Review:
After Rory and Logan break up, Paris makes Rory a proposal, complete with PowerPoint presentations and charts with titles like "A Historical Analysis of Gilmore Dating: Two Decades of Disaster." And a bibliography, which was the genius touch, because everyone knows Rory can't resist a good bibliography.
Every time I read this fic, I'm simply blown away by how Jae nailed Paris and Rory's (but especially Paris's) characterizations. Their voices are so perfect that I could actually hear them talking along with the dialogue, which is just as sparkling and hilarious as the early seasons of the show. Mix in the fact that Paris's proposal (and Rory's determinedly fair-minded review of same) is so thoroughly awesome that it sold me on a pairing I'd never previously considered and a positively hilarious (and sweet and insightful) cameo by Lorelei, and you have a fast, funny, and very enjoyable take on how Rory and Paris could actually end up together.
