Hey remember when this was in my inbox? Cause I didn’t. 

But OMG this would be AMAZING, and I would totally write it. He’d drive her SO MAD. (pun intended. Probably who drives when is one thing she fights over. Also ERU Manwe of COURSE we’re taking my car have you seen the gas mileage on yours??) 

Some fun moments: 

Yavanna: “Look, did you see those trees?! This forest is so great!” Manwe: “I was looking at the birds. I guess the trees were okay too.” 

Yavanna’s three hour rant about the Many Ways in which that livestock truck they drove by was Incredibly Terrible. Manwe tunes her completely out. They both are too distracted and miss the next exit and don’t notice for a good 20 minutes, then are mad at each other for missing it. 

Where to stop for meals? “But according to my schedule it works best if we stop at THIS upcoming exit to eat and get back on the road by dark!” “That place doesn’t have ANY vegetarian options lets just go a bit farther.” “But Yavanna, we’ll be late if we do that!” *glares at him while driving long enough that it’s terrifying for too many reasons, including that she won’t look at the road. Manwe relents.” 

*the few times a day they both remember why they really get along better with Varda and/or Aule around too*

Political debates that neither of them even know why they started, or why they can’t stop.

Turning on some music to avoid political debates. Never agreeing on the music.

Listening to NPR instead. Causes more debates, but they actually agree on a few things/criticize the same things about NPR, and cling to them as conversation for like a day and a half. 

Also though they do have fun talking about how great Varda and Aule are, sometimes how terrible Aule is, but it’s still fun. 

“Yeah I didn’t like him at all when I first met him. Don’t you DARE tell him.” “Me either! And if you tell him, I’ll kill you. Actually he probably knows. But still, I would kill you.” 

“I liked Varda when I first met her.” “Yeah, we all knew that. And it still took you ages to take her on a proper date.”

“You know, speaking of Aule, at least YOU don’t make the car a mess on road trips. Have you seen the way he eats? Last time we drove just 45 minutes he spilled soda on the seat AND got crumbs in the car. He did clean it himself, but still.” “I sympathize, you should have seen our dorm freshman year of college. Actually, any year of college.”

(In which Tulkas doesn’t understand introversion at all, and Namo’s Protective Big Brother moment ends up being unnecessary.)

Varda had fallen into the habit of hosting regular teas, once Yavanna and Estë had invented the stuff, so everyone could get to know each other better outside their official work. The only reason Námo had agreed to come today was because Irmo had relentlessly asked him to, and because Irmo and Nienna were both going.
