Treasure Lost, Treasure Found by LadyofReylo
5 parts Complete Mature
This is a story about older versions of Rey and Charlie--not in their 20s or 30s but some other age. "Mom," Kay had said. "You have to get out. Go to the party." Rey had protested that she didn't know anyone and she was happier messing around at home on her projects. But she knew when to keep her mouth shut. Or Kay would fucking show up on her doorstep, rip the soldering iron out of her hand, and bully her into a dress. One that was probably too tight and itched. So Rey agreed to put on something she liked to wear, go to the damn play, and hit the after-show party. At the party, Rey meets Charlie Barber and embarks upon a whole new world of dating... as an older woman.
A Stooge's Teacher by amongstthecharacters
8 parts Ongoing Mature
Colin was done. He couldn't do it anymore, so he resolved to stop looking for love. He had thought he would find what Logan and Rory had, with Stephanie, but when they tried to grow something deeper out of a superficial murmur of attraction, nothing came off it. Now, he had deleted his profiles from dating apps and butted heads with his father over his latest stepmother trying to set him up with her friends. It was just weird. The new year just started and Colin was set on focusing on the law firm, which his father would soon hand over to him, when a set of emerald green eyes caught his attention. Well, he first noticed her concentration while chaos reigned around her in the hip and bustling coffee shop, Colin had decided to try out that day. Sparks burn down castles and love floods fortresses around hurt hearts in this romance story, that tells on how Colin McCrae, hotshot lawyer, and Rachel Hollister, teacher extraordinaire, crossed paths. ... Following the end of "Gilmore girls: A year in the life", this story starts in January 2018. Some characters are my own, those from the original show "Gilmore girls" obviously belong to ASP. I use them for the purpose of this story only. As it is, most of the main characters from the show will only be marginally involved as this story centers around Colin. Also, there will be some explicit, smutty chapters. However, those won't be part of the main story and will be clearly marked. So, if that kind of writing / topic isn't up your alley, you can just ignore those.
