Summary
As Ellie and Joel settle into Jackson for good, they bring a secret (for now) little box of vials that changes everything. But how do you tell a town something like this? "By the way, there's now a Cordyceps vaccine and the reason this is so unofficial is that it was invented by the leading American terrorist group..."
Especially since there isn't enough for everyone yet.
This work runs in parallel to "A New Morning Breaks with the Sun" and "A Girl Should Be Two Things," also in this series.

Summary
At FEDRA school, Ellie'd been mostly just "Williams." She liked being a Williams, like her mom. But Jackson was waving this new "Miller" option in her face, and she couldn't stop thinking about it.
It was stupid to be so stuck, when she could just bring it the hell up, and 1. hear Joel rasp "You can tell me, Kiddo," 2. Watch him try to guess what she wanted so he could encourage it, 3. Make her feel like an insightful fucking genius for wanting it. Which was awesome, actually, if she could just decide what she wanted.
This work runs parallel to "Trust" (the vaccine storyline), also in this series.

Summary
The first sign of things being incredibly strange is that Bill phones him. Joel and Bill don’t talk on the phone. Joel talks to Frank sometimes, because Frank still worries about him, but his communication history with Bill can be summed up in text messages shorter than ten words, and the occasional chain email about some kind of conspiracy Bill sends him that he deletes without opening.
Or: Another foster care au! With, uh, a twist?
