Summary
In a London we almost recognise, Sherlock Holmes is a stroppy, solitary genius shirking his civic and moral duty to care for the unfortunate and dispossessed of New Britain. So what is it that possesses him to bring such a wretched, nameless creature with a dark, unspeakable past to Baker Street? Sherlock's life is about to be turned on its head, and all the world with it.

Summary
Josh should have looked up what he was getting into. What The Ivory was.
Because standing outside the unmarked building, taking in its barely flickering neon sign and the blacked-out windows, he was getting a feeling. The kind of feeling that made the hairs on his arms prickle. It didn’t look shady, exactly—no busted-out lights, no sketchy figures lurking in the alley—but it was definitely something. Something his gut was already warning him about.
"Uh—hi. Hello," he started, his voice catching awkwardly in his throat. "I’m Josh Dun. I—uh, I have an interview? With, uh… Tyler Joseph?"
Or : Josh didn't read the job's ad and now he's working in a brothel as security.

Summary
“Oh, our Ellie-girl is growin’ up,” Tommy coos, and Ellie kicks him under the table. He winces, but that smug smile doesn’t wipe off his face, so she kicks him again, a little harder.
“Ellie, stop that,” Joel says, not even looking but knowing exactly what sort of a menace she’s being.
“He’ll be fine,” Maria snorts. “Ellie’s got tiny feet.”
“Hey!” Ellie cries out, indignant. Just for that, she kicks Tommy a third time.

Summary
Much like the other day, Ellie ends up sitting on the porch steps. Joel’s back even quicker this time. Almost like he’d left his first aid supplies sitting out and ready to attend as needed.
More cleaning, this one hurts less. More gel liquid, this time rubbed in a bit better. And more bandaids, these ones something other than plain, boring beige. Not princesses either, usually the first thing adults reached for when they mixed the two factors of Little Girl and Injured together.
Nope. This guy has dinosaur bandaids.
“Dude, I fucking love dinos!”
Joel’s head swivels up, eyes going from her carefully patched up elbow to meet Ellie’s gaze. She wants to ask him how he knew. She wants to ask to see the rest of the designs in the box. She wants to tell him all of the other things she loves.
“S’pose I picked right then,” he says, almost like he’d been standing in the aisle, contemplating what exactly that might be.
“You did,” is how Ellie answers him, not bothering with a thank you.
//
or: Ellie is Joel's next door neighbor who's hellbent on learning to ride a bike to get where she needs to go. Little does she know that place is right across the street.

Summary
“Christ, Tess, I thought you were in some kind of trouble. Do I look like a taxi service to you?” he asked.
She rolled her eyes to a sidelong glance. “No, Joel, I don’t need a ride for her, I need a place."
It took a beat for her words to sink in but when they did he pulled back half a step. “You want me to take the kid?”
“Just hear me out-”
“No.”

Summary
He frowns and picks the picture up, angling it to better see it in the light of the fluorescents of the hallway shining in. He looks over to Ellie’s sleeping face, smooth now in a brief reprieve from nightmares. He looks back to the picture. Back to Ellie. Back to the picture.
It’s…it’s her. It has to be. Same nose, same eyes, same ears. The baby has the soft roundness of a young infant that makes it hard to tell jaw shape or cheekbones, but there’s no denying it.
He’s holding a picture of an infant Ellie.

Summary
On the sixth snatched lunch, he decides to wait and watch. It’s childish, but they’d finally had help in so work had gone quickly enough that he could work on making cuts for the cabinet framing.
And it just so happens to offer the perfect viewpoint to watch his lunch bag on the passenger side of his truck without being immediately visible.
He waits in the hours before lunch ready for a fight, ready to storm out and confront his little shit of a little brother. He knows it’s Tommy. He knows it.
And then a little head with a brown ponytail sticks out of a bush, and he starts to wonder what he knows after all.
The girl looks around furtively, darts forward, jumps up to get her arm over the open window, makes a basket of her shirt, shakes out the contents, tosses the bag back in, and darts off, disappearing into the bushes once more.
All while he stands on the sidelines, saw still in hand.

