It started out as a game. She's everything a girl wants to be. He's everything a girl wants. As head cheerleader and quarterback, Kody Taylor and Austin Collins would normally be expected to be together with them being the schools Mr. and Ms. Perfect. Lucky for all the single boys and girls in their school, it'll never happen. They hate each other and they aren't afraid to show it. Not like it'll ruin their reputations anyway. If anything, it makes it better beacause people seem to enjoy the show. Will things change when they have to work together to keep their positions as head cheerleader and football captain? All their lives, everything between them has been just a competition. A challenge. A game. But what happens when it isn't just a game anymore?

This story starts a year after season 7. Rory is on the campaign trail and is looking for another job when she runs into someone from her past. Inner thoughts are in italics

jess mariano wanted nothing to do with stars hollow. that was no secret. he had no interest in their school, their biweekly holidays, or the people living there. he especially had no interest in being trained at his uncle's restaurant by some girl named marley acosta, who seemed to have zero tolerance for him and his bullshit. [ JESS MARIANO - SEASON 2 AND BEYOND ]

Rory Gilmore has a twin sister, Olivia Gilmore, who dates Jess instead of her. How did they end up together? Lorelai and Luke are married. What's life like for them? Rory is with Logan, which doesn't sit well with her Mum or Olivia or Jess and Luke. Some flashbacks and I'm awful at descriptions!

"Think how dull your life would be without me."

After those last 4 words, I DEMAND more. Here is my take on it. Warning: there will be SPOILERS.

This story picks up where "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" leaves off-- Lorelai and Luke are married and Rory announces she is pregnant. How does the Danes' relationship change now they've said "I do"? How does Rory deal with the pregnancy...and the baby's father? Follow along with my story to learn my take on how these beloved characters-- and others-- continue with their lives.

"She is water. Powerful enough to drown you, soft enough to cleanse you, deep enough to save you" Where Rory's twin sister, Victoria "Tory" Gilmore meets Dean Forester - a boy who her grandparents clearly don't approve of but she loves anyway.

Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger? Impossible some would say but nothing is impossible. True love always conquers in the end and hopefully it will conquer in this story too. The war is over at long last and with some hard labour, time and a final wave of the wand, Hogwarts is reconstructed to look like its old self. The secret passageways, the pesky house elves and the magnificent food. It's only fair to let the people who missed their last year of Hogwarts to come back and have all the opportunities that they could ever want. This is why Harry, Ron and Hermione came back to Hogwarts, thankful to be away from the chaos of people asking for their photographs and signatures. Draco Malfoy also came back after being cleared of his previous records. He has always had strong feelings for Hermione but had never acted on them. He had decided to stay away from her this year but that was made difficult as Hermione was Head Girl and he was Head Boy. Will the two most unlikely people fall in love at long last?
