#AGilmoreChristmas Day 17

There was a tree, with lights and ornaments and even a star. A star that he’d put on. Jesus, he was growing soft.

He could claim that Luke insisted, that he had no other choice to decorating the tree unless he wanted to hear Luke ranting about ‘family time’ and ‘making new traditions’ and all that crap. He could say that he didn’t care that he finally got a tree, after years of begging followed by years of silently pining for something even resembling a Christmas decoration. He could say he wasn’t excited for tomorrow morning when Luke would make pancakes and he would get to open the present his uncle probably felt obligated to get him and he would finally have a half-decent Christmas if he managed not to completely screw it up.

The truth was this: Jess Mariano had never had a real Christmas, so he was actually excited when his uncle dragged in a rugged tree and insisted they throw tinsel and crap on it, even though he knew the man probably would have prefered to ship him back to Liz’s during the break for even two weeks of peace. Hell, Jess had prepared himself to be told he was better off in New York, Luke had done his best but he was a hopeless case. Even with Luke’s flimsy lie about Liz calling and saying that Jess should experience Stars Hollow at Christmastime, he had never expected the tree or the badly hidden presents with his name on them or that he’d be sitting here, on December 24, watching It’s A Wonderful Life with Luke and thoroughly enjoying himself.

a gilmore’s christmas DAY 13

Lorelai jumps up from the couch at the sound of a car horn tooting outside, she grabs her jacket from the coat rack and quickly stuffs her feet in her shoes, opening the door and bounding outside, Paul Anka follows clipping at her heels. Just as Lorelai reaches the bottom of her porch, the car’s passenger side door flies open before the car even stops. 

‘MUM!’ Roy comes leaping out of the car, running to meet her halfway and crashing into Lorelai’s arms. 

“Rory! It’s been far too long!’ Lorelai cries and Rory just squeezes her mum tighter. “I missed you mom” Rory and Lorelai continue to hug till they are interrupted by a small voice yelling “GRANDMA!” 

Lorelai lets go of her daughter to bend down, and she quickly opens her arms up just in time for her grandson Richie to jump into them. “How is my favorite person?”

Jess Mariano is reading on one of the stools by the cash register at one in the morning when the bell at the entrance of the diner chimes. He glances up and is pleasantly surprised to see Rory Gilmore, his favorite midnight customer. She’s alone this time, but she’s definitely not as happy as she typically is when she arrives, sober or drunk.

She spots him and gives him a fleeting smile as she unwraps her scarf.

“Rough night?” he asks.

“It’ll be rougher if you don’t give me coffee and double of everything on the menu,” she says, plopping down on the stool next to his, unbuttoning her coat.

1995

He met Lorelai Gilmore on a Thursday. She gave him his horoscope and he gave her coffee and he thought that would be the end of their ‘relationship’ if one could so much as call it that. He thought she was just a visitor passing through, never to be seen again.

Your Day 12 gift here! Luke and baby Rory’s Christmas, um yes please!! This fic is so precious omg. 

Jess and Rory

I feel like there are a lot of scenes of Rory and Jess’ relationship that we missed out on. Like Pizza and book buying, the distillers concert, seeing them over at Rory’s watching movies and eating takeout. Even though they seem like small things, they would have been nice to see. 

Fic Prompts?
