Summary
“What’re you starin’ at, eh?” He says, suddenly more distinct, and Kieran looks away chastened. He didn’t know Macguire could see him staring. He barely even knew he was staring. “No, come on now. Why’re you… you got a problem?”
“Not a problem,” he says smoothly, easily. He’s usually good at talking drunk men out of fights, but that was before all the whiskey. He goes to say something else, something calming, but he forgets which words to use so nothing at all comes out. Then he tries to busy himself with his drink again, but his glass is still empty. So he stays staring. And Macguire keeps staring back.
“You want’a fuckin’ lamping?”
“No.” Kieran answers dumbly.
“Too bad.” Macguire says, and lunges.It's the tail end of a stormy May in 1898, and Kieran Duffy is the only O'Driscoll to walk out of a disaster of a score in West Elizabeth. He wanders into the Blackwater Saloon and Bar and finds a red-headed irishman staring back at him. Sean wants a partner to take robbing whilst he searches for his gang, and Kieran wants to do anything that will delay him from going back to find Colm. As the summer progresses, things wind up getting better- or a whole lot worse, depending on how you're looking at it.

Summary
Joel broaches the topic of Ellie going down to the clinic once and she spends the next two days ignoring him, because going to the clinic wouldn’t just mean telling people, it would mean acknowledge that it had happened at all, and Ellie had decided pretty steadfastly that she wasn’t going to be doing that ever. It had happened, it was over, and now she never had to think about it again.
Her ignoring it forever plan hit a snag in the third week of being back in Jackson, when her UTI that she had named Fred to try and find something amusing about the fact that she was still dealing with that shit almost two months on, decided to extend beyond her nether regions and make her fucking boobs all gross and weird.

Summary
He felt his rib cage tighten around his lungs and suddenly his previous morality was choking him. She couldn't be his problem. He couldn't handle another responsibility, Sarah could never be anything other than his first priority.
"Dad... please,"
And yet... if anyone could ever convince him to do anything, it was going to be her. Her pleading brown eyes, brimming with tears at the idea of this girl being left out in the cold was ripping through him with a response he didn't want to give.
"For how long?"

Or... Sarah convincing Joel she needs a sibling.

Summary
Ellie slows down and looks back at Joel with chagrin, raising her eyebrows and pursing her lips, but she elbows Sam and gestures for him to wait for Joel and Henry to catch up. He’s reminded with a pang of another little girl on another hiking trip, a far less perilous trip than this on one of the trails outside of Austin, scampering up a boulder that screamed a broken collar bone or broken ankle to him, but she made it down unscathed, rolling her eyes at his worries. Like every memory of her, it’s tinged with the reminder of how, ultimately, all of the worrying he did wasn’t enough, still left her dead, blood staining her favorite t-shirt.
Ellie and Sam are waiting when they catch up, back to giggling over some inside joke. Joel shakes his head, shouldering his backpack and forging ahead.

Sam and Henry live. Adventures and found family bonding ensue on the journey from Kansas City to Jackson and beyond.

Summary
“This is private property.”
Her head snaps up, eyes narrowed as her lips curl into a snarl. “No shit? I thought this was a public fucking park.”
Joel levels a glare at the kid as he loads the washer. “It ain’t. These machines are for residents, not runaways.”
“I’m not a fucking runaway,” she snaps, squaring her shoulders and drawing her backpack closer. “And I am a resident. Kid of the week for the Jenkins. You know, the people who live in 3E?”
“And the Jenkins have you down here doin’ laundry after school every day?” he asks with incredulity.
She glances around the room, a uniquely teenage disdain in her sneer as she surveys the silent machines. “Obviously.”

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.)
