Gilmore Girls fic recs!
So, I thought I'd list a few GG fics I've enjoyed over the last couple of months. All are complere unless otherwise marked. I typically only read angsty stuff, so that's what most of these are, but there are a few others thrown in. Here it goes...
BEWARE! I ship mostly Rory/Jess, tho you will find a handful of Rory/Tristan ones too!
One-Shots:
AS WHITE AS DRIVEN SNOW by Lipton Lee - T - Jess's car breaks down on a snowy night in Stars Hollow. Short and sweet. Just a little feel good fic.
Gently by Lipton Lee - T - Rory calls. Jess worries. Short, but powerful. Rory is in a bad relationship and reaches out to the only person who truly understands.
Coffee In Hell's Kitchem by Lipton Lee - K+ - A chance meeting in a coffee shop. Short and sweet, but I like it anyway. :)
Dying Flame by Smile1 - K+ - Trory! They were happy. Now, he overshowers her with gifts, hoping to buy happiness. But how can she be happy when they've never even had dinner together? Nothing is left but a burning candle: her hope; she is alone. Short, and while not exactly sweet, hopeful.
Globes and Maps by Angeleyez - T - Rory lives the dream. Jess waits by the phone.
Follow My Lead by Smile1 - T - Trory! - The game they play is a familiar one and they both play by the rules, until he gets fed up with the routine and dares to break them. They break each other's hearts while trying to get a step ahead. It isn't just a game anymore...
Ugly Duckling by Smile1 - K+ - Trory! - Angsty! - When Rory accompanies Emily to a wedding, she runs into Tristan DuGrey, whom tormented her throughout her years at Chilton. His reason: he knew how beautiful of a swan she really was. But a kiss won't make her forgive, or forget.
Breathing by Angeleyez - T - Lit. Future. “He has settled into their home of quiet solitude; he enjoys it.” But now the apartment seems too still. She cries, he works, and it’s something like loss.
The Exchanging of Favors by Meredith-Grey - T - Rory’s loss of innocence takes a more appropriate turn than it’s season four curtain call. Jess owns up to his actions in a humorous confrontation with Luke. Season three Lit.
Longer Fics
Ruined In The Rain by Francesca Jones - T - A 26 year old jilted bride, Rory finally decides to run and start a new life with Jess, but not in the way that he'd had in mind when they were kids. Future fic.
The Orange Soda Will Get You Every Time by Lipton Lee - T - Jess and Rory reconnect under some interesting circumstances. It's eight years down the road and Jess has the cutest little boy who Rory finds asorable. But where, and who, is the mother?
Raining Recipes on My Coat by Lipton Lee - T - Raincoats And Recipes... with a twist of Jess Mariano. Dean's stare turned into a glower. "What are you doing here?" Jess weighed the options of his reply, and then nodded as he decided on what to say. "Having sex." - This fic is hilarious! It's slightly on the fluffy side, but well worth it for the giggles! Comes with 8 fairly short chapters.
TORN by Smile1 - T - TRORY! - Rory and Tristan are friends, but he is forced to break her trust and ruin their friendship when his friends want him to prove himself as a true 'king'. He'll take something precious, her pride. Will he be able to fix things? Slightly 'high school', but I love it none-the-less!
The Slowest Form by AngelEyez - T - “Is it worth it to stay?” She told him he needed find out for himself. So he did. He stayed. Set in Rory’s freshman year of Yale. Literati.
Because Nature Favors Disorder by Molly Larch - T - Literati. He thought apologizing was supposed to make things easier. Neither one of them expected this. Complete. This story does have a sequel, however it lays unfinished and abandoned, throwing this 'happy ending' out the window. So, I would not necessarily suggest reading the sequel, unless you're prepared for an abandoned, unresolved WIP.
Can't Stay Away by Jmarit17 - M - TRORY. Extensive AU: Tristan doesn’t go to Chilton. He is 21, and he is in a gang in Hartford. A very dangerous and well known gang. Rory is turning 18 and is starting her senior year. My fic starts in October. The summary does NOT do this fic justice. It is quite simply, amazing. I strongly urge you to check this one out, even though it's Trory, Jess plays a small role as one of Rory's best friends, and is NOT portrayed as a 'bad guy'. However, it is an irregularly updated WIP.
Over Time by Angeleyez - T - Jess and Rory were together until a car accident took Jess away from her. He’s in a coma and she’s trying to move on with her life. Five years later, Rory’s finally moving on with someone else when she gets word that Jess is awake.
Torn by Smile1 - TRORY Rory and Tristan are friends, but he is forced to break her trust and ruin their friendship when his friends want him to prove himself as a true 'king'. He'll take something precious, her pride. Will he be able to fix things?
Sex Or Love by Bru Cardoso - M - AU. Rory is a successful businesswoman in her mid-twenties with no time - or skill - for relationships. Jess is a good looking guy who is willing to spend a night pleasing a woman as long as she pays for it. What happens when they meet? BEST LIT EVER. I'm serious.
Pulse by Meredith-Grey - M - He was the force that shook her, kept her human. Through her chest, veins, cheeks, lips. She did always live to please. Future Fic. Literati. WIP
The Storm Before the Calm by Drive - M - TRORY Rory and Tristan. Another way their story could have gone. Future fic, slightly AU, very M.
