Jeeeez, I am apparently terrified of Emily fic. I was so prepared for it to be as depressing as hell - because your title is just like - "this will be the worst thing ever, and you will never recover," and then I read it and I was like - "oh, wait, you meant the tensed almost - like 'not yet but soon', or maybe 'sort of'," and I hadn't realized that 'almost' has so much semantic ambiguity! But it took me a while to get over my shock of, oh, this isn't going to be soul destroying. It was actually nice!
(I mean, the Emily/JJ stuff at the end made me throw up a little in my mouth, but there is a bit of yay, Henry! I like Henry. I feel the urge to go and write about him being a little incipient gay boy and dressing up in Emma's shoes now.)
The Declan one was awesome! And is totally in my Doyle-headcanon! (yeah, the Doyle stuff was such a crazy AU. I don't even know. But seriously, the idea that there was some bond of affection between gunsmuggling douche and Emily is much less convincing than Emily and her canon weakness for small children.)
I loved the idea of Emily at a parent-teacher conference!
And the first one is so cool. Especially after comment-perusal which helped the world make sense. I'm thinking Miranda is a good name, and probably better than the whole Naming Your Kid After Yourself, which the original source material tried not to make as creepy and weird as it should be. (How do you manage to write Emily Gilmore so scarily well? I just want to hit her with a shoe.)
But my favorite was the SPN AU one! Emily in hell! And small Lorelai and Alex twins! And Dad and Daddy failing at parenting. And awesome scars. :D And then, the last line, and I'm just like, ooooooh. Killer.
