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.

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

"You are the great white hope of the Gilmore clan. You are their angel sent from up above. You are the daughter they didn't have." That's what Lorelai told Rory after the debacle in 2x1 Sadie, Sadie. But what if that wasn't true?

Dean gets mad at Rory for not going to his wedding. Rory gets mad at Dean for being mad at her for not going to his wedding to another woman. Luke mentions the bachelor's party.

Luke told Rory and Lorelai not to go to Dean's wedding. Years later, while dating Lorelai, the subject comes up.

In the spirit of total insanity, here's how Chris dies. One bit per season in this oneshot. I need a hobby.

This is set in season one. It begins with Rory's 16th birthday. Luke and Lorelai will get together much sooner. There will be obstacles to overcome and problems but also happy times as well. This will go through each season following the lives of Rory and Lorelai.

"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.

I promise I will make everything alright for you again if it's the last thing I do. Rated M just in case I decide to do something different later.

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

Revenge is a dish best served cold, but when that dish is hot, Rory's in trouble. Completely AU. Sophies

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.

Luke ponders slowly. What's going on inside his head during this time? Check out my story People of Conscience as well to find out how others fare. BOLD text is the character, ITALIC is the conscience.

This story is complete. Thanks for reading! A multi-chapter story starting after Sookie betrayed Luke's part in Rory's going away party. javajunkie

Oneshot sex scene between Jess and Rory, set roughly two years after the finale, when Rory works as a journalist in New York. Rated M for explicit content. Gilmore Girls isn't mine! Hope you enjoy it!

The Gilmores cope with Richard's loss. Will Rory make it to the funeral?

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?

It is what it is. Rory and Jess, post original series. Literati. (Written before and therefore does not follow AYITL canon.)

"I still taste you in the airport air, / every time I land back home." Rachel leaves. No one really faults her, but sometimes she looks back at what she left behind. A poem.

Tristan and Rory are together, but at the moment he's at military school and at home his Mary has to deal with dozens of problems. A Trory peppered with some LL and hints of Lane/Jess. Published in 2005 it's now, 2015, time to finish their story. [Revised and completed.]

So, how do we fix that whole S5 break-up? Here's my try at it. AU elements and LL ahoy! Sorry I posted a version without any dang formatting. Hopefully, this replaces it?

A short little story of what happened after Rory said I love you to Dean the first time.

A short shot of Rory and Jess starting at the end of Haunted Leg. Literati.

What if Jess Mariano wasn't Jess Mariano? At present-day Yale, Rory's got her eye on a boy from a family we've come to know well through the series. Introducing (sort of) Jess Huntzberger.

What will the Gilmore's do when history repeats it's self. But with a twist. Takes place starting from the episode "Presenting Lorelei Gilmore" I used actual parts of the script so that it falls in properly. I do not own Gilmore Girls nor the parts I used. All credit goes to the actual writers.
