Benny And Joel - Tumblr Posts

Ahhhh! So glad you're finally posting these, haha.

Everyone go check out @mote-of-star-dust's art - she has illustrated so many truly great scenes from so many wonderful TLoU fanfics! I am very fortunate and lucky that she chose to draw Benny & Joel, and it brings me so much joy every time I look at it (it may or may not be my phone lock screen).

#4 - Benny and Joel!

This one is based off a scene in Go Your Own Way by Nandorluna - this novel length adventure-love story is beautiful and moving and I love everything about Nandorluna's character Benny.

Waiting for Ellie cost them both precious minutes, pushing them behind schedule for the day's tasks. They set off for the stables together, Joel's rifle slung comfortably across his back, his spare now entrusted to Benny as a temporary loan, sparing her a dash back to her own house to arm herself. The first rays of the sun were just cresting the distant mountain ridges as their boots crunched across the gravel, casting a blush of warmth on their faces, a cool breeze, invigorating rather than biting, ruffling their hair. A small smile tugged at Joel's lips as he watched Benny pause in front of the butcher shop. There, defiant among the gravel and wooden steps, bloomed two tiny yellow flowers. With a quick bend she plucked them both, tucking one behind her ear and holding the other out to him. “Stick it in your beard,” she offered, and he wasn’t entirely sure if she was joking. He raised an eyebrow, feigning offense. Still, his fingers lingered on the flower, small and delicate in his hand, and when she wasn't looking he placed it carefully in the pocket of his denim overshirt.

Such a simple but memorable moment. I just adore this whole story and I'm excited to jump into Part 2!
