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.

Lan Wangji is on patrol the night the guest disciples arrive and catches a man who claims to be the Jiang first disciple sneaking over the wall with alcohol. When informed that alcohol is forbidden, this miscreant only laughs and cracks a smile that stops Lan Wangji’s heart.
When this… this rogue brazenly takes a sip from one of the jars, then holds it out to Lan Wangji, offering the place where his lips had just been, LWJ’s heart starts back up again with a jolt.
He doesn’t really understand what makes him do it, but instead of reaching out with his sword and knocking the wine from the man’s grip like he /means/ to, he finds himself grasping for the jar with his empty hand, drinking from the spot where the stranger’s mouth had just been.

Wei Ying hasn’t really dated. He never gave it much thought: he’s been super busy the past few years, first with school then with work, and he just hasn’t met anyone he was so interested in that he’d rather spend time with them than with his friends!
But as more of those friends start to find serious partners (and therefore spend less time with WY), he starts to wonder if maybe there’d be someone out there for him, if he was actually looking.
Luckily, his bestest best friend (Lan Zhan) is one of the few without a partner, which means he still has plenty of time for Wei Ying.

HS sweethearts Wangxian eloping literally as soon as someone will grant them a marriage license, aka on LWJ’s birthday.

(Let’s just pretend there’s no such thing as waiting periods or whatever, it’s just like… you’re a legal adult, you can get married.)
It’s getting close to his birthday and a few of their friends are poking fun at straight-laced LWJ: what kind of cRaZy sHeNaNiGaNs is he going to get up to once he’s an adult? Is he going to get a pack of cigarettes lol?
LWJ on the outside: 😐 ridiculous. I suppose my brother and uncle will want to have a quiet birthday dinner.

LWJ on the inside: 😈 I’m going to skip class and marry the love of my life and no one can stop me

cw: a/b/o

WWX is a beta who runs a service rescuing well-to-do omegas from sudden heats. If an omega in his network finds themselves going into heat in a public or potentially compromising place, they text WWX their name & address and he makes sure to get them to a safe place.
He’s not the least bit affected by their scents. Has a notoriously useless nose! That plus his connection to the Jiangs makes him trustworthy enough that no omega he transports suffers any lasting damage to their reputation.
He works pro-bono, but the wealthy families usually tip very generously in exchange for his discretion. It works out well for everyone.

OK! Gonna give this a shot.

cw: a/b/o, mpreg, might veer into nsfw? I’m making this up as I go along! 🤠
It’s Friday night. Wei Ying is at his first college party, sitting on a couch, nursing his second terrible beer. He’d been looking forward to this, he thought, but after yet another day of radio silence from Lan Zhan, he’s feeling a little bit out of sorts.
He thought they were okay, after that night at Nie Huaisang’s party. Sure, they hadn’t really talked about what happened, but they’d still been texting every day since they parted for separate universities. At least, until earlier that week.

Here’s a #PregjiSeason story about post-canon LWJ trying to give his husband a baby.

In general, he and WWX try not to dwell on what might have been, and he knows that the two of them being here, now, together, IS enough.
He is entirely confident that raising a child together is not essential to their happiness.

WWX has made it abundantly clear to LWJ that the knowledge that A-Yuan survived to adulthood, that he had LWJ as a father figure, was so much more than he could ever have hoped for.
But LWJ also knows that what WWX allows himself to hope for is always significantly less than what WWX deserves.
