Summary
The werewolf is tall, massive really, like all its counterparts, but it's hunched over, almost like it’s trying to make itself less intimidating. That, on top of the tattered gray shirt hanging off its shoulders, makes Kaitlyn realize who exactly is before her.
“Dylan?” She breathes, hardly believing it herself.
---
Dylan gets infected and turns into a werewolf. Somehow, that still doesn’t stop him from saving his friends.

Summary
She has mixed emotions when word makes its way to them that Joel Miller has returned to Jackson.
Tommy perks up at once, so clearly happy about it that she smiles completely reflexively just to see it. It’s a different side to him, him with Joel, a man who still worships his older brother to some degree.
No matter how little his older brother might deserve it.
To his credit, Tommy doesn’t ditch her, even if walking beside him feels like leash training a new puppy, the way he pulls forward and then catches himself, returning to her side. This late in her pregnancy, she’s almost at the waddling stage, and there’s only so fast she can get.
As they walk, she prepares herself for a silent stand-off with Joel. They’ll need to get some things straight if he is indeed here to stay the way she knows Tommy hopes he is.

Summary
It wouldn’t be such a problem if she didn’t have such a massive crush on Dina, a crush that sometimes feels like it might be going somewhere when their eyes meet or Dina does stuff like reaching out to fix her ponytail for her, which sends little sparks of electricity throughout her entire body. They even linked pinkies during the last movie night, when Joel had opted out to go play poker with Tommy at the bar so she hadn’t been sitting next to him for once.
She wants to tell him so badly, wants to include him in this part of her life. She knows from other kids that they don’t usually tell their parents who they like, at least not until they’re dating or something, but Joel’s the person she wants to tell everything to. He’s always her first stop after a successful hunt or a good grade on a test or the highest score at archery practice. She wants to tell him about Dina, wants to be able to bring Dina around him. She likes being at home more than she likes most things, and she wants to be able to have Dina over in the place that she likes the most. She wants to pull Dina into game night with them and Tommy and Maria, wants to slowly knit her into their little family.

Summary
In his many years of taking on jobs for too-little pay, there’s one assignment he’s never worked. The other workers call it the “preschool brigade,” the FEDRA-school kids sent out into the field for what they call “work experience” to get them used to the real world. Really, it’s a behavioral tool, he knows, an example of “better act right or you’ll end up like these poor fuckers when you’re grown.”
He's deliberately never worked on one, uninterested in being put in charge of a kid doing a dangerous job they shouldn’t be. The kids that get sent on the preschool brigade are the ones FEDRA doesn’t necessarily care about getting back, after all, and there are things even adults shouldn’t be doing, not as untrained as most of them are.
And then comes the day one of the FEDRA guards assigned to his work detail that leads over a sullen-looking girl, who kicks rocks the entire way.

Summary
Joel’s on edge the entire time they’re in the hospital.
He’s not stupid. He knows how science-types tend to put the why above the how. He sees the way they look at Ellie, like she’s a fascinating specimen instead of a child. There’s a calculation in their faces that he mistrusts immensely, and he knows at once that he won’t leave any of them alone with Ellie.
They try to keep him out of the room at first when they do their tests, but HIPAA died twenty years ago along with the rest of their world, and it only takes pinning one doctor to the wall by his throat for them to see that he’s best left to his own judgment calls about whether or not he needs to stay with his kid.
The gratitude in Ellie’s grip when she reaches for his hand when they start drawing blood tells him he made the right one.
(an alternate ending in which Joel doesn't have to Rambo an entire hospital) (aka Joel being a great dad while terrorizing an entire building of medical professionals)

Summary
“I was just…I was wondering what you do. You know. For like…punishment.” She interrupts him. She needs to get the answer already, needs to know what to expect before she drives herself crazy with anticipation.
“Well I was more into grounding than goddamn child abuse.”
“Grounding like…” Her face scrunches in confusion as she dares to look at him. The word is foreign and the best guess she has doesn’t seem right, but she also doesn’t know what else it could be. “Like being…in the ground?”
Joel stares at her for a long, long moment before he speaks.
“Jesus fucking Christ.”

