Summary
She's whiter than sin and beat to hell, blood crusted up under her nose and around her mouth when he gently lifts the poorly stitched together sack up and away from her face with hands that don't feel like his own.
All of maybe seven or eight, if he had to guess, kids somehow looking both younger and older than they're meant to these days.
She looks like a baby to him, her features all soft despite being so damn thin.
With an odd sense off detachment, he rolls up her sleeves and checks both arms before moving onto her legs in search of any sign that's she's been infected, but the tell-tale climb of Cordyceps is nowhere to be found, no bite mark to mock him. Not on her back that's a swirl of blackened bruising and bumpy spine or on the hollow of her stomach that's just as tender and hard to look at, the cut of her ribs striking.
There ain't a thing on her outside of a list of hurts that's a mile long and etched into her skin.

Summary
It’s the nicest thing anyone could do in that moment. Because Tommy’s nice. Despite how hard she’s trying not to like him, she does.
And Ellie’s pretty sure he hates her.
Or: Actually that pretty much sums it up. Tommy's a great guy! So why does he seem to hate her?

Summary
Joel takes a few steps back before he offers his hand. Ellie cocks her brow, skeptical, but he doubles down, wiggling his fingers in enticement. “C’mon girl. Humor me. I ain’t gettin’ any younger.”
Their fallout is pretty standard knowledge in Jackson and Ellie likes being gossip fodder just about as much as he does. But in the end, she gives in with a sigh and takes his hand, letting him lead her out to the dance floor. “Fine. But only because I haven’t earned my assisting the elderly badge.”
“Baby,” He chuffs out a laugh, “They’d kick you out the Girl Scouts before you could say Thin Mints.”
or;
In another universe, Ellie tries to mend her fallout with Joel by giving him a choice: take her to the rumored firefly hospital in Alaska, or stay behind and keep her girl safe.
