Summary
The groaning of the wood has become a recent comfort, listening to the sound of it underneath Ellie’s feet. Shuffling around her bedroom. Down the hallway. On the stairs. In the kitchen. At the doorway of his bedroom. He looks there now and finds it empty.
Which is a good thing. He reminds himself that, Ellie having her independence and her room is a good thing. A normal phase of life. The one that comes after a sleeping bag no more than an arms reach away.
Still, he needs to see her. He navigates through the darkness and out to the hallway where the moonlight spills through the window. His hand hovers over a crystal doorknob decorated with faded-out stickers before he turns it.

Summary
An influential member of Jackson just brought in a lone survivor who speaks of their holy prophet: David, cruelly slain. The survivor seeks to resurrect David’s holy message, right here in Jackson.
Ellie never told Joel what happened at Silver Lake. Now that they’re settled in Jackson, Joel tries to be fine with that. He’d do anything to keep her safe, but when Tommy brings him news of a survivor stirring up trouble, truths are brought to light to prevent further bloodshed.
Tommy has no clue what’s going on and really wishes his brother would stop threatening to murder people.

Summary
"A small girl was curled up on the stage on her bare knees, her arms across her uncovered chest in a heart-wrenching attempt at modesty. Her back was raked apart like putty, long and deep lashes surrounded by raised, inflamed skin. Ellie. The little girl with a mutilated back had a name.
Absurdly, Joel’s brain thought, her knees must hurt, digging into the wood like that."
(alternatively, FEDRA finds Ellie before the Fireflies do and stages a public punishment for sneaking into the mall.)

Summary
When Joel calls his name and comes jogging towards him in Jackson, pulling him into a hug as fierce, as joyful as the ones he got when he was back on leave during his army days, he thinks, Is that all it took? I just needed to leave him alone to let him heal? I could’ve just fucking ditched him and then gone back? It’s a painful thought, that his own attempt at support just hindered Joel’s healing, but it’s a giddy one, too, the idea of his brother back with him.
Then he sees Joel catch a kid who almost falls off of her horse when she dismounts, the motion as easy and thoughtless as if he were-
Oh, he thinks, when he sees the way the girl looks at Joel, all sass and no regard, clearly not afraid of him in the slightest, the way she uses his personal space as her own without a second thought. Oh, you paternal fucker.
(tommy loses the person his brother was on the night of the outbreak) (it takes 20 years and a mouthy little punk to get him back) (ft. miller brother feels, ellie being feral, ellie thinking she and tommy are mortal enemies, and star wars)

Summary
It’s almost like he’s living a memory, or a nightmare.
Or maybe both.
Tommy isn’t seeing Ellie, lying there with a pretty minor graze wound. He’s seeing something twenty years in the past, another little girl who died in his brother’s arms of a similar, but much more fatal injury.
(Tommy has trauma from watching his niece die. it comes out to play when Ellie gets hurt)

Summary
“Meet Tara, our latest resident,” he says to them before turning to the woman. “This is my brother, Joel, and my niece, Ellie,” he says, and her already-limited reserve of politeness is lost for a moment behind the way she feels mildly stunned by her casual inclusion as his niece in the introduction.
Thankfully, adults tend to look only at adults first, so she has a moment to recover before-
-but no, Tara is looking at her, only at her, with an intensity that makes her feel uneasy. Immediately she presses a bit tighter to Joel, who looks down at her before looking back up to Tara, frowning a bit. He shifts Ellie a bit, getting her just slightly more behind him before he extends his hand, breaking Tara’s unnerving stare with a blink as she registers it in her field of vision.
“A pleasure,” he says, and Tara fumbles for a moment before she takes it, even as her gaze flits back to Ellie briefly.
(ellie happens to resemble the dead daughter of a new resident in jackson) (surely this will not cause anything bad at all)

