The 'right thing' was what Luke Danes had always tried to do, even when it meant leaving his hometown for five long years. But maybe Luke's 'right thing' has been in Stars Hollow all along. What gets set in motion, by his simple act of finally coming home? (AU, pre-series)

In April 1984, Lorelai Gilmore discovers she is pregnant and has no idea how to tell her parents. She gets on a bus and arrives in the little town of Stars Hollow where she runs into a kind young man named Luke Danes, whose father runs the local hardware store. This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Complete. Starting with the waltz, we look at Luke and Lorelai in a slightly AU setting (I play fast and loose with the original plot, it's not Gilmore Girl Zombies). Lots of mushy smooching and stuff. Javajunkie and Literati. The first M-rated chapter (number 5, Their First Time) is up and can be found behind the M filter under Relationship Renaissance Gets Dirty

Kirk writes a poem about his holiday. Shout-out to Brittaden for the inspiration!

An AU conversation between Luke and Lorelai after the series finale, about their problems, leads to other conversations. Four chapters total.

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).

Follow Luke Danes and Lorelai Gilmore through their first year of acquaintance in the quaint little town of Stars Hollow. Month by month, their mutual love for Lorelai's daughter Rory causes the bond between the two of them to grow continually stronger. Starts with a story formerly posted as a one-shot, "Mother's Day Special."

Rory can't face home after sleeping with Dean, fighting with Lorelai, and touring Europe with her grandma. Running away suddenly looks very appealing, and she's headed towards the one person who always seems to understand her, even when Rory doesn't understand herself. Literati.

Jess is sent to live with his Uncle Luke around the same time that Lorelai and Rory move into their house in Stars Hollow. Getting to know each other from age eleven leads to an evolved relationship for Rory and Jess that was never romantic, but as the best friends reach age sixteen, what might change? (AU Season 1, Rory/Jess and Luke/Lorelai)

starts in Last Week Fights, This Week Tights; Rory decides not to go out on the set-up her grandma arranged and returns to Stars Hollow in time for Liz & TJ's wedding. Seeing Jess again is awkward and strange, but maybe this time they can rebuild their relationship in a healthier way than before. Literati, with a side of JavaJunkie.

Missing scene from Bon Voyage. Possibly the first one ever not to mention the necklace, and probably the first one to have a Christopher POV. Yes, Christopher. But please have faith! The original title, based off a prompt from Nancy the reviewer but apparently too long for here is: The Forever Banishment of Christopher the Slime and the Lessened Verbal Prowess of Emily the Elder.

Luke and Lorelai need to work through their past issues in order to rebuild their relationship. Picks up at their kiss in "Bon Voyage."

My take on Lorelai's and Rory's visits to the Founders' Festival through the years, using the Festival from Season 1's Star Crossed Lovers and Other Strangers as the framing device. Each chapter will feature a different year's Festival.

A funk brought her to the diner. Tequila landed her in his bed. Not remembering made her flee the scene. And the other woman made her realize what had been in front of her this whole time, that everyone had seen... except her. Starts at 3x13 JJ
