thinking very angsty thoughts like

what if kevin’s father is somehow the reason for kevin’s death and maria can’t bring herself to forgive him, so she leaves him goes to rescue her father who doesn’t realize what’s happened until she gets there and cries herself to sleep like he hasn’t seen since she was little. maria buries the hurt/rage/betrayal/heartbreak/loss so deep that it sublimates into productivity that lasts her twenty years

and then that man shows up at her fucking gates

these fires are stressing me out so bad i might start writing again

#can you imagine #shes with tommy and this fucking guy shows up #if this were for the best friend agenda joel would also be here and have her back one hundred percent #ooooo this could be so much #like at this point she’s not on the intake team nor is she (unofficially) required to meet/approve newcomers for them to stay overnight #ofc the council PREFERS she approves and heavily considers her opinion #anyway one random day she hears of a group of three being brought in cold and starving after an especially harsh windstorm #she thinks nothing of it because she’s working with tommy to organize a wind-damage repair team #homegirl is from tornado country don’t you forget #a week goes by #she forgets about the new arrivals completely until she hears word that they’re a family of three and actually blood related #until maria and tommy and mateo and ellie and joel are eating in the dining hall #and ellie mentions a new kid is joining her class and his fun fact was that he came here with both his parents #which is kind of an asshole move if you ask her #and in her head maria is like… fair #but outloud she started to tell ellie she doubts he understands how assholeish that sounds yet #but she can’t get the sentence out #because a boy ellie’s age comes in wearing kevin’s face #no #wearing kevin’s father’s face #but it’s KEVIN’S eyes and lips and skin tone #and she can’t hear she can’t speak she can’t see anything but him #she can’t feel anything but the pit in her stomach digging itself deeper and deeper #kevin’s father walks in behind him #with a woman that looks like her on his arm #and then and then and then #i could drop five chapters on this easy #didn’t mean to make kev’s dad such an asshole but… here we are #tlou au #maria miller
