Summary
You squeezed your eyes shut, willing yourself not to cry. You were left alone to fend for yourself and a child. You didn’t know how. Fuck, you’d never even had to look after a fish, and now some laughing deity had put a child in your care.
But you made a promise.
You’d give your life trying to keep her safe.
Even if that meant following a stranger, who seemed to hate your existence, to a settlement you had never heard of.
What else was there left in this world for you?
...
Set 15 years after the outbreak if Joel was never asked to take Ellie to the fireflies. Instead, he continues his quest to find his brother, finding you and little more than he bargained for on his way.

Summary
You weren’t supposed to be here. Not in Texas, not renovating your best friend's dream house, and definitely not raising a child on your own.
But life didn’t ask what you were ready for.
You made a promise. Lily would have a home, even if you had to build it from nothing.
What you didn’t expect was Joel Miller. The contractor with tired eyes and quiet hands, who watches you a little too carefully and offers himself up when you need him most. A man who makes the unfinished house feel less empty… and makes you wonder if another future is possible.
Maybe even another life.
...
