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
He’s always been out of reach. A fantasy. Joel was too much of everything—too handsome, too friendly, too una-fucking-vailable for any of you. Too bad his kid adores you. (What a blessing.) Too bad she uses you as a scapegoat and lands him right on his door. One bottle of wine, and Joel shows you he might be closer than you thought.

Summary
The edges of your vision frayed, turning the already-dim alley into a blurry kaleidoscope of gray and orange. Your legs felt suddenly disconnected, distant. The immense arm around your throat loosened just enough to let you slump, but not enough to let you fall. You registered a moment of being lifted, effortlessly, then the cold, dizzying rush of black closing in.
This is it, you thought with a strange, numb clarity. This is how it ends. Not to a clicker, not to FEDRA, but in a dark alley to a man, this is how I die. -

Summary
Much like the other day, Ellie ends up sitting on the porch steps. Joel’s back even quicker this time. Almost like he’d left his first aid supplies sitting out and ready to attend as needed.
More cleaning, this one hurts less. More gel liquid, this time rubbed in a bit better. And more bandaids, these ones something other than plain, boring beige. Not princesses either, usually the first thing adults reached for when they mixed the two factors of Little Girl and Injured together.
Nope. This guy has dinosaur bandaids.
“Dude, I fucking love dinos!”
Joel’s head swivels up, eyes going from her carefully patched up elbow to meet Ellie’s gaze. She wants to ask him how he knew. She wants to ask to see the rest of the designs in the box. She wants to tell him all of the other things she loves.
“S’pose I picked right then,” he says, almost like he’d been standing in the aisle, contemplating what exactly that might be.
“You did,” is how Ellie answers him, not bothering with a thank you.
//
or: Ellie is Joel's next door neighbor who's hellbent on learning to ride a bike to get where she needs to go. Little does she know that place is right across the street.

Summary
After your album tanks, you'll do anything it takes to stay relevant - even sign up to get engaged on reality TV. You're not doing this for love, and you harbor no delusions about finding it. But then you meet Joel Miller. He's a guarded single dad with a love of your music, and he sees straight through your act. You want him desperately, and you think he wants you too. The problem is, Joel isn't a contestant. He's your cameraman. The only guy on set that you can't have.

Summary
AU where Tess rescues a badly injured little Ellie, and Joel disagrees, but he can't say no to Tess. Suddenly, Ellie lives with them, and unknowingly, they find themselves navigating a dangerous world to protect her.
-------------
To his relief—something loosens in his chest—Tess is safe and sound. The pale, bloodied kid she carries in her arms can't say the same. A slender thing, maybe five or six years old (though with the poor rations in the Quarantine Zone, Joel wouldn't be surprised if she passed for seven). She's skeletal, famished, with coppery hair and a round face. Her clothes are drenched in crimson, but FEDRA is still readable in black letters on the front. She doesn't seem unconscious. Her face contorted in pain, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Summary
It was a really stupid plan, if Joel was being honest. Dangerous too. He’d advise against it if it was his happy-go-lucky commune. But when one of Jackson’s kids got sick, the kind of sick that couldn’t be cured by tea and time, and Tommy had asked Joel for a favor, he’d agreed without hesitation.

Summary
"Joel." Ellie's body ached and protested as she reached out to Joel. Gently, she fingered the sleeve of his jacket. It was all she had the strength to do. Without realizing it, tears began to flood her eyes again. She was breaking down. "I thought you..."
Ellie couldn't finish before her emotions overcame her. She began to sob, and Joel did his best to comfort her in his broken state. With shaking hands, he caressed her face.
"I'm here." Joel's voice sounded so strained and fragile. It made Ellie cry even harder.

Summary
Joel opened the door onto the street and let it swing shut behind him, annoyed when the kid managed to duck around it before it could slow her down.
“I’m not a toddler, dude, I can walk by myself,” The kid said.
“I got my orders,” He ignored the eye roll the kid threw at him, “And quit calling me dude.”
“Whatever you say,” She gave him a sly smile, “Bro.”
(or joel just wants to do his job and go home smelling like a campfire, it'd be great if the raccoon child from the alley would let him do that in peace)
