   Summary

   After leaving the Fireflies, you ended up in the settlement of Jackson with Tommy, unwilling to part with the only friend you had left. You were even able to carve somewhat of a life out for yourself after a few years.

   Until Tommy's older brother shows up. You think Joel Miller is gruff and rude, and you're pretty sure he doesn't have a fond opinion of you either. That doesn't stop the attraction you feel for each other, but he's gone in a day. You settle back into a routine, thinking you'll never see him again.

   Then Joel returns a few months later, and screws up everything about the comfortable life you had established in Jackson.

   Bookmarker's Notes

   One of the best, and definitely my favorite, Joel/OC story. The psychological depth is absolutely amazing. 💙💙💙
