This is a post revival story, please do not read if you have not seen the Revival Episodes. This is what I wish would happen. The early chapters are short but it gets better. I hope you enjoy! Gilmore Girls and all of their characters are the sole property of Amy Sherman Palladino and I have no rights to them.

*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 Carol's death, Daryl makes a desperate wish to save her. Suddenly, he finds himself back in the quarry, staring as she and her daughter cower in the shadow of her husband. With all of his memories of the future intact, can Daryl change life as he knows it? And just how will this journey change him? M for later chapters. Caryl.

Pre first-half S3 finale. "Some people see scars, & it is wounding they remember. To me they are proof of the fact that there is healing." The lives they used to live were gone. But how much of who they used to be had been swept away too? A story of two damaged souls discovering going forwards means going back & facing the things that once held you. Rated for language/adult themes.
