   Summary

   "Tess found a certain amount of solace, in a fucked up, living through the fall of humanity sort of way, to wake up stiff and bruised and sad but at least there was a sleep bleary cowboy in the kitchen holding out a mug of warm coffee to her."

   For Joel and Tess, it wasn't a fairytale. But maybe it was something a little like love. This fanfic is a vignette-like prequel that explores the beginning of whatever it was that connected the two of them.
