Since you asked: JATP Gilmore Girls AU! Or or or JATP oceans eleven AU.

More of the JATP GG AU, which I nearly forgot I made.

-Okay but you know the debutante ball? Luke got out before he was forced to do his, thank god, and he tells Rory she does not have to go through with his sham of gender performative nonsense just to appease her grandmother. But Rory is all 'eh what's the worst that could happen'.

-Emily has a minor meltdown when she realises Luke never gave Rory a middle name because HOW ARE THEY GOING TO ANNOUNCE HER FULL NAME WITHOUT A MIDDLE NAME LUKE?

-They go to Reggie's to brainstorm names. Reggie keeps swinging between Star Wars names and old people names, since 'Reginald is a classic, what's wrong with Ethel?'

-Alex is like: Luke stop trying to convince Rory to take Danger as her middle name.

-Eventually Rory goes over to the Molina house and asks Julie and Ray if it would be okay for her to use Rose as her middle name, because she's the best mother figure she's had.

-Yes there are many ugly tears.

-Luke also did not give himself a middle name and his mother pesters him for weeks and shoots down 'Danger' and 'Skywalker' as his middle name. He also can't ask Ray for his because like, then it would start to get creepy.

-So in a fit of frustration after the sixteenth phone call he steals Reggie's middle name, since Alex' is literally 'Christian' and nope. Emily is like: are you SURE? Yes, mom, he's sure.

-"Lorelai Rose Gilmore, daughter of Luke Eugene Gilmore and Robert Trevor Shaw" walks down the stairs with her dad to become a proper lady of society.

-Yes Luke wears a tux with tails and does not rip the sleeves off but only because Rory hid his seam ripper. Rude.

-Yes they go to Reggie's diner after and eat burgers while still wearing their gloves.

-Yes there are slightly less ugly tears when Reggie hears Luke borrowed his middle name.

-Yes Miss Patty and Babette quietly made jokes about how soon, they'd all be sharing last names instead.

-Alex has taken every dance class ever given by Miss Patty.

-For the longest time Emily and Mitch think Reggie and Alex are one single person. "The diner owner with the coffee and the plaid and the baseball cap."

-You just know the first time they meet Reggie and Alex they go home like: okay but which one does Luke have a crush on???

-Sometimes, Alex goes on one of his rants, and Reggie just leans on the counter with his chin on his hands and watches him with heart-eyes.

-Luke sometimes specifically eggs Alex on because he likes to see love-struck Reggie.