Summary
The gray buildings sped by as the car raced down the freeway. Ellie wished for a prettier view, but cities were safer. Probably. More people, more places to run, more places to hide.
Plus, she was sick of the same view she had been seeing out of her hospital room window all week.
Marlene glanced over at her, her hands strictly on the wheel as Ellie played with a bit of thread on the side of her seat while her hair swayed in front of her without her signature ponytail.
The woman sighed.
“I called in a favor,” she started, causing Ellie’s hands to still and eyes to dart back from the window to her lap. “I have a friend, and he’ll be taking care of you for a while.”
or: Ellie didn't want a dad, and Joel didn't want a daughter. But they're forced together anyway.

Summary
Now that Ellie’s alone, she just sits on her bed and looks at her book. She can’t call it reading anymore – by now she has read the thing front to back so many times that she could quote some paragraphs word for word.
That’s why it’s weird that it took her so long to notice the message written on the front page.
There, nestled just below the title, there’s one line of writing addressed to her. It doesn’t mention any names, but it is for her. It can’t be otherwise.
It’s not Tommy’s handwriting, nor Maria's, nor Riley's.But it’s somebody’s. Somebody who knew she’d like to read about Moon landing, spaceships, and astronauts. Somebody who cared enough to take this book, fix the hardcover with some scotch tape, and give it to her. Somebody who wrote those words on the front page knowing that they would make her smile.
Somebody who loved her.
It’s late spring 2024 when Ellie wakes up in Jackson. She has a backpack full of books, a burn on her arm, and no memory of how she went from Boston QZ to Wyoming.

Summary
Joel sounds a thousand miles away. “Ellie? Are you listening? I said, don’t you *ever* do that again.”
Well, she thinks deliriously, that won’t be a problem after all.
“Ellie, what—?”
It feels like she has no control over her body anymore, like it’s someone else who is extending her arm, pulling back her sleeve, and exposing a ring of broken skin. She hears Joel stop breathing when he sees it too.
She's been bitten.
________AU where Ellie is already traveling across the country with Joel when she gets bitten.

Summary
“Are you in trouble? Back home?”
The ends of her sweatshirt are grasped in her fists, wrapped around her hands. He half expects her to pull the hood up, tie the strings over her face, and completely tuck herself away. It makes him think of the other night with that nasty motel bedspread pulled right up beneath her chin, asking about locks on the door. It makes him think of a scared kid.
“What difference does it make?” Ellie mumbles out while avoiding his gaze. “I’m out of there now.” She turns a steely gaze towards him. “And I’m not going back.”
“Wasn’t planning on makin’ ya,” Joel whispers in the late night air. The stars are coming out. If it’s a clear enough night, maybe he can point out Mars to her.
or:
Ellie's a foster kid who helps herself to the bed of Joel's truck to get where she needs to go. Joel is a sucker who just can't turn her away.

“Yeah but they don’t have the fucking balls to come in here after me, especially not if you’re here.”
“And what if I’m not, one day? I don’t live here you know, kid.”
“Ellie,” she corrects him, unaware that Joel already knows her name from the first night those kids were after her, “my name is Ellie.”
He waves her words away. “My point still stands.”

Summary
A groaning exhale from the backseat has Ellie perking up, and she nearly drives into a fallen tree when she whips around to look. Whoops.
So she watches Joel from the rearview instead, hungrily drinking in the sight of his growing wakefulness between glances at the road.
“What…” Joel grumbles, hand going to his head. Then he freezes before shooting up, eyes wild. He’s so big he almost hits his head on the roof of the car, and his legs—which are folded up against the door—kick wildly while he tries to right himself.
“It’s okay!” Ellie cries, aiming for reassuring but landing somewhere closer to hysterical. “It’s okay, you’re with me.”
For a brief, insane moment, Ellie wishes fiercely she had a pet name for him, something she could call him when he needed comforting. Nothing makes Ellie feel more cared for and safe than baby girl in Joel's southern drawl.
Old man doesn’t have quite the same ambience.

Summary
Stiles has encountered a fair share of monsters before, way out of his league - the kinds that children are afraid are hiding in their closets and under the bed.
He’d even become one himself when he was void. The nogitsune was in his house, his body, and his mind.
But the worst monster he’s ever faced took even more from him and got away with it.
It’s why Stiles has never really been as terrified of werewolves and kanimas and darachs as he should have been. They’re really not that scary, relatively speaking, and he has a whole team on his side. They always found a way to win - until they lost someone they really loved.
Stiles doesn’t know how to be normal, not after everything he’s done and everyone he’s hurt. The nogitsune is gone, but another monster is on its heels.
His uncle is back. And Stiles has never felt more alone.
