Summary
After leaving the Fireflies, you ended up in the settlement of Jackson with Tommy, unwilling to part with the only friend you had left. You were even able to carve somewhat of a life out for yourself after a few years.
Until Tommy's older brother shows up. You think Joel Miller is gruff and rude, and you're pretty sure he doesn't have a fond opinion of you either. That doesn't stop the attraction you feel for each other, but he's gone in a day. You settle back into a routine, thinking you'll never see him again.
Then Joel returns a few months later, and screws up everything about the comfortable life you had established in Jackson.

Summary
Everyone in the trailer park knows Joel Miller is bad news; his hands haven’t been clean since the death of his daughter. But caged in by your circumstances and the stretching summers of Texan heat, you begin to find reprieve in his cool commands.
— Joel is the town’s local ne’er-do-well and you're the gum-popping cliché who ought to know better

Summary
"I don't think I can ever forgive you for that. But I would like to try."
-
“Where is Joel?” asks Ellie. He’s dead. He’s dead because of her, and they don’t want to tell her.
“Joel just got out of surgery,” Maria answers calmly, taking both of Ellie’s hands in hers. Ellie’s eyes snap back open. “Tommy is with him. You’ll be able to see him soon.” Ellie starts to sit again, to stand, to go to him, but Maria squeezes her hands in warning. “First, we need to make sure you’re okay. Next, we need to understand what happened out there, what Tommy and Dina can’t tell us. Then, I’ll take you to Joel.”
-
Or: Joel survives, Ellie is still bent on revenge, and their family just wants to help.

Summary
"Sorry 'bout that, I might've forgotten to tell Maria that you guys were comin'... or stayin' for that matter." Tommy explained, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Are you sure it's fine? Ellie and I can find somewhere else to stay, we don't wanna cause any trouble."
Ellie looked up at him sharply. "Joel..." she whined. They finally had a home or at least a temporary one. Why was he willing to give it up so easily?
"Really, it's fine," Tommy assured. "It's a big house for the two of us. Plus, we could use some help with the animals."
"Sheep?" Ellie asked enthusiastically with a smile on her face.
"Yes, we could also use some help with the sheep."
Ellie squealed and tugged on Joel's jacket.
One look at her smile, and he knew what his decision would be.
(OR Joel and Ellie are thrown into a world where the infection never happened and only the two of them remember the horrors they went through. They must learn to adapt to this alternate universe and try to put their traumas in the past. But it's not that easy, is it?)

Summary
Tommy sighs, scrubbing a hand over his pinched face. He has a pretty good idea about what happened there, and it’s twisting the knife in his heart a full three-sixty. Joel, in pain and delirious with it, stuck twenty years in the past and begging for his baby girl. Probably with a head injury to boot. “My brother has no living children, ma’am. He might be experiencing some confusion.”
“Your brother is unconscious, Mr. Miller. He isn’t experiencing anything at the moment. And I can assure you, the minor in our care is very much alive.”
or:
The story of Ellie and Joel, as told to Tommy, who would have liked to have known he had a niece before it became hugely, urgently relevant. (Modern AU)
