Summary
"I remember you."
Ellie's head snaps up and over to where a girl's voice comes from, and she immediately regrets it when the world sways and her vision blurs.
"You're that girl from Jackson," the girl's bleary lips move, forming words that take Ellie a second to process. The name of Ellie's hometown back in Wyoming rings alarms in her head. How the fuck would anyone know that? She squints her eyes further, desperately trying to see who is chained up to the wall opposite from her. Is it one of Abby's friends? That's the only way someone would remember her.
When Ellie finally gets a good look at the girl's face, her heart pounds and her skin boils as white-hot rage floods through her body.
It's her.
"Abby." The name spills from Ellie's lips, sounding like a threat. She doesn't say her name with any ounce of uncertainty. She knows it's her. How could she ever forget that face? The face of Joel's killer that has haunted her nightmares for months.
(OR Ellie is captured by Scars on her third day in Seattle and thrown into the same cell as Abby.)

Summary
The crowd parts as Dina barrels through, her jacket half-on and her boots untied, panic written clear across her features. Terror replaces the momentary relief at seeing her alive and unharmed when he sees how frantic she is. That girl doesn’t panic; not like this.
Before he can take another step, she skids to a stop in front of him. “Where’s Ellie?”
“What—”
“She was covering for me,” Dina chokes out, the words tumbling over each other in her rush to get them out. “I wasn’t feeling well, so she took my shift. Where is she?”
Tommy’s world tilts. Ellie. Inside. The words don’t connect at first, then slam into him so hard that he bends forward, hands bracing on his knees as his vision tunnels. Ellie was inside when the fire broke out, and now…
Not Ellie. Christ, not Ellie.

Summary
You collapse in the dirt outside Bill's electric fence ten years after the Cordyceps outbreak. After being abandoned by your Firefly group, Bill and Frank take in you and your unborn child. But when you lose the baby, you find the strength to keep living through your newfound family and smuggler friends. Years later, just as you are reeling from burying Bill and Frank on the same day, Joel arrives in town seeking the Fireflies with a young girl at his side. You must choose to leave behind the safety of Lincoln to bring Ellie to the terrorist group you swore you would never seek out again. It's been years since your last smuggling run, but you always were the best sniper the Fireflies ever had. With Joel at your side, you're ready for anything the open road could throw at you.
What you don't expect is finding a new family of your own.

Summary
“We need to get to the science building.” Her voice cracks; she doesn’t give a fuck. “Now.”
Joel shakes his head. “Ellie—”
“No, listen to me,” she insists, grabbing one of his hands with both of hers. “They… I think they can make it quick. The cure. And… and it’s on your leg, so we have a little time—”
“Ellie.”
“We have… Joel, we have to move. Now.” She jumps to her feet and grabs Callus, leading him to Joel. “Now, Joel.”

(Spoiler capítulo três)
"She leans right into Joel’s space, prying his fingers apart and examining them. They’re not twitching or anything, just trembling like he’s coming off an adrenaline rush. It happened to her too, back in the mall. Scared the ever-living fuck out of her.
His right hand is worse — that one shakes sometimes because he keeps fracturing it — so she threads her fingers through his and ducks until he can see her face. After a moment of hesitation, she scoots close enough to press her fingers to the side of his neck. His pulse is racing but steady. Human. It feels like his whole body is vibrating. 'All the muscles on the bite side spasm together when it starts for real,' she says firmly. 'You’re just freaking out.'"(Achei essa fanfic impecável quando se trata da angústia envolvendo o Joel sendo mordido e a ideia dele ser imune também.)
(Fico pensando na reação das pessoas de Jackson ao ver ele voltar om essa perna tendo esses tiques. Imagina o Tommy percebendo que quase perdeu o irmão?)

Summary
Her tears feel scorching against the skin of his ribs as they soak through his shirt.
"You found me." The words are whispered into the sweat damp shirt he's been wearing for more days than he can remember.
Coaxing her face away from the dirty material, he looks into those pretty green, and gold flecked brown eyes of hers.
"There ain't a place you could be that I wouldn't, mija. It's you and me, remember? That's our deal." It's been the deal since she'd wrapped those tiny little hands around what remains of his heart when she was four.
"You and me." She echoes back with a wet sob.
"Always, baby girl." He says it with the same conviction as when he'd promised not to kill her, to not let anyone kill her.
Nine years later, and he's making her a new promise.
He will always find her, he will always come for her, and he will always fight for her.

Summary
He wonders sometimes if someone is missing Ellie. Someone who thinks she’s safe at school, someone who doesn’t know she’s gone on this harebrained mission. He doesn’t really think it’s true, but it’s not really the point.
The point is this whole little road trip would be so much fucking easier if he could stop remembering that Ellie is somebody’s baby.
Or: The little pieces of herself Ellie leaves in Joel's life.

Summary
He knows from the moment he sees Joel helping the girl down from the horse she’s on that something’s up. There’s an ease to the movement that says he almost certainly helped her up on the horse as well, and the way she moves with absolute trust that he won’t let her fall says there’s a bond there that’s had time to develop.
The girl sticks close to Joel’s side, eyes wary, as he guides her back over.
“This is Ellie,” Joel says before turning to her. “This is my brother, T-”
“Tommy, yeah. I heard. Not all of us have shit ears, grandpa.”
He blinks at the comment, but Joel doesn’t seem offended, even as he rolls his eyes.
This is his second hint.

As the seasons change in Jackson, so does your relationship with Joel. It starts with small things—his quiet presence outside the schoolhouse, how he keeps bringing you books for the kids, or how his gruff demeanor softens just slightly when he talks to you.
