Aurora, she/her. An alleged adult, a professional brainrotter and a certified mess. Lost in the TLOU multiverse of dreams and madness. The header art created by the amazing @kenobiwanx and commissioned by the lovely and talented @bumblepony

I can’t believe I’m finally able to publish this stunning fanart I’ve commissioned from the incredible @valevntine, because that means the impossible actually happened and I finished the first chapter of Sleep on the Floor. My first No Cordyceps AU for Maria and Tommy, where they meet by chance in LA, and the rest is history in the making.

Thank you @valevntine, for creating this piece with such care and attention to every detail. Your talent, dedication and kindness blow me away every time. And I know I’ve told you this a million times (and honestly I will never tire of saying it), but you’re a magician and interacting without you is always such a singular joy ❤️

He parked the cart by a toothpaste display and tiptoed to her side. With practiced ease, he tugged the crinkled list from her pocket and nudged his shoulder against hers. “Come here often, gorgeous?” Maria giggled, her fingers brushing against his wrist. “Smell this.” She pushed the yellow bottle under his nose, and the air filled with a soft, flowery scent, underscored by a warm, fruity note. Nice, but foreign. He shook his head. “I like the one you have now more.” “But this one’s for you.” She squeezed the bottle, and a cold, creamy drop of lotion slipped across the back of his palm.  “Ups.”  She bit her lip, her eyes dancing. Silly excitement buzzed off her like the fizz of champagne, sweeping him up with it. He snapped the bottle shut, tossed it back onto the shelf, and rubbed the lotion into his hands. “Thanks. I smell fabulous now.”  He’d get his payback later.  Maria took a step closer and smoothed his rumpled collar back into place, her thumb lingering on the base of his throat. “Yes, you do.”  She lifted her gaze, drawing closer. A strand of hair slipped down her cheek. He leaned in and brushed it behind her ear. “Yeah?”

Got told to try out this site so here we are

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Summary:

The slamming door rattles the clock on the kitchen wall, the second hand twitching momentarily, but invariably it continues its march forward in time. Javier's heavy footsteps echo menacingly in the relative silence as he advances down the long hallway to where Joel waits. A trickle of sweat rolls from the base of Joel's head down the line of his neck until it gets absorbed into the already damp collar of his shirt.

This is my breakdown of what Joel may have been thinking during the scene between him and his father (Javier) at the beginning of season 2, episode 6, "The Price."

I have really wanted to explore this moment since it aired, and I'm so happy that I finally finished it.

“Hold still, your strap’s twisted,” he said, reaching past her shoulder. He eased his fingers under the fabric and set it in place, his knuckles ghosting against her collarbone. “There you go.” “Thanks.” She brushed her hand over the fabric, still faintly warm. “It’s so dark here.” “Crazy, huh? It’s almost like… it’s still the night.” She smacked his forearm. “Oh, shush.” He chuckled, adjusting the right strap of his backpack higher, and rolled his shoulder with a quick, practiced motion. His jaw tightened for a breath and loosened again. What the hell did he put in there? His collection of belt buckles? He pulled a flashlight from his cargo pants and clipped it to the strap of his backpack. A bright stream of light burst through the darkness. “Ready to explore?” he asked. “Oh, yes. I can’t believe I can finally cross the Grand Canyon off my bucket list.” He turned to her, eyebrows raising. “Wait… It’s your first time?” “What? You’ve been here before?” “I’ve been all over.” He shrugged with a smile as if Around the World in Eighty Days was written about him. “Okay, close your eyes.” She arched an eyebrow. “Are you so tired of me already that you want me to tumble all the way down into the canyon and break my neck?” “I’ll show you the way, smartass.” He reached out his hand, the corners of his lips curling into a crooked smile. “Come on. It will be worth it, I promise. I’ll even narrate the whole path for you.”

i love project hail mary bc ryland grace is not a hero. He is awkward and scared and when faced with the choice of sacrificing his life to save thousands of people he said no. Idk its just nice to see like a very human main character onscreen. Like realistically we are not all captain america

(and yes hes brave later, but thats because he had to be. Thats because he loves rocky. And really thats what his cowardice teaches us - to be a hero is to love)
