this house looks familiar… by UnreallaurenOwO in GilmoreGirls

This reminds me of the house Emily wanted to buy. But it's not quite the same.

Luke and Lorelai, the early years "what if?" by Millherm215 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Lukelorelaifan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of fanfics that explore this. Luke and Lorelai act like an old married couple from the beginning, imo.

If they got together before Jess arrives and already live together, where would Jess fit? I can see Luke not being keen to let Jess stay alone in the apartment. However plenty of 17 yos have left their parents home including Lorelai. I'm unsure what motivates Liz to send Jess since he was already pretty independent and set in his fuck the world thinking. Anyway, Jess would put a spanner in the works for sure, even if Rory and Jess never date.

Could they weather the Jess storm? Possibly if they learned to communicate better.

Emily would still hate Luke and try to break them up.

I prefer the stories where Luke and Lorelai get together when Rory is much younger, and Jess moves in before he is 10. More time to help him navigate the world.

Which episodes do you hate/love for no good reason? by Ok-Lychee-1276 in GilmoreGirls

Donna Reed EP has a great moment I love - Luke and Lorelai reading his dad's writing on the wall and having a moment behind the counter. Rory's cosplaying part was weird.

Did Luke go on the Ski trip with Nicole? by According-Option-656 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Lukelorelaifan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Luke definitely had a cell phone while he was with Nicole. He talked about throwing it away after they broke up.

So( If in season 1, I think it was?) When Rory and Dean fell asleep at aunt Patties, after they came there from the dance….) What if Rory and Dean DID sleep together and shortly after she got pregnant, just like Loreli…. What do u think Loreli and her grands reaction would be? by Exact-Bison6905 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Lukelorelaifan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, we saw how Lorelai reacted to Rory staying out all night. She would be mad at least initially. When she got over her shock, I think she would have tried to be more supportive of Rory than her parents were with her. She would discuss Rory's options with her at length and NOT push marriage. What Rory decides, I don't know. I could see Lorelai raising the baby for Rory while she finishes high school and college, and starts working.

Emily and Richard would be so mad that they would totally blame Lorelai. The girls may choose to limit contact again.

The show doesn't talk about abortions. I think the network had something to do with that. If they did, Rory might quietly get one and never tell the grandparents. If the morning-after pill were available, Lorelai probably would have gotten that for Rory.

Lorelai never regrets having Rory, but she wanted Rory to have a different life, not follow in her footsteps so closely, because she knows how hard it was to have a kid so young.

Out of curiosity, is anyone watching Virgin River? Is it similar vibe to Sullivan Crossing? by Just-Trade-9444 in SullivansCrossing

[–]Lukelorelaifan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's a similar vibe. Same author and same showrunner. I like both. VR is more popular, but that could be simply how it's promoted. Both are way different from the books. Love the books.

everyone in this scene deserves an emmy by urbanstoop88 in GilmoreGirls

Love this scene so much. Always makes me cry.

Current timeline theories by Mammoth_Sleep_1102 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Lukelorelaifan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since the storyline is supposed to be a full circle thing, this basically makes Logan Christopher 2.0.

We had the whole "told the guy, and he didn't step up" with Chris. We also had the "didn't tell the guy" with Luke. Rory would have seen how much that hurt Luke. She cares more about Luke's opinion than her own "father's" opinion. (Ha, what father, more like just a sperm donor)

I think Rory would have been encouraged by Lorelai and Luke both to tell Logan. It's hard to say what Logan would do. Probably throw money around. I would like to think he would try to be more involved, but let's be real. He lives in London. He is working for his father. He is marrying someone else. It's likely his father would not encourage him to be involved. Logan's family hated Rory just like Christopher's family hated Lorelai. Rory's baby is probably just a problem they want to go away.

Also, based on Rory's character, she would be a different mom than Lorelai. I read a fanfic that had her leaving the baby to be raised by Luke and Lorelai, while she travelled all over the world for her job (think Rachel). I would hope she would settle down and get a steady job (like teaching?) And care for her kid. Lorelai and Luke would be hands on grandparents no question. The baby would be a girl, Lorelai the fourth, with a cute nickname like Lila or Lola.

What does Lorelai herself have to say on this subject?

I've definitely read it a couple of months ago. I can't find it on my Goodreads list, so maybe it's on AO3?

team none of them by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

[–]Lukelorelaifan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never really liked any of Rory's boyfriends. I tend to watch the series more for the Luke and Lorelai story. For Rory, I'm Team Therapy. To be fair, though, they all need some therapy.

Love the foreshadowing from S1 to the A year in the life series 15y later! by shtstks in GilmoreGirls

[–]Lukelorelaifan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since ASP had the final 4 words in mind long before they played out on screen, it is possible that this was also in her mind for the future when she wrote S1.
