Ten years on and your compound in Texas is raided by the police amidst allegations of abuse, and you and your daughters - Ellie and Abby - are forced back into the world you left behind. Your only lifeline is Joel Miller, your mom's friend from college, and his daughter, Sarah. Moving onto his ranch, what starts as friendly support becomes something more.

Summary
Silence falls, echoing, around them. Sarah cries quietly. Joel hesitates, then chucks the remainder of his slice over the wall into the river and scoots across the tailgate, gathers her up against him. Sarah tucks her face into the crook of his neck and shudders. Joel runs a hand up and down the delicate ladder of her spine, buries his face in the sweet bed of her curls. She’s paper thin in his arms, fever bright and sticky sweet, at once both the little girl he once knew and the woman she’s becoming. The world is moving too fast for him; Sarah keeps pace with it so easily, and he’s -
Well, he’s forever falling behind.
“I love you,” he says again. He closes his eyes, swallows. The things he’d do for her are innumerable and unchanging. She has to know. “I can’t - I can’t promise you that I’m always going to get it right, baby girl, but I promise you I’m always going to try. More than I did tonight. Okay?”
Sarah whispers, “Okay.”

Summary
In the crumbling remains of Boston, Madds is surviving, barely. She’s got a steady job, a stash of pills, and a list of regrets long enough to circle the QZ twice. The last thing she expects is for Joel Miller to show up again. Not after everything. Not with another woman on his arm.
They try to ignore it. The history. The heat. The way it still hurts.
But this city’s too small, and their past is too loud.
And when Madds bonds with a certain foul-mouthed teenager, ignoring Joel becomes impossible.This is not a love story. It’s a story about what comes after. About addiction and guilt. About wanting someone you shouldn’t, and not being able to stop.
It’s glances that linger too long. Arguments that turn into touches. And touches that always go too far.
And when the world starts to shift again, neither of them are ready for what it demands.A slow-burn, smut-leaning drama with sharp edges and soft centers. Loosely based on the HBO storyline.
TW: there is hard drug use, overdose (accidental and on purpose) and we explore some dark themes.

Summary
His skin pulls tight, and a vague ripple wanders down his spine, an urge to shift and protect searing as he stuffs it down and reaches in with two blood-slicked palms.
Dry patches of soft down catches and sticks to his hands, but more hot crimson also coats them as he gently lifts the pup out from beneath entrails.
A girl, judging by her scent.
Earthy, green - maybe a little spiced.
It’s hard to tell with so much of her blood intermingled with what he thinks must be her mama's and her other fallen packmate.
Distantly, he feels Tess come to hover behind him, her hand now braced firmly on the same shoulder she’d been tender with only minutes ago. “Is it still alive?” Her voice shakes and her scent shifts, turning startled and unsure.
The low whine and broken whimper that whistles out of the pup as he clears the protective curve of the two dead wolves says yes.
The pained twist and wiggle as she pants says that she may not be for long.
Christ almighty she’s little.
Ain’t supposed to shift this young, shouldn't be able to.

Joel and Tess find Ellie in the carnage of her pack. Post outbreak, a wolf pup is rare thing, something to be protected at all costs. -

Summary
The last thing he thought he'd find after returning to Boston was a pair of little red sneakers thrown carelessly in a way he hadn't seen in almost 20 years.
Tommy hadn't thought his unannounced visit to his big brother after all these years would amount to much, but one look at the little girl with big, round eyes that mirrored those of another little girl who once was had him changing his plans.
OR: Joel adopts a kid, unbeknownst to Tommy, who very much would have liked to know he has a niece again.

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
Ellie Miller has spent twenty years building a life she can stand. She produces records in Nashville, owns a condo, and has her name tucked into liner notes. Her routine is set: late nights in the studio, crowded music halls, and just enough distance from Silverlake to pretend it never really mattered.
Then one call pulls her home to where she’s needed, back into the town she gave up on long ago. Silverlake is waiting with the gym she refuses to walk into, the twenty-year reunion emails she keeps deleting, and the people she has avoided for more than half her life. Most of all Dina, the ghost she has never been able to outrun. Will Ellie discover that not everything in Silverlake was what it seemed, and that even broken bonds can be mended into something stronger than before?
