Rory/Jess
After finishing Gilmore Girls (especially after Jess' amazing character growth in season six) I've come to the conclusion that I'm a Literati shipper and I'm convinced Rory and Jess should end up together after the show. So, as is usual for me when I discover something new that I really like, I'm on a Literati binge at the moment. I've got a new layout to prove it!
Of course endlessly watching and rewatching their scenes is involved in this. I also started reading fic. This post and of course their Ship Manifesto were a great place to start.
Fic recs so far:
- The Reply by Terra7: He had to remind himself that they were not the same. They’d broken each other too many times for that. Bleak, but evocative and with beautiful language.
- Raining Recipes On My Coat by Wonderlandleighleigh: Raincoats And Recipes... With A Twist Of Jess Mariano. A bit unbelievable, but very funny. Good characterizations.
- Ever After by Angeleyez: Future Lit. Late nights, warmed up food, a shoebox apartment. She wouldn’t have it any other way. Cute, but not too saccharine.
- Annabel Lee by Trappedinpast: He doesn’t feel like he can be the one to dilute her purity with alcohol. Leave that to her asshole fiancé. No, he breaks her in other ways. I'm not sure the characterizations are exactly right (for me, it's a bit too dark and bleak and I feel that Rory changed back to who she was at the core after her wake-up call from Jess in season six), but the language is so, so gorgeous.
I'm planning to read A Little Dramatic Irony soon, which seems to be the Rory/Jess fic to read. I loaded it on my Kindle and holy crap! It's 310 pages long! It's AU from 4x13 Nag Hammadi Is Where They Found the Gnostic Gospel. It's a shame it won't include Season Six, grown-up Jess, but I'm very curious nonetheless.
Video recs:
- I really like Somebody That I Used To Know, but also check out the rest of her vids.
- These two trailers for a season 8 with Rory/Jess are great fun and cleverly done.
It looks like Tumblr is still in love with them. Lots and lots of gorgeous gifs. I've reblogged some stuff, but not much. Well, what is much?
Anyone on LJ still fangirling over these two? Any recs? I'm looking for Future Fic in particular.
