YCBAH: Jess and Rory haven't spoken since the run-in at Truncheon two years ago. He hasn't heard from her, not a word, since she left on Obama's campaign trail. But when she shows up in the middle of a random Tuesday two years later, what could she want from him this time? (title from Clash song)

What if Rory called the diner when she got stuck in the bar with a bunch of drunks? What if Jess was there to answer that call? Then, at Yale, when Jess asked Rory to go away with him, what if everything changed? (AU starting in 4.21 Last Week Fights, This Week Tights)

"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]

After seventeen years of crappy birthdays, Jess wasn't expecting much. Actually, he wasn't expecting anything. So when he wakes up to find Luke remembers what day it is, Jess freaks out. Thankfully Rory is there to make him realize birthdays aren't the worst things in the world. One-Shot

Starts with Rory's first day on the campaign trail as she tries to figure out adulthood. Eventual Literati. Absolutely nothing to do with AYITL

"Life is all about timing...the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable...attainable. Have the patience, wait it out. It's all about timing." -Stacey Charter

A collection of largely Luke-centric JavaJunkie one shots. Chapter 2: "Lorelai is debating the merits of either the Fuji apples or the Granny Smith in the produce section of a suburban Hartford grocery store when a long-forgotten voice evaporates the mental pro/con list that's growing in her head."

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.

Lorelai and Jess have never really gotten along. Everyone knows this. It's why they go out of their way to avoid each other. But the holidays are coming up and they're practically family so maybe it's time to try to be at least civil toward one another. Takes place a couple weeks before the revival begins with "Winter".

An alternate version to what happens at the end of Summer continued to the final four words.

Post-series Literati. T rating subject to change. "Take a breath," he intoned. His heart clenched again. He heard the deep, unsteady, broken breath she took, and the watery exhale, too. "Are you alright?" ... "No, I'm … I'm not." Rory has lost her way again.

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.

I got a little bored and have currently become obsessed with Jess and Rory's early story.

So come on, come on we can be saved, the lives we live, the wars we wage... Rated for future themes.

Literati. Set in present day, eight and a half years after the Truncheon kiss, Rory and Jess are unexpectedly reunited in Stars Hollow after Rory impulsively sends Jess an invitation to her wedding. When the wedding is suddenly postponed and Rory moves to New York, they are left with eight and a half years of suppressed feelings and only one outlet: each-other. COMPLETE.

A short one-shot set in a used bookstore, inspired by the definition of the word 'vellichor'. It instantly brought to mind Rory and Jess :) [COMPLETE]

A recent Yale graduate, Rory is living in Stamford with a great job and apartment. Unfortunately being the Heir Apparent the biggest crime family on the East Coast tends to ruin things. Enter Jess Mariano, ex-Special Forces and newly hired 'bodyguard' (read: babysitter as far as he's concerned) to the princess of the Gilmore family. This job should be a piece of cake, right?

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?

"She felt the kisses spark against the pulse in her throat and wondered if this was hypothermia: the cold sending you to sleep but your skin burning as the blood rushed." Jess and Rory finally have an hour to themselves at the Winter Carnival. - Moments at the margins of lit. scenes in seasons 2 and 3, in no particular order.

Set in season 3. Literati explores new terrority one night in his car. One-shot.

One-Shot. Post-series. All Rory wants to do is make it home for Christmas. When that seems impossible and all hope of a happy holiday seems lost, a familiar face appears to help make it all better. (5th in the multi-fandom Christmas Miracle series)

Fic about Jess looking after Annie. Gilmore Girls isn't mine! Hope you like it!

Oneshot of Rory and her daughter in the future. A little Literati too. Gilmore Girls isn't mine!

A little future fic about Rory and her daughter. A little Lit too! Gilmore Girls isn't mine.

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.

Rory finds herself in Philadelphia on the campaign trail. She knows Jess is close, but doesn't know what to do about it. Will be Literati eventually

Set after the conclusion of the show. Jess and Rory catch up while she is in Philadelphia following Obama's presidential campaign trail. One-shot. Rated M for sexual themes. Reviews always make writers happy ;) [COMPLETE]

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).

How do you stop feeling responsible for something that was not your fault?

Sometimes you'll see two hands pressed hard together, thumbs intertwined, clenching firmly. And it's hard to tell if they're bound in a love hold or if they're arm wrestling. And what tells one from the other is... faith? CHAPTER 24.

When Jamie is promoted, will his relationship with his partner change? Will Eddie and Jamie be more than friends? Will they even stay friends? I suck at summaries, so please read then judge.

"He doesn't have a lot of people, you know, from his past." She turned to look at Luke, "It might be nice for you to reach out." Rory nodded slowly and walked back to her mother.

Post finale literati because Jess needs to know that Rory did fix everything in the end.

Vignettes of Luke and Lorelai's wedding. "What's going on? I can't remember anything. Why am I wearing a pink feather boa?" Lots of Literati, obviously a little Java Junkie. Completed.

FutureFic. Rory's life is not quite going as planned. The realization that she may have never really gotten over one Jess Mariano isn't helping. Tipsy phone calls to ex-lovers generally don't help either, but when did that ever stop anyone?

The story is mostly about Jamie and Eddie and their lives as partners and friends which then involves into the being a couple and no longer partners. It starts out as them being friends, but after they are hurt and Nicky gets into trouble it leads them to realize how they truly feel about each other. It follows their life as they grow closer together. Please Read and Review!

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.

Jamie and Eddie go out drinking after a friday shift and Jamie gives her his spare NYPD hoodie.

A series of one-shots following Rory and Jess through the many years of their relationship. Literati AU.

Jess & Rory, Luke & Lorelai talk names. Set present day.

