"Separate" + "Again" + "Together" - Gilmore Girls + RPFS
Not quite under the wire, am I? 100, 100, 150. All follow "Initial".
Title: Separate
Author: Nia
Rating: G
Fandom: Gilmore Girls + RPFS
Pairing: Lauren Graham / Lorelai Gilmore
Summary: "You cannot take her with you."
Separate
Perhaps the most heartbreaking thing is she knows she belongs to you.
She says in bed: you have been other people, other times, but she is only ever herself.
You cannot take her with you. In her house are doors you never opened, and you never see anyone else who will remember, double-people like the two of you, and when you leave her you are not quite sure how. You only know you duck across her moonlit lawn and wake out of this alone, you stand in the middle of your bedroom wearing flowered heels you forgot to give back.

Title: Again
Author: Nia
Rating: PG
Fandom: Gilmore Girls + RPFS
Pairing: Lauren Graham / Lorelai Gilmore
Summary: "One day you will have to choose: stay here, or let go."
Again
You sit on her bed in your bra and panties, wearing her shoes, and she traces the undone strap across your instep. She rests her head between your thighs. She lets you hold both her hands.
One day you will have to choose: stay here, or let go.
Maybe you do want something of the life you know only vaguely: Lorelai was the daughter who ran away, and Lorelai's daughter is the daughter who ran away, and you are sickly happy to know. Sometimes it is the daughter who runs away.
But it is always a daughter who's left behind.

Title: Together
Author: Nia
Rating: PG
Fandom: Gilmore Girls + RPFS
Pairing: Lauren Graham / Lorelai Gilmore
Summary: "She is sure you will leave. She has hidden the sneakers you left last time, and you want intensely to run. You are more like her than you know."
Together
It used to be a game: go to her, make her say her name.
She is sure you will leave. She has hidden the sneakers you left last time, and you want intensely to run. You are more like her than you know.
Lorelai is hurting, it is like you are hurting: your eyes turn that same shade of blue. You pin her to the bed and try to make her understand that being left behind can't be helped. You are over her again on all fours, panting, and it is not a game. You think maybe this happened because you have a thing or two to teach her about being left behind.
But you keep her shoes under your bed.
When you duck onto her lawn, it is grass and gravel sharp beneath your feet, and it hurts to walk away.
You both know you should not be separate.
