Summary
"You're right to be suspicious," Shadow Man told Bass in his scratchy half-hiss of a voice. "Wily is up to the devil with that Evil Energy he found so long ago. I’ve seen him infuse the red robot with the darkness. Oh, how the young one screams and screams.”
--
Nearing the end of his life, Dr. Wily pours every last thing he has into his opus: An eerie red robot with strange eyes and a lush blonde mane. But Wily's unorthodox development methods have left the the tortured youngster teetering on the edge of violent insanity. Loathe as he is to admit he needs help, Bass recruits Protoman to get a handle on things before Wily is ripped to pieces by his newborn son.

Summary
Is this, Ellie wonders, what it’s like to loved? She’s never been loved before, not really, so she isn’t sure, but when she surfaces from the grips of her nightmares and Joel is there to cup her face in his hands, to wipe away her tears with his thumbs, to tell her to breathe, that she’s okay, that she’s safe, she thinks:
This is it.

Ellie Williams saves the world.

We Live In an Uncaring Universe by cardigains

Summary
They live in an uncaring universe, and no amount of him caring is going to eliminate that fact; no degree will protect her from what else is out there.
So he lays it out for her, spits words to cut her deep and sever any burgeoning tie that might be forming between them, some broken tendrils of himself still reaching out to her, hoping to tether something until he’s not just this free-floating, floundering man alone in this world.
The world don’t care about her. Joel can’t afford to either.
//
or: It was a lesson learned early on in Joel's life, over and over again. The world isn't gonna protect you, won't protect the ones you love. It only took one night to learn he doesn't stand a chance of doing so either.

A woman is a changeling by treadlightlymydarling

Summary
Tess never intended to become a mother.
Some of the women she comes across in the QZ still call themselves that, mother, the first descriptor they’ll use for themselves, even though their children have been dead three or four times longer than they were ever alive.
The word they use for her is dangerous.
But now it comes down this, the woman who never wanted a kid and the man who has never gotten over losing one. A kid who has never known what it is to have a parent.
The woman who can’t even find the courage to ask Joel to love her, a man who can’t even refer to Tess as anything other than a business partner. A kid who doesn’t even understand what love is.
They’re an emotionally stunted trio who only have each other and it feels like a recipe for disaster.
(Tess lives).
