The Documented Adventure of A Sheltered Kobold in Tennessee: Part 1 (Further Pics in Reblogs!)

Me and @domesticangel celebrated our 3rd anniversary in the Pigeon Forge/ Gatlinburg area this past week. I don’t usually enjoy taking pictures of myself, so instead I let [insert name of personal choice here] do my touring for me. He got to meet many new people and get his own stupid little tourist souvenirs. He got called a loser by our very gay Dick’s waiter.

[panlight]

Okay so Emmet ideas from someone who lives in the Appalachia and who regularly goes to the Smokies and the Dollywood area

Emmet’s from Gatlinburg so he is very country but not the bad way, he’s a redneck hick and proud but he’s not gonna call you slurs for being gay or whatever

his family has know Dolly Parton’s family for generations and his biggest flex is he has scheduled brunch meets up with Dolly

he knows every Dolly Parton song by heart

him and Rosalie are season pass holders at Dollywood and every time they go he gets emotional about how much his home has grown

him and Rose rent/own a cabin in the Smokies and he shows her around all his old spots and tells her lots of stories back from when he was human

during the Tennessee wildfires a couple years ago he came down and help with the evacuations, the rescues, and the recovery efforts cause he loves his hometown so much

he’s a big supporter for animal conservation especially for black bears, they may have killed him but he will protect them with his immortal life

he loves black bears with a passion (it’s a personality trait in the Smokies)

whenever he decides to go to college again his top choice is UT because he loves being a Vol

on the folk hero thing: if you encounter a bear and feel threatened, start singing Jolene and Emmet will appear, distract the bear and walk you to safety

sorry for all this but your post made me go slightly insane with these ideas and I had to share

Thank you for blessing us with your Emmett ideas!

hello, i’m a very new richonner (started watching twd in december). I also read a lot of your work en ff.net, and every one is talking about tennessee can i know what it’s about and if it’s available to read ?

Hi, and welcome to the fandom! Hope you’re enjoying it here! 🥰

So Tennessee is an AU fic I wrote a while back. I had to take it down, but I can send you a PDF if you’d like. Here’s the summary:

On a whim, Michonne Godard has moved away from the place she called home to settle near Gatlinburg, TN. She's looking to be alone, but her neighbor Rick's sole purpose seems to be making sure that she never is. And eventually, she finds that she may not want him around, but she just might need him. Based on the short story, North Country, by Roxane Gay. (Richonne AU.)

If that sounds like something that might interest you, just shoot me a DM with your email address and I’ll send. (And either way, thank you so much for reading my work! ♥️)

@ink-sans0fficial is going nuts over some fictional gay men kissing and will not shut the hell up about it

I fell down like a fucking moron at Anakeesta, Gatlinburg Like a stupid idiot because I thought it was a good idea to run with long ass pant legs.

One of my cats drank the water that was left after my shower.

The same cat also licked the faucet.

Did you happen to get to go through Knoxville? I have family in the area and it's a such a cool place! They have giant gold ball AND a street called Gay Street!!! (And other cool things but those are my chosen highlights)

We stayed in Sevierville, so I’m pretty sure we drove through Knoxville but we didn’t stop. We only had two full days in Tennessee so I didn’t have a ton of time to explore. I hiked up to Rainbow Falls one day and Arch Rock another. We also went across the Skybridge in Gatlinburg.

Hi, can you help me find a fic where Michonne moves to a cabin in the middle of nowhere, Tennessee (?) after leaving her fiance Negan and Rick is her neighbor who coaxes her back to life. He is a carpenter and Lori is his ex.

Just say you won't let go (Rated G) [Julie/Luke]

Summary: Hey, Julie

You're the heart and soul 'round here, it's plain to see

in which Julie has a second chance with her boys, and then another

we will fight to shine together (bright forever) (Rated G) [Bright Lighting Guy/Rob from the Orpheum]

Summary: “Hey,” Chris says, walking up to the boy. “What are you doing?”

“Oh,” he puts the dandelions down and stands up. “Hi. I’m trying to make a flower crown, but I don’t remember how.”

“Cool. I’m Chris, I live--” he points to his house. “Over there.”

The boy gives him a lopsided smile. “I’m Rob. I’m staying with my grandparents for the summer.”

