AU Fiction

Professor Tom Hiddleston and Thalia Bareo place a wager on the FIFA World Cup 2018 outcome

Warnings: language, fluff, teasing

Word Count: 1725

This little drabble doesn’t offer any answers to “What’s Thalia been up to?” or “Who is Thalia dating?” This is just a summer Saturday, a little peek into her life…

If you don’t know the story of Thalia and Professor Tom, or how Professor Evans fits into all this, start at the beginning. Read Educating Thalia on WordPress.

Prologue 2018

“Bloody hell, that was clearly offside!”

With an indignant half-yell, Tom sets his chips bag down on the table with somewhat too much force. To his right, Thalia shouts her support.

“At least by a foot! Is the side referee blind or what?”

God, she truly is the perfect football companion, Tom thinks to himself with a grin. He’s infinitely glad that he can share the experience with her. Still giddy that England has made it to the quarter finals of the FIFA World Cup 2018, he’s practically bouncing in his seat with energy. He’s already dashed off to the loo twice, feeling like a little boy again, and eating as well as drinking too much—but so is the excited, gorgeous woman on the couch next to him.

I hate you people

@celticswan75 @youareadistraction @devikafernando

I read ONE comment. Just one...

And my 'shower writer thoughts' go CRAZY. Dammit y'all...

I should let you read my novel #wip. Let you help me figure out what's next cuz i am stuck...cuz just saying Professor Hemsworth gave me like 5 new ideas for the sequel. Y'all are the worst!

And by worst i mean best!

Have to share

We decided not to write it in the sequel, but @devikafernando and I had a little fun outlining a sexting scene with Thalia and one of her men. It basically came down to the punchline, and confusion, based on the fact that when i type 'Thalia,' my phone wants to autocorrect to 'Thanos.'

As in 'Strip for me, Thanos.'

@youradistraction I don't think he'd be too happy...

from the bottom of my heart

As I put on the finishing touches for Educating Thalia this morning, I don’t want it to end...  The story idea began when @devikafernando teased me with a photo of Chris, in glasses, in September 2016.  I wasn’t in the mood to write it, but we made jokes anyway.  Two days later I had 900 words about a sassy barmaid.  And that was it.  We let it go. The story came back in late January 2017, partially induced by a high fever during my winter flu.  This time it was real and it was on- we knew what we wanted and where the story was going.  And TBH, a lot of it was “how can I kill her now?” as we sent edits and chapters back and forth. 

I was terrified to share the thing.  Being totally knew to the Hiddles fandom, no one knew me, but I was welcomed with open arms!  I quickly became a regular on the Naughty Stair, and got pulled into the tease of sending photos back and forth.  (which for me is the best part of fandom!)  I’ve made some amazing friendships and got to know wonderful new people.  Thank you.

The story was an instant success, and I know it had nothing to do with our men.  Thalia Bareo is amazing.  She’s this real, kick ass woman.  Her size does not define her, and she lets nothing stand in her way.  No matter the outcome of the story, she comes out a winner in the end.  Strong, confident, and ready to walk forward...

I am blessed and honored to have worked so long, side by side, with Devika Fernando.  What an amazing, incredible woman!   I think one reason I hesitated last fall was I felt like “just” a fan fic writer; ‘why would a published author want to write with me?’  But her constant encouragement, comments of ‘*dead*,’ and her praise when I wrote Tom for the first time made it so worthwhile!  Working with Devika made my hobby of writing seem real.  In a few short months, we’ve written a true novel, and I got to tell a story I couldn’t have told on my own...   Our friendship has grown and I have learned so much from her.  She’s not just a friend, or a writing partner, she’s a sister, and I love her with all my heart.

To all the readers who commented on the tale, sent us your thoughts, and even created your own little stories, THANK YOU.  Bless the ones who waited patiently every Sunday and Wednesday for the story to post, and thank you from the amazing, LENGTHY, reviews.

Educating Thalia.  What an amazing ride this has been!  Thank you for following us on this journey, and know this experience will not be forgotten.

Love,

THANK YOU

@devikafernando and I wanted to take a moment simply to say ‘thank you’ for all of the love and support you showed for our collaboration series, Educating Thalia.  The stories have been read over 14,000 times!  (And for anyone who was keeping track of their ‘teams,’ Tom chapters always had higher readership than Chris chapters!)  That’s all @devikafernando; her Professor Dom Tom was so so damn hot.

To the readers who commented and reblogged the story, we owe you our deepest thanks for sharing your love of the story with others.   So many great discussions came from thoughts you shared with us during the writing process, and we loved the personality analysis chats you often brought to us.

Thank you for the amazing experience of sharing our words with you!
