A selection of moments between Alex and Michael as teenagers, leading up to Alex leaving for war.

If the choice is fly or fall, you spread your wings.

He just wishes someone would call him Stuart for a change.

Rory had long rationalized her relationship with Jess down to a combination of misdirected friendship and teenage lust, and she was sure he felt the same way. So when he suddenly goes silent after she sends him her latest chapter, she's not expecting what she finds when she tracks him down. And now nothing will ever be the same. A prelude to "Daddy Shark."

Jess briefly moves back to Stars Hollow after AYITL when Luke gets injured in a car accident and needs help with the diner. Rory and Jess slowly find their way back to each other. Each chapter shows the slow progression of their inevitable relationship.

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.

Sometime after his mothers wedding, Jess circles around some dark thoughts and can't seem to get away. This is Jess hitting rock bottom. And how his Uncle helps him through it.

Jess and Rory begin their relationship after Jess' move to Stars Hollow. But shortly after their relationship begins, they find that sustaining it is the real test. With disapproval from family, friends, and the town, will Jess and Rory decide that their relationship is too much of a weight to carry? For The Love Of Howl sequel

A collection of smutty one-shots. L/L.

The phone rings in her hand almost immediately and when she answers, Jess is laughing on the other end. "Gilmore, are you using Ginsberg as a booty call?" "I found my copy of Howl today," she says in lieu of an answer. Rory/Jess, set five years after S7, not AYITL compliant. [cross-posted from AO3]

"Why don't you just go off with John, Jack, whatever his name is?" Rory opened her mouth to tell Logan that was never her plan, but the words wouldn't come. Meeting his wild eyes, she stood her ground and called his bluff. "You know, what, Logan? That is the first intelligent thing you've said tonight." [AU beginning in 6.8 Let Me Hear Your Balalaikas Ringing Out]

Rory needs help figuring out who she is. Jess is there to help. Starts 6.08. Lit (ON INDEFINITE HIATUS)

The sound of gunshots is never louder than when you fear for your or your partner's life. OA and Maggie are called to a domestic violence hostage situation and things go well...until they don't. OA learns things aren't always what they seem.

This is a short missing scene/expansion from 1x14 Exposed. Based on what OA promises Maggie in the hospital as her world is falling apart and on their friendship.

Luke tries his hand at playing matchmaker, and Rory realizes she's been lying to herself for months.

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.

Just when Rory starts adjusting to her big news, life throws her for another loop. As she dives into a new project, she begins to reconnect with an old friend, and she gradually starts to wonder: Can you ever move forward by going back? Post-AYITL. Rory/Jess. Slow burn. Side plots for Lorelai/Emily, Paris, and Lane. A bit of Logan too.

After Jess told Rory he loved her, he turned and drove away, leaving her to wonder what she was supposed to do next. That decision only gets tougher when suddenly Jess is back, but not entirely himself, or maybe he's more like the real Jess than he's ever been... Literati

Post Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. This was not what Rory had envisioned her life to be at thirty-three - living at home, and pregnant without the father of her unborn child by her side.

Rory's life after the revival. At Luke and Lorelai's wedding, Jess offers Rory comfort, a pep talk, and a job. Rory accepts.

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.

Sorta AU post-finale Gilmore Girls. Lorelai has big news to share with her daughter and it's only natural her husband's nephew knows too right? Its so much more than just this summary. Lit fic, set in 2015.

Having exchanged letters for some months, Rory and Jess reconnect in Stars Hollow for Doula's birthday party. A follow-up from The Key is in the Timing but should stand alone. Literati.

December 24, 2015, 12:01 a.m. Happy Birthday, Dodger. Coming home for Christmas? - R It's the same message every year, delivered at 1 minute past midnight, without fail. Despite all the promises to keep in touch and visit, it's been 8 years since they've seen one another. This year changes that. Will life finally get out of the way and make room for love?

A Rory and Jess story, set a year after the series finale. Older and wiser, can they get the second chance they both so desperately want?

Holiday story. Luke and Jess put up the Gilmore Girls' lights, or at least they try to. Lit. JavaJunkie RXJ LXL

It always comes down to choice. NOTE: angst, but with a happy ending.

My take on what happened in Kirill's 'one month off'. Kirill takes a trip to Paris and meets a girl he doesn't forget. What he doesn't count on is to get embroiled further into Gretkov's mess, and that Jason Bourne is still alive... Kirill is charming. Eventual smut ensues. Please read and review :)

Logan cheats, Rory leaves, and the fallout sets a ripple effect into motion. None of their lives will ever be the same. Post 6x18. Literati, JavaJunkie, Paris/Tristan and Logan/Other. Sorry NO Rogan.

Jess and Rory haven't seen each other in 3 years since she told him she was in love with Logan. Now, he is a successful writer and she is a journalist for the New York Times. Their paths cross ways when she is assigned to cover his book signing, and their chemistry and instant connection once again is undeniable. *Literati*

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 thing can only be broken so many times before you have to stop trying to put it back together. For Jess and Rory, that point had long since past. But sometimes, if you're very lucky, fate hands you a second chance on a silver platter... Literati
