A great Jason date one-shot, with a touch of angst. Probably the best and true-to-Lorelai reaction to their first date I ever read. Probably violated some tumblr etiquette by not waiting until @brittaden posted it herself. Oops. Sorry.
also did anyone buy that luke is dumb enough to think that having a surrogate mother means he’ll have to sleep with a woman of their choosing.
After seeing a jillion stupid things that Lorelai and Luke said to each other over the years, the Yale mattress for example, I have the headcanon that these things may start out as ignorance, but rapidly get mocked and converted into a banter that they both actively enjoy.
The Yale mattress was nicely dealt with in someone’s fanfic when she wrote blah blah blah mattress blah blah blah, Then it ended up in Lorelai’s garage as they always knew it would. (paraphrased)
And OMG @brittaden and @meags09 how could I forget this pre-series teen LL story, also still going on.
Hi! I was wondering if you know any teen Lorelai/Luke fic? Thanks! I really love your blog :)
Hi and thank you! :))
I haven’t ready too many teen Luke/Lorelai fics because I don’t know of that many, at least ones that are well-written and finished but this is what I managed to come up with. But these aren’t exactly finished.
The Unbearable Heaviness of Being – this one is one that I’m forever disappointed isn’t finished because it’s just so good. Still it’s over 80,000 words so it’s still a good read.
Friends Forever – also not finished, but interesting concept.
The Broken Road - bounces between ‘present day’ and the past with L/L as teens. also not finished but still a good story.
Start of a New Life – short and they’re teens.
I believe I know of some others, I just can’t find them right now. I’ll update this if I think of any others though. Fanfiction is seriously lacking in teen Luke/Lorelai stories.
@junienmomo && @meags09, do you know of any more?
Hope this helps!
I do know some!
This one is my absolute favorite: Somewhere Only We Know
Not a romance but still cute Bickering at Bergdorfs
Lorelai is 18 and Luke is 21, still good story Strangers
Another 18/21 Hardware and Kids Running Amok
There’s another one I’m trying to think of but it’s not coming to me right now. It takes place not long after Lorelai and Rory move into the potting shed, and they have sex on the couch. That’s all I remember!
Ahh, that first one you listed was the first one that popped in my mind when I read this question but I couldn’t remember enough details to actually find the story. I love that one too.
This could be the one, @meags09. But He Has the Coffee by jimberlyshipper
My current favorite is from twochairsshortofaset: The Royal Brigade of Hopeless Cases Not finished yet, but it was just started this year.
Don’t forget the adorable period oneshot The Lorelais’ First Christmas in Star-Crossed derived from the classic deepfriedcake western story Star-Crossed, Colorado
Others:
On My Own by Absolutely Abby. Complete with Lorelai starting at 17.
Luke and Lorelai Teens by calzonabailey Lots of chapters, not officially finished, but maybe close enough
Encounter by TL22. Sixteen year old Luke meets someone in this one shot.
A Story of Love by hitman85 Luke in the hospital with William, Lorelai comes in to give birth.
A male Gilmore Girls? @brittaden
For all fanfic writers suffering from writer’s block, hang in there. I’ve had quite a bit of it this year, partially due to illness, but also plain vanilla writer’s block.
The best thing to do is to keep plugging away, but also to switch things up. Try something crazy, something you haven’t been doing. That can stimulate your thought patterns differently.
What worked for me was I was waking up at 3 a.m. so I just started writing at that time. Even though it’s not final draft quality, at least I’m getting my plot and major points laid out.
If all else fails, remember what Luke said. You can do it.
If you want to talk through some ideas, feel free to pm me. I’m on fanfiction.net.
