Summary
When Joel invites Sarah and Ellie back to the ranch over the summer, it's not for nothing - turns out he's gotten a girlfriend since they last saw him and surprise! It's not just a barbecue he's throwing - it's a wedding. Sarah cherishes the distraction, resolving to put all her energy into creating the best last-minute, backyard wedding Wyoming has ever seen. And with Ellie by her side to help, it should be a slam dunk.
But something with Ellie is...off.
Her sister is good at playing the part, but it doesn't take long for Sarah to pick up on the loss of appetite, the exhaution, the stiff way she holds herself around Dina. She's hiding something, she knows it. And Sarah wants to hold her, comfort her, and tell her it can't be that bad. Especially considering what skeletons she's hiding in her own closet.
Because the thing is, Sarah telling her dad she's single and pregnant isn't exactly the wedding gift she had in mind.

It all goes down at the Miller Ranch on the 4th of July.

Summary
Anna Williams and Joel Miller were never supposed to cross paths twice — let alone for fifteen years. She’s a whip-smart, vivacious Boston woman with a rebellious streak trying to keep her head up after losing both parents in a car accident. He’s a grumpy Texas single dad with a limited patience trying to rebuild after his marriage imploded. The two of them meet in a bar while Anna’s in Austin during Spring Break and have a shameless one night stand with the expectation that they’ll never have to see each other again.
But when Anna’s best friend, Marlene, and Joel’s brother, Tommy, decide to turn their own spring fling into a committed relationship, Joel and Anna quickly realize they’re stuck with each other. Their lives keep colliding: weddings, birthdays, holidays, and every family event Marlene and Tommy throw their way. Between stolen glances, drunken arguments, and a few more salacious hookups, Anna and Joel can’t decide if they’re soulmates or just bad habits that never quite fade.
A no-cordyceps AU about found family, resilience, and falling for the one person who drives you absolutely insane.

Summary
She scrambles down off the breakwater into the shallows, feeling the lap of the frigid sea through the thick rubber of her waders. Trawling a dented wire basket through the tide, she lets the saltwater cleanse the bruises on her wrists, the blood beneath her fingernails.

An ode to New England, to Ellie and Joel, and to the relentless tide of love and loss that brings them together in every universe <3

Summary
Joel hears a tiny, sharp whistle and a grunt from behind him. “Yo, potato. Cool it, man. You bulldozed an innocent NPC on your quest for knowledge.”
The kid turns around with a guilty smile. “Sorry, Mom.”
“Don’t apologize to me,” the voice says and Joel looks up to see a young lady who looks barely old enough to order a beer, offering him a hand; she pulls him up with surprising strength, and his eyes trace the intricate tattoo of her forearm before his eyes flicker to her face - pale, freckled, framed by short and shaggy red hair and adorned with a small smirk. “S’not my kneecaps you nearly ripped from their sockets.”
“Sorry about your kneecaps, sir.” the kid says.
“No worries," he gruffs.
“He’s being nice,” she says to her son. “If it happens again, he’s darting you with one of those poison frogs.”

On a special science museum outing for his niece, Joel meets Ellie and her son, JJ.
