Gilmore Girls

 

Boston Marriage by Jae W.
Paris/Rory - If this pairing makes you raise an eyebrow or two, read this story and be convinced. I mean, there's a Powerpoint presentation for chrissakes. How do you argue with that? Funny and clever - an utter *delight* to read.

A Study of Motherhood in Black and Gray by Anotherjuxtaposition
A study of Emily in black and white, actually. Read it for the perfect character study but also because the main plot point is Emily buying ice-cream, but it says *everything*.

Get It On the Table by Anna S.
Love Luke! I adore Luke and I love Lorelai, though I'd like to strangle her a lot of the time, and Anna captures that quality in her, her ability to be both obsessive and commitment-phobic. And Luke, though a force of nature in his own right, seems completely unable to do anything but be drawn along in her wake. Lovely fic.

Out of the Picture by Nestra
Lorelai gets drunk and gives Digger the finger pointing he deserves. Full of funny Lorelai-isms with a very Lorelia first person point of view narration.
Luke/Lorelai fans will thank their lucky stars for Nestra.

I Don't Know Why Sometimes I Get Frightened
by Shaye
Missing the show? This is the perfect fix. There's Lane being too much like her mother, Babette being the perfect neighbour and Kirk being - Kirk. Then there's Luke and Lorelai dating in a way you know only Luke and Lorelai could manage. And it's funny and cute and just beautiful.

To a Daydream Believer and a Homecoming Queen by Mosca
Mosca makes something weird so credible you wonder how they get away with the obverse. She also makes Dean more interesting than he is on the show and he's way too cute to waste.

Like a Second Chance by Nestra
Luke is there for Lorelai, and he's not sleeping, and after all this time, something's got to give. And it does. He finally takes the chance, and it's not pity and it's everything he imagined, and more. Beautiful, romantic and moving.

The Night the World Refused to End  by Bastet
There should be more Paris stories. There should be more like this one at least. A gorgeous re-telling of the Paris breakdown that is so very Paris.

Irrevocable Night by Laura Smith
Luke and Lorelai and a moment. Sigh. Gorgeous and painful

The King of Practical Wisdom by Anna S.
Hooray for truly loveable Gilmore Girls fic! This is a Luke expose, and it makes you love him even more. And it's an ending that is credible and so right. Excellent insights.

The Day you Come by CGB
In a fandom almost completely devoid of talent, this little vingette is a pearl.  It's Lorelai and Luke done perfectly, proving that less can be more.

Afterall by Gaityr
Not so long ago, I asked the question, "is there any good Gilmore Girls fanfic out there" and i was lead to Gaityr. This fic captures the characters as we know and love them and still manages to convey the problematics of the Luke/Lorelai relationship.

Hot Cross Buns by Mala
This is gorgeous writing and wonderfully true to the show and the characters. The writing is a delight to read, and who can resist Luke and Lorelia when they're written with such complexity. Be sure to email Mala and beg her for more.

Reality Check by Nestra
Oh, this is just lovely. Can I have a Luke of my own? Can I? Pretty please?

Frozen by Megan Reilly
New Year's Eve. Stars Hollow. Luke makes an effort, but things don't really change. Subtle, bittersweet and in character.
