Summary
"“It’s ok, baby girl,” he says in a breath as he shuts his eyes, trying to keep himself upright against a surge of heartache. He hears the words as if someone else has said them, like they didn’t leave his lips – but immediately feels the truth in it. The wall he’s tried to keep up between Ellie and Sarah, the nothing-but-bullshit line he’s drawn to try to somehow separate what they are to him is gone. There’s no more pretending. She’s his to take care of – that’s how she ended up here shaking and bleeding, after all, isn’t it?"

Summary
"If they were coming after us today, they would have done it already. We gotta rest while we can."
The word sends a horrible shiver down her spine. Rest. How could she possibly rest?
Every time she blinks she sees him—his grimacing mouth, the whites of his eyes reflecting flame. She sees the sickening mess of flesh inside his skull, cracked open like a broken pot. She can almost feel the handle of the butcher's cleaver in her long-empty palm, slick with blood and viscera.
Ellie's certain she'll never rest again.

The aftermath of the events of Silver Lake.

(This series leads up to/contains agere as a coping mechanism :))

Summary
“You’re okay,” he said quietly. “You’re safe now. He’s dead now. I’m right here, and I’m never going to let anything bad happen to you again. Okay?”
She nodded. “Okay,” she whispered. “But, that’s not… That’s not all.”
Fuck. Fucking how? Everything that she said about what happened made it a hundred times worse. How was there more? Joel hated this man since he learned about his existence, but it just kept getting worse. How could a person be so fucked up?
“He wanted an equal,” Ellie said. “That’s what he wanted me to be. He said it was ‘cause we both have violent hearts. And… He said that he wanted to be my father and that he was going to teach me. Is that… Is that what fathers are supposed to do? To their kids?”
OR
Joel and Ellie after Silver Lake, expect it goes a bit differently. (Joel kills David.)
The Graphic Depictions of Violence is about Joel murdering people. The Rape/Non-Con tag is about David, because he makes an appearance in this fic. Nothing worse than canon.
Title from He Asked For It by Ella Red.
