    Summary

    “It’s okay. I know a guy.” Ellie likes talking about Joel like he’s her mob lackey or something. Makes everything feel a little less looming and leering and lethal. She called Joel "a guy" when it came to getting an extra slice of pie or getting outside of Jackson's walls when she needed a day off of school, when she couldn’t fucking stomach it anymore. He told her to cut it out whenever she called him that. It was a bit. She liked all of their bits these days. “He’ll get you out too.”

    “I’m Ellie," she volunteers though she doesn't want to. This woman isn’t an enemy. She’s as caged in as Ellie, worn down to the point that she barely had her wits left about her. There was a look in people’s eyes when they got that way, when they’d started giving up hope. Ellie would fucking know.

    The woman shakes something loose from her bones, digs her teeth against her lip before she answers, “I’m Sarah.”

    Ellie snorts. “Yeah,” she says with only the edges of humor clinging on. “He’ll definitely fucking save you.”

    or: On Outbreak Night Joel and Tommy are separated from Sarah. They spend the next twenty-one years assuming each other is dead. Until Ellie and Sarah find each other in the same awful circumstances.

    Summary

    "I don't think I can ever forgive you for that. But I would like to try."

    -

    “Where is Joel?” asks Ellie. He’s dead. He’s dead because of her, and they don’t want to tell her.

    “Joel just got out of surgery,” Maria answers calmly, taking both of Ellie’s hands in hers. Ellie’s eyes snap back open. “Tommy is with him. You’ll be able to see him soon.” Ellie starts to sit again, to stand, to go to him, but Maria squeezes her hands in warning. “First, we need to make sure you’re okay. Next, we need to understand what happened out there, what Tommy and Dina can’t tell us. Then, I’ll take you to Joel.”

    -

    Or: Joel survives, Ellie is still bent on revenge, and their family just wants to help.

    Summary

    She hates this. Hates crying, hates being scared, and more than anything, she hates that she’s doing it in front of Joel. It’s weak and pathetic, and she’s neither of those things. At least she never used to be. Traveling with Joel has helped her toughen up more than FEDRA ever did — the biggest danger she faced at school was fucking Bethany. Now, a million evils lurk around every corner, down every ditch, up every mountain: infected and raiders and hunters, oh my.
