Summary
Nobody tells you just how much having your face beaten and your arm broken hurts. There’s a lot of blood. Blood on the floor, blood on the walls, blood on your weapons, blood on your clothes. There’s a clear pattern here.

Summary
Ever since Sarah... well, ever since Sarah ten years ago, Joel's stayed as far away from kids as he can. Just the sight of one is practically enough to send him into a panic attack.
But then Tommy signs them up for a contracting job at a high school as a favor to an old army buddy.
And then there's a little girl in the front office, who somehow appears in the coffee shop Joel visits because the motel's coffee machine is shit.
Most damning is when Joel goes in to do some work at three in the morning and that same goddamn little girl is asleep in his construction zone and, when he wakes her up, says she's homeless.
Next thing he knows, she's asleep in his motel bed and he's filing foster parent paperwork.
What the fuck just happened?
(Foster parent AU! Featuring Joel Trying His Best And FailingTM, Ellie annoying local man and his friends & family into adopting her, and Tess/Joel as a lil treat for the masses.)

Summary
“Hey.”
The girl’s eyes snapped up, panicked. She spared a second to glance down at the man in front of her, her eyes racing up and then looked at Joel with the exact same type of terror, before emerging with something in her hands.
Joel watched, immediately suspecting a gun. “Whoa, now-”
The girl lifted her hands up, revealing an old knife. She smeared the tears on her cheeks away, trying to seem bigger than she was, but it didn’t work.
She was a terrified kid.
The urgency in Joel’s expression blinked. “Hey,” He repeated, his voice painted soft, though he didn’t let himself hear it. The girl just stared up at him with her knife, not realizing the tremble of her own grip or the violent shakes that tore through her entire, bare body. He just realized that now. Only her knees were covering her, along with the clearly torn pair of underclothes on her lower half. She cringed under his eyes. “It’s okay,” He tried. “I’m not gon’ hurt you.”
The girl didn’t even blink. She just stared up through her tears, terrified of him.
Fuck.
TLDR: Joel finds a traumatized Ellie on the side of the road. He's immediately soft. Meanwhile, she has to learn how to trust him.

Summary
"“You bringin’ me fans now?” He asked Tess, his voice calm but tinged with weariness—no bitterness, just tired familiarity.
“Not just any fan, cowboy.” Tess smirked, placing a hand gently on Ellie’s back to encourage her forward. “Ellie’s with the FDA. Best junior driver we’ve had in years. And she’s name-dropped you in every interview since she was thirteen.”
Joel raised a brow, finally lowering the bottle for real. He gave Ellie a good look—awkward, but beaming like the sun just rose in her chest. Something soft crept into those hazel eyes of his. Something sad, too. Melancholy. He glanced at the watch on his wrist, and Tess didn’t need to read his mind. She knew where he’d gone in that moment, and her heart softened for him."
One year after losing his daughter, fallen champ Joel Miller makes a fiery comeback to F1 with Ferrari. Under the ruthless Theresa Servopoulos, he faces brutal rivalries, deadly plots, and a mysterious green-eyed young girl prodigy who could change everything. The race has only just begun.

Summary
Joel’s meandered over behind the counter, looking underneath the warping cabinetry and opening anything that isn’t locked. He sighs when he sees the industrial sized coffee machine, rusted metal glinting in the light streaming from the tattered ceiling tiles.
She squints to see the lettering on one of the remaining menus, tilting her head and rolling up on the balls of her feet to get a better view. “What’s a…fra…puk…seeno?”
“Frappuccino.” He corrects her without a second thought, sighing through his nose when another cupboard reveals nothing but a rotted mouse in the back corner. He shuts it closed and keeps moving.
“Frappuccino.” She tests the word on her tongue, quiet and uncertain. Each syllable rolls around uncomfortably between her teeth. “What is it? Coffee?”
He shrugs. “Technically. But I wouldn’t call it that. It’s real sweet.”
“Ah. Not real coffee.”
“Not real coffee.”
TLDR:
Ellie’s new life in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, told through the art supplies she’s gathered and been gifted over the years (Featuring the many wonders of Barnes & Noble).

Summary
“I said-” she looked down at them through the barrel of the rifle, shaking slightly from what could be the cold or nerves “-drop your fucking weapons, I mean it, I will shoot”
Butcher saunters forwards, hands thrown up in a mockery of surrender.
“Look kid, we’ve dropped all our guns, even chucked my knife in there for ya. Now, do you want to tell us where the fuck you came from and how a fourteen year old girl got a hold of a gun? I knew you yanks were backwards bastards, but this just takes the fucking cake.”
***
What if after Joel fell on the Rebar, instead of Ellie running into David she is unknowingly teleported to The Boys universe and runs into Butcher and the gang? Based on the game, but will still make sense if you have only seen the show.
