#[ insert its been 84 years gif here ]

[hypnotisedfireflies]

Hey Arien! Thank you for the follow :) Hope it's ok to send you some prompts in here! *inserts the titanic "it's been 84 years" gif* Please feel free to take or ignore as you wish. Some of these I mentioned already in the comments so apologies if you already have it in the works. There is absolutely no obligation nor expectation at all from me to fulfill these; I'm just happy to have a listening ear!

I always wondered what that Tess-Lachie roadtrip to Jackson was like, what it was like for her to get there when Joel is gone and also when he actually came back with Ellie. (On second thought I'm not sure I'm ready for that angst...)

"Never Have I Ever" with any combination of Joel/Tess/Tommy/Maria/Ellie/Lachie

Joel's POV in Missouri when he realizes he loves her

Modern AU where Joel's the contractor but Tess is a conveyancer for the project and still married to Mike (this one is admittedly evil to Mike, sorry. I couldn't stop thinking about what they would've been like had they met pre-mushrooms. I also want to know everything about Tess's life - she lived with a woman? Was she an orphan living in foster care? A nunnery??)

Thank you so much! I've been really enjoying your Spotify playlist and am super excited to read the new Tommy outtakes. <3

OKAY. This is one of the earliest asks I received when I first opened up prompts (there's a reference to The Knight of Cups there which dates it!) and I think I have actually gotten to almost all of them now, so let's go through them one by one.

Tess and Lachie roadtrip: A ficlet. I don't think I will ever reach this one as a fully-fledged fic of its own, but more of the journey of this will be alluded to in You Only Live Twice, which is probably the next fic I start after I finally finish Charro and SQ.

"Never Have I Ever:" Shots Fired!

Tess on uppers during the sweats: Blood Orange.

Joel's POV in Missouri: ... I will get there.

Modern AU: Snowqueen of Texas. Except I'm still mysterious about Tess's life because I can't give her secrets away for free. :P

Thank you so much for all your ideas, they really did power my brain and challenge me! I hope you enjoy how they eventually manifested.
