Earth is an intergalactic trading partner, there is one apathetic soldier stationed on Earth whose scouter rings on a private line...and a woman's voice moans with pleasure. The story of how two strangers get more than they bargained for. Raunchy themes, sometimes rom, sometimes com, all the time foul. A less than noble get together.

Post-revival, and written immediately after my first viewing in 2016, the desperation for a literati endgame tangible. It was meant as a one-shot, but grew to five fairly independent chapters (in the correct order unlike on Ao3 ;)

This started out a minific of 300 words on tumblr named Oddment which I expanded for Literatifest, and it is part of that collection on Ao3. I worked in a little of the Canon from A Year In The Life, but the baby and its origin story are optional. Whatever works for you.

Written for an ask from Tumblr. "Pick-up lines only work when I'm drunk"

Post-Revival: Sometimes the most obvious answers are the ones right in front of us. (A series of connected one-shots on the important moments of Rory and Jess's ever evolving friendship with each other. NO Logan bashing present here)

Her name was Jane. He had given it to her because it reminded him of a time that was good. And it reminded him of a book tease and a conversation about a woman named Jane. Very AU Literati. Post-Finale. No revival.

Life is complicated enough when you're teetering on the verge of an apocalypse. Unbearably so when you start sleeping with the murderous alien prince who happens to be living in your house. Falling in love with said alien was a catastrophic mistake, even by Bulma's standards.

What if Rory stayed in touch with Jess throughout his transformation into the guy we see in Season 6? Starts at 4x21: Rory has enough money for a cab and so doesn't call Dean for a ride home. Jess shows up too early and, while waiting outside her dorm, has a chance to re-think his proposal. Season 5 rewrite.

Bulma is drowning in self-doubt following her break-up with Yamcha, but comfort comes from the strangest of places as her seemingly insensitive Saiyan house guest reminds her that she is worth much more than she believed herself to be. A three-year gap fic. One shot.

Hi everyone! So long since I posted here! This one is going to be in stages. I will take it slower than I usually do, because I don't have an outline for this one. I am writing it and letting it go where it takes me, though I do have a general idea. Post-AYITL. Rory is preparing for her baby and writing her book. How will both change her life forever... and who will be there?

His Birthday did make a little sense, after all. My version of how Jess and Rory started dating after the Dance Marathon.

It's a slow day in the diner the day after Rory both lost, and found, her bracelet.

"All the pain and the love I felt as a teenage girl floods back into my body, hot and electric... I just stare at him, unable to move forward with him in time, unable to reconcile the past with the present." Begins immediately after the events of Fall. Rory deals with her new role as a mother and discovers how past loves are still present in her life. Rory x Jess

It shouldn't be this hard. But when you're in love it certainly is. Love makes you do crazy things. You're irrational and impulsive and sometimes it doesn't work out no matter how much you want it to. Maybe someday they will get it right.

Rory's starting a new chapter in her life, but doesn't know what role Jess wants to play in it. Lit. Set directly after AYITL. Complete.

post-AYITL. Rory is pregnant and in need of help. Jess is the one who has always been there for her. Join the two of them on a journey down the road into the future that neither expected, but were probably fated to walk all along. (A series of snapshots through time, beginning the day after the revival ends).

Their paths are getting further apart, will they ever find a way to each other? One thing is for sure: if they are to get together again, there is major sorting out to do. Rory Gilmore has decided to find the right track. Future literati fic. Rated M. It follows the events after AYITL, so spoilers. COMPLETE.

*For those who need closure after those final four words* Now that the Gilmore Girls' lives have come full circle, it seems predestined that Rory follow in her mother's footsteps. But does she have the will to break away and write her own story? And will she do it alone or will Jess Mariano finally take his place beside her?

After Buu's defeat, Vegeta finds that his third shot at life just might be his best yet.

Set at Luke and Lorelai's wedding immediately after A Year in the Life. Timing had always been their problem. Literati. One-shot

Letting Jess leave was a big mistake. After "Bridesmaids Revisited", Rory breaks up with Logan -for good. While at Logan's to pack her things, she finds the postcard from Jess & goes to Philly. Can they stop running & admit their feelings for one another? What would happen if this was their chance? Will it work out? Different take on canon events. Will go into post-series.

He knows exactly what Rory needs. She needs someone who will be there when she wants it. Someone to scratch an itch. While he's probably always going to be a little in love with her, he knows he can live with that. For once, Jess is absolutely, without any doubt, positive he can give her what she needs.

A realistic glimpse of how assistant NYTimes editor Rory finds ways back to Stars Hollow and back to casual encounters with a former boyfriend through his annotated pages of Hemingway, Kerouac, Woolf, and Vonnegut. Written before the reboot, 4 seasons, 4 very long chapters, with healthy doses of coffee, whiskey, literature, and hidden half-smiles. Literati, Alt AYITL.

Rory got done with Yale, and went out into the world to be a journalist. Jess turned The Subsect into a success and then wrote another highly successful novel. Now she's going to interview him for the paper she works for, but here's the twist, in this story, Rory and Jess have never met before... until now.

