I found this story through Haefen's rec site, Girls! Girls! Girls! Maybe I shouldn't be plugging her. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for posting such a nice story because even if some people can pull off a story in which they leave out the words "hungrily", "desperately", and all those other melodramatic adverbs that drive me insane, it ends up being boring, like something that Rosie O'Donnell would tell people to buy.

Is this totally unrelated? Anyway, I liked seeing Liz as a non-drunken fool, without the Jersey accent and bad roots (hair-wise). I also liked seeing Luke vulnerable, but not in the way that it's usually portrayed, which is, "That darn Lorelai, she just makes me so weak in the knees!"

It's really late at night, I'm sorry. But you get the point. Super-keen job.

I just wanted to let you know that I adore this fic, and the one it follows. I'm a pretty lazy feedbacker but it's great to find a fic that is both well written and focuses on other parts of the show than the teen melodrama.

Wow... You certainly came up with an original and interesting plot! I love this, absolutely love it. You're quickly making Luke my favourite character! I mean, wow, who couldn't love him after reading your fics?? It's so cool to see young Luke. Nervous about starting his diner, his interactions with Liz, his dealing with the death of his dad, and his meeting Lorelai. This is an awesome story arc you have going, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who wishes you'll do another a sequel! You're an incredibly talented writer. Bravo!

I like the story so far, but am having trouble reading the last part. I don't think it's my computer because I can read other stuff. Maybe you can resubmit... or email it...please???

Sorry it took me this long to find your fic. Anyways I'm here now!

I really like the way you explore Luke and Liz's relationship. The way they're extremely close during fleeting seconds and a world apart from during the rest of the time. And Jess, how ... cute. You're right, he's probably a frowner to start with.

I think you're right about Lorelai and Luke meeting at an earlier time and I think your intrepertation really fits the bill. Lorelai is definitely the kind to take "preventative measures" when it come to cleaning. And the bit about pie, it's true that there's nothing like pie ... except ... pie!

I like this fic very much. Short, sweet and beautiful. Keep up the good work!

PS. I think Iris has potential. :lol:

That's really good! I like your style of writing and you captured Luke's personality perfectly. Keep up the great writing. I can't wait to read more!

nice. I love your stuff
