Summary
Texas, 1890
Joel finds Ellie locked up in a dark cellar and immediately decides she's not his problem. But he leaves the door open, which means she's gonna make herself his problem.
Ellie is looking for her mother and decides the two outlaws headed north are about as good a ride as she's gonna get.
Few things go as planned on their journey north. Joel is prepared for bounty hunters, lawmen, and old gang members. He's not at all prepared for the little girl to take root in his heart like that.
The girl's mother, though? Well, she's pretty much exactly what he expected. The girl's gotta get it from somewhere after all.

Summary
As he pulled his hands away, Ellie stirred slightly. She rolled over, instinctively seeking the warmth, and rested her head heavily in his lap.
Joel froze. Every protective wall he had built over the last two decades told him to move. But he didn’t move. He looked down at her small face, completely peaceful in sleep, and he found that he didn’t mind the weight of her head on his thigh.
The whiskey fuzz had been gone for hours. He was completely, painfully sober. As the clock on the desk quietly ticked past midnight, signaling the start of September 26th, a heavy realization settled over him. For the first time in twenty years, Joel wasn’t sitting alone in a dark room, getting filthy drunk. He was sober and keeping a little girl safe.
TLDR: Joel is a FEDRA officer. Twenty years of apocalypse have made him cold-blooded. He's supposed to be cruel. But he crosses paths with a "troubled" eight-year-old girl who changes him for the better.

Summary
“Kid, get the hell outta my tree.”
Stupid fucking neighbors. She’s never even seen the person who lives here before.
“It’s not your tree,” she calls back, infusing her tone with as much attitude as she can muster. “No one owns a tree.” Deep breaths, Ellie. Can’t give away how scared you are, especially not to a stranger. Especially especially not to a man.
“Tree’s on my property. I own the property, so I own the tree. Now scram.”

Turns out she may get the chance to live instead.