Post-finale Literati (with JavaJunkie as well). Rory bumps into Jess after three years of not seeing him. Sparks fly, coffee spills. Will their timing finally be right? Rated T (or T-Plus) for language and talk of sex (nothing graphic, though).

A 4x12 rewrite. It was weird, almost too weird, but Rory couldn't just sit idly by and do nothing. At the very least, her ex-boyfriend freezing to death in the middle of town would be the kind of scandal Stars Hollow could do without. Rory Gilmore was going to save Jess Mariano whether he liked it or not. Literati.

Rory can't face home after sleeping with Dean, fighting with Lorelai, and touring Europe with her grandma. Running away suddenly looks very appealing, and she's headed towards the one person who always seems to understand her, even when Rory doesn't understand herself. Literati.

Jess uses a series of plagiarized lines to say the things he can't say. Short, in-series chapters leading up to a post-finale LIT fic.

VB AU - What happens when the person you hate the most is the only one who can save your life? Bulma and Vegeta are forced to form a bitter alliance in order to gather the dragon balls for Frieza's new game. But contenders don't always play by the rules, do they?

Bulma needs to find a way to distract her new house guest, and save her father's business meeting from turning into a disaster.

Rory looked down while he watched her, and read the dedication. 'Nothing felt possible until I met one bibliophilic, audiophilic girl. I love you. I love you. Only you. Always you. Dodger.' Literati Post-Series. Rory and Jess.

Bra had a nasty habit of annoying her father, of doing whatever she possibly could to anger him or get any sort of reaction out of him. It was kind of like a game between them. She would anger him one way or another and he would get her back by doing something much worse.

(AU) Nearly eighty and diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Bulma makes a wish upon the dragonballs that subsequently resets the DBZ timeline. Vegeta is the only one who is aware of the timeline shift. He finds himself dealing with the changes wrought by his wife's wish and is especially challenged by Bulma's mysterious absence. Full summary inside.

She doesn't know what will be worse to her mom – potentially sleeping with your boyfriend at a party or running off with him to New York City in the middle of the night.

Jess stops in to pick up something left in Stars Hollow. Rory stops to crash in her old bed for a night. Neither is expecting company, but they find it nonetheless.

What's three years, when you live with a stubborn alien warrior who's bent on becoming an unstoppable and indestructable power? First story so be nice...but brutal honesty is always accepted!

When the beautiful, slightly bored genius and the arrogant, slightly homicidal Saiyan Prince are trapped under the same roof for three years, who knows what will happen? Well, besides Goku, their son from the future, and Piccolo, of course. Complete.

BxV fanfic that takes place during the three years between Namek & the androids. Rated M for future lemon.

Oneshot. Bulma/Vegeta, Three Year Period. To be involved with the Saiyan Prince is to keep fighting, no matter what is at stake.

Vegeta is angry and frustrated after training, and doesn't know what to do with himself. Maybe Bulma can help him..?

Future Lit. Rory's trying to get a foot in the door in the journalism world, and she's dragging Jess along with her against his will. If past performance is any indicator, he wants to avoid any contact with her professional or otherwise. COMPLETE!

Stranded on an alien planet, Bulma and Gohan struggle to survive. Staying alive becomes increasingly difficult, especially after they've done such a good job pissing off a certain Saiyan Prince... AU BV Complete

The Saiyan Prince is given to one of Frieza's scientists as a means to test her latest invention. As far as punishments go, Vegeta decides he's had worse. AU B/V oneshot. /coverart by the amazing rutbisbe

Bulma's been having a rough past few weeks. Vegeta has a particularly rough night. They both find comfort in each other, unaware of the ripple effects of their actions... Mirai timeline, one shot.

Rory wakes up in the one bedroom she never thought she would. Jess's. Apparently things happen when there are one too many Martinis involved. Post-finale Literati.

A night, vodka and two ex lovers with a lot of unfinished business. Literati one-shot.

Rory and Jess meet during Luke and Lorelai's wedding. Set after series finale. Literati all the way, with some JJ

Jess and Rory don't get in a car crash that night. Instead, they go back to the diner and start talking about a book. The rest just rolls from there. Garcia Marquez and Neruda inspired two-parter. Complete.

Literati. She refused to be a cliché, falling for the seemingly dangerous guy when she was with the safer one. He refused to let the innocent girl of his friend to make him feel something unwanted. AU.

He’s sure she didn’t mean for her photo to mean anything; it was just different way of congratulating him for finishing that book. But she inadvertently started something big: she’s making him consider initiating a way to communicate.

He liked finding all the ways they fit each other. Literati, a bit of saucy fun set mid/late season 3.

Rory and Jess run into each other, two years after she graduates college. They've grown up, but have they moved on?

Literati. It wasn’t the cuddling. She loved that. It was the spooning. AU.

[Complete] “Is it worth it to stay?” She told him he needed to find out for himself. So he did. He stayed. [Literati] Set in Rory’s freshman year of Yale.

Literati. 'Beautiful. She called him beautiful.' -- The after effects as Jess feels it.
