Happy New Year, everyone!!! I’m hoping to post tomorrow (fingers crossed). Hope you all had a wonderful New Year’s Day and that 2026 brings you everything you’re hoping for. We’re very close to the affair reveal but before that… there’s a dinner, a pastor, Mitchum Huntzberger, and possibly a jailing (not necessarily in that order). Lindsay, unfortunately, is not off to a great start this year—at least until she meets her next husband.
Been a little unactive on TikTok but it still contains a bunch of clue's bout the upcoming chapters.

Okay so I just started espresso, and normally with reading I give up if it’s ongoing, but this one makes me want to wait for chapters icl

Oh my god!! Just the sheer thought of everything that has transpired in chapter 41 I am absolutely enthralled like literally! With the news out of the way with the Reese and Lindsay and now the Stars Hollow Town finding out about the tumultuous affair between Dean and Rory literally will set the town Ablaze! I hope that in time Lorelei finally gets to separate herself from Rory for a bit because that would probably be best for a while after the inevitable finding out because I really do want Lorelei too have a better relationship with Reese really bad but I really do hope that Colin and Lindsay finally actually get together after the divorce and I hope that she gets to go after her dream of being a teacher or some sort of that caliber but I do know one thing though I think that a really hope that Emily and Richard fully closed the door to Rory's education so if she decided to go back to Yale she won't have a way to pay the tuition and go to Community College which will be a tarnishing punishment on her end I'm just how I like to say it now throwing ideas like spaghetti noodles and hope it sticks on the wall plus I'm a little bit tired I read it all and I'm going to reread it in the morning love it love it love it love it! Your mind is an incredible masterpiece!

Oh and I was just wondering, but do you have like a quote on quote ‘schedule’ for posting?
I feel bad for asking; I’ve posted a Marvel fanfic in quotev and I understand how questions and comments like this can be very stressing!!!!!!!!
So sorry, just thought I’d ask!!!
URomanempire
@DrAmAqUeEnRoMaNoFf Heyy don't mind at all, I sadly do not have a schedule at the moment due to work and University. Whenever I'm able to I publish. As of right now it's once a week, that way I can ensure the chapter has been given enough love/attention to be long and enjoyable for my wonderful readers.

Something I really admire about this fic is how confident the writing is. You trust your characters to carry scenes without overexplaining, and it makes everything feel so natural and immersive. Reese doesn’t need to announce who she is—her choices, her dialogue, the way other people respond to her says it all. That’s such a hard thing to pull off, and you do it beautifully.
The way Reese moves through different worlds—Yale, the Huntzberger sphere, fashion, family—feels seamless. She adapts without shrinking, and she never loses her sense of humor or her kindness in the process. That balance is so rare and so satisfying to read.
I also love how the adults in this story are written with real presence. Miranda Mode isn’t just intimidating—she’s perceptive, strategic, and oddly protective in her own terrifying way. Emily and Richard feel grounded and emotionally intelligent, not caricatures, and their influence on Reese is subtle but powerful.
And the friendships!!! The scenes with Paris, Louise, and Madeline add so much warmth and levity. They don’t just exist for comic relief—they’re a support system, a safe place, and a reminder of who Reese is when everything else gets overwhelming.
This story feels intentional, character-driven, and incredibly well-paced. It’s the kind of fic that makes you slow down because you don’t want to miss anything. Thank you for sharing something so thoughtfully written—I’m genuinely excited every time I see an update ☕️

Couldn’t have said it any better. I found this story a few days ago and it has made me wildly unproductive because I’ve been so obsessed with reading it.
Reese is such a revelation! She truly feels like a living, breathing, and vital character in the Gilmore universe. We learn so much about her through her interactions with the other characters, and I feel as though everything she does and all the relationships she chooses to foster as well as all the situations she handles with her winning combination of humor/intellect/kindness reaffirms exactly who she is.
It’s so rare that we get the opportunity to read about a character that “shows” us who they are rather than the author simply telling us through exposition alone. Every problem Reese solves, or situation she faces head on and deals with makes Reese so much fun to follow and root for.
