gift fic: pumpkin mania (rory/jess)

This is my other gift from trickortreatex! :D

Title: pumpkin mania
Author: buries
Fandom: Gilmore Girls
Pairing/Characters: Rory/Jess, Luke/Lorelai, Lane/Dave, Paris, Taylor
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 6828
Summary: Pumpkin Mania is here! Stars Hollow’s annual pumpkin carving contest and auction is back for another grand season of competitive pumpkin carving and robust bidding!

This year, Rory does her best to try and persuade Jess to sign up, Lane works hard to dissuade Dave from participating, Lorelai tries to trick Luke into participating, and Paris, well… Taylor Doose may update the event’s terms and conditions to uninvite her next year.

This is amazing! It could be an actual episode of the show. Everything about it, from the voices to the plot, to the relationships was perfect and there aren't enough words to express how much I enjoyed it.
