aslkjdsa Hi!! Glad to see yet another shipper! Also, please don't cry, I'll get scared and run away.

Hmm in terms of hcs.... I don't have much since my interest now is a bit more cursory, but I've briefly humored some scenarios/hcs while I was actively shipping them so here they are. I hope it's at least entertaining!

• Kate bores me thoroughly, so naturally, I much prefer any ending that has he dead OR, the one where Gabe and David die, but she lives. Either way, in my mind I've done a bit of historical revisionism and came up w an ending where Javi and Clem head out together to find AJ. I want them to stick together, especially if you spent the entire game doing everything to be with her, it only makes sense that he'd follow her away from the place where he lost his family at.

• Honestly, I wouldn't have minded if they went to get him from the ranch and Javi died afterward, I just. SO BADLY wanted to see how Clem reacts to how Javi treats AJ and tries to calm him down among all the fiery chaos. Since they wouldn't have been able to go to Richmond, I think they should rebuild together for the sake of AJ.

• It's the zombie apocalypse, laws don't matter, and I think the nature of their relationship development is gonna be a fun mess once Javi finds himself in an internal moral battle while Clem, with a quite shaky grasp on social norms and still a bit of innocence in her, is only begrudging about her feelings because of her 'Dont Get Attatched' rule. (+ I love the idea of Javi being completely out of his element as he tries to figure out what to do/how to act/which rules he can apply to his emotions and the entire situation because he really cares for clem and doesn't want to cause any harm. He can't treat any of it the same way he did with Kate, which is a win to me.)

• As she comes to accept it, Clem is in constant 'Try To Woo Javi' mode but she's a teen which already makes her awkward but then she's also clueless about romantic relationships so it's the equivalent of a very aggressive mating dance while Javi is panicking the entire time. She's stubborn enough, she'll wear him down eventually. (It's also funny to think of her stunted reactions of like. bluntly teasing/bullying Javi+ trying to deflect or deny anything that could be read as affection, turning into Just That but now she's actively pursuing a relationship. Clem has 0 swag.)

• I'm rarely interested in parent-focused stories but the idea of them struggling and trying super hard to do a good job for AJ is endearing to me.

• Another hc I enjoy is Clem becoming the center of Javi's world, a certain possessiveness coming from it as she (and AJ) turn into the one thing he really has left.

• In general, I love any scenario that has Clem learning about Adulthood thru Javi while he acts as her guardian (dad) AND her equal (husband). What if Clem finds condoms while Javi and she are scavenging a pharmacy and secretly keeps them? What if she goes out of her way to read up about sex in an attempt of being seen as mature enough by Javi? (and so on and so forth...)

• you can't tell me Clem isn't completely touch-starved. We've seen her grow a soft spot for Gabe (amazingly), so you cannot convince me that eventually, she becomes quite affectionate. Her emotional availability is very interesting to me, she's sort of jaded but still, someone loving and capable of making/wanting/keeping relationships with others, and we see it with AJ and every other guardian figure she's had in her life up until that point, where she sought to sometimes even impress them.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, I never finished S4 so anything down the line is a mystery to me/casually thought of in my mind.

N e ways, I'd like to hear your hcs if you ever post em, and thanks for the ask!
