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.

Various points of Joel and Tommy's life, and eventually, Tommy's death.

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.

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.

Summary
Tess is a powerful underworld figure, brokering information. When an internal threat has her questioning the loyalties of those closest, she must enlist the help of someone who has just as much to lose as she does. A bodyguard/boss AU set in the 1970s.
His fingertips brushed through the curtain of hair hanging to her waist. Dressing like a goddamn hippie with motivations that were resolutely square. A capitalist muckety-muck playing dress-ups with the beautiful people. Tess had some goddamn nerve and he wanted every last piece of her, Duke’s warnings be damned.
Because Duke was right – he’d never met anyone like her before. And maybe by getting a little closer he could unravel the enigma, because he’d meant what he’d told Duke – one woman was, essentially, the same as another. There were a finite number of parts people could play. And she was just playing one of them, concealing it a little better than most.
Tess whispered again in his ear: “You answer to me, now.”

“Oh, really?”
“Yeah, it was pretty crazy.”
“That right?”

Summary
“Joel?” She starts softly, turning into him; he tenses when her hand falls lightly on his still-heaving chest, but doesn’t pull away.
He sighs deeply and lays his forearm over his eyes, his cock lying soft on his thigh, “Just ain’t happenin’ today. I’m sorry.”
“Nothing to be sorry for.”
“It’s just-”
“I know.” She soothes, careful to keep her voice soft but not placating or pitying.
“Fuckin’ hell, just my goddamn knee, then my back, and then my damn mind gettin’ in the way. Shit.”

Summary
“If we’re supposed to be friends, maybe you could answer at least one of my questions straight?”
His face crumpled into a deep, exaggerated frown. “Where would be the fun in that?”
She arched an eyebrow and stared him down, but he didn’t look away. He leaned into it, his gaze locked on hers, as if they were sharing an inside joke.
“Can you keep a secret?” he asked.
A smile whispered across her lips like a punchline. “I guess you’re about to find out.”

Maria Scott and Tommy Miller collide on one cold, winter afternoon and it changes everything.

Summary
Tess shot her a tired look. “He hunts alone. It’s not personal.”
“It’s not just the hunting. It’s everything. You saw how he was at the rest stop.” Ellie made her voice deep, imitating Joel’s southern accent. “Put that back cause I said so—over a fucking necklace. Like, what’s next? He gets mad at my backpack?”
—————Ellie, Joel, and Tess learn to live on the road together without wringing each other's necks in the process. Ellie is feral, Joel is savage, and Tess is trying to get everyone to Wyoming in one piece.
Set during the 3-month timeskip before winter. There are wonderful character arcs and nice campfire scenes, but it gets dramatic as hell—buckle up.

“Where is Joel?” asks Ellie. He’s dead. He’s dead because of her, and they don’t want to tell her.
“Joel just got out of surgery,” Maria answers calmly, taking both of Ellie’s hands in hers. Ellie’s eyes snap back open. “Tommy is with him. You’ll be able to see him soon.” Ellie starts to sit again, to stand, to go to him, but Maria squeezes her hands in warning. “First, we need to make sure you’re okay. Next, we need to understand what happened out there, what Tommy and Dina can’t tell us. Then, I’ll take you to Joel.”

Or: Joel survives, Ellie is still bent on revenge, and their family just wants to help.

Summary
[ONGOING]
In the wake of a new world, Jean finds himself stuck between an unfulfilled promise, misunderstood feelings, and what it means to be a man when he's haunted by past dreams and nightmares.
Pieck has lived on borrowed time for nearly a decade, and now that she's stumbled across the rest of her life, she must come to terms with the absence of desires, ghosts of her past, and a sense of belonging that she hasn't allowed herself to pursue in years.
The fragile truce between Paradis and the rest of the world must be founded upon cooperation, and amongst unrest between citizens, governments, and a newly formed rift between the ambassadors themselves, Jean and Pieck find themselves entwined in a pivotal role in keeping the world from destroying itself.

Summary
He reaches out, gripping the corner of his nightstand with his three, remaining fingers, and uses it to help lever himself to his feet.
His bad knee creaks and cries out in protest as he puts his weight on it, threatening to give out, and Levi pulls a deep breath in through his nose to steady himself, waiting until the sharp throbbing dies down into something more manageable before he reaches with his left hand for the cane propped against the wall between the table and bed frame.
//
Levi's life after the war.
