OR, You and Joel accompany Ellie and Dina on their date outside of Jackson’s walls.

To Lay a Ghost to Rest by 2minutesor2days
Fandoms: The Last of Us (Video Games), The Last of Us (TV)
12 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
"How do you have something so good and just… not be enough for it? To be so broken that you can't be there for them when they need you?"
Dina's hand snaked its way under the blanket... "Are we still talking about him, Ellie?"
"The darkness… it's a part of you, Ellie, but it is not all of you. You're not broken."
"Maybe that's something we figure out together."
When grief leaves you hollow, the hunt for a ghost becomes the only thing to live for. Ellie is driven by a need for revenge, but with every mile west, the quiet warmth of Dina’s presence begins to mend the cracks that vengeance was meant to seal.
The question is no longer how to hunt a ghost, but how to heal the space it left behind. Together, they'll be forced to confront the past that haunts them and the future that could save them... if they're strong enough to choose it.
What if Ellie and Dina weren't doomed from the start? I wanted to explore a world where two lesbians could have a happily ever after, so this fic was born.

Ellie Williams' Guide to Teenage Rebellion by simoncowellsjuicytits

Summary
“Joel.” He says. He’s Texan, which as far as Ellie’s concerned is an accent-imitating jackpot.
"Can I call you Joe?"
"No."
"Jojo?"
"Absolutely not."
There's a brief silence.
“You’re gonna stop me from getting shot in the face?”“That’s the job.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the (alleged) daughter of the new president, Ellie Wiliams is hellbent on making herself as much of a nuisance as possible. Joel Miller, the virtually unreadable and perpetually grumpy bodyguard assigned to watch her for eighteen hours a day, certainly thinks she's doing a good job of it. But as Ellie processes losses of her past and present, she slowly begins to realise just how valuable it can be to have someone watching your back.
(Angst/eventual fluff found family Joel & Ellie AU, slow-burn father-daughter relationship.)

to clasp gold, fading glow by cardigains

Summary
Another grunt. “How you livin’ out here on your own?” he asks again. As if he hadn’t eaten the freshly slaughtered rabbit, drank from the routinely boiled water, slept beneath the gathered and plentiful blankets.
As if the efforts of survival have not been inscribed along her very skin.
“I’m not a kid.”
They stare at a fire which burns without ceasing—at skeleton fragments and glass shards and a spoon, warped and curled in on itself. There are flames in Ellie’s throat. There is poison in her body. The pages of a Bible have long since burned away—like they were never intended to be permanent. Not like loss. Not like grief. Not like loneliness.
Or: Ellie and Joel don't find each other until after she's already burned Silver Lake, and all of its residents, to the ground.

Summary
Joel rarely gets calls from unfamiliar numbers, so his tone is gruff and cautious when he answers.
“Is this Joel Miller?” Asks the girl on the other end.
“Who’s this?” He demands.
“Oh, right. My name is Ellie Williams. I’m a criminal justice student at the university. I was calling to see-“
“Don’t call me again,” his voice is a growl, rage seeping into his veins as he puts together the purpose of this call.
“Mr. Miller, please just give me a minute. I run a true crime podcast about unsolved cases. We’ve already solved two-“
“Don’t call me again, do you hear?”
“Listen, there’s some evidence in your daughter's case that was overl-“
Joel hangs up the phone. For good measure, he blocks the number like Tommy showed him how to do.
(Joel's daughter was murdered 20 years ago, and it's still unsolved. Ellie runs a true crime podcast. - AKA finding eachother in every universe- true crime AU)

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
Ellie’s eyes lit up. She tightened her palms around the embroidered patches of Mars, Venus, and Earth on the straps of her backpack and then quickened her pace as fast as her little legs could take her. The image of the house grew closer.
It was an old farmhouse. Vines clung to the faded, wooden siding. A porch wrapped around it, the paint chipped. There was a large willow tree in the front yard. A tire swing hung from an especially large branch. Ellie’s thoughts were immediately consumed with how much she wanted to ride it. The night breeze brushed her bare arms, nudging her along.
TLDR// Toddler Ellie comes across a haunted house while running away. In it, she finds a nice, though grumpy, ghost, Joel. For the first time in twenty years, he feels alive, looking after her when no one else ever has, the entire time terrified he'll lose another little girl.

Summary
“Joel couldn’t think of the thought of you he had conjured up in his mind late at night when he was alone— tired eyes staring into nothingness —the one that stayed. The one that laughed with him, laid ever so reverently beside him in the mornings, spent lazy afternoons with him like just that was enough. God, he wished it would’ve been enough for you, wished there was a way he could’ve made you stay. Made you want him again like he so cravingly desired you.”
—
You left Joel because you thought it was the better choice for both of you, just when you think he’s gone from your orbit, he makes his way back into your life smelling like cheap booze and the subtle desperation to feel something with you again.
Can you really tell yourself your better than him, if you take up the first chance to see him again up with no hesitation?
