    Summary

    “I was just…I was wondering what you do. You know. For like…punishment.” She interrupts him. She needs to get the answer already, needs to know what to expect before she drives herself crazy with anticipation.

    “Well I was more into grounding than goddamn child abuse.”

    “Grounding like…” Her face scrunches in confusion as she dares to look at him. The word is foreign and the best guess she has doesn’t seem right, but she also doesn’t know what else it could be. “Like being…in the ground?”

    Joel stares at her for a long, long moment before he speaks.

    “Jesus fucking Christ.”

    Summary

    "What's that?" she asks.

    He eyes her like he thinks she's going to reach into the pan and take the whole chunk of meat in one bite. "Food."

    "Come on, dude."

    Is he smirking at her? Asshole. "Beef. Not fancy like Bill used to make it, but it'll do. Good to get some protein. And--" Joel looks down at the can before pouring it out "-- you'll like this. S'for kids."

    or

    joel and ellie through food.

    Summary

    “Ellie Miller, pick up the fucking radio,” Joel says dangerously. “Over.”

    Her hand reaches out automatically in response to The Voice. She can feel his anger rolling off the radio in thick waves, but she dimly registers that he gave her his last name. She never corrects people who call her that, and she sometimes writes it on tests and homework, but Joel’s never flat out said it before. Ellie nervously presses the push-to-talk button.

    “I’m here,” she says into the radio. Over, Jesse mouths at her. “Over.”

    “Get your ass back to Jackson, now. You will not follow the buck. You will go home quickly and quietly. I want stealth and speed. Is that clear? Over.”

    Well, that’s fucking ominous.

    (Or: An alternate version of Reckless, still featuring Ellie and Jesse sneaking out to go hunting and shit hitting the fan.)
