Summary
In Jackson, survival isn’t just about the infected—it’s about learning to live again.
You arrive in Jackson a shattered version of yourself—angry, haunted, and on edge. The quiet stability of the community is foreign, and though taking a job at the local school gives you a purpose, it doesn’t silence the ghosts of your past. No matter how hard you try to fit in, the townsfolk don’t seem to understand you. Frustration boils over, and when you lash out, you fear you’ve ruined any chance of belonging here.
But then there’s Joel. He keeps his distance, silent, unreadable and sometimes downright rude, but something about him feels familiar—like he might understand the weight you carry. Both used to pushing people away and burying your troubles, neither of you quite knows how to handle the weight of all these... feelings.

Summary
Returning home after your college graduation, you expect the same sleepy rhythm—quiet nights with your dad, maybe a summer job at his firm, and that ever-present question: what now? But the heat stretches long and slow, and you find yourself babysitting your neighbor’s daughter just to pass the time.
Joel Miller—your dad’s best friend, all calloused hands and quiet glances—is supposed to be off-limits. He’s older, steady, and familiar. But something between you has shifted. There’s tension, thick as the summer air, now impossible to ignore.
And as the days blur and the lines between you begin to fray, it becomes harder to remember where the rules used to be—or why they mattered.

Summary
*TLOU AU - No Cordyceps Outbreak*
You’re not sure when it happened, exactly. The moment when you began to see Joel Miller as more than just your neighbor. More than just your dad’s friend. More than just the surly, sawdust-covered parental figure he’d always seemed to be.
You suppose you can’t actually pin it down to one specific moment. It was more of a...culmination of events.

Summary
She's homesick for a place she isn't sure exists; if the longing she feels is calling from the Bay or crying from the East. Without him, she questions if she would still desire the safety of the Oakland Hills. An ugly part of herself resides in the coast, drifting in and out, consistently reminding Annabeth on the good days and bad nights. She thought by now, desires of blood relations mending would fizzle away, but she craves the simplicity of it all.
(or, in an effort to fix (ignore) her present issues, Annabeth goes on a road trip to San Francisco with Percy)

Summary
Guilt is a heavy burden, one that has settled into permanent residence at the back of his mind. Percy isn’t strong enough to bear it. He wishes he could reside in a state where he doesn’t exist. He shouldn’t exist, not when he finds satisfaction in inflicting misery. It’s not right that Percy is wasting his breath in the name of all those who gave their lives for his survival.
(or, Percy, and the things he keeps hidden from those he loves. He swears it's for their own good.)
