I originally published this elsewhere but I felt this needed some more mature content. What you should know is that in my story (originally called Balancing Act) Rory and Logan have been married for 3 years, have 3 kids and at the moment in their life Logan has been working in London while Rory has been at home in New York for a couple of months, they've begun to feel a little disconnected. Rory has flown over to London for a weekend, to work on them - and among other things this involves a bag full of sex toys. Essentially this a story of a fairly vanilla couple experimenting with BDSM and sex toys, no humiliation - just role play.
I truly hope you enjoy this. If you do, let me know. I have more ideas on what to put on this site concerning GG. I do not own Gilmore girls or any of the characters, however all the development in the characters past AYITL is my own.

After a long walk in the morning, going by Rory's list that listed all the things they ought to do to reconnect - answer the 36 deep questions, discuss their futures and confess to their secrets which they've been holding, and lunch, they returned to Logan's hotel room to rest. It really hadn't taken Rory very long to fall asleep, but after a couple of hours, Rory stirred in her place, and the sensation of Logan's fingers so close to her, reminded her that she really didn't come here to sleep.
"Hey," she turned to her back, looking around a little confusedly, trying to figure out how long she'd slept, as if afraid to miss something.
"It's almost 4," Logan replied, anticipating her question which she hadn't asked yet. He put his tablet down, deciding not to continue reading - it was work, nothing exciting or worth his time more than Rory was.
Her sigh of relief was audible - she hadn't wasted the entire day. Fixing things under a time limit wasn't the ideal scenario, but it was what they had - she liked to think that so far they'd been cautious with the time they had.
"So what should we do now?" Rory asked, wondering if he had any plans.
"Anything we want," Logan shrugged. Naturally he had plans for them for dinner, but that was hours away. "We still have a couple more questions to go through," he proposed. He'd found these questions surprisingly refreshing - these were not something people usually talked about and it took a certain seriousness to get through them - but they'd taken the time to try this, and he was glad they had.
"Okay," Rory turned to her stomach, and propper her elbow onto the pillow.
Logan pulled up the file on his phone again, he read through a couple that weren't too applicable in their case and chose another. "Well this one should be doable - list five positive characteristics of the other," Logan read out. Rory looked like she was thinking, and as she'd just woken he decided to give her a minute - "I can start," Logan suggested, and reflected Rory's position, placing his other hand on Rory's back, letting his thumb gently stroke her.
"You're a force of nature - in a good way. You actually manage to move people and things around so they end up liking you or working for your advantage. You really ought to be a leader, you know - an editor, a manager, CEO maybe?" Logan added.
Rory rolled her eyes. Based on some of her past experiences she was not exactly agreeing with it. But she did trust his opinion - it wasn't the first time he'd been right about things that she didn't necessarily see - like for example handling three kids under three.
"You're smart but I think we've already established that. You still look amazing. I've never been bored with you. And I absolutely love it when you're shy and blush," Logan said in a smug tone, adding in a whisper, "like this morning."
He glanced over her tall and slim form once again - he could never get tired of that body, her amazing sapphire eyes making him realize time and time again what an effect she had on him - he was addicted. God, how he'd missed having her in the same room.
When Logan had picked her up that morning from the airport she had been all flustered and red in her face but she hadn't outright told him why. It was only as Logan had seen her hide a ziplock bag of 'something' under her clothes in her suitcase when she was unpacking, when he'd confronted her. Rory had blushed again and hid in the bathroom, allowing Logan to see for himself. It was a big bag full of various sex toys. Logan had at that moment, feeling sympathetic for her embarrassment, only briefly looked at the bag, being more surprised than anything. Then Rory had admitted that she'd gotten searched at the customs, hence her embarrassment.
"I don't think that counts you now - blushing when embarrassed isn't necessarily a positive trait," Rory pointed out.
"Ah who cares - it is for me," Logan replied smugly, and stole a kiss from her lips anyways.
Rory pretend-groaned at his smugness - especially in the beginning of their relationship, it had been the thing that made her both hate him and adore him.
"I think you probably know all of this," Rory sighed. "All those girls you've dated in college, and later, have probably told you this a million times," Rory began. "You're handsome - it's like you age like fine wine almost," she said, and Logan let out a hearty laughter. Rory was in a way amazed that she was with someone this athletic,as she barely did anything other than get her exercise from playing with the kids. Though sure - lifting her daughter up made up a decent 16 lb weight bell. But Logan really took care of himself - he was thinner than he'd been back in college, muscles more toned but still lean, and he really had the stamina. She could just watch him for hours. Rory knew he didn't work out just for her of course - it was about his wellbeing and health, both physical and mental, mostly, thinking forward, but she sure appreciated living next to someone who provided such a feast for the eyes.
"Is that your way of saying you secretly have a thing for older men?" Logan laughed, unable to stop thinking of that comparison.
"Oh don't or I won't get Asher Fleming out of my head...," Rory replied, shaking her head, laughingly. But to her Logan still didn't look old - he was just a little different, firmer, less like a boy and a whole lot more man.
"Fine, fine," Logan said as his laughter subsided.
"Your smugness is irritating sometimes, but it works so well," Rory continued, biting her lip.
