(Daryl x OFC) ~ I tried to stay true to the characters, and with the addition of some original scenes, this will follow the TV show (eventually). There will be some minor and major changes along the way. Hope you like them. Enjoy!

"He was a cad, wanted her bad Just like any good trophy hunter And she likes the way it tastes Taming a bear, making him care Watching him jump then pulling him under" Stella has spent her entire life in Stars Hollow, working at Luke's Diner since she was 14. With an absent father and a mother who drowns herself in work and alcohol, Stella has had to take on the role of caretaker for her brilliant but young sister, Blair. The two sisters find comfort and support in Lorelai and Rory, who welcome them into their movie nights and treat them like family. When Jess moves to town, he and Stella initially clash-he's always in her way at work and never pulls his weight. But over time, their shared love of literature and art brings them together, forging a deeper connection than either of them expected. Jess Mariano x OCgirl
