This was utterly fantastic! I love A.J.! And Alex and Lorelai, naturally. Your characterization was fine, because I can definately see Alex yelling, "You can't keep doing this, Lorelai. You can't just walk in and out of our lives like this. You can't expect us to wait for you, and then not show up. Grow the fuck up, Lorelai. Get a real job. Stop spending your parents' money, since you hate them so much. Either you stay, or you leave. I'm tired of this shit." And Lorelai replying "I'm just as fucking tired as you are, and if you'd only say it, then maybe I wouldn't have to get myself in a fucking goddamn hurricane just to prove a point." Just...wow... Seriously. The one thing I didn't like was Olivia marrying Elliot. Just because I kind of hate Elliot and can only believe that pre-season 6 Olivia is very, very gay.
"I was rooting for you and Lorelai."

A.J. stays behind to pick up Lorelai's luggage, and when she looks up, she sees Lorelai with her arms around Mom, hugging Mom from behind. For the longest time, Mom doesn't move, just lets Lorelai hold her.
You may say that you can't paint pictures with your words, but this definately painted a very sweet and vivid picture in my mind. Anyway, like someone mentioned before, Faulkner is a boring, pretentious man who wrote over-analysed literature. I like your writing much more.
This seriously just made my day. And so did some of the comments.
There are no Asians in HK because they are all in Commerce or Science. Ugh. I hate overachieving Asians, because I am not one.
Ugh, bleedin' overachieving Asians kill me, because my dad expects me to be some mathematical and scientific genius and end up as an engineer or businesswoman or a doctor. And my mum says she'd be happy either way, but I do have to make up for my brother's idiocy. What may be worse than overachieving Asians are the parents of the overachieving Asians.

Such a heartbreaking, yet hopeful, ending. It makes my heart feel heavy and fluttery at the same time. One of your best works, for sure.
