Summary
Ellie knows before she’s even told that the woman is a former FEDRA officer. There’s a way she carries herself that raises Ellie’s hackles at once, makes her stand up straighter, makes her hyper-aware of the dirt on her shoes and the way her ponytail is slipping out, both infractions that would be punishable under FEDRA regulations.
In an instant, Ellie knows they’re destined to hate each other.

Joel and Ellie, as Tommy has so intellectually concluded because he’s a genius like that, intertwined themselves so flawlessly within each other that he sometimes can’t see where Joel ends and Ellie begins. It’s just them. Always them. In the same way it’ll be Tommy and his kid in a little bit, it’s Joel and Ellie.
Always Joel and Ellie.

Summary
“Oh, our Ellie-girl is growin’ up,” Tommy coos, and Ellie kicks him under the table. He winces, but that smug smile doesn’t wipe off his face, so she kicks him again, a little harder.
“Ellie, stop that,” Joel says, not even looking but knowing exactly what sort of a menace she’s being.
“He’ll be fine,” Maria snorts. “Ellie’s got tiny feet.”
“Hey!” Ellie cries out, indignant. Just for that, she kicks Tommy a third time.

Summary
He wonders sometimes if someone is missing Ellie. Someone who thinks she’s safe at school, someone who doesn’t know she’s gone on this harebrained mission. He doesn’t really think it’s true, but it’s not really the point.
The point is this whole little road trip would be so much fucking easier if he could stop remembering that Ellie is somebody’s baby.

Summary
Joel doesn’t remember anything beyond the outpost.
All he knows is that he was there, he lost consciousness and then he was all the way back in 2010. He woke up to his old, shitty apartment in Boston and the overwhelming feeling that he'd lost something.
Ellie. All those years leading up to and after finding her. Seemingly erased. Or yet to happen.
He doesn’t know how.
But he knows he has to find her.
OR
Joel is somehow transported into the past, well before any of the events of the Last of Us Season One take place. Armed with the knowledge of everything that happened the first time around, he makes it his mission to find four year old Ellie, reunite his family and find a safe place for them in the Wyoming wilderness. Once he establishes himself as Jackson's leader, he gets to work giving Ellie the childhood and the family she deserves.

Summary
“Joel Miller?”
When Joel turns in the direction of the voice, he sees Abby, the young woman they’d saved earlier.
Only there’s something about the look on her face that leaves him on edge—almost like there’s something bothering her, something she’s not saying—that has him rethinking his next words in the space of a second.
He doesn’t hesitate when he responds, lying through his teeth.
“Williams, actually.”

(With some quick thinking and a simple lie, Joel unknowingly saves his own life.)

Summary
“Duck do?” Ellie asked from her spot in the carrier.
Joel kept a hand on her back as he scrambled eggs. He was half twisted away from the stove to keep her out of kicking distance of the pan, “Quack-quack.”
“Dog do?”
“Woof-woof.”
“Snail do?” She peered up at him expectantly.
“Snails don’t make a sound,” He flicked the burner off and scooped eggs onto the waiting plate.
“Yep,” Ellie brightened, “They do crunch!”

It started with a deal. Cargo became family, inconvenience became the lifeblood of Joel’s existence, death became as terrifying as it had once been. Failure became incomprehensible.
It ended with a hospital full of dead Fireflies. Or, he’d thought it had ended.
Lying on the basement of that mansion, blood streaking his clothes and face, his brother unconscious beside him, Joel realizes that it ain’t over. It’s only just begun.

Summary
You may have been young when the world fell, but you adapted with all the challenges that come with trying to survive. You spent your time doing runs out in the badlands beyond the QZ walls to ensure people had little pleasures to keep them going. You were dropping off some medical supplies that FEDRA was willing to pay big for when you got tangled up in a mission that involves a teenager with a mouth almost as smart as yours and gruff older man whose graying curls were his only redeeming quality. But the longer you traveled with them and the more that happened out in the open land of what once was, the more you find yourself connecting with them and wanting to protect them both at any cost.
