Summary
Captain Ellie Williams is an AWOL Galactic Military officer drifting through the stars, scavenging dead ships to pass the time in a universe quietly collapsing behind the scenes. No civilian knows the end is coming. Ellie does.
When she docks with an abandoned research vessel, she expects scrap, parts, and maybe a good story.
What she finds instead is a mystery bigger than her, and a woman who shouldn’t be alive at all.
With only her ship and her Cognitive Companion Unit (CCU), Rex, Ellie sets out to uncover who this woman is, why she was left alone on a dead ship, and what universe-bending secrets might be locked inside her mind.
Join me for a Space Odyssey Dellie AU filled with adventure, exploration, banter, danger, mystery, and a whole lot of unexpected love wrapped in one massive, cosmic package.

Summary
[COMPLETED]
Dina Carter has always followed the plan: a steady boyfriend, a finance degree, a future her parents can be proud of. The only place she truly feels like herself is in Skystrike, the high-octane game where her team feels more like family than friends.
But when Ellie, her sharp, steady, impossibly talented new roommate, moves in, everything shifts. Ellie fits into the team seamlessly, and into Dina’s life even more so. Between scrims, late-night game sessions, and whispered jokes on coffee runs, Ellie makes Dina feel seen in a way she didn’t know she was missing.
Suddenly the future Dina mapped out doesn’t feel so certain. And the sparks she’s trying to ignore? Impossible to hide when you’re queued up side by side.
A slow-burn gamer romance about found family, following your own path, and the girl who makes you question everything.

Summary
“You are not replaceable, I am not temporary.” He’s holding her face in his hands, wiping away the tears that try to fall from the corner of her eyes.
She’s had a shit childhood, one he wishes with every fiber of his being, he could replace for her.
He can do this, though. Be here for her now.
“Look at me kiddo, I know you are not Sarah, and I don’t need you to be. I need you to be Ellie; funny, brave, and so goddamn smart, Ellie.” His heart tugs painfully in his chest as her face screws up in an anguished expression.
“You are enough just as you are, and anybody who tells you different will find themselves laid out for spit’n that kind of bullshit at my kid.” He tucks her into his chest as the first broken sobs burst past her lips.
She might be eighteen, a legal adult, but she’s still just a kid looking for the comfort of a parent.
Something she’s never had before. He’ll be that for her, if she’ll let him.
From now until the earth claims him.

Another modern/western vibe. After Ellie ages out of foster care in Boston, she greyhounds it out to Wyoming to work at Miller Ranch, where Joel is waiting in that dad shape of his.Series

Summary
JJ's eyes are Ellie's favorite thing.
Two deep brown galaxies, always so full of wonder and an immense affection she never deserved.
They'd look up and watch her intently—like she was something so important. Like she held the moon and the stars and his future in her hands.
It's terrifying.
Was terrifying.
She misses his eyes, and how they swam in the sunlight to create a new color. How they sparkled when Dina spoke to him in a way that made him laugh.
She can never get them right on paper. And she tries. And tries.
His laugh used to be so clear in her mind.
~
Ellie returns to Jackson. And shovels the snow in Dina's yard, every day.
