Summary
Ellabs smutty military rivals, enemies to lovers with every trope imaginable:
Ellie's looking for answers, and the WLF may hold them. Joel's death in Salt Lake is an open question mark, an unhealed wound: Who killed him? Why?
After four years in Jackson, raised by Tommy and Maria, she decides enough is enough—she needs closure. Now, at the WLF, Ellie is put under the command of Lieutenant Abigail Anderson. Her Commanding Officer is a force of nature: all coiled intensity, with an insane physique, and a sharp, tactical mind that’s as compelling as it is infuriating. And, yeah, she also seems to hate Ellie’s guts from day one.
Meanwhile, Abby, still haunted by her own father's mysterious death in Salt Lake, is Isaac’s right hand, his top enforcer. She has no patience for distractions. But when the defiant and startlingly capable Ellie Williams lands on her squad, sparks fly. Around this new recruit, Abby feels her iron-clad control start to slip.
Forced together on high-stakes missions, an undeniable, volatile attraction ignites beneath the surface of their rivalry.

Summary
Ellabs post-canon TLOU P1, Abby in Jackson, Abby POV, strangers to lovers:
Five years after her father's murder by unknown assailants, Abby's life is a hollow shell of obsession and militaristic discipline in the WLF. A whisper of truth leads her to Jackson, Wyoming, chasing ghosts from a past that won't stay buried.
There, a chance encounter with Ellie, a fierce stranger who saves her life, sparks an unexpected and dangerous intimacy. As their bond deepens, Abby unknowingly grows closer to Ellie’s protector, Joel. But Jackson holds a horrifying secret, one that connects Abby’s consuming need for vengeance to the very people she’s begun to care for.
Torn between the desire that could save her and her all-consuming obsession, Abby hurtles towards a devastating revelation that could destroy everything and everyone she’s begun to care about.

Summary
Ellie's sixteen, when she finally gets fed up with the foster system and decides to run for the hills. In her mind, she figures years of complete solitude, but the perfect opposite happens: she meets Sarah, another teenage runaway, her soulmate, her better half. Life is finally good.
And then the Accident happens, and because Murphy's Law is a bitch and a half that says that, if shit happens, more shit is bound to come, now she's pregnant too. Oh, and Sarah abandons her after a not-so-cryptic conversation about how she wants to go home before winter comes, leaving behind a note saying she'll come and find her again.
Clearly, she went home to her Dad, and clearly Ellie's not gonna stay in Bumfuck, Wyoming, waiting for her. No, she'll go look for her, even if it means having to drive all the way to Boston and live with her father-in-law.
Besides, considering her current state, it's gonna be nice to have a warm bed, a roof over her head, and a man who is so much of a girls' father that he's gonna let her annoy the crap out of him.
[Alternatively: how Joel ends up taking into consideration only the "daughter" part of "daughter-in-law."]

Summary
“She knows her uncle Tommy, you’re not a stranger to her.” he says, begging Tommy with his eyes.
His baby brother looks so different than he had six years ago. He’s grown the mustache out again.
It’s filled in better this time.
“What the fuck were you thinking Joel” Tommy's voice cracks. He looks at Joel like he’s been gutted.
“Living” the reply is hoarse, he knows he’s not answering the question he was asked. Their eyes connect again, he sees the understanding shining in his brother’s eyes.
“Living” Tommy echoes back.

The modern au in which Joel is a firefighter thrust back into fatherhood at 36 by our favorite little shit Ellie, that literally no one asked for.Bookmarked by coconut

Summary
wolf season and pocket knife are two groups that are very quickly coming up on the indie rock scene. so, of course it makes the most sense for their labels to send them on tour together... especially after they catch wind of potential history that went down between the two lead vocalists.
but, like, bygones and all that. they're totally over it.
(off the record: maybe not so much.)