Summary
It’s a bit like trying on an old jacket, settling into Jackson. The general shape of it is familiar, even comforting in its own way, but there’s an adjustment period, a little breaking-in until everything fits like it should.
Well, it’s like an old jacket for him. The way Ellie looks sometimes, completely bewildered and turning to him for reassurance or clarification, he thinks it’s a bit more like trying on a Halloween costume for her.
Tommy and Maria had brought them their meals at first, and he’d at least been gratified to get some real food into her. After Silver Lake, she’d been off all meat for a long while, and in the hospital, exhaustion and pain had stolen what little appetite she’d managed to recover by that point. There’d been a little adjustment period here in Jackson, when they fell back on their routine of him taking bites of meat first to reassure her they were safe, but she’s slowly begun building back some flesh on her skinny little self, and it’s like he can feel a bit of his own restlessness settle with each plate of cheesy potatoes she downs with relish.
(settling into jackson goes well, giving joel and ellie their first taste of peace)
(and then someone sees ellie's bite scars)

Summary
Somewhere along the way, his girl’s gotten to believing that she’s a superhero. He doesn’t disagree, not necessarily, but he still sees the parts of her that are less man of steel and more little girl that grew up lonely and leans in to praise like a plant growing towards the sun. He sees it. Tommy and Maria see it. And evidently, Marshall fucking Green saw it.
Or, everyone has blind spots. Someone tries to exploit one of Ellie’s and its handled accordingly.

Summary
“Yeah but they don’t have the fucking balls to come in here after me, especially not if you’re here.”
“And what if I’m not, one day? I don’t live here you know, kid.”
“Ellie,” she corrects him, unaware that Joel already knows her name from the first night those kids were after her, “my name is Ellie.”
He waves her words away. “My point still stands.”

Summary
Joel is holding his daughter in his arms, the two of them sobbing together as Tommy stitches the gaping wound in Sarah’s leg. They’d managed to make it back home, but Sarah had been drooping ever closer to unconsciousness and Joel was terrified that if she slipped a little bit further, he would lose her altogether.
“You’re okay,” He whispers the words into her hair like a mantra. “I’ve got you, babygirl. You’re doing so good.”
what if…
Sarah lives. Joel gets his girls.Series

Summary
One of the nurses gave Ellie a pad of paper and a crayon. Make a list, she had said with a hesitant smile, of all the things you’re going to do when the world goes back to normal.
Ellie doesn’t know what normal is. To her, normal is the feeling of her bookbag against her back, weighed down by the familiar heft of a gun, and the casual brush of shoulders with Joel when she forgets about things like “personal space.” Normal, to Ellie, is taking the first watch because Joel gets pissy when she even thinks about taking second.
So, Ellie doesn’t have the best gauge for “back to normal,” so instead she writes lists about things she hates. Clickers and soggy socks, obviously. She’s not the biggest fan of pinto beans, so she writes that down towards the bottom.
"Reasons why this hospital fucking sucks."
Ellie even underlines the title twice just so the nurses that come by the check her vitals know she fucking means it.
1. They keep trying to take Joel away.

Summary
“What’s going on?” Ellie demands, spitting like an angry cat, safe from her place behind Joel.
If she didn’t think she was probably about a minute away from getting her head bashed in if she doesn’t peace-make, she might find it cute. As it is, it’s sort of just fucking up her plan for how this would go.
“The scouts didn’t know it was Joel,” she says to her before she looks to him. Ellie’s her priority here, but Joel still looks capable of taking out any other threat he perceives, and she’d rather not be involved in a fight for her life. “You’re free to leave,” she tells him, and she doesn’t miss how Ellie holds on slightly tighter.
Or how Joel reaches back, just briefly, squeezing her arm in return.
“I’m not going anywhere,” he says, voice hard. “Not without her.”
“You did your job,” she says, a little confused. “We have vehicles here. Take your pick, we’ll give you whatever supplies you want.”
“I’m not leaving her,” he says. “You’re getting both or neither.”
Behind him, Ellie nods once, decisively.
She resists the urge to rub at her temples in response to the headache she can already feel forming.

Summary
She didn’t used to hate school. She didn’t love it, but she likes reading, and science is objectively cool.
But now, each time she sits in class, all she can think about is David saying, “I was a teacher, taught kids about your age,” and then she can’t help but stare at the teachers and think, “Are you a monster, too?” Every smile, every encouragement, every smiley face on her quizzes, all of them just make her think of sitting across a fire from someone trying to make her laugh, knowing already that it was only an attempt to make her drop her guard enough to-
She doesn’t trust teachers, is the key point.

I love you so much it bleeds out of me."
