I can't believe how good this fic is! It's short, and that is usually disappointing, but somehow you've really made it work. There's no definitive happy ending (ie we don't see Rory and Jess clearly getting together), but the Hemingway analogy is so much better than anything obvious, and the way you've written the whole thing is just beautiful (details like a fleck of stawberry ice cream on the counter really make me happy!).

I love this line in particular:
"From there on out it’s mostly like starting over, or maybe just picking up where they left off."

Lovely. Thanks for writing! :)

Aww so cute. And you really made the characters feel the way do in the show. I find a lot of people tend to mess that up (and I know I probably would as well, despite watching it everyday lol.) It was refreshing to read something so believable :)

This fic reminded me of all those days I dutifully watched Gilmore Girls after school, and some of the reasons why I liked it so much. It's a good, sweet oneshot. :)

Great, and realistic, so far as a newbie like me can tell.

This is really cute! It deserves a sequal!

^_^

Nice touch

I really enjoyed this. You explained everything so much with this line: "She’s not sure, but she thinks that might be the protocol when you kiss your ex-boyfriend while you’re still with your current boyfriend who has since become your ex-boyfriend, leaving ex-boyfriend-the-first to become – a friend, a nothing, a guy on a bench"

Lovely job here. Thanks for writing it!

I love your mature Rory and Jess. The tone, the pace - everything about this fic is excellent. Right down to the Meerkat Manor reference.

"She reaches for the Hemingway again, remembering bridges and sun. On the title page, Hemingway’s name is circled. One more chance? is scribbled underneath it. She bites her lip, traces the question mark with her finger."

What a fantastic way to broach the issue (for you and for Jess). Just lovely.

That's adorable. I loved it!

This, my friend, is post-series Literati at its absolute best. Hell, this is Lit PERIOD at it's best.

I literally have no words other than that you are now a God in my eyes.

AMAZING.

that was so great! i love that fact that they didn't jump to a relationship, but you know it's definitley going to happen (or hope really, really hope) I love reading future fics of Rory and Jess (the greatest couple ever!)

Too perfect!! This was great and so real - it wasn't rushed at all like so many are.

I really love this, the story flowed wonderfully and you made amazing connections with the bag and Hemingway.

Ah very nice : )
You should continue with this, I always missed her being with Jess

oh my god! this was marvelous. i fell in love with after the first sentence, by the end of the first paragraph i was in admiration, by the end of it i was in complete and total adoration.
it was just so... them, you know. no need to overcharge it, it was simply and in their most beautiful way Jess and Rory and i loved it dearly. hope you'll keep writing for this fandom. you're good.
