Summary
A pitiful whimpering pierces through the thin walls and his heart like an electrical current.
His instincts kick into high gear, something animalistic from the early days of Sarah’s life forcing him up. Where is that coming from? He sneaks down the hallway, passing by Ellie’s room along the way. The door’s open just a bit, light streaming in through the crack.
He peers in, expecting to see all five feet of his kid splayed across the bed, brown wavy hair poking up from under the covers.
He searches the room for Ellie, stepping in without hesitation and blinking hard, making sure he didn’t miss anything.
“Ellie?”
Another little coo comes from her bed, a mixture of babbling and a frustrated cry. He stops dead in his tracks and turns around.
A baby is sitting in Ellie’s bed.
A baby. In Ellie’s bed.
“The fuck?”
Or: Joel has Feelings™. Particularly about not having gotten to see Ellie grow up. Ellie magically turns into a baby. Don’t ask how. Nobody knows and I especially don’t. Angst with hella feels and Joel and Ellie being The Father Daughter Duo Ever.

Summary
"You're Joel's daughter, you hear me?"
"I think he hates me," is what Ellie says, and the words feel like she's forcing them out through a mouthful of glue. Tears burn the back of her eyes, and she swallows thickly. "I think he hates me and I don't know how to fix it."
Maria laughs, but it's devoid of any real humor. "You could never speak to him again and he would still love you." Maria gives her a sad smile. "After you told him to stop giving you stuff he found out on patrol, he's been finding things anyway. I reckon he's letting them sit in the corner of your house."
Your house, Ellie thinks wanly. Is it still mine?
OR, ellie's hurting. her and maria talk about it.

Summary
Joel has lost everyone he held dear: Sarah, Tess, Ellie. And while his brother still remains by his side, Joel can't help but drown in the solitude of his Jackson home. The rooms are too empty, too silent, so his heart is vacant. He's truly had enough of this life, given up to the point where he's decided to end his own suffering. That is until you move in next door and slowly worm your way into his life...

Summary
Joel made a choice. He stayed with her. And now mother and father are a blurred line, with no clear beginning and end. He doesn’t pick and choose. He’s everything. He’s Joel. He’s the only person she can think about, when something isn’t right. When she’s curled up on the floor in pain or tangled in her blankets from a nightmare. His name comes to her lips every time, even if she doesn't want it to, a cry that pulls directly from instinct.
She’s Ellie.
Maybe that’s why she doesn’t tell him about what she found in Maria and Tommy’s guest room.
Ellie doesn't have a mother. Jackson gives her space to feel this loss more acutely.

Summary
Best friends since they were kids, Dina and Ellie share the kind of connection that makes others envious. Despite their obvious chemistry, both try dating other people—partly to prove to themselves that what they feel isn't what it seems. Yet these relationships never quite work out. Someone's laugh isn't quite right, another's touch doesn't feel the same, and they find themselves comparing every new partner to each other.
Their friends notice how Dina's eyes light up when Ellie enters a room, how Ellie always saves the last bite of dessert for Dina. They comfort each other after breakups, neither admitting that their relationships fail because no one measures up to what they already have. With each failed attempt at moving on, they drift closer together, wondering if maybe the answer has been right in front of them all along. What would happen if they finally admitted that all roads seem to lead back to each other?

Summary
It’s alright, she thinks, if her life does come to a close in the middle of Wyoming with nothing but the howling wolves to keep her company, because at least then there was someone to sing her to sleep one last time.
She wishes it could’ve been Joel, his warm lilting timbre more of a quiet hum than actual singing, but she’ll settle for this.
She can play pretend.

Ellie’s first chaperoned group patrol ends in disaster. A classic Ellie whump with a much-needed side of Joel being her parent.Series
