Summary
“You don’t touch her,” Tommy says. “You don’t fuckin’ touch her!”
“Not really in a place to be making demands, old man.” The man's hand leaves Ellie's hair, coming up to her chin instead. He moves the gun from her temple to the back of her head. She resists the urge to bite him, her teeth clenched. “Gotta be from a settlement. No one who’s been out for long is this clean. No girl stays out long either. Always hiding ‘em behind walls. Don’t leave much for the rest of us.”
Joel’s told her about people like this. People who wander around the country alone or in pairs. Usually very young men who don’t fit into even hunter groups for one reason or another.
“Sometimes they’re even worse than the groups," he'd said. "They don’t got anyone holding them back.”
When Ellie and Tommy are attacked, Tommy is forced to put his own potential for brutality on full display. They deal with the aftermath.

Summary
He chafes, a bit, in the compound.
He and Bill have their own reckoning after they arrive, a bit of feeling each other out. Frank and Tess are fast friends, and he and Bill have a grudging respect, but he knows he’s at a disadvantage here, with the favor he’s asking. It’s a very different thing, asking to trade versus asking to stay, but he knows that the compound is the safest possible place.
It scratches at him, needing a favor to keep Ellie safe, being unable to provide it on his own.
But that’s another thing about parenting he hadn’t quite remembered: you’ll do crazy things for your kid.

a half-step to the left by PenAndInkPrincess

Summary
It’s not that Ellie means to stalk the couple she catches lurking in the shadows at 1 in the morning after sneaking out of her dorm because sitting in the room alone was making it hard to breathe, but fellow curfew-breakers can hardly expect privacy. All’s fair in love and rule-breaking or whatever their English teacher said in one of the rare classes when they were learning something not related to FEDRA policy.
And there’s something in the way the man holds his hand out to help pull the woman up over a crumbled brick wall that she just can’t look away from.
There’s a gentleness there despite his size and obvious strength that makes her breath catch for just a second. It’s too far for her to hear what they’re saying, but the woman says something with a little half-smile and presses her hand to the man’s shoulder, and the casual affection of the gesture fills her with a nameless want.
So, trailing them at a distance it is.
(AU in which Ellie follows Joel and Tess around and meets them with no Fireflies involved)

Summary
“Well,” the woman says, in a way that makes it clear she’s trying to perk herself back up as she holds out the dish, “will you let him know Shirley dropped by and left this? I was already baking today and figured he-you two could use a little treat.”
The impulsive thoughts she tries very hard to control for the sake of not causing trouble for Joel to handle makes her want to slap the dish down onto the porch, but she manages to refrain, giving the woman a tight smile as she accepts the dish with just enough force that it could be considered a yank.
“Sure thing, Cheryl,” she says brightly, using her foot to slam the door before the woman finishes opening her mouth to correct her.

Summary
"Sorry 'bout that, I might've forgotten to tell Maria that you guys were comin'... or stayin' for that matter." Tommy explained, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Are you sure it's fine? Ellie and I can find somewhere else to stay, we don't wanna cause any trouble."
Ellie looked up at him sharply. "Joel..." she whined. They finally had a home or at least a temporary one. Why was he willing to give it up so easily?
"Really, it's fine," Tommy assured. "It's a big house for the two of us. Plus, we could use some help with the animals."
"Sheep?" Ellie asked enthusiastically with a smile on her face.
"Yes, we could also use some help with the sheep."
Ellie squealed and tugged on Joel's jacket.
One look at her smile, and he knew what his decision would be.

Summary
“Joel.” He says. He’s Texan, which as far as Ellie’s concerned is an accent-imitating jackpot.
"Can I call you Joe?"
"No."
"Jojo?"
"Absolutely not."
There's a brief silence.
“You’re gonna stop me from getting shot in the face?”“That’s the job.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the (alleged) daughter of the new president, Ellie Wiliams is hellbent on making herself as much of a nuisance as possible. Joel Miller, the virtually unreadable and perpetually grumpy bodyguard assigned to watch her for eighteen hours a day, certainly thinks she's doing a good job of it. But as Ellie processes losses of her past and present, she slowly begins to realise just how valuable it can be to have someone watching your back.

She’s not expecting the bombshell he drops on her.
“Ellie, this is Joel.”
“What?” She’s not sure why Tommy thinks this is the time to joke around. “No, that’s my dad. Marlene said so.”
“I’d know my brother anywhere,” Tommy insists, eyes still locked on the photo.

(Joel is Ellie's biological father, and it takes a couple of old journals and some 15 year old photos to uncover the truth.)