~

or: the rob/bright lighting guy fic literally nobody asked for but i wrote anyways. enjoy gays, bring ur tissues

what happened when (Rated G) [Alex/Luke]

Summary: Before Julie and the Phantoms, before the guys became ghosts, before Sunset Curve -- they were Luke and Alex. Not 5 feet apart cause they're totally gay.

who cares if one more light goes out? (in a sky of a million stars) (Rated T) [Ray/Rose]

Summary: Rose moves in across the street when he’s eight and she is seven. Their parents push for them to play together, because that’s what parents do. They’re not wrong about it though. The two of them get on like a house on fire and some of his happiest memories from his childhood are just him and Rose, sitting in the large oak tree behind their houses. Hidden up in the branches, between the millions of dark green leaves, they played together.

or: The first and the last time Ray ever kissed Rose.

we can forget the world (just you and me) (Rated T) [Alex/Willie]

Summary: “This was the first place I ever came out to someone,” Alex says, spinning around and taking in the tree house.

together we can take on the world (Rated G) [Alex/Reggie]

Summary: Alex Mercer meets Reggie Peters on October 8, 1983, which means that two days have passed since Reggie's sixth birthday, because Reggie is a Libra according to the magazines that his mom reads when she gets Reggie to paint her toenails. He’s also just moved to Los Angeles, California from his hometown of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, a small town in the mountains, and he’s told Alex Mercer about all of this in the three minutes that they’ve known each other, and he might be the loudest, most obnoxious boy that Alex has ever met, and he absolutely has to be Alex’s new best friend.

The Peters family moves in down the street from the Mercers in 1983, and so begins the rest of their lives.

Long Live (Can I start another life with you?) (Rated T) [Julie/Luke]

Summary: It's all too much for one day: first a muffin, then more heartbeats. Julie just needs some time to think. If Luke runs after her to sit by her side so she doesn't lose it, she won't complain.

Except afterwards, he starts acting weird. Very weird. And months later, she's tired of letting him keep his distance.

She can’t do this. Not right now. Not today.

She jumps back on her feet.

The excited grin falls from Luke’s face. She doesn’t try to catch it.

“I – I think this is too much. I need some time. Alone. Sorry.”

Then she runs. She runs past the calloused fingers reaching out to her. Past Reggie and the door, past carved pumpkins on porches and Cornelia Street.

She just runs.

Roses (Rated G) [Emily & Luke, Alex/Luke]

Summary: It becomes a sacred place she shares with her son. Mitch is usually off at work from dawn until six o’clock, but Emily’s working from home for now. She works as a florist’s shop right outside the neighborhood. So she brings home seeds and little flowers and other cuts from the store; she and Luke will spend hours out in the dirt, planting seeds and making mud pies and Luke will babble about whatever happened in daycare and make up stories about the different flowers.

Somewhere Only We Know (Rated T) [Nick/Carrie]

Summary: Nick Danforth-Evans met Julie Molina when he was six years old. He had no idea how much an impact that afternoon would have on his life.

___

A journey through Nick Danforth-Evan's life as experienced in the safety of his backyard hide away.

The Itty Bitty Details (Rated T) [Alex/Willie]

Summary: “Did I forget to mention William, I also get your soul,”

Willie could feel a stinging feeling and a purple stamp appeared on his hand. When the stamp appeared he could no longer remember who Alex was. The name meant nothing to Willie now.

Or 5 times Willie knew Alex and one where Alex knew Willie

you're the only one who makes me (my wildflower) (Rated T) [Bobby/Reggie]

Summary: The tree was Reggie's safe space, and Bobby was his safe person. He could escape all his troubles there, except for one nagging thought - did he have feelings for his best friend?

Dying complicated things.

because i've known you so long, i know every cadence and what they mean (Rated G) [Alex & Julie, Julie/Luke]

Summary: Alex and Julie have always lived right next to each other. Through highs and lows, they grow up together. Also, 5 times Luke kisses Julie and it doesn't count plus 1 time Julie kisses Luke and it does count.

Alternatively, the Juke 5+1 fic from Alex's POV. Strap in, folks.

Someday (I'll See You Again) (Rated T) [Alex/Willie]

Summary: They’re wrong. Alex, you are not a failure. You’re incredible. You’re smart. You’re funny, and the best friend I could ask for. You’re a wicked talented drummer and you have a beautiful voice. And more important than all of that, is that you’re you, Alex. And the you you are is wonderful, and lovable and perfect. If your parents can’t see that, that’s their own fault. But I swear, Alex. If you’re afraid of them, I need you to tell me. You have to be safe.” Willie’s voice had gone desperate by the end. Alex deserved to know how freaking amazing he was and the fact that his parents didn’t bother to tell him, and actively worked to tear him down instead, was infuriating.

But Willie also worried about him. He’d worried about Alex since the first time he heard Mr. Mercer shouting through the window, a worry that never really went away. Not with the way Alex automatically straightened up when his parents were mentioned, as if he could hear his dad lecturing him about appearances from miles away. Not with the way Alex looked when he was with them, perfectly pieced together and falling apart at the seams, eyes distant and shoulders tense. Willie was pretty sure he had worrying about Alex etched in his bones by this point.

The Energy Never Dies (Rated T) [Gen Fic]

Summary: Well, I ain't always right, but I've never been wrong

Seldom turns out the way it does in a song

Once in a while, you get shown the light

In the strangest of places if you look at it right

--- Scarlet Begonias, Grateful Dead

Four moments across time in the loft of the Molina's garage.
