twit!fic is the only way to make the Veronica Mars/Gilmore Girls x-over of my heart come into being
So, um, I was having kind of a shitty day yesterday, and then this happened, "psuedo_catalyst:Just thought--I wanna go read that Gilmore Girls/Veronica Mars x-over were Lorelai and Kieth date and Rory and Veronica become step-sisters, went to look for it, & realized that that was not a thing that actually existed outside of my head /0\
Luckily, sansets is awesome, and said, "BUT IT IS A THING I WOULD TOTALLY READ, OMG. *________*"
(this is mostly unedited chatfic, though I've omitted some of the mutual flail.)
psuedo_catalyst:Right? Just because it doesn't exist doesn't mean it shouldn't. I'm pretty sure that at first they wouldn't get along, which would be hijincks-filled & glorious. & then of course later they're ~sisters~ and other heartwarming nonsense (I still want to read it).
sansets: IT WOULD BE SO HEARTWARMING, OMG. (Also, I kinda want to see Veronica and Paris interact SO MUCH.)
psuedo_catalyst:OH GOD. Paris would MEET HER MATCH (hoshit, is it bad that as soon as I typed that I had a flash of 'omg Veronica/Paris pls!'--hey it's canon that Veronica already has a weakness for spoiled but neglected rich kids with attitude problems, right?)
sansets: OH MAN - I USUALLY 'SHIP RORY/PARIS, BUT FOR THIS FIC I COULD MAKE AN EXCPETION! *___________*
psuedo_catalyst: And then at some point they, like, fight, or something, right? And Rory has never seen Veronica looking sad--angry, yes, but sad is something else--and so she storms over to Paris in class the next day and tells Paris not to MESS with her SISTER, and Paris just looks kind of cowed, instead of defiant, and asks Rory what Veronica is even DOING with her, bcs Veronica is super-kickass-awesome & FBI-bound, and Paris is just Paris, uptight and neurotic and not very nice, she knows this.
sansets: I AM CHINHANDING SO HARD OVER HERE, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOOOOOOOOOOOW. OH MY DARLING MESSED UP GIRLS! (And hey, there's nothing stopping me from imagining Rory/Paris/Veronica, RIGHT?)
psuedo_catalyst: Nothing at ALL my god--now I kind of want it to be an occasional threesome where Paris and Veronica end up all solid and dependable and when Rory's relationships implode she kind of ...fals into bed with them? But it takes her a long time to realize they want her for keeps, even longer to realize she wants that for herself, too.
sansets: UGH, YES THIS. Because Rory Gilmore has SHIT taste in romantic partners and NEVER RECOGNIZED A GOOD THING EVER. So she would keep being all "oh, give me comfort, I am SAD" and Paris and Veronica would sadface behind her back! ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS KEEP HER WITH THEM IN THEIR POCKETS, IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK?
psuedo_catalyst: EXACTLY--she's great at mediating when Veronica and Paris are messed up, but she's totally blind to her own place, despite the fact that, as Veronica will say later, if anyone they didn't want to be a part of their relationship, even if they were helpful, was nosy and meddling, she would have told them to butt right out, but it's RORY, and she was always supposed to be ~theirs!
sansets: (Also the 3some works MUCH BETTER for their respective careers. Can you IMAGINE an FBI agent, a surgeon & a war journalist attempting to make stable relationships with people who AREN'T also in crazed professions? IT'S WHY RORY'S RELATIONSHIPS ARE ALL DOOMED TO FAILURE, EVEN OVER AND ABOVE HER SHIT TASTE!)
psuedo_catalyst: And after some of her breakups, Rory goes over to their place and drinks shitty wine and has too much ice cream and tells them they're so lucky, she'd do anything to have what they have, and Paris grinds her teeth and Veronica says, "Ah, but you can," in this crazy over-the-top voice, and Rory just thinks it's another come-to-bed-with-us, which it is, but also so much more than that!
