Being digital pen pals with your best friend’s ex should be a lot more awkward than this, Rory thinks. But when Dave sends her a comforting reply to her first-year-at-Yale-breakdown-rant only to finish the email with his very own breakdown-rant, she feels a lot less alone. Plus, who is Rory to deny him a secret line to the amazing girl that brought them into each other’s lives in the first place?

#what about a Rory Gilmore and Dave Rygalski friendship though... #call me captain of the Rory having male friends ship because I have so many ideas based on so many wasted potentials #this is an au idea where Rory and Dave start emailing each other for updates they can share with friends #only to end up really close friends themselves #I'm talking writing out nervous breakdowns over college to each other and getting the support they need #because you just know Dave would get homesick at some point or second guess his life decisions #as any student does #I kind of assume Dave to secretly be almost a male Rory #in that he isn't a carbon copy but that he too places a lot of value on achievements and is kind of an introverted nerd #I really feel like they could have connected platonically #also in this au Rory may or may not either help Dave get Lane back or help them stay close friends #rory gilmore #dave rygalski #binary brunettes #rory x dave #again PLATONICALLY #gilmore girls #gilmore girls au #my moodboards #my aus
