Two Gilmore Girl Recs

[hariboo.livejournal.com]

Fandom Category: Gilmore Girls
Pairing: Lorelai Gilmore/Luke Danes
Fic Title: Neon Sign
Author: ygrawn
Link: http://ygrawn.livejournal.com/20667.html
Rating/Warning(s): G
Genre: pre-series, friendship, slight UST
WIP?: nope
(11/20)

Why This Must Be Read: There was another fic I wanted to rec but the end is kinda dissapointing and unfilling so you get my back up. Short and sweet moment between Luke and Lorelai full of banter and layers of feeling between them. It also includes my second favourite thing about them as ship: the connection Luke has with Rory.



Fandom Category: Gilmore Girls
Pairing: Lorelai Gilmore/Luke Danes, some Rory Gilmore/Logan Huntzberger
Fic Title: Meet Me at the Chuppah
Author: smilinjuss4u
Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2141965/1/Meet_Me_at_the_Chuppah
Rating/Warning(s): PG-13
Genre: AU, romance, family, a reworking of season five.
WIP?: nope
(12/20)

Why This Must Be Read: What if Chris had stayed away as Rory asked him and that entire plotline with Emily hadn't occured? Well, here's a version of what could have happened. It starts with Luke going to Rory's dormroom ready to ask her a very important question. Lovely and sweet rewrite with a much happier ending. (Sidenote: one of the few fics I've read that I don't completely dismiss out of my dislike for Logan's charcter. This author actually makes me tolorate the guy! Success!)
