Summary
Jess Mariano doesn’t belong at Chilton.
He knows it. The teachers know it. The fucking walls probably whisper it at night.
But here he is: fresh out of New York, bruised and restless, shoved into a blazer and handed a schedule full of AP classes he never asked for. Liz is playing house again, his new stepdad is trying to buy his affection with Audi keys and expensive bookbags, and Jess is doing his best not to burn the whole thing down.
When he left Stars Hollow, he didn’t expect to see her again.
Rory Gilmore. The girl whose car he crashed. Whose wrist he broke. Along with his uncle’s trust.
Now they’re classmates.
And Jess is starting to think fate doesn’t hate him. It just wants to watch him suffer.

Summary
(summary and tags contain SPOILERS for earlier works in the series!)
Shane and Ilya are champions. They are partners, and they’re in it for life. And people are starting to notice.
After being traumatically outed two years ago, Shane and Ilya's relationship and their lives have been fundamentally changed, and most days, Shane thinks that's a good thing. But sometimes, the pressure of being out, and the endless online speculation about #hollanov, and rumors running rampant through the NHL, and a new generation of rookies looking up to them, and the knowledge that everyone is relying on Shane Hollander to be perfect at all times—sometimes it's a lot.
But Shane's dealing with it. Ilya seems happier than he's ever been, and Shane just needs to get his act together to support his husband. He can do that. He needs to, and he will, if he doesn't crack under the pressure first.
They've got a second Stanley Cup to win, after all.

Summary
Picking up immediately after the final scene of A Year in the Life, Rory finds herself pregnant with Logan's child and searching for solid ground, all while circling back to the one constant she's never been able to shake: Jess, the love she never could truly let go of.
Told across seven years in a traditional seven-season style, this is the story of navigating motherhood, co-parenting with Logan, and finding each other again when everything else is falling apart. But it's also about the patterns we inherit and whether two people can finally break toxic cycles, learning to let each other in and trusting that this time might actually be different.

Summary
Set during Season 2’s Teach Me Tonight, this AU reimagines a key moment in Rory Gilmore’s life—the night she was meant to be tutoring Jess Mariano, the night that was supposed to end in a car accident.
Only… it doesn’t.
No crash. No hospital. Just a spring night that stretches longer than it should, a car ride that leads somewhere unexpected, and a quiet rebellion that begins to unfold.
Rory always thought she knew who she was: the responsible one, the good girl, the one who followed the plan. But as her connection with Jess deepens in ways she can’t quite name—or control—she starts to question the version of herself that Stars Hollow expects her to be.
Small choices that change everything, the ache of first desire, and the electric chaos of realizing that maybe being "good" was never the whole story.
