Why this must be read: Ah Stars Hollow, the place pretty much anyone would want to live if you're of the small town inclined. Yet what if a nuclear war was unleashed on Earth? How would Stars Hollow and our favorite residents fare? This stunning fic offers one scenario. Fic of this nature should always be applauded. It takes the world of Gilmore Girls and thrusts upon it a frightening real world possibility and to tell this particular story though the eyes of Lane Kim's is inspired.

Lane's mouth went dry and she took her stale bun and her tea out onto the porch, where there was a bench and an old wrought-iron table. She took off her glasses and closed her eyes. Her head still felt big and heavy, but she couldn't tell if that was the concussion or just a residual headache. Her glasses sat crookedly on her face now, and she couldn't get them bent back the right way. It was probably a lucky thing that they weren't broken. She wondered how long it would be before she could safely go to sleep. Burrowing under a mountain of blankets sounded really good right now.

The screen door creaked. "Lane?"

She glanced up; Lorelai looked blurry and shadowed. "Yeah?" Lane put on her glasses and Lorelai's moonlit face resolved into a frown.

"I'm sorry. That couldn't have been any more tactless if I'd had 'It's the End of the World As We Know It' playing in the background."

"Those hacks? Please, it should be 'London Calling' at the very least." Personally, Lane had listened to a lot of Morrissey, until the batteries on her stereo ran down.

Lorelai sat down, sighing. "We shouldn't have done that."

Lane looked away. "No, it's fine. You should do whatever you want."

"We shouldn't make you uncomfortable."

Lane had no response to that. She took a sip of tea.

"Come on," Lorelai said. "Come back to the kitchen." She looked around to check for anyone listening, and added, "I have a secret stash of Oreos."

"Is this because somebody tried to kill me today?" Lane asked.

Lorelai stared at her for a moment, and then she smiled, almost genuinely. "Yes, it's the new rule. If someone tries to kill you, you get chocolate."

"Sounds like a good rule to me."
