Summary
your life, post-apocalypse, and the surly old survivor who darkens your door.
Growing up with a doomsday prepper as a father hadn't been easy. But after the Outbreak, you can't help but feel a little grateful to the old man. You're almost sad he didn't make it long enough to see how right he'd been.
You inherit the farm, the stockpile, and the bunker months before the Outbreak. And in the aftermath, you use it to prove that human kindness still exists, helping all those you can.
Set 5 years after the Outbreak.

Summary
The barrel of the gun pushes against your forehead, a muscle twitch away from executing you.
You’re crying harder now, desperate. The stark white scar of a cordyceps bite spanning your ankle gleams under the moonlight, silvery in a way that could almost be pretty. It’s an ugly scar. But not as ugly as the brand covering half of it. It’s a date, which he can’t trust the accuracy of, but the half that’s not on the bite is perfectly healed.

Summary
“Ugh, I wish I could drive,” she says, paying him absolutely no mind as she climbs into the passenger seat. “Riding down the highway with the windows down, blasting music.”
“Get caught in traffic,” Joel says. “Get a flat tire. Pay for a new alternator.”
“Yeah, yeah, you don’t even know. You have a car. You can go wherever you want. You have everything.”
Joel grips the wheel tight. Kids never have anything to worry about. Their whole lives laid out in front of them like a highway. Everything, everything.
Or:
Joel gets a contracting job at a school. Being around kids all day is bad enough--and then a brazen, foul-mouthed teenager keeps showing up at his work site. Joel doesn't care why she's sleeping at school instead of at home. He doesn't.Or:
The foster kid AU where Ellie's foster parents are the least of her problems. -

Bambi. Väldigt bra storyline. Hon var väldigt bra på att skriva. Gjorde ett as bra jobb med att få in information och berätta om det som hänt tidigare. Några plot twists on the way. Abby var med lite🙏. Läste i ungefär två månader. Väldigt bra. Kolla andra fick av författaren. Åtta av tio.

Summary
She’s not really even listening to the words of the song, but rather focused on the sound of her guitar, now newly appreciating how much work she has to put into it, and its perfect blend with her voice.
And then Dina looks over at her for just a second, and it’s like seeing her for the first time.
When did Ellie get this attractive?

Summary
“Your heart…” she murmurs, eyebrows furrowing. “S’fast.”
Ellie’s having trouble processing Dina’s words, too distracted by the heat of her skin, the comforting pressure of Dina’s weight, her smell more intoxicating than the whiskey. Dina shifts, propping herself up with one elbow as she stares down at Ellie, face open and curious.
“Do I make you nervous?” she muses, words a little slurred as she moves her hand to brush Ellie’s cheek, tucking a stray piece of hair behind her ear.
“Yes.” The whispered word is out of Ellie’s mouth before she even realizes what she’s saying, and she gulps.
-OR-
A drunk mind speaks a sober heart. Ellie and Dina learn that particular lesson the hard way.
