Rory/Jess Recs #2

Fic

- Timing by Knowhere: Six years down the road. A box. A phone call. A conversation that’s long overdue.
- And its sequel: Maybe This Time: Change is inescapable. One week. Seven days. A relationship comes together. These two stories were my first foray into Rory/Jess Future Fic and they instantly became my favourite reunion scenario. I love the vulnerability displayed in it, especially by Jess. It's all about honesty. The atmosphere is so intimate, during this week of reconciliation nothing in the world matters but them.

- Firealarms by aragons: In a sea of brightly colored paperbacks and scholarly tomes, the simple grey with only a title stands out. [FutureLiterati] True love never dies...

- Lit Fic by Vera Cobb: A silly parody of all the various Rory/Jess reunion fics floating around in cyberspace. Just LOL!

- Pleats And Puzzle Pieces by Finnigan Geist: He liked finding all the ways they fit each other. A bit of naughty fun with some hilarious lines.

- Two At The Most by Andra-ggfan: Rory wakes up in the one bedroom she never thought she would. Jess's. Apparently things happen when there are one too many Martinis involved. Post-finale Literati.
- And its sequel Incurable: Jess and Rory finally go on a long overdue real date. It doesn't end there. An uncomplicated look at the post-series reunion.

- Commas And Ampersands by finkpishnets: He thinks that maybe, should Luke ask, that this card is Closure, except it's obviously just him digging up the past and not even his Uncle's dumb enough not to notice that. Sometimes a simple gesture is all it takes.

- Ask Me, I Won't Say No (How Could I?) by dollsome: Sixteen, she reminds herself, was a long time ago. Short but so sweet and so them.

- Astronomy by Unfold: Rory, Jess, stars, etc. Set during Teach Me Tonight. 'He is distracted completely by this sky.' Lyrical and with a lovely parallel to Jane Eyre (achieving redemption through her).

- Gazing From Rooftops by aragons:She asked for him to turn right. This is where it led them. Inspired by Astronomy. Not as lyrical, but the longing is so guh. Goes AU in the end.

- Two Ships by Abc79-de: Jess stops in to pick up something left in Stars Hollow. Rory stops to crash in her old bed for a night. Neither is expecting company, but they find it nonetheless. Lovely and hot at the same time.

- Blue Magnets by FallAway: AU Season two. He shouldn’t be allowed to touch her like this. But she stopped saying no a long time ago. Beautiful language and guh! Hot!

- Suggesting It's Better by FallAway": t could be worse. She’s just not sure how. Literati oneshot, post 6x18. Painful, both figuratively and literally. I love the blood metaphor.

- Orange Striped Sheets by Trapped In Past: "I love you Jess." It’s a chant, a Hail Mary, a prayer rolling off of her lips like melted cherry ice. Another look at the post-series reunion. I love how at ease with each other they are here.

Vids

- The Last Time by Bumcrackmosh182: "All the times I let you in, just for you to go again. Disappear when you come back, everything is better..." I may or may not have watched this video countless times these last few weeks. So good it hurts.

- Down by Bumcrackmosh182 "So why do I try? I know I'm gonna fall down."

- Kiss Quick by Bumcrackmosh182 "Shut your mouth, pull me out before this all goes grey..."

- Be The Song by Seehuna
