Summary
"It's not a crime to be wild and it sure ain't a crime to be loved, now is it?"
---
" Sometimes in life maybe it's better to try and run from the danger than to try and fight it?"
----
" How many times can a person lose themselves before there's truly nothing left to find anymore?"
-----
" Maybe all life is, is just the scars we carry from day to day?"
------Twelve years after the outbreak, Josephine is trying her best to not only survive, but live.
Alongside Joel, Tess, her daughter Courtney, and her son Ezra, she’s carved out a fragile life in the Boston QZ, where danger wears both uniforms and smiles. When whispers of the Fireflies begin to spread through the smuggler circuit, the past threatens to crack open, and the cost of love and of family may rise again.
They’ve lost too much to lose each other now.
But the world doesn’t care what you’ve already paid.
And in a place where silence keeps you alive, some things still demand to be said out loud.

Summary
"The fuck were you thinkin'?" Tommy snapped the moment Joel sat up.
Nothing.
"Doin' that?! Leavin' me?! The fuck, Joel?" Tommy screamed, not caring about the people around them in the tent. "You're a God damn bastard."
Still nothing. Joel simply glared at Tommy like he was some inconvenience. It shut the younger Miller up, seeing that look. The same face that softened, albeit unwillingly most of the time, at the sight of him, now looked back like he was a stranger. No, worse. Stared at him like he was a foe.

Summary
‘No. I’m tellin’ you now, no. You going away and joinin’ the Fireflies.. Fine. You ruin your own life if that’s what you want. But we ain’t taking a baby in during all of this, Tommy. No way in Hell.’
‘What’s the alternative, Joel? Give her to FEDRA? They’d turn her into a fucking soldier. Cannon fodder. You know that.’
-
In which Joel and Tess receive an unusual request from the Boston Fireflies, and the pair find themselves navigating parenthood in the midst of the apocalypse.
(Or; in an alternate timeline, Joel raises Ellie from the beginning - and this time, for as long as he has breath left in his body, nobody is going to hurt his daughter.)

Summary
Ever since Sarah... well, ever since Sarah ten years ago, Joel's stayed as far away from kids as he can. Just the sight of one is practically enough to send him into a panic attack.
But then Tommy signs them up for a contracting job at a high school as a favor to an old army buddy.
And then there's a little girl in the front office, who somehow appears in the coffee shop Joel visits because the motel's coffee machine is shit.
Most damning is when Joel goes in to do some work at three in the morning and that same goddamn little girl is asleep in his construction zone and, when he wakes her up, says she's homeless.
Next thing he knows, she's asleep in his motel bed and he's filing foster parent paperwork.
What the fuck just happened?
(Foster parent AU! Featuring Joel Trying His Best And FailingTM, Ellie annoying local man and his friends & family into adopting her, and Tess/Joel as a lil treat for the masses.)

Summary
You leave the comfort of your house in the country to find the Fireflies, completely unaware that it would lead to a string of events that would change you forever. But at least you have her, right?
___________It's then that Ellie sees you. The blood. The bodies. A sickness pools in her stomach, cold and quiet.
She meets your eyes, finally dragging them away from the man's body. She takes in all of you. Your sunken eyes, the strands of hair stuck to your face, your trembling legs, your paled face. Despite everything, she knows you're still you. Buried somewhere was the thirteen year old who shed silent tears for dead animals and the girl who would stay up all night so everyone else could sleep, the girl who would give you all her rations even when she was starved. She knows you as the thirteen year old who was fierce, loyal, loving, gentle. Wouldn't take a life unless absolutely necessary.
Ellie knew you, but the person in front of her was not you. It wasn't that girl who she'd known years ago. She searched your eyes for even hint of that girl, but there was nothing.
___________(A lot happens in this fic, it's gonna be long and angsty and gay.)

Summary
"When I say go, you go." He's panting, terrified and hurting like a son of a bitch from the chest strap of the seatbelt jerking tight, but he needs Tess to take one fucking command.
For once in her life, he needs her to listen to him.
"You slip through the wall, and you get Ellie the fuck out of here. I will find you after." Her lip curls into a snarl, fury and irritation chafing her expression. He knows that she's pissed, but they ain't smuggling partners on a run gone sideways right now.
They're parents.
"We don't get to leave, Joel. That was the fucking deal." And it still is. He's trying to get them all out alive.
That means she needs to run, and he needs to handle the fucking hunters opening fire in the direction of their family.
"I ain't leavin' and neither are you; this is just temporary." Hoping like hell he ain't lying to her, he tightens the strap of Ellie's sling and insures she's pressed tight against Tess.
He'll get back to them, and he'll mow down every fucker that tries to get in his way.
