[bootlegtapes]

Hello! Welcome to the underground bootlegtapes. Stay a while, take a load off your feet, have a cuppa tea. Say hello, if you’re so inclined.

You can call me Ellie, Absalom, or Farren. I’m over 21 and study literature & writing. More below the cut.

I was previously heknowshowtolose, whateverwilburywilbury, and thelavendercats. I got rid of everything in 2022, but I am back now. That’s where most of my fics are from.

I tend not to go through the Wilburys tag on AO3. If you check the Wilburys tag on AO3, you can likely tell why. This means that unless I am made aware of a fic, I will not read it. I would love if you sent me fics, though!

If there is anything you want me to write, just ask! I’m always happy to take prompts. Be warned that they may take longer to write.

Sometimes, I hold "specials". These are mini-events/sprints I hold when I have time, where you are free to send in prompts, and I write a quick scene as quickly as I can. The turnaround on these is much faster; typically same-day.

This is not my main blog (so follows/likes can’t come from here). There’s a high chance we’re mutuals!

“Ellie, you have a lot of fics. I’m overwhelmed. Where do I start?”

I do! Here’s a list of my top picks.

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out. Has fluff and a lot of angst.

“Want a Cigarette?” Short. George and Bob share a cigarette.

Damn Legos. Roy/Tom, fluffy.

The Unsticking Time series. George, hurtling through time, with one constant: Ringo.

The Untitled Road Trip AU. Angsty and fluffy, all five Wilburys are on an impromptu roadtrip after Tom’s father is hospitalized. Good riddance.

…That In The Evening Night-Time Follows Day. Ringo and Bob, after George’s death.

Coping. A fix-it of sorts. Roy is in the hospital, and the others visit him.

“Losing Tom was huge – and is still huge for me. It’s like I lost my right arm.

Remembering this quote from Mike Campbell about Tom Petty ;-;
