*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?

What happens after "A Year In The Life" - The story continues as Rory learns to find herself, Lorelei learns to accept, and an old friend returns.

What goes up must come down eventually. Or an AU where maybe something more happened in Philadelphia than we were lead to believe, and 17 years later Rory must deal with the repercussions. Future Lit. Hints at Java Junkie.
