    Summary

    It's their first winter living in Jackson, and Joel's been scared of what the back of the cold would do to Ellie. So, when Tommy tells them there's a deer wandering in the woods that could make a great dinner for the town folks, Joel's surprised when Ellie accepts the job. And now he can just go with her on the hunt and hope it goes smoothly. But they're not so lucky.

    Summary

    In which Joel Miller is Jackson's resident DILF and just about everyone wants to hop on that. Ellie would seriously just appreciate it if everyone could stop bringing them fucking casseroles.

    ***

    Joel is popular in Jackson.

    Sure, Ellie is too because she basically saved the fucking world and she’s super funny and she’s good at just about everything she does.

    “And so humble,” Joel had added once when Ellie was explaining her own popularity last week.

    But Joel’s popularity seems… different. He can barely step outside their house without someone calling his name or the offer of a homemade dinner.

    Summary

    Who knew something as miscellaneous as coffee could bring two people together?

    Meeting Joel was organic and falling in love with him was easy, but finding your way back to him after the Outbreak tears you two apart is where you face difficulties. After years of hoping, you can't help but give up on the idea that Joel is even alive, much less searching for you. Even Joel's little brother Tommy showing up to the settlement of Jackson, which you consider home, doesn't rekindle the belief that you'll ever see him again.

    It's not until the spring of 2024, when Joel waltzes back into your life with a sarcastic teenage girl in tow, that you allow yourself to think that maybe, just maybe things can go back to the way they used to be. However, neither of you is the person you were 20 years ago, and you’ll soon discover that understanding how you fit into each other’s new lives won’t be as simple as you once dreamed.
