Summary
'You are my sunshine, my precious sunshine
You brighten my day when skies are grey,'She butted her sweet little head into Ellie's side, feverish forehead smearing sweat across the faded tshirt.
"Fuck, you're warm."
Ellie chewed her lip with growing anxiety, pale hands pressed against the brown chubby cheeks radiating heat. She whined in response, batting her arms away with pathetic weakness.
"Hey, I know you don't like it..."
Ellie trembling hand raised a bottle of water to her lips, coaxing her to drink. They had no medicine, no antibiotics. Ellie could only pray that she would pull through this. She had to.'You'll never know dear, how much I love you,
Please don't take my sunshine away...'OR
Ellie has been punishing herself since the day she lost Joel. A tiny spitfire of a girl with eyes like his forces her to change that. (A post TLOU2 story in which Ellie must care for a young girl, and slowly breaks down her cold exterior as the child worms her way into her heart.) -

Summary
"You with the dark curls,
You with the watercolour eyes
You who bares all your teeth in every smile."- Dear Arkansas Daughter
Ellie Williams is a fucking wreck. Everyone can see it; the dark circles, the bruises on her neck, the bones clawing to escape her skin. When they ask, it's always the same rehearsed sentence.
"I'm fine, god. Why does everyone keep fucking asking me that?"
It's all part of the college experience, they say. Parties and sleeping around, drugs and alcohol. But this doesn't feel normal. Her being a junior's secret plaything doesn't feel normal either.
(first chapter is an introduction)

Summary
Dina’s a 22-year-old English major with a crush on the kind of girl who only dates cool, confident queers. Dina is none of those things. She’s never dated a girl, panics whenever she tries, and the one time she made eye contact with her in the campus café, she dropped her phone into her latte.
Ellie is also 22, a college senior, and one failing grade away from blowing her art degree and losing her scholarship. She needs to pass Contemporary Poetry and the Queer Form to graduate, and she needs help doing it.
Ellie’s dated enough girls to know how the game works. She does not have time for someone else’s gay panic. But she’s also just desperate enough to say yes when Dina proposes a trade: tutoring for tutoring. Books for girls. Clean deal.
Until it isn’t.
Because the more time they spend together in study sessions and late-night practice flirting, the more the plot starts to shift.
Will Dina get the unattainable girl of her dreams?
Will Ellie survive poetry with her GPA and emotional detachment intact?
Or will they both realize they’ve been writing the wrong story all along?The College AU/Tutoring AU/Cyrano De Bergerac AU trifecta you didn't expect from me.

Summary
So far he’s known Ellie at fourteen and Ellie at fifteen, and the gaps in his knowledge of her are so vast they seem to fill every spare inch of conscience he has. There’s so much unaccounted for time, times where people did things to her he couldn’t protect her from, times where people hurt her or bullied her or made her feel small, undeserving, useless, unloved.
**
Ellie grows up, a little. It sort of breaks Joel’s heart, a lot.
