Summary
Make friends, do your share, be normal.
It’s a mantra Ellie has been repeating to herself regularly since they got here. The past six months in Jackson have been pretty much the best of her life, and all she’s had to do is make friends, do her share, and be normal.
The last one is pretty key. Nobody wants to be friends with a traumatized freak, so that’s important.
Even though sometimes, it’s harder than it sounds.
(a man approaches Ellie in Jackson and she struggles to figure out his intentions —- joel steps in when he’s needed the most)

Summary
So far he’s known Ellie at fourteen and Ellie at fifteen, and the gaps in his knowledge of her are so vast they seem to fill every spare inch of conscience he has. There’s so much unaccounted for time, times where people did things to her he couldn’t protect her from, times where people hurt her or bullied her or made her feel small, undeserving, useless, unloved.
**
Ellie grows up, a little. It sort of breaks Joel’s heart, a lot.

Summary
Ellie asked if anyone was hurt at the hospital, whether Marlene made it, and Joel had swallowed down dripping poison, a weight like death on his ribcage because he had done what he wished he could've done when Sarah was taken from him all those years ago. He finally saved his daughter, and because of that, he feels an unsettling lack of guilt over it all.
Still, his body hurts seeing how withdrawn Ellie has become.
or: my sort of version of a fix-it fic for the surrogate father/daughter team that makes me feel somehow both incredibly mentally unstable and entirely whole at once
