FIC LINK: Strange Love
AUTHOR LINK: [livejournal.com profile] fourteenlines
RATING/WARNING(S): PG13
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete/4500
MAIN CHARACTERS: Lane Kim, Lorelai Gilmore, Luke Danes

FIC SUMMARY: Every day is like Sunday.

RECCER'S NOTES: I am an absolute sucker for AUs when the canon is realism/drama. I have a lot of love for these characters, and seeing them in extreme AU scenarios still being them is one of my favourite things. This is Gilmore Girls apocafic, and it's fantastic. The Lane POV is dead-on, Lorelai is amazing and competent but not to a point where it's unrealistic (ie exactly right!), and the atmosphere is heartbreaking. Absolutely love it <3

MAIN CHARACTERS: Emily Gilmore

FIC SUMMARY: Her daughter would be able to do this.

RECCER'S NOTES: So now that Autumn is finally underway, I've broken out my Gilmore Girls dvds (it just feels like such an autumnal show, idk) and I'm in the mood for some Gilmore Girls fic. And so, I found this one <3 As time goes by, one of the things I notice and love more and more in this show is just how damn much Emily really loves Lorelai. It's sort of heartbreaking how lost in translation that love gets, and this Emily-centric character study does an amazing job of exploring and capturing that.
