    Summary

    “It doesn’t feel real,” Ellie says that night, when his patience with the Fireflies has broken, and he’s enforced a bedtime for their labrat that involved bodily shoving medical staff out of the room and slamming the door in their faces.

    From his place on a cot right in front of the door to make sure no one gets ideas about coming in without warning, he looks over to her, but she’s only looking at the ceiling, looking far too small in the hospital bed she’s been settled on. They’d had her hooked up to machines at first, but she’d been unable to settle with them on her, so he’d made the executive decision to unhook her from everything, pushing buttons at random until all of the noises stopped.

    He’d gotten dirty looks through the little window into the room until he’d shut the blinds.

    Summary

    He doesn’t notice that one of her shoes is untied until a lace gets caught in a notch of a log as they pass, sending her down hard.

    The momentum of her fall sends him thudding against a tree, and his eyes slam shut as he grits his teeth against the white hot pain that flares in his side.

    When he opens his eyes, she’s facedown in the snow, still and silent, hands still at her sides making it clear that she didn’t even try to catch herself.

    It speaks of so much trauma, so much unresponsiveness, that he feels tears sting his eyes at the sheer scale of what’s happened to her, of how small and useless he is to fix any of it, of how much he’s let her be hurt by his own failure to protect her.

    But there’s no time for his own self-loathing.

    She needs him, insufficient as he is.

    Summary

    “Maybe I should sleep here tonight,” Ellie confesses, reaching for her blanket and weakly wrapping it around her. “You can make sure my arm doesn’t peel off in the middle of the night.”

    Joel’s face pales at the image; but, he still reaches forward and finishes wrapping the blanket more snuggly around her, tucking her in. “It’d be my greatest honor,” he says.

    Ellie could easily poke back in jest, but when he presses a kiss to her temple she realizes that maybe his heart is as exposed and raw as hers. That’s maybe, wrapping her up in a blanket, feeding her soup, and trying to kiss the physical pain away really is his greatest honor. She doesn’t have any reason not to believe him.

    After all, he’s always been a terrible liar.

    Summary

    “I’m still getting used to that.” Ellie tells him. “Someone caring where I am all the time.”

    Joel chooses his words very carefully. “It’s my job. I quite like it, if I’m honest. ”

    She smiles, a little wry, expression molding into something awkward to hide the tremble of her lip. “Interesting take considering I’m the government equivalent of a last draft pick.”

    He hums in acknowledgement. “But you’ll always be my first round pick. That’s what counts.”

    or;

    It's been twenty years since Sarah died and he fell apart. It's been fifteen years since Tommy couldn't take the heartbreak of helping someone who didn't want to be helped and left without looking back. And it's been ten years since Joel's started to rebuild.

    It's day one of fostering Ellie Williams.
