Has anyone written a Gilmore Girls AU where WWX and Sizhui are a charming witty single-DILF & Son duo living in a small town?
WWX participates in a years-long flirtation with LWJ, the handsome & surly owner of the local diner who has a major soft spot for WWX, & spoils A-Yuan.
WWX manages a historic inn, where he works with his dear friends WQ and WN. They’re like a family to him. (His dream is to open up his own inn with the Wen siblings; he wants to renovate the dilapidated old B&B the locals jokingly call “the Burial Mounds”.)
He ran away from his rich family years ago, but now is in occasional contact with them for Sizhui’s sake.
And for Sizhui’s sake, he swallows his pride and asks his family for a loan to send his son to the elite Cloud Recesses school.
Jiang Cheng agrees, under the condition that they come for weekly dinners at the family estate, Lotus Pier.
((JC, JYL, & JZX don’t correspond perfectly with the Gilmores, but I think the energy is right: JC has some personality traits in common with Emily Gilmore.))
Also, the juniors each clearly of correspond to one of Rory’s bfs: Ouyang Zizhen is Dean, Jingyi is Jess obviously (he’s even related to Diner Guy), and Jin Ling is Logan.
This also works with LWJ as Lorelai and WWX as Luke. LWJ and Sizhui have to attend weekly dinners with LQR and LXC.
