Summary
A garden shed, a maid’s costume, a fairytale of a single mom and her singular daughter raised like a couple of baby swans amongst the ducklings- that's the story Lorelai often tells with stars in her eyes. This time to a tired Luke trying to get through the morning rush at the diner.
Or
Reframing trauma, the power of choice, and the glory of the found family that melted Luke Danes' heart like butter on a hot pancake.

Summary
Life is chaotic in the Gilmore-Danes-Mariano family. Jess is in middle school, which is never a fun time for anyone. But it's not the only struggle he has. It's tough being in a blended family where no one else shares your name and no one quite looks like you. Where everyone adores your siblings more than you.

Summary
So, even though Luke didn’t admit that to himself, he might’ve been trying to win her back. Just a little bit.
OR
My version of everything that happened after the Bon Voyage episode. A year in a life is not included. Feel free to indulge in my delusions.
The fic is titled after a U2 song (obviously) "When love comes to town" <3 -

Summary
Life’s hard when you're four and your mommy says you're gonna go on a nice trip to your uncle’s house but then disappears and leaves you there.
Luke has just settled after his father's passing when his good-for-nothing sister decides to abandon her kid with him. Luke doesn't know anything about kids, so he turns to the only person he knows with a kid of similar age. And maybe he wants something more than just parenting advice from her.

Summary
Jess has really been trying to turn things around after coming back to Stars Hollow. And he’d even say it’s going pretty well, that is, until he blacks out in front of Rory and Lorelai from hiding a little fever. As if things could get worse, it just takes one slip of his stupid tongue to reveal everything that he’s tried so hard to hide for 19 years.
(AU where Luke convinces Jess to come back to Stars Hollow after the end of Season 3)

How I Met Your Mother or, The Last Three Chapters by monkeylamp

Summary
We know that Rory has written at least the famous “first three chapters”; what about the last three, though? Hereby I present you a three-part fic or, what I fantasize the last three chapters to be. This is Lorelai and Luke’s romance told by Rory’s perspective and/or filtered through her eyes. Rory comes to both Lorelai and Luke with the same opening question for their interviews, “Can you tell me about the first time you met?” Their answers will kick-start a whole new re-evaluation of past events. The first chapter navigates Lorelai's interview and side of the story; the second chapter will disclose Luke’s; the last one will deal with the scattered memories Rory has about her mom and Luke when she was a kid and the two Gilmore girls would hang out at Luke’s quite often.

A rewrite of 7x21-22 because Rory should've said yes and Logan should've been in the last episode. Hope you enjoy <3 !

Summary
“Who will find her the dollhouse shovel and cut her an extra slice of diner pie when she’s moping around for a week over her dead caterpillar? And… I hate it, because it drives me crazy when I think about it for too long, but I see Jess’s face there every time; holding the shovel, cutting the pie.”
“Oh, Rory.”

Fact remained fact; Luke had been happily humiliating Dean all night, ignoring the fact that he was much younger than he was, and whether it was right or not, he was Rory's choice.
