    Summary

    She turns back around and picks up Abby’s hands to try and rub warmth back into them. She very pointedly does not acknowledge the pang in her chest, and how much it feels like when she found her, starved and tied to a post. Then, Joel’s lessons on survival ring in her brain.

    Warm the body first. Losing a finger or two ain’t nothing compared to dying. Okay? Dry heat until they are no longer in danger, and then move ‘em to a warm bath if ya have one on hand.

    Abby isn’t going to get warm enough like this. Lying stiff on the ground, her eyes close as she loses consciousness again. Ellie presses her fingers to her pulse. It’s too slow. She’s still too cold.

    There was, another bit of advice that Joel gave.

    Now Ellie, sometimes you’re not gonna have enough blankets to get ‘em warm. Or maybe they don’t have much time. If that’s the case, body heat works well.

    Ellie closes her eyes and swallows.

    If she was going to go to all of this trouble to save Abby in the first place, she can’t just stop at the finish line.

    Summary

    forced roomates, hazing, threesomes, drunken confessions, crime. what else is college for?

    "and… she kept looking at me like she wanted to say more. or do more. she said i made her feel safe. no one’s ever said that to me. not like that."

    but there’s no real softness behind it. if anything, dina sounds a little proud. like she knew exactly what she was doing. like she wanted abby to fall apart just enough to hand her something useful. it doesn’t sound romantic. it sounds calculated. ellie doesn’t know what stings worse.

    “i recorded it. i didn’t mean to. i just… couldn’t stop listening. please don’t kill me.”

    Summary

    “Blue eyes inched their way up to the dark-haired man’s face, watching how his savior’s eyebrow quirked up, accompanied by a pitying smile on his lips. This was the kind of man he wouldn’t have hesitated to jail, and leave rotting behind unforgiving metal bars secluded from society. But, given the circumstance of their encounter, he was hesitant to condemn the only other goddamn person he had seen.”

    Or: Instead of meeting Morgan and Duane while searching for his family, Rick meets Virginia-bound Negan - who saves him from certain death. Under these circumstances can the pair find companionship within each-other, or even something more?
