Summary
He makes his way to the closest mirror, grimacing when he notices that he’s bleeding. “I think you broke my nose,” he complains, carefully wiping the blood away. And okay, perhaps it isn’t broken, but it still hurts like hell.
“You hit me first!” he protests, immediately.
“That was an accident,” Napoleon points out, glaring at him through the mirror. “And I didn’t hit you this hard.”
“This was also accident,” the man sentences, crossing his arms. “And it is not my fault you can’t punch properly.”
Or: five first times in Napoleon's developing relationship with Illya and Gaby, plus one regular evening.- Language:

Summary
Being the key to saving humanity is much less glamorous than someone might expect. There’s a lot more bleeding and puking and sweating than she thinks is fair, strictly speaking, and she makes the fun discovery that she loses her shit in an MRI machine when it reminds her of being trapped in a cage, and she has a panic attack so bad Joel almost breaks the machine getting her out.
(She gets sedated before MRIs after that, so she wakes up nauseous and grumpy, but beggars can’t be choosers, and MRI flight risks can’t be vocal about their side effects.)
“Say the word,” Joel always says, when he’s rubbing her back or holding her hair out of the way or letting her clutch his hand while they do a spinal tap, “and we’re out of here.”
“We’re so close,” she always tells him. “They’ll figure it out soon.”
And she believes it, mostly.
Primarily because she has to, if she’s going to keep going.
(the fireflies don't try to kill her, but ellie still has a Very Bad Time in the hospital)

Summary
“Explain,” Ellie echoes, and he feels her hands fist in the fabric of his shirt when she sways too far to the right. His impulse is to reach back to steady her, but this isn’t the moment. Instead he leans back just a bit, and she takes the gesture for what it is, leaning forward a bit more to steady herself against him.
“We didn’t know it was Joel with you,” Marlene says, in that same calm tone. “As soon as we figured it out, we brought him here to recover.”
“And tried to drug me,” Ellie spits like an angry cat.
“You were panicking,” Marlene says. She moves forward a half-step. “We just-”
“Back,” he orders, and after a jerk of the rifle, she does. He doesn’t know what’s going on, not yet, but he knows that Ellie is upset and Marlene has had something to do with it.
And what else does he need to know, really?

Summary
He knows from the moment he sees Joel helping the girl down from the horse she’s on that something’s up. There’s an ease to the movement that says he almost certainly helped her up on the horse as well, and the way she moves with absolute trust that he won’t let her fall says there’s a bond there that’s had time to develop.
The girl sticks close to Joel’s side, eyes wary, as he guides her back over.
“This is Ellie,” Joel says before turning to her. “This is my brother, T-”
“Tommy, yeah. I heard. Not all of us have shit ears, grandpa.”
He blinks at the comment, but Joel doesn’t seem offended, even as he rolls his eyes.
This is his second hint.
(Ellie and Joel from Tommy's POV, ft. some jelly Ellie, Ellie whump, and family bonding)

Summary
“Hey Joel,” she says after a long moment.
“Mm?” He asks, still scanning the dark night around them.
“Can sheep live where it’s warm?” The last word is stretched out by a yawn.
“Not sure.” He shifts his weight and rests one hand on her back so she won’t tip off. When he’s done, he leaves it where it is, rubbing slowly back and forth. She’s almost out, he can tell, lulled by warmth, and rubbing her back like this was always the secret to getting Sarah to conk right out. She’s been restless the past few nights, and he knows she needs to get some actual quality sleep in, not that he has much room to talk on that front.
“You should have some tropical sheep,” she says with a yawn, closing her eyes, body relaxing against him now that she’s warm. “Because this snow stuff is bullshit.”
(Five times Joel and Ellie talk about their futures, and one time they get to live in it)
