metalphonenix and I couldn't resolve the matter on our own, so I'm taking it to livejournal. Basically, WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE AT HOME?[Poll #1408157]
You can't choose Completely Naked Lorelai or I Don't Care As Long As She Keeps Her Mouth Shut Lorelai. Those are not options. She can either be pantsless or shirtless. Nothing else.
I'm still making my way through the first 6 seasons of GG and dear god, it has the most annoying music IN THE WORLD. The strummy la-la background music and the themesong that NEVER STOPS PLAYING IN YOUR HEAD. Jesus fuck.
Blah, because I'm bored and there's nothing on TV, let's play that game where you pick one of my fics and give me a timestamp before or after (say, 6 weeks before, or 5 minutes after, whatevs), and I will try to write something. Tags list to your left, and I will do Arrested Quantico or any of my weirdass AUs (SPN, Oregon Trail, Ocean's 11, etc.), but not JOA or Alex squared. Sorry,
onlyjustwhisper. Come on, people. Poe implores you to entertain me!

Date: 2009-05-31 05:55 pm (UTC)"What should we get, Mama? I want to taste everything."
"So do I, sweetheart, but first we need thread and cloth and coffee, lots and lots of coffee. I promise we'll come back later and you can buy every single kind of candy you see here, all right?"
Rory nodded, her braids bobbing behind her, and pointed to something behind the counter. Alex couldn't see from where she was, and when she leaned over to look around Miss Patricia's stout physique, her eyes caught Rory's, and at once the child exclaimed, "Miss Cabot! Mama, look! It's Miss Cabot."
Lorelai turned around and their gaze met, but before either of them could speak, Rory ran over to Alex and offered her a brown paper sack. "Would you like a lemon drop, Miss Cabot?"
"I would love one," Alex said. She didn't particularly like sweets, but perhaps having something in her mouth would render her unable to engage in any further conversations with either Gilmore.
"I can't believe we finally found you!" Rory continued. She had taken Alex's hand without Alex's knowledge and was drawing her closer and closer to Lorelai. "Mama didn't think we would see you again after we took the other road, but she was wrong. You were wrong, weren't you, Mama?"
"I was indeed." There was a twinge of bitterness to Lorelai's voice which Alex could not ignore. But neither could she address it, so she simply kept her silence.
"Are you a teacher here, Miss Cabot? I'll be starting school next week and I really hope you'll be my teacher."
"Miss Cabot isn't a teacher anymore," Lorelai answered before Alex could get a word in. "She's not even Miss Cabot anymore. She's married now, Rory, remember?"
"Actually, I'm not."
Two pairs of eyes regarded her with astonishment.
"You're not a teacher?" Rory asked, disappointed.
"I'm not married," Alex explained. "I'm still a teacher. So yes, I will probably be your teacher when you arrive at the schoolhouse next week. You'd best not be tardy, Miss Rory Gilmore."
"I won't, I won't, I won't!" Rory sauntered. "I'll be the first one there, I promise!"
"You're not married," said Lorelai incredulously.
"I'm not," said Alex. She watched Lorelai's brows furrow as Lorelai tried to make sense of what she was hearing.
"What happened to Steele?"
"Nothing happened to Steele. I simply told him that I did not wish to be his wife. There was very little else he could do about it. There's very little anyone can do about anything, once I've got my heart set on it."
"Well," Lorelai said. She was smiling now, a small one that would simmer and simmer until it burst into a grin when nobody was looking. Alex knew that smile, knew that grin. "Well, well, well. Miss Cabot, you're full of surprises, aren't you?"
"Perhaps I am," Alex said. She almost smiled, but feeling slightly ridiculous, she shrugged instead.
"I guess I will have to find out," Lorelai said.
"I guess you will," Alex said, and this time, she did smile.

There's so much underneath this!
-stay warm during the blizzard sex!
-rejection, recriminations, dissappointment
- Taking the other road!
And then Alex is like, we are in the middle of nowhere with like 30 people. Societal pressure? Are you joking?

Re: Yours is the last one. NO MORE PROMPTS!
Date: 2009-06-01 04:53 am (UTC)Thanks! Yeah, I don't know. I started writing the AU without ever having seen the show either. SPN is actually way better in theory than in practice, the theory of course being that it's filled to the brim with incestuous demon hunting lesbians.
