good story

This is touching, and gripping. I love the healing that you showed. Also, the inner emotions and dialog from Emily at the beginning are fantastic!
This is exactly what they writers should have written for the show! I love that you allowed Emily and Lorelai to finally open up and tell each other that they love each other. I always thought that Lorelai should have said she was sorry for all the grief she caused her parents, especially her mother.

Great story!! You're absolutely good at describing Emily emotions... I liked the way you made Lorelai listening to her mother sobbing from the back of the plane. It was time that Lorelai understood all the pain she had put on her mother's heart and that they finally found a way to talk about that without fighting or yelling too much. And Lorelai reassuring Emily about the fact that she hadn't lose her or Rory was really good. I liked this story a lot... Thanks for sharing it!!

great story!

Finally I have the time to review. This is another great oneshot.
First of all,I really love the way you've introduced Emily:through her aspect and the way of walking,all her composure and the sunglasses,you've perfectly coveyed her personality. The little details just gave away what kind of person Emily is. So perfect and cold. But this is just her appearence as you've perfectly showed after it because inside of her there was a real turmoil,a mix of emotions. I bet she could have started to scream so loudly if only she hadn't been the "perfect lady who hates public displays of emotion" she is. And the fact that later she started to sob uncontrollaby when she thought no one was there to see her just proves it. Moreover,I also like that she sat there in silence for some time. That silence was too much,even for her. After all she was escaping from silence,from that big house that once again was so empty. She must have felt so lonely. For too many times. The only thing that was a bit OC,IMO,was that at the beginning she seemed to agree with Richard's plan for Rory while I've always thought she was on Lorelai's side. But maybe it's just an impression. But the rest is perfect.
Lorelai's characterization was great,too. I think you've caught all her desperation and ache,all her need to be loved and accepted. I agree that Lorelai maybe felt in that way,that she's always felt her mother didn't love her enough(becaue I'm sure that deep down she knew her mother loved her. She must have known it as a mother herself) and when she began to reach out for Emily,to think that maybe even her mother had a heart...that was so great and so in character.
Finally,I'm glad that at the end they seemed to be able to express their mutual feelings and to deal with them. I'm sure they'll need time to make things work,but that was a start.
Great job!

This was really a wonderful written story. I love how it ended. Thanks for sharing.

I loved this story. You clearly have a strong understanding of Emily and can see past her surface characteristics. You captured her complexity well. I love how you gave us Emily fans the hug and the ILY between Lorelai and Emily, and you did it in an IC way. Good job! Love the title, too.

beautiful :) you're an excellent writer.

You know, this is what we all wished for. To actually see Emily and Lorelai approach each other, apologize and make up. Actually hug each other. Understand each other.

Because personally, I think only Lorelai made the efforts of saying sorry and Emily either rejected it or waved it off, or both. Correct me if I'm wrong, though :)

Thanks for writing this :)

its really nice - you should try also confrontation between Rory and lorelai as well

"dull from years of emotional pain"
Great way to put it. Same goes for the whole paragraph after Lorelai has left. The emotions you describe are so deep; they make my heart contract in my chest. It's one of those moments where you want to reach out and just hug her.

It's SO great that you did what I had hoped would happen in the show. You made Lorelai come back!
I'm glad you made her sit next to her and let her place her hand on her shoulder. If you had just let her try to hug her, this would have gotten OOC.
Your Lorelai tries to find the right words and tries to joke, just to say something really wrong. It's just like on the show.
Your Emily reacted the way I would think GGs Emily would have: She got angry. I could hear her voice in my head when she snapped at her daughter.

Then Lorelai's confession. I like how you worded it. I think it sounded a lot like what would come out of her mouth. The only phrase I think you overused a little was "the Gilmore house" but hey, I can live with that! ;o)

And FINALLY they hug!! YAY!!
Wonderful way to write it (and yes, I know that is a phrase I might have overused). I can see it happening that way; with Lorelai just clinging to her mother and then Emily slowly hesitantly putting her arms around her.
And then you end it with a witty remark. :oD SO Gilmore girls!

This short story had everything. I'm very glad you wrote it and thanks for posting!
Oh! And the title is REALLY fitting!! Great job!

wow! that was so great I wish this had actually happened in this episode!

Very good! I nice cleansing of the soul for Mother's Day.

Excellent! I wish that Lorelai and Emily would have actually gotten a chance to talk like this on the show!

great story. I love how they opened up to each other. this is a good start to their reconciliation. You should continue with it. I'd read it. :)
