“So how’s Columbia?”
“Screw you,” says Rory thinly, passing him the half of the scone that’s left. It’s cherry, anyway, his favorite. (What else is she supposed to do with her hands? Where should she put them now so she doesn’t slip up and reach for him?)
“Yeah.” Jess brushes her fingers with his cold ones as he takes the paper bag, purposeful and spiteful, proving nothing she doesn’t already know. “Right back at you.”

Rory Gilmore is FINE! She's no longer the ambitious journalist that she set out to be, and is now a stable English teacher at her alma mater. The only thing missing in her life is romantic stability. and that is when Jess Mariano, the new Creative Writing teacher at Chilton comes in. Rory is secretly thrilled to meet one of her favourite authors, but can't seem to quench this new, unimaginable thirst every time she's around him. What happens when circumstances, such as merging a class with him every month or being partnered with him to plan the Winter Ball, cause her to experience more than what she should?
Jess Mariano is HAPPY! Sure, he gets to be closer to his little sister and move away from his fast-paced life as a bestselling author, whose book series under a new pen name, is gaining more traction than he ever gained in his entire career. He's more than happy to encounter Rory Gilmore as his new colleague. But will the pressure of who he is and why he's there, end all possibilities of pursuing a relationship with her, before it even begins?
A Literati AU where Jess and Rory are high school teachers who experience Slow Burn because... why not?
Dedicated to @anxiouspotatorants

Just wrote about 1K of a Gilmore Girls fic. Starting out, I thought it might be a short little drabble (or multi drabble, if that's a thing), but then I was struck with inspiration. It is now 4 partially-written chapters. 😄
If only I could have this kind of writing mojo when it's something I'm writing on a deadline. (I'm looking at you, Secret Santa fic exchange)
Oh, well.
Coming soon to a web browser near you: My first Literati fic.

New Literati AU —> this type of love the epitome
“You want to go run after Jess. Don’t you.”
“I need this, mom. I need to do this, I need the closure.” Just saying the words has a weight lifting from her chest and Rory feels the floodgates opening, tears flowing freely down her cheeks that she’s been holding on to since that day.
“I-I haven’t felt like this before, there’s just so much missing and I can’t be happy, I can’t even be sad, I’m just stuck in this limbo until I know that he’s okay, that he’s not hurt or alone or sleeping under a bridge. That he’s being fed, that he’s warm, that he’s okay. And I know I shouldn’t care, not when he left the way he did and treated me the way he did but it’s like— no matter how much I tell myself to move on, I can’t. I just— can’t. I need to see him, speak to him, even if it’s the last time.”
Or— Rory goes to find Jess after he flees to California.

