Summary
So busy badly sneaking bites of cheesy potato off of Joel’s plate (after he’d already offered them up wholesale, not understanding that theft makes them tastier), she largely tunes out what Tommy and two of the other lead patrollers are discussing. Training patrols don’t start until 16, and no amount of whining, threats, or attempts at sneaking into groups has borne fruit to change that, so it’s not like it’s immediately relevant to her since she already knows all of Joel’s routes before he goes on them.
And then one of the women says “Silver Lake” and it’s like all of the air has been sucked out of the room.
(joel and ellie are settling into jackson well) (and then some survivors from silver lake ask to join the town)

Summary
“He took my dad from me,” Abby says, looking down. Her jaw clenches for a moment. “He has to pay for that.”
In her mildly panicking mind, she considers it, considers what she would do if she was in the same room as someone who took Joel from her.
She’d kill them, she knows at once, not even needing to think about it. She’d kill them without a second thought, and there’s not a goddamn force on this earth that could stop her.
It’s this that lets her know that Abby Anderson has to die.
(abby and ellie meet without abby knowing who ellie is)

Summary
When Joel calls his name and comes jogging towards him in Jackson, pulling him into a hug as fierce, as joyful as the ones he got when he was back on leave during his army days, he thinks, Is that all it took? I just needed to leave him alone to let him heal? I could’ve just fucking ditched him and then gone back? It’s a painful thought, that his own attempt at support just hindered Joel’s healing, but it’s a giddy one, too, the idea of his brother back with him.
Then he sees Joel catch a kid who almost falls off of her horse when she dismounts, the motion as easy and thoughtless as if he were-
Oh, he thinks, when he sees the way the girl looks at Joel, all sass and no regard, clearly not afraid of him in the slightest, the way she uses his personal space as her own without a second thought. Oh, you paternal fucker.
(tommy loses the person his brother was on the night of the outbreak) (it takes 20 years and a mouthy little punk to get him back) (ft. miller brother feels, ellie being feral, ellie thinking she and tommy are mortal enemies, and star wars)

egg brawls and other childhood memories by PenAndInkPrincess

Summary
“Alright,” he tells her, holding her shoulders to make sure he has her attention. “Remember: Easter is not a contact sport, alright?”
She rolls her eyes.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” she says. “I just did an Easter egg hunt this morning, remember? Me and Ollie did just fine.”
“Yeah,” he acknowledges, “but now you’re going with the kids your age. Things get competitive.” Sarah had once bitten another 6 year old at an Easter egg hunt. It had been awkward, but it had also meant they were not invited back to that church next year no matter how much his mother bugged him about it, so it had been an overall win. “Just don’t kill anyone, alright? No Easter wrecking ball behavior.”
“We’ll see,” she says with a devilish little smirk that means absolutely nothing good.
“Ellie.”
“Fine, I will not be an egg assassin even though I would be such a fucking great egg assassin. Happy?”
(Ellie's first Easter in Jackson) (ft. family fluff, fun uncle tommy, and joel worrying about his kid murking her peers for eggs)

Summary
“Meet Tara, our latest resident,” he says to them before turning to the woman. “This is my brother, Joel, and my niece, Ellie,” he says, and her already-limited reserve of politeness is lost for a moment behind the way she feels mildly stunned by her casual inclusion as his niece in the introduction.
Thankfully, adults tend to look only at adults first, so she has a moment to recover before-
-but no, Tara is looking at her, only at her, with an intensity that makes her feel uneasy. Immediately she presses a bit tighter to Joel, who looks down at her before looking back up to Tara, frowning a bit. He shifts Ellie a bit, getting her just slightly more behind him before he extends his hand, breaking Tara’s unnerving stare with a blink as she registers it in her field of vision.
“A pleasure,” he says, and Tara fumbles for a moment before she takes it, even as her gaze flits back to Ellie briefly.
(ellie happens to resemble the dead daughter of a new resident in jackson) (surely this will not cause anything bad at all)
