    Summary

    Only now the reply is burned onto his retinas ‘Dear Mr. Mariano, We are delighted to inform you that your short story ‘Truant’ has been accepted for publication in our fall edition…’ He's going to be in print and not in some little indie zine either, the Paris Review is a respected journal, perhaps even the journal. It has a less than one percent acceptance rate. They've published work by Phillip Larkin, Jean Genet, fucking Kerouac. Publishers read it. Literary agents read it. Rory might read it!

    Summary

    It's been a summer since they both invited themselves over to Rory's house- now starting their senior year, Paris and Jess find themselves drawn to each other by circumstance. Jess hadn't intended to get a job in a Hartford bookstore, but Taylor Doose had made sure nobody in Stars Hollow would take him on. Paris is doing research for an extracurricular project and realises Jess might be the missing piece.

    Set in the beginning of season 3, runs parallel to the show. Inspired by Paris and Jess' dynamic in 'There's The Rub'
    Title taken from 'Cannock Chase' by Labi Siffre.

    Summary

    Liz never told Luke what trouble Jess got into before he was sent away. Never told him it wasn’t the first time she had sent him away. Didn’t tell him that a year previously she had sent him to Woodsboro, California to live with his cousin Sidney Prescott. At fifteen turning sixteen Jess was dragged into a serial killers game and lived. His mother blamed him.

    When he arrived to Luke’s he was angry and closed off. Picking fights and getting into trouble, because the worst had already happened and he lived through it. The first time he left town hadn’t been to build a relationship with his estranged father but instead because Sidney called. Ghostface was back.

    With more friends dead and too many close calls he returned to the girl he loved. But like all good things in his life it didn’t last. He fled again. The town thinks they have got rid of him for good. Until they got the call. Jess was hurt, badly. And tapes were found. Ghostface had been filming from the start.
