Summary
The next thing he sees and knows isn’t a dream is Ellie’s little hand reaching over his heart and balling up his shirt in her fist. Her head lays on his shoulder and her ear presses against his chest. He feels her small exhales and they bring fresh, unbidden tears to his eyes. She doesn’t notice his half-lidded gaze, but he sees just fine as she brings the hand still clutched around his flannel up to her nose and presses it to her face like it’s the only thing keeping her from floating away.
Almost on muscle memory alone, Joel aims to press a kiss to her hair where it’s up to his own nose, but he can’t quite get it right. Still, his cheek ends up against the soft tendrils of Ellie’s brown strands and he thinks it’s enough. He hopes it gives her some meager comfort.
It’s all he has to offer.
(Inspired by the famous picture of Ellie sleeping all curled up on the forest floor during episode 2 - essentially an exploration of how Ellie becomes more than cargo to Joel through Ellie's very cute sleeping habits)

Summary
The first time Henry sees it happen, he knows instantly that it is not the first time it has ever happened. They’re sitting in the living room of the brownstone, the two of them surrounded by their favorite people in the world, a night of board games long abandoned in favor of mocking the eighth season of Game of Thrones.
“God, don’t you have an off switch?” June groans, laughing as she chucks a piece of popcorn in Alex’s direction while he rambles passionately about the international legal implications of the Red Wedding. Nora cackles. “Whatever you do to thank Henry for putting up with you, it’s not nearly enough. Jesus, I can’t believe he put a ring on your loud mouth.”
Or: Alex is fine. Really, he’s fine — he just wants Henry to stay, even if Alex is too much. Henry just wants his husband back.

Summary
Recovery isn’t linear. Pain doesn’t always announce itself. And strength, Hiccup learns, isn’t about how long you can walk alone—it’s about knowing when to reach for someone’s hand.
After the battle with the Red Death, Hiccup is left with a new prosthetic, an aching body, and a village watching him like he’s made of glass. He pushes through it—because what else is he supposed to do?
But there’s only so far you can walk on a bent rig and unspoken pain.
Astrid, Gobber, and Toothless are there—always.
All he has to do is let them be.
(5 Times Hiccup didn't ask for help, and the 1 time he did.)

Summary
“Ell-” He starts, his greeting cutting off when Ellie doesn’t seem to register the movement of the door fast enough to stop trying to pound on it, the momentum sending her forward into him and knocking them both to the floor in his effort to keep her from getting hurt.
“Hey, hey,” he says. “What’s going on, sweetheart? What’s happening?”
Ellie’s head lolls on her neck in a way that has his heart pounding, and finally she manages to roll it enough to look at him. The sight of tear tracks down her cheeks ratchets his terror up several degrees higher, especially with how unfocused her eyes seem.
“Hey,” he says, patting her cheek gently. “Talk to me, kiddo. What’s going on?”
“I’m dying,” she says, voice trembling, and his heart stops completely. “I can’t make the world stay still, and I’m gonna die.”
“...what?”

Summary
Of the things Ellie could choose to spend her time on as a teenager who has finally recovered enough from playing labrat to be awake for longer than an hour at a time, he supposes there are worse things she could pick.
It doesn’t make the idea of a frog hotel less weird, though.
“And what is the point of this again?” He asks as Ellie carefully rearranges spare bits of pipe she asked him to bring home from his current jobsite for the sake of this project of hers. They’re on arrangement twenty-three by this point, and he’s not entirely sure that these “hotel guests” of hers are going to care about the aesthetic of their accommodation as much as Ellie clearly thinks they will.
Still, it's the most enthusiastic he’s seen her about anything in weeks, so if playing frog preference architect makes her happy, he’ll do his time shifting pipes around at her instruction.
He’s done far worse for her, after all.
(on frog hotels and breaking generational trauma)

Summary
Feeling guilty about leaving Joel to play single parent yet again, she rises and follows, finding Joel on Ellie’s bed with her all but on his lap, face tucked against his neck. His chin is resting against her head, and as she watches from the place in the doorway, he tucks his chin enough to kiss her hair.
“Easy, baby girl,” he says, a low, soothing croon. “You’re okay, baby. I’ve gotcha.”
Ellie’s response is too low for her to hear, and based on the way Joel’s expression doesn’t change, she’s not sure it’s clear enough to actually be intelligible.
“Shh,” he hushes. “I’m here, baby girl. I’m here.”
After a few more minutes of watching Joel handle parenting with ease like he didn’t have a twenty year hiatus between children, Tess decides to lay back down.
It seems like he’s got it under control, after all.
(after settling back in jackson, tess learns that after always doing it as a single parent, joel is AWFUL at sharing when it comes to raising a kid)
