another two years gone (spent forever letting go)

Jackson Hole sat at the base of two mountain ranges, with long, winding rivers that ran around its perimeter. The rolling fields seemed to go on forever and ever, full of bright wildflowers and blooming butterweeds. It was breathtaking to stand on top of the hill and look down at their new home. 

It was the kind of shit people would paint pictures of. 

It sort of made her want to throw up. 

“Whadda’ ya say, kiddo? Ready to go home?” Joel asked. 

Home.

He made it sound so fucking simple. 

“Yep.” She forced a smile onto her face that she hoped looked believable. “Let’s go, old man.” 

OR: After Salt Lake City, Ellie and Joel return to Jackson and try to build a life. Sometimes it’s hard to let go of the past.

its important to write fanfiction no one cares about 👍

[fabbyf1]

hii! I'm super new into f1 and lestappen, and I read ur fic the intercontinental (chef's kiss I'm so in love) and i was wondering if you've got any recs in a similar vein? or even just the best lestappen fics that everyone should read?? currently bingeing all ur fics and I'm so so so in love thank u so much for sharing ur words with us ❤️❤️

ooooh ok, well there are a few mafia fics, all of which are amazing, though my personal favourite is l'amour et la violence by @eaurouge-sangnoir

As for the best lestappen fics everybody should read - go through everything @fabbyf1 and @drivestraight has written, and you'll be pretty close to getting through the must reads!

and of course, every other Sunday, though I imagine you've already read that!

happy reading ❤️

glad to hear from you! i love all of your work so im excited to check out your TLOU fic🫶🏽

time is crazy, it just keeps going whether we’re ready or fully conscious of it or not.

i feel like we’re in the same boat, i don’t write i edit but it’s been a full year since i’ve made anything and i can’t even tell you what i’ve done or where the time has gone. and i’ve tried to get back into it but there’s just this mental block and being out of the editing space for so long i don’t even know where i would begin. but i want to.

i’m happy that you’re still able to write and put out work (f1 or not!) sorry for venting to you but i am glad to see you back on here!

yes, you get it bestie!! i'm so glad you're here and that you love my work! and i know you'll be able to get back into editing one day. you just have to take all the time you need to get into the right headspace!

did something bad (why's it feel so good)

“Look at me,” Ellie said, watching as Joel took a deep breath and finally met her eyes. That voice in the back of her head that always warned her against danger or threats was screaming at her to fucking listen. “You’re... lying to me.” 

“El—” 

“Why are you fucking lying to me, Joel?” 

“I’m not—” 

“Stop!” Ellie screamed, stomping her foot. “Just stop.” 

OR: Ellie wakes up in a car after Salt Lake City, and Joel tells her the truth about the fireflies.

hi bestiessss 

it’s been a while, hasn’t it? i keep disappearing off the internet, and i’m sorry for that. that’s never something that i intentionally do... it just happens. life has been pretty crazy lately, and i’ve been feeling really down about my writing. and when that happens, it’s easier to stay off tumblr and pretend fanfiction doesn’t exist.

but that’s not the person i want to be. 

writing is so important to me, and it’s something that has brought me joy for most of my life. i want to get back into the groove of consistently writing and feeling comfortable in my writing skills, no matter what that looks like. 

i know i’ve owed you all an update on the mastermind fic since october, and i sort of can’t believe it’s been that long. time is a really weird thing. i never wanted to leave a wip untouched for that long, and i know everyone thinks i’ve abandoned it, but i really want to try and get myself into a place where i feel confident enough to start writing for it again. 

if i updated it right now, i don’t think i’d be doing justice to the story. 

it deserves me at my best, because it’s one of the fics i’m most proud of. 

the thing is: i’m very out of practice. other than the few one shots i’ve put out since october, i really haven’t been writing at all. and writing is very much... a muscle that you have to stretch and work on constantly. it can easily slip through your fingers when you’re not paying attention. it’s also very easy (for me, at least) to get stuck in my head and feel bad about my writing the longer i go without using it. 

so, long story short, i want to try to start getting back into writing. 

i have been reading a lot of fanfiction for The Last Of Us fandom (game & show) and i want to try my hand at that. with the amount of followers i have here, i’m sure there is some crossover between F1 and TLOU fandoms - but i would never want to force it on anybody. i don’t want an AO3 email to go out from my main account and for someone to get their hopes up, only to realize it’s for a different fandom they’re not interested in. (i’ve been there, and it sucks.) 

so, i’ve created a sideblog and side AO3 account to post my TLOU content on. so that i'm not forcing you to look at or read things you're not interested in.

if this is something that you'd be into, i’d love for you to read the little one shot i’ll be posting over on that account soon. and if you’re not, that’s TOTALLY okay. i will not take any offense to it. i don't read things outside of my fandoms, and i wouldn't expect you to, either. (although, i highly recommend playing the game and/or watching the show if you haven't lmfao)

i am not abandoning this blog, my fabby ao3, or F1 in general.

i still love the sport with my whole heart, and want to participate and write fanfic for it. i am not going anywhere. i just want to try my hand at something else to get my creative juices flowing again (...ew? that’s such a gross expression lmfaoooooo) 

anyway, for anybody who cares (absolutely no pressure):

side ao3 account: @ fabbee  side blog: @fabbeewrites 

i love you, besties. i promise i am not going anywhere. i’ll just be crying over daddy joel and ellie in a different corner of the internet. i am still here to cry over lestappen with you anytime you want.

holy shit they finally existed in the same space and looked at each other again, its been 700 years

[fabbyf1]

i have yet to see max act normal around charles like what was the thumbs up for i am in literal tears

[fabbyf1]

i think people should be required to read up on fandom history of censorship and why ao3 was founded in order to use ao3. too many people going "ao3 shouldn't allow certain things!" nowadays.

[fabbyf1]

in my heart. this is mark's jumper

Hiiii I just wanted to tell you that if you ever keep writing "Now You're Mine (It Was All My Design)" my friends and I will be the happiest people in the world and will be screaming, crying, throwing up. We never stop talking about that fic and how even incomplete it's one of our favorites. Of course, it's not to pressure you or anything! I just wanted you to know 🫶

You're one of my favorite writers and I love your lestappen fics SO MUCH. I hope everything is going well for you! muah ❤️

i promise that i will update it one day, bestie! i'm not writing anything right now, but as soon as i start again i will dedicate my time to it! i'm so glad you love it so far.
