Summary
Jess Mariano doesn’t belong at Chilton.
He knows it. The teachers know it. The fucking walls probably whisper it at night.
But here he is: fresh out of New York, bruised and restless, shoved into a blazer and handed a schedule full of AP classes he never asked for. Liz is playing house again, his new stepdad is trying to buy his affection with Audi keys and expensive bookbags, and Jess is doing his best not to burn the whole thing down.
When he left Stars Hollow, he didn’t expect to see her again.
Rory Gilmore. The girl whose car he crashed. Whose wrist he broke. Along with his uncle’s trust.
Now they’re classmates.
And Jess is starting to think fate doesn’t hate him. It just wants to watch him suffer.

Summary
"So, what does this mean for us? Are we...?"
“Well, what do you want, Jess?"
I want you, all of you. The good parts, the bad parts, everything. I want you in my life, Rory. He wanted to say but instead blurted out "Whatever you're willing to give me." Feeling like a weight had been lifted off him.
"And what are you willing to give me? Because I want you, Jess. I really want this to work this time."
"Then, we'll try our best to make it work. Both of us." Jess remarked, caressing her cheek now and staring right into her eyes as he spoke. "Really. I can't say I won't be an asshole at times but—"
"—And I can't say I'll be perfect either but—"
"—I'll try my best, I promise," They said in unison and laughed about it, their giggles being the only thing to echo in the dead of night. Jess smirked broadly at her and laced his hand over her shoulders, tugging her closer as he added.
"And if I don't, then you can just throw me in a lake or off a bridge."
"What about me? What if I suddenly am a jerk to you? What do I get?"
"A stolen gnome?"
or: a 6x18 AU in which rory and jess rekindle their relationship after the open house.

Summary
It was just to fill a hole; feed a need for them both. A pretend (and secret) engagement to cauterize the loneliness in them both.
No feelings involved.
Yeah, right.
Meanwhile, Spike is intent on tracking down the soldiers that put a chip in his head and enacting some very much needed comeuppance, and as luck would have it he's not alone in that goal.