And he thinks, as he sees the man reach out to brush a lock of hair behind that girl’s ear, it’d be better to step in now.
Joel don’t know how things like this are done here, still new to Jackson after only eight months of living here with Ellie. He don’t know if there’s rules in place against…what’s the word for it? An older guy goin’ after a kid? He can’t remember.
He does know one thing. It ain’t fuckin’ happening on his watch.

Summary
Just a regular day, but they were the days Ellie liked the most.
Then Tommy came over.
That, in itself, wasn’t the problem. The problem was the fact that he had interrupted their breakfast by pounding on the door like someone was dying. Ellie flashed a look to Joel, but he was already standing, looking slightly worried as he walked toward the front door just beyond the kitchen. Tommy beat him to it, opening their front door just as Joel reached it.
“Joel.”
The word was spoken with such soft desperation that Ellie was on her feet in an instant. Something was wrong, something was happening, and whatever it was had Tommy shaken enough to say Joel’s name like that.
“Joel. There’s a woman at the gate.”
(Or Sarah lives! somehow! And Ellie is forced to realize her place besides Joel now that his REAL daughter is home)

Summary
“It’s okay. I know a guy.” Ellie likes talking about Joel like he’s her mob lackey or something. Makes everything feel a little less looming and leering and lethal. She called Joel "a guy" when it came to getting an extra slice of pie or getting outside of Jackson's walls when she needed a day off of school, when she couldn’t fucking stomach it anymore. He told her to cut it out whenever she called him that. It was a bit. She liked all of their bits these days. “He’ll get you out too.”
“I’m Ellie," she volunteers though she doesn't want to. This woman isn’t an enemy. She’s as caged in as Ellie, worn down to the point that she barely had her wits left about her. There was a look in people’s eyes when they got that way, when they’d started giving up hope. Ellie would fucking know.
The woman shakes something loose from her bones, digs her teeth against her lip before she answers, “I’m Sarah.”
Ellie snorts. “Yeah,” she says with only the edges of humor clinging on. “He’ll definitely fucking save you.”
or: On Outbreak Night Joel and Tommy are separated from Sarah. They spend the next twenty-one years assuming each other is dead. Until Ellie and Sarah find each other in the same awful circumstances.

Summary
“Joel Miller?”
When Joel turns in the direction of the voice, he sees Abby, the young woman they’d saved earlier.
Only there’s something about the look on her face that leaves him on edge—almost like there’s something bothering her, something she’s not saying—that has him rethinking his next words in the space of a second.
He doesn’t hesitate when he responds, lying through his teeth.
“Williams, actually.”

Summary
“Ever kissed a girl?”
The question seems to take some of the air out of the room, and for a moment, she can only focus on breathing.
“Y-yeah,” she says after a moment. “I have.”
Violet leans in.
“You wanna kiss another one?” She asks, so close she can feel the warmth of her breath against her lips.
She gets in one brief nod, her half of a sandwich tumbling out of her hand, before Violet is kissing her, and for a long, long moment, her world is Violet’s shampoo and her soft lips and the feel of her cheek beneath her palm, a perfect moment of-
“What in the hell is going on here?”
They knock heads at the harsh, angry voice, and she blinks over to find Violet’s dad standing in the doorway, glowering at them.

"Wow, dude, this thing is awesome. Does it generate its own electricity?" Peter flipped the hammer once in the air and caught it, watching in amazement as sparks danced over it. "Like, I know you're the god of thunder, but I didn't know your hammer had magic powers too! That is so cool. I want one. Like, I won't get it, obviously, 'cause I don't want to steal your thunder—no pun intended.”
He grinned at his totally-intended pun, but Thor didn't react. Not even a twitch of the lips.
“Okay, yeah, that was a dumb joke,” Peter admitted. “Sorry. Here's your hammer, Mr. Thor.” He held out the weapon to its rightful owner.
Thor just stared.

Summary
Homecoming AU.
Ben and May divorced before Peter’s parents died, so when Ben is murdered Peter goes into foster care. It takes just a tiny taste of superpowers for Peter to decide he doesn’t want to put up with his horrible foster father anymore—the streets are infinitely more appealing. All he wants is to be Spider-Man anyway.
So he leaves.
Simple.
Simple, that is, until Iron Man needs Spider-Man’s help. Peter isn’t about to turn down an opportunity to fight alongside Tony Freaking Stark, but he also isn’t going to let his hero know that his recruit is a fifteen-year-old homeless dropout. So they strike a deal. Peter will help Tony. In return, the mask stays on.
And that’s when things get complicated.
