Summary
Since being stranded here, I have concluded the following: 1. I’ve been in a dust storm for several sols. 2. Shit. I suppose I’ll just have to think of something. Or die. Nicky, my love wherever you are, remember how we always joked that I was the very lowest ranked member of the crew, and that I would only be 'in command' if I were the only one left?
Well I'm in command now.

Summary
“I don’t mean to be insensitive here, Ellie. I don’t. But I think it’s important for you to be realistic about something. Your mother didn’t stop fighting for a cure just because she got pregnant. Anything could have happened to her- anything could have happened to you. But she decided that was a risk she was willing to take. Losing you for greater good was always a possibility for her. She was willing to pay the cost.”
It aches. Physical, cutting pain that wells in her throat and stings in her eyes. Confirmation of the fear that sits with her in her bed at night, curled up next to her on the ratty old mattress. It rises in her chest when the other girls cut their eyes her way before giggling behind cupped hands. It rings in her ears in the silence of the hole, an unfriendly ghost that won’t leave her alone like everyone else has.
No one wants her. No one ever has.
or,
Ellie's known the plan from the very beginning. Joel...hasn't.

Summary
“FEDRA Military Preparatory has an opening for guaranteed two weeks of work,” the official replies, “pays twenty cards a day.”
Joel arches an eyebrow skeptically. “What’s the catch? Good pay and guaranteed two weeks of work, and nobody wants it?”
“Not a lot of people want to work with the kids,” FEDRA guy says nonchalantly, “they’re a sad sight.”
Joel blinks. “The kids are workin’ the job?”
Shit, it’s gotta be a breeze job if they got the little rats doin’ it. Guaranteed good pay for two weeks and a lighter load? It’s a bit tempting.
“It’s all I’ve got for today,” says the official, ignoring his question, “take it or leave it.”
Against his better judgment, Joel says, “I’ll take it.”

Summary
"“It’s ok, baby girl,” he says in a breath as he shuts his eyes, trying to keep himself upright against a surge of heartache. He hears the words as if someone else has said them, like they didn’t leave his lips – but immediately feels the truth in it. The wall he’s tried to keep up between Ellie and Sarah, the nothing-but-bullshit line he’s drawn to try to somehow separate what they are to him is gone. There’s no more pretending. She’s his to take care of – that’s how she ended up here shaking and bleeding, after all, isn’t it?"

Joel & Ellie straight up not having a good time. Picks up after Joel finds Ellie in Silver Lake. Another after David comfort fic for those of us who love ep 8 aftermath angst. Me trying to answer my burning questions - what happened next, and how did they survive??content warnings - David got farther than a wandering hand - s/a + violence + generally disturbing stuff