The Writers Ch. 13
The New Beginning - December 2018
It’s the week before Christmas. They stay at Rory’s that Friday night, after trying a new sushi restaurant around the corner from her apartment. They stay up unusually late, drinking and talking. Rory’s phone is on silent, so she doesn’t see the text on Saturday morning at 9am from Lorelai saying that she decided to make a spontaneous trip to New York for some last minute Christmas shopping. Rory also misses the text from Lorelai asking if she would go out to brunch with her mom before Lorelai attacks her shopping list. And she misses the text saying that even if Rory is still asleep, Lorelai is coming to her building, looking for street parking, because she doesn’t want to pay for a garage. 
Rory is just starting to stir from her sleep. She presses herself against Jess’s bareback, locked in his embrace. She wiggles against him, feeling his morning wood pressed against her ass. His breath is hot against her neck. He pulls her to him, his hand smooth against her stomach, when Rory notices her phone lighting up on her bedside table. 
“Ignore it,” Jess groans against her back. 
She closes her eyes and presses against him, happy to follow his commands and shut the outside world away for just a little while longer. But when she opens her eyes, her phone is still lit, and she remembers ignoring her mom’s calls in September when Luke was in the hospital. She sees her mom’s name flashing against her phone screen and picks up. 
“Mom?” Rory asks, her voice husky. 
“I just parked,” Lorelai says. “You should be proud. I had to fight for it. This big Escalade was vying for the same spot, but I said, not today, mister, and fixed him with this dirty look, and he backed off. It was like something out of The Fast and the Furious .”
“Wait, you parked where?” Rory asks, stifling a yawn.
“On 27th street,” Lorelai says. “I thought we could go to that restaurant for brunch, you know the place that serves the baklava pancakes?”
“You’re here? In New York?” Rory jumps out of bed and gestures for Jess to do the same. 
“Didn’t you get my texts?” Lorelai asks. “I’m sick of shopping in Connecticut. Everything looks the same. And I’ve barely left Stars Hollow since Luke had his accident. I’m starting to go insane. I was bouncing off the walls last night, and he practically begged me to go visit you. See you in a second–”
“But–” Rory doesn’t have time to respond. Lorelai’s hung up. “Shit.” She pulls on clean underwear and jeans. “You’ve got to go,” she turns to Jess. “My mom is here.”
“In Astoria?” Jess scrambles out of bed.
“She’s practically at my building. Apparently she was texting me all morning.” Rory glances at her phone and sees the blocks of unanswered texts. 
Jess is buttoning his jeans. She throws him his t-shirt from the floor, and then shoos him off the bed so she can hastily make it. “You should have time to sneak out the back stairs.”
“Jesus, I just woke up.”
“Do you really want her to find out this way?” Rory asks, as she rushes over to the front door and grabs Jess’s shoes.
“She’s going to find out anyway,” Jess says. 
“She’s going to find out in a controlled environment,” Rory says. “On our terms. Not walking in on us post-coital.”
The corner of Jess’s mouth quirks. “It was more like pre-coital,” he says. “Coitas interruptus.”
Heat rises to Rory’s cheeks at Jess’s words, and she has a horrible image of her mother literally walking in on them. She needs to avoid this situation as much as humanly possible. 
“Move it mister!” She says. “Now is not the time for your latin sex humor.”
Read the completed story on Ao3.

“I just can’t do it anymore, I can’t handle everything all on my own. I was supposed to have people, wasn’t I? And where are they? Why aren’t they helping me, why didn’t they want me? Why didn’t anyone love me enough to keep me? Why am I killing myself just to prove a point to the universe that I’m—I’m worthy of something, that I’m not bothered by it when I’m so bothered, and I don’t get it, I don’t get how anyone can just give their kid up like they don’t matter. What did I do wrong, y’know? What’s wrong with me?”
Jess pulls her back into him, and he says, “Nothing,” with so much conviction it almost knocks the wind out of her. “Nothing is wrong with you.”
“Something has to be,” Rory sniffles. “I’m defective and they could smell it on me.”
“You’re not defective.”
“Then why didn’t they want me?”

so... guess what's been updated
“I’m sorry.” “What are you sorry for?” He asks, laughing a little in surprise.  “I don’t know,” she admits. “I just… I didn’t want to make you think that I wasn’t happy for you.” He nods slowly, something somber about his expression. “Okay.” She offers him a smile, and it eases something in him. “And I am, just so you know.” “What?” “Happy for you.”  She can see the headlights of an approaching cab behind him. His lips part. “Thank you,” he says finally, all melancholic nostalgia and gratitude, and it plays with her heartstrings like the bow of a violin.

HEY EVERYONE!! I wrote a literati fic, again! it's called Jupiter and it's only 2 chapters, around 5k words each, and it's canon-compliant (ta da duuun). it's like a missing moments fic. I HOPE YOU'LL LIKE IT!! <3
Summary: while Lorelai's spending the night at Sookie's, Rory's plans to invite Jess over for a date go differently than she had expected, and the two end up having a night destined to last in their memories.
EDIT: chapter two is up!!!