Summary
His first warning that something is very wrong is how quiet the house is.
“I’m home,” he calls, sitting down on their entryway bench with a groan and working his boots off. “Ellie?” He calls when he doesn’t get a response. Her boots are haphazardly discarded by the door as usual, so he knows she’s home, but she only rarely doesn’t come barreling down the stairs the moment the door opens, making his heart skip a beat each time with fear that she’s about to take a header in her excitement.
Even after the call, however, no Ellie appears.

Summary
The first time she comes barreling into the house like the devil’s on her heels, he’s on his feet with his gun in hand at once, stepping between her and the door, sure an intruder is about to burst through after her. He readies himself for a fight, already planning how to get an attacker out of the house and away from Ellie.
And then he hears her laughing.
He turns to see her, panting and sweaty, laid out on the floor like she’s a rug, her face practically glowing with the force of her smile. She lifts both hands to the air in fists and cheers.
“What are you doing,” he asks, but the question comes out flat in light of his confusion. He gives the door one more look, but no intruder is imminent, and he holsters his gun, going to one knee beside Ellie, still on her back, breathing hard.
“I beat it!” She says, clearly proud about whatever the hell she’s talking about.
“Beat what?” He asks.
“Curfew!” She nearly crows.
He blinks.
It’s possible they’ve had a misunderstanding about what exactly a curfew is.

Summary
John Marston is ambushed by the Pinkertons and dies in 1911 after hunting down all his old gang members, not getting to finish the happy life with his family. Why then does he wake up in 1899 on Colter with Javier and Arthur rescuing him?
It seems fate, or a more malevolent force, has given John a second chance and now he has to live among his familial ghosts as he figures out how he can fix it this time. But, people are getting concerned by his new behaviour- what's there to expect from a 39 year mind in a 26 year old body? Or more importantly, what's there to expect from a hardened man forced to live next to everybody who betrayed him?
THIS IS JUST MY EXCUSE TO WRITE RDR 1 JOHN MARSTON, THE LOML. I wish the Van der Linde gang could have seen what a fucking force of nature he became- both as a mature man but also the fastest gunslinger in the west. Took down the rebellion in Mexico and all of Micah's gang in the mountains without batting an eye: he deserves MORE CREDIT.
I'm not sure where I'm going to go with this because it's been a while since I've played either game but I hate mischaracterising Marston. If anybody has any advice, let me know.

Summary
If you had told Alan a few hours ago that he’d be sitting here thinking about kissing smarmy, self-obsessed Ian Malcolm, of all people, he’d have said it was more unlikely than dinosaurs coming back to life. But – they’re probably about to die, he’s never kissed a man before, and at this point he’d do just about anything to get Malcolm to stop talking.

Roy hadn’t really meant to hug Jamie. But he hadn’t been thinking much at all, just white-hot noises of anger, and his body had moved before he did.
But now he has Jamie tucked against his chest, and he’s muffling sobs into Roy’s jacket, and Roy doesn’t think he’s ever been so sure of a choice.

When Joel is out on patrol with Jesse again, he finds that he’s starting to enjoy the boy’s company, because at least he isn’t scared of Joel looking at him.
“Jesse,” he grunts one morning, swatting a tree branch in the warm air.
The boy stops in the middle of his useless anecdote about something or other. “Yeah?”
“Are people scared of me?”

“It’s about Will.”
“The kitman?” Rebecca asked. “Don’t tell me we’re going to promote another kitman. Remember what happened last time –”
“No, not that,” Higgins said. “No HR sent back his tax forms. Apparently they’re filled out incorrectly.”
She furrowed her brow at him. “So have him fill them out correctly,” she said, like it was obvious.
Higgins held up a finger. “That would be the easy solution, but it’s…more than that."

"What in the deep seven hell's is all this racket?" Arthur groused loudly, letting every inch of irritation he felt seep into his voice. The group parted and he found himself standing near Dutch and Hosea on his left. A loud muffled voice drew his attention. Arthur blinked down blankly at the curled up form of Albert Mason tied up and gagged near Bill and his horse.
"Mason?"
