Summary
“This is private property.”
Her head snaps up, eyes narrowed as her lips curl into a snarl. “No shit? I thought this was a public fucking park.”
Joel levels a glare at the kid as he loads the washer. “It ain’t. These machines are for residents, not runaways.”
“I’m not a fucking runaway,” she snaps, squaring her shoulders and drawing her backpack closer. “And I am a resident. Kid of the week for the Jenkins. You know, the people who live in 3E?”
“And the Jenkins have you down here doin’ laundry after school every day?” he asks with incredulity.
She glances around the room, a uniquely teenage disdain in her sneer as she surveys the silent machines. “Obviously.”

Summary
“Her name is Ellie,” she says, eyes still on the sweet, slumbering child. “Take care of her. Don’t fuck this up, Joel.”
He doesn’t respond, just watches until Marlene is gone and moves to lock the door once more, knowing it’s probably about to be a long night with very little sleep.
Glancing down at the baby – Ellie – Joel releases a slow breath. “Looks like it’s just you and me, kid.”
Fucking hell, he’s got his work cut out for him.
or
(Joel raises Ellie. Some things change while others stay the same. A journey from Boston to Wyoming.)

Ellie brings home a wolf pup. Joel is less surprised by this than you might think.
Doesn't mean he's pleased about it.
—
The one in which Joel thinks he knows what's going on, but he really really doesn't.

Summary
‘No. I’m tellin’ you now, no. You going away and joinin’ the Fireflies.. Fine. You ruin your own life if that’s what you want. But we ain’t taking a baby in during all of this, Tommy. No way in Hell.’
‘What’s the alternative, Joel? Give her to FEDRA? They’d turn her into a fucking soldier. Cannon fodder. You know that.’
-
In which Joel and Tess receive an unusual request from the Boston Fireflies, and the pair find themselves navigating parenthood in the midst of the apocalypse.
(Or; in an alternate timeline, Joel raises Ellie from the beginning - and this time, for as long as he has breath left in his body, nobody is going to hurt his daughter.)