I Was Lonely (Until I Got Stuck With You)
Tumblr media
Jess was supposed to have the trip of a lifetime. Instead, he's contracted a serious case of loneliness and decides to leave early. What happens when a snowstorm prevents that from happening and instead for the next 12 hours he has to stay in a hotel room that has one bed along with a girl who he starts having a crush on despite the fact that she's way out of his league???
Rory was supposed to be Christine Amanpour/ the female Citizen Kane. Instead, she is facing a severe case of burnout, in both a personal and professional sense and comes to a point paralleling the time she wanted to take a break from Yale. What happens when after so long she has a chance of a whirlwind romance with a stranger who eerily gets her even if he doesn't know her, especially in circumstances (a hotel with one bed and only 12 hours before going their separate ways) which dictate a one night stand and nothing else?
An AU where Jess and Rory meet during a turbulent point of their lives and are thrust together in unlikely situations during the course of one night, all starting with the airline booking them into the same hotel room, that too with one queen-size bed.

I’ve been on a recent literati binge, obsessed with them, and stumbled upon your literati fic, “‘this is tailored made (so what’s the sense in waiting?)”, and wanted to say thank you so much for it. I can honestly say it took over my life for a brief 3 day stint and now, I’m yearning for more of them! YOU DID AMAZING! You gave them justice where the revival lacked. The closure desired from these two. It gave me so much pain and happiness, you wouldn’t believe it. I left reviews, ofc. I can’t thank you enough for how amazing that journey was for me, a delight, through and through. You are a marvelous and gut wrenching writer! You actually know these characters. Thank you so much, again, and I hope to see more from you! Will be checking out your other literati fics, indubitably!
🥰❤️ Thank you so much! The love for this fic has absolutely blown me away. I’m truly humbled and feel blessed to have you and others as such lovely amazing readers. And thank you for leaving a review. They mean the world to me. I’m completely backed up, but eventually I will respond to the rest of them, even the ones who have been waiting for a reply for like a year or two. I’m sorry! You’re not forgotten, I promise. Just overwhelmed with life. 😘 (@milothirst I haven’t forgotten about the Jess + sex post. Posting it soon!)
As for more in the universe, I have a small-ish follow-up I’m working on. TITM’s coming up on the 1k kudos mark on AO3 😱🤯, so I thought to maybe do a wedding sequel as a 1k celebration. I’m about 20% done with it at this point. Given how slow I am at writing with my hectic life schedule right now, we’ll see when I can get that out. Hopefully before summer of next year.
As for my other fics, I am still working on those as well. Next update will be for TWWCIL. I’ve got about 65% of the full story written, but of course it’s mostly towards the end. Once I finish fleshing out the middle, I’ll be able to rewrite chapter 4 and start a more regular update process. After that will be Chapter 8 of OSAS, the full story which has about 7 more chapters left to write before it is finally complete and we can post it regularly as well. And then I’ll post the 2 part Chilton AU, the Lit + cats au, and then finally the time loop AU I’ve been writing in my head for like four years.
So a lot of things to come. I just really need the time to be able to sit down and write. Thought I would have it this year, but my car got taken from me at the beginning of this year due to theft and vandalism, which was a huge loss cause my car IS my livelihood. I make majority of my money from driving gigs, and now that I’m spending about $500 a week with the rental I have while also making less money than before due to constraints of the rental program, it’s been a lot of expenses that I’m juggling at the moment. Once I’m able to buy a new car, I can go back to my ideal three day/weekend work week and get back to writing semi regularly.
I hope you’ll stay tuned. Feel free to come by here to chat or for any updates. I also recently made a Twitter (I HATE myself), so I’m gonna try and start posting more on there as well. Anon from months ago, if you’re still here, you can now find me @natsugia1 on Twitter. I should warn you though that my twitter will probably be a LOT more eclectic in terms of what I tweet on there, given what I’ve already been sucked into on that dumpster fire of a platform.
Wishing you a beautiful and wonderful summer. Sending you the QUEEN for Fun and Love and Life
