   Summary

   Set before, during, and after A Year in the Life, this story traces the quiet, complicated years that shaped Rory Gilmore and Logan Huntzberger—and the choices that followed.

   Beginning in Fall, with flashbacks reaching back to Hamburg and the moments that refused to stay in the past, the narrative unfolds through Rory and Logan’s alternating perspectives as memory, timing, and unfinished love begin to blur together.

   How did they arrive at that infamous autumn night in New Hampshire?
   And what, if anything, came after?

   A character-driven exploration of second chances, family expectation, ambition, and the fragile space between the lives we choose and the ones that keep choosing us. (Chapters are relatively short + I've added soundtracks for each chapter because Amy Sherman-Palladino is great with music)
