I wasn't entirely satisfied with the ending of Last of Us 2 so I've written a one-shot epilogue to the epilogue! This is what I imagine would happen with Ellie after she leaves the farm.
Enjoy this one-shot and let me know if it's realistic! :) -

Summary
He didn’t believe in god, but he hated him anyway, how could anyone with that much power simply do nothing as a little girls body got ripped to shreds, as she bled and screamed.
He didn’t know who he was talking about anymore.
or- Joels thought process and all the trauma and guilt and shame that resurfaces that first night after silverlake taking care of Ellie. lots of memories around sarah, lots of sadness and greif basically. enjoy!

Summary
"Swear to me. Swear to me that everything you said about the Fireflies is true." Two years ago, Joel lied. Now Ellie, faced with an impossible task, finally comes to understand his motivation that day, even while her world is falling apart. Rated M for language. Not gonna lie: this is a sad one. You've been warned.

Summary
The first time she comes barreling into the house like the devil’s on her heels, he’s on his feet with his gun in hand at once, stepping between her and the door, sure an intruder is about to burst through after her. He readies himself for a fight, already planning how to get an attacker out of the house and away from Ellie.
And then he hears her laughing.
He turns to see her, panting and sweaty, laid out on the floor like she’s a rug, her face practically glowing with the force of her smile. She lifts both hands to the air in fists and cheers.
“What are you doing,” he asks, but the question comes out flat in light of his confusion. He gives the door one more look, but no intruder is imminent, and he holsters his gun, going to one knee beside Ellie, still on her back, breathing hard.
“I beat it!” She says, clearly proud about whatever the hell she’s talking about.
“Beat what?” He asks.
“Curfew!” She nearly crows.
He blinks.
It’s possible they’ve had a misunderstanding about what exactly a curfew is.
(some sweet settling in together fluff with just a smidge of feels for flavor)

Summary
He doesn’t notice that one of her shoes is untied until a lace gets caught in a notch of a log as they pass, sending her down hard.
The momentum of her fall sends him thudding against a tree, and his eyes slam shut as he grits his teeth against the white hot pain that flares in his side.
When he opens his eyes, she’s facedown in the snow, still and silent, hands still at her sides making it clear that she didn’t even try to catch herself.
It speaks of so much trauma, so much unresponsiveness, that he feels tears sting his eyes at the sheer scale of what’s happened to her, of how small and useless he is to fix any of it, of how much he’s let her be hurt by his own failure to protect her.
But there’s no time for his own self-loathing.
She needs him, insufficient as he is.

Summary
Her ears are ringing when they pull her away. Joel took the brunt force of the flash bang, swinging her around like she weighed nothing to curl around her, but she’s just the slightest bit wobbly when they try to take her away from him, still on the ground.
Doesn’t stop her from screaming for him, though.
Even half out of it, Joel always answers when she calls, and she sees him trying to stagger onto his knees, calling back for her.
Then a soldier hits him on the back of the head.
And Ellie sees fucking red.

Summary
“I was just…I was wondering what you do. You know. For like…punishment.” She interrupts him. She needs to get the answer already, needs to know what to expect before she drives herself crazy with anticipation.
“Well I was more into grounding than goddamn child abuse.”
“Grounding like…” Her face scrunches in confusion as she dares to look at him. The word is foreign and the best guess she has doesn’t seem right, but she also doesn’t know what else it could be. “Like being…in the ground?”
Joel stares at her for a long, long moment before he speaks.
“Jesus fucking Christ.”
(after they settle into jackson, ellie realizes she doesn't know how joel will punish her if she messes up) (it quickly becomes a problem she needs to solve)

Summary
“Meet Tara, our latest resident,” he says to them before turning to the woman. “This is my brother, Joel, and my niece, Ellie,” he says, and her already-limited reserve of politeness is lost for a moment behind the way she feels mildly stunned by her casual inclusion as his niece in the introduction.
Thankfully, adults tend to look only at adults first, so she has a moment to recover before-
-but no, Tara is looking at her, only at her, with an intensity that makes her feel uneasy. Immediately she presses a bit tighter to Joel, who looks down at her before looking back up to Tara, frowning a bit. He shifts Ellie a bit, getting her just slightly more behind him before he extends his hand, breaking Tara’s unnerving stare with a blink as she registers it in her field of vision.
“A pleasure,” he says, and Tara fumbles for a moment before she takes it, even as her gaze flits back to Ellie briefly.
(ellie happens to resemble the dead daughter of a new resident in jackson) (surely this will not cause anything bad at all)

Summary
“983,” the guard calls, clanging a baton on the bars of the cell. He doesn’t bother to look up, very busy tracing out the state of Texas in the lines on the wall. He’s found four of them so far. He’s trying for a fifth. “New buddy.”
He does exhale through his nose at that, slightly amused to find out what new victim they’re offering him this time. He doesn’t have a great reputation with his “buddies,” the fuckers attached by handcuff to their cellmates to make it harder to escape, a standard practice in FEDRA prison. He’s gone through four now, each and every one of them trying to pull a power play by picking a fight.
It hadn’t gone well for any one of them.
“Try not to kill this one too quickly,” the guard says, and there’s a certain amount of anticipatory glee in the man’s voice that sets off a quiet alarm in his head.
He lifts his head, needing to see what makes this new inmate so special.
And looks right at a kid who can’t be older than 14, absolutely swamped by a prison outfit meant for someone about three sizes larger.
A girl, in the middle of a men’s prison.

Summary
It’s Ellie sucking on her thumb that first makes him suspect that something’s up.
He hasn’t known her that long, technically speaking–about two months in the QZ and nearing a month in the compound–but even in her earliest days of still being unsettled with them in Boston, she hadn’t been a thumb sucker. He only vaguely remembers pediatrician visits before and a quick visit to the little library in town reassures him (and Tess, who noticed the same thing) that thumb sucking isn’t uncommon in kids up to the age of 5.
But still.
It’s not something common for their kid.