sansets: And Rory STILL DOESN'T GET IT, EVEN AFTER THE SEX. It's not until she's getting ready to get on the damn plane that it occurs to her that OH WAIT, NEITHER VERONICA NOR PARIS IS VERY SUBTLE AND THEY PRACTICALLY JUST ASKED HER TO MARRY THEM so they both get these wacky rambling oh SO Rory voice mails telling them YES, YES SHE'LL HAVE THEM IF THEY WANT HER
psuedo_catalyst: (HEARTS IN MY EYES) She's already checked in by the gate, and Veronica is probably already unreachable on assignment somewhere and Rory's got a career-making story resting on this trip--it's a stupid, stupid thing to do--but she's still her mother's daughter, so she picks up her bag and she bolts for the exit.
sansets: As an aside, my brain is a WRONG place but is it TOO wrong that I'm thinking about a matching Luke/Lorelai/Keith threesome? I JUST KEEP THINKING ABOUT THEIR THOUGHTS ABOUT THEIR WACKY DAUGHTERS' HIJINKS AND IT'S TOO PRECIOUS FOR WORDS.
psuedo_catalyst: LOL IDEK, DUDE. I can kind of see Lorelai in an open relationship w/ both of them, but I don't see those two really getting along, never mind getting it on...
sansets: *nods* I could buy that - they are BOTH pretty straight. Mostly I want the commerserating eye-rolling over the Gilmores. :D
psuedo_catalyst: GOD, I want that, too--the girls are finally all home, and Luke and Kieth are really only in a sort of truce-state, but Kieth is getting drowned in estrogen, so he invites Luke over to watch the game--my mind has decided this is Thanksgiving btw.
sansets: YOUR BRAIN IS A GREAT PLACE. They hide in the kitchen at the diner, watching football in the background while making dinner Neither of them really thinks about how domestic it is, they just need to get AWAY for some dude time! and then the truce becomes actualfax FRIENDSHIP and they go to games and fish together and shit. :D
psuedo_catalyst: Because they need to do all the cooking or the house will go up in flames! Yes! They're taking on both of the traditional Thanksgiving activities, which leaves the girls plenty of time to get up to ~mischief~ (OH WOW YES, fishing together, my heart. Lorelai is all, "I'm not sure I like the idea of my guys being in cahoots,")
sansets: CAN VERONICA AND LORELEI ORGANIZE A PAINTBALL MATCH OR SOMETHING WACKY LIKE THAT? It would be an AMAZING accompanyment.
psuedo_catalyst: Um, YES??? How could anyone ever say no to that? I bet they get most of the kids in town involved, it becomes and ~incident~ which comes up in a town meeting! It's a good thing they've got Sherriff Mars on their side! Someone cries nepotism, but they ignore it
and then also
psuedo_catalyst: And now I want holiday dinners where Rory brings her girlfriends to Richard and Emily's and Emily just assumes it's, you know, vernacular--'my girlfriends' for 'my best friends' and then she sees various configurations of them kissing in corners and figures there us ~cheating~ going on and she MUST SAVE RORY
sansets: *DIES* YES, THIS, OMG. And then after they actually explain what is going on (RORY NEVER WANTS TO RELIVE THAT CONVO AGAIN IT WAS BAD ENOUGH WITH HER MOTHER, OMG) Emily bursts into one of her stories about a fellow DAR member and they all brace for SOMETHING deeply disapproving and then it turns into a secret blessing and winking. Rory and Paris nearly fall over with shock and then there's surprise furniture delivery and presents to Paris and V's house GIVING A RELATIONSHIP A BLESSING, EMILY GILMORE STYLE. :D
psuedo_catalyst: misunderstandings where Emily thinks that ONE OF THEM must be cheating on Rory, otherwise why would they be hiding things from her? And Lorelai is all, 'They didn't think you'd approve, mom," and Emily reallizes she could lose Rory as easily as she almost lost Loerlai so many times, and HENCE the blessing-giving!
sansets: *__________* And she's a LITTLE taken aback by the Mars family, but being an FBI agent is TOTALLY respectable in this day and age and Paris's family is TOTALLY the right breeding anyway, so she focuses on trying to become open minded!
psuedo_catalyst: Yes! They meet her class-standards, which is more than she can really say for most of Lorelai's relationships, Emily will make the best of it!
...all that and I never even got to the logical conclusion where Lorelai is in an open but committed relationship with both Keith and Luke and Luke and Kieth are eventually buds, and they all do holidays together, probably they end up doing some holidays with the three of them, Rory, Paris and Veronica and also Jess? Which would be all the awesome, no?
