Written for ink_stain's 75 Things to be Happy About. I combined the prompts "celebrating self-invented holidays" and "someone dependable, with dimples". They just screamed Dean Forester. <3
Where the Round Cakes Are GG, Rory/Dean, 542 words.
Aw, man! You can't make me weepy at work on a Monday. This bit:
"The other one." The most important one. The one marking the date of their third and final reunion, five years ago today
made me quite ridiculously happy, I don't mind telling you.
I only mention it because I've always thought the spelling was weird, and I wanted to contribute something because I like this story (fragment?) so much, but I think (I *think*) Taylor's name is spelled "Doose." This isn't so much criticism as an observation.
i do this ALL THE TIME. i have a sort of eidetic memory for english spelling (typos notwithstanding) but for some reason that one NEVER STICKS. stupid taylor.
I blame Taylor. (He's the only one of the Townies I never found charming. Or useful. Or interesting at all. How he wasn't slapped unconscious on a regular basis I'll never know.)
Let's focus on the important thing: this ficlet is still the best thing about Monday so far. Also: first comment! Woo.
can i just say i've never seen an ep of GG in my life, couldn't even tell you if it's on in this country but every time i see it pop up on my flist i'm all "hmmm rings a bell" and could never figure out why. walking to work the other morning i look up and actually look and the big insurance place on the corner opposite me all day is called forster and dean. it was a eureka! moment.
your words make me want to go read every ep recap available and download, download!
I'm just flailing with love right now! I love that they're all domestic, and back in Stars Hollow, and that they feel so right together, just like this.
I could write EPICS. About their domesticity, and the babies they have, and the cakes they eat, and Dean's cooking (a;ldfkg), and the little fixer-upper he buys for them and renovates with his own hands, and and and.
