Title: Mementos
Fandom: Gilmore Girls
Rating: G
Notes: Dean Forrester/Rory Gilmore.


They used to be bitter reminders of what she’d never have; they were memories enshrined in ugly tears and sharpie labels. They were the lingering, bitter memories - the things she could neither rid herself of nor have.

Now, they’re mementos of their pasts. Once upon a time, she lost Dean, and Dean was married to the ghost of a lover who would never be enough. She was a Chilton girl, and Dean used to wear leather like a second skin.

Now, Rory wears his leather and touches like a second skin, then inhales the dust of library books at SCSU.