A look at the events that helped cement the friendship between Jamie and JC. Jamie/OC. Another story in the 'One of Our Own' universe.

What if the boyfriend boxes made an appearance when Rory was engaged? General banter-ful romp through a free-for-all conversation between Lorelai, Rory, Sookie, Lane, and Jess. Definitely Literati. Post series one-shot.

When Rory and Jess decided to have a baby, they figured it'd be easy. Their entire lives had been built on accidental pregnancies, surely it happening on purpose would be a breeze. Not so much. Luckily they were nothing if not hard workers. Literati, one of my series of one-shots.

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.

Harvard Law student Jamie Reagan and his brother, NYPD Detective Joe Reagan, communicate over the course of one very important year.

In 6 Years she never told him she loved him, when she finally does he finds his place and his home.

Rory has graduated from Yale and without Logan in the picture, she has more time for Jess. But for how long? A sequel to A Walk Out In The Cold, this story takes place following the end of the series.

An adult Jess is going to be the best man at his uncle's wedding to Lorelai. That would be fine, if Rory wasn't Lorelai's maid of honor. And that would be fine, too, if he hadn't been hung up on her since he was eighteen. Literati.

Starts in 2.19 Teach Me Tonight. When the car crash happens differently, with wholly different consequences, it causes Rory & Jess to make different choices in their relationships and changes how they both move forward. It also alters things for Luke & Lorelai too. Literati.

Oneshot. Lorelai stops in the diner to grab some doughnuts for the next morning and finds Luke drunk and Jess to blame. Or is he to blame? Set sometime during season 3 with Rory and Jess dating

In the episode "Drawing Dead," Jamie commented that Edie drives "like my brother when he was fourteen." Since Joe was reportedly a careful driver, Jamie must have been talking about Danny. But why would four-year-old Jamie know how his fourteen-year old brother drove?

"We don't deserve her," the Head Boy answered thoughtfully. "None of us do. Not even me. Not because she's perfect. She's not. Sometimes I think she's even more disastrously flawed than the rest of us combined. And not because she's beautiful, even though she is. Certainly not for being lovely because she never was.We don't deserve her because she's so much more than we'll ever be"

Rory's pregnant, Jess is starting to get overprotective and her insane family and home town are along for the ride. Future Literati fanfic.

Jess is sick, Luke is awkward, Lorelai saves the day. Mostly about Luke and Jess, but there's some JavaJunkie and Literati to come. Rated for language I just can't write Jess without swearing . Read and Review and I'll love you forever! **UPDATED**

A wedding day isn't complete without a letter from an old friend. Especially when that letter is red-hot, in a manner of speaking. Lane gets her revenge, and Rory gets a husband.

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.

Literati. Set during "Nag Hammadi is Where They Found the Gnostic Gospels." Jess has stunned Rory with his declaration of love, but things go differently this time around.

"Then why won't you go out with me?" James asks quietly, looking down at me with blazing eyes. There are many reasons why I won't go out with him. 1 He's a selfish git. 2 He's not my type and 3..."You would hurt me."

For once there were no external obstacles standing between them. The internal ones, however, were there, deeply settled. A story of bringing them down. Lit attempt at post-finale friendship.

A Family Matter... with a twist. Because of the snow, Luke doesn't check on the car, and Jess ends up walking back to Stars Hollow... with some unexpected consequences. Literati.

NO romance or even friendship; Just a silly, little one-shot about two people who get to know each other a little better despite their difference in character

On her way back to Stars Hollow between assignments, Rory reads a book that reminds her of her mother's relationship with Luke and has her rethinking her relationship with Jess. Literati. One-shot.

Jess has a question. Just a little Future Lit oneshot, which for something so short contains a ridiculous amount of fluff.

Lorelai doesn't think her daughter is happy so she asks for his help. But it's been years since they've last seen each other and she's changed. Can he do anything or is it too late?

Just hearing him on the phone unsettled Lorelai, so she can’t imagine how Rory handled it in person. Or maybe Rory was just proud that Jess morphed into the potential man she saw in him years ago.

Rory gets drunk at Madelaine's birthday party, somewhere after "One's got class and the other one dyes" and ends up telling Jess how she feels. But the town is small and her voice carries. So much for stealth. One-shot Lit, like espresso. M for languag

Or The Making of a fluff fic. Lit, Future fic, one-shot. "We have a culinary emergency." "You in the kitchen is the definition of a culinary emergency". Rated K for unbearable kuteness. Drop by and tell me what you thought.

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

Literati Oneshot. 'I love you Jess.' It’s a chant, a Hail Mary, a prayer rolling off of her lips like melted cherry ice. Nothing earthshattering. Read and review.

It's not a proposal, or so he says. A night and day in the life of Rory Gilmore and Jess Mariano. Literati fluff futurefic.

This was what always happened. He walked away and she watched him go. She can’t even blame him for it this time though. Maybe she’s the one who needs to break the cycle. Alternate Scene for Literati Lovers. 6x08 oneshot

Maybe fate doesn't exist and there is no destiny, but Rory's not quite ready to believe that. Everything up to Episode 4x04 Chicken or Beef happened. After that, their world becomes mine. And my world is a LIT world. COMPLETE

A scene in a waiting room. Future. LIT

Jess knows he has to leave. He needs to face the horrors of his past. He needs to figure out his life, and how to fix all the mistakes he's made. Will the journey lead him back to her? Literati. COMPLETE

Literati. “I take it you're ok with... this?” He whispers in between kisses. She smiles. Ok? Better than ok.

Literati. He thought apologizing was supposed to make things easier. Neither one of them expected this. Complete.

Jess hopped in his car and left Rory in the dust in Star’s Hollow, yet again. But we can’t let it end there, can we? Literati postNag Hammadi
