Title: Scars
Author: missmara
Fandom: Gilmore Girls
Characters: Jess Mariano and Luke Danes, minor appearance by Lane Kim and mentions of Liz Danes and Taylor Doose
Rating: R
Warnings: Mentions of child abuse.
Summary: Luke hadn't meant to see anything, but when he walked into the apartment and saw the marks on Jess' back, he couldn't tear his eyes away.
Notes: Liz Danes does NOT come out looking good in this. To me, the early eps that talk about Liz still make her seem like worse than just an airhead who can't handle raising a teenager as she was later portrayed as. To me, there were hints that she was at the very least emotionally abusive, and considering some of Jess' character traits, may have been physically abusive to some degree, or let boyfriends be physically abusive. And I had this image on my prompt table, so... yeah... a non-Ryan angst fic! I could be convinced to write another one in this universe, or to tie this universe into either my Ryan/Jess slash universe or 'Friends & Other Strangers' as backstory... since Liz hasn't really been talked about in either one... I play with the Gilmore Girls timeline slightly, since this takes place shortly after Jess came to Stars Hollow (before the car crash and subsequent return to New York even) but Lane is working at Luke's already.
