Summary
“Marlene,” Ellie says quietly, looking her in the eyes with unprecedented steel for a fourteen-year-old. “If you wait for Joel to wake up, he’ll stop it.”
“We’ll pay him, don’t worry,” Marlene dismisses, and Ellie shakes her head.
“No,” Ellie replies, trying to make her understand. Her hands tremble in her lap and she pulls them into fists. “We didn’t think I’d have to die for the cure. He won’t let this happen if he finds out. You have to start the surgery now, or he’ll kill you."
Or: Ellie gets a choice— she chooses the cure. Joel still murders them all.

Summary
To her own credit, she gives it her best shot when the agents–FEDRA, she notes grimly, though their uniforms are battered and faded in a way that suggests they’re not exactly the cream of the crop–spill out and surround her. She’s nothing against the guns pointed at her, but she knows she damn fucking well won’t go down without a fight. She kicks and scratches and claws with everything she’s got, but she’s one skinny, unarmed 15 year old against a group of trained adults, and in no time, they have her facedown on the ground, one of them kneeling on her back so that she can’t move and can barely breathe.
“Get-the fuck-off me!” She wheezes, trying futilely to get loose, giving it all she has to buck the guard off. Her mouth is slick with the coppery taste of blood from where she’s bitten more than one person, and she spits as she struggles, trying to get it out of her mouth.
There’s a sharp prick of pain in her neck, and the world slowly dissolves into darkness.
(looking to compete with the Fireflies, FEDRA sends agents to capture Ellie to make their own cure) (and this time, Joel isn't right there to protect her)

Summary
She tells Joel she wants a porch swing and he looks at her funny but builds it for her anyway. They spend many summer evenings curled up in it, rocking gently as Joel plays his guitar and hums softly. It’s familiar, and it’s good, and she thinks, just maybe, that she’s starting to be okay.
OR:
A 5+1 of times Ellie wakes up, and one time she doesn't. She grows up, thinks about her mom, and realizes what it has taken for her to get here. Plus a porch swing.

Summary
This girl isn’t Sarah. He’d made that loud and clear to himself; to her.
“You holler if you need me, okay?” He murmurs instead, keeping his hands on his side as Ellie gives him another tired nod. “Alright. Good night, kiddo.” He gives her a small rub on the arm before leaving the room. Not more than that. He doesn’t let himself.
He doesn’t think Ellie would let him, either.
or; ellie gets terribly sick, and joel has not been a father in twenty years.

Summary
A groaning exhale from the backseat has Ellie perking up, and she nearly drives into a fallen tree when she whips around to look. Whoops.
So she watches Joel from the rearview instead, hungrily drinking in the sight of his growing wakefulness between glances at the road.
“What…” Joel grumbles, hand going to his head. Then he freezes before shooting up, eyes wild. He’s so big he almost hits his head on the roof of the car, and his legs—which are folded up against the door—kick wildly while he tries to right himself.
“It’s okay!” Ellie cries, aiming for reassuring but landing somewhere closer to hysterical. “It’s okay, you’re with me.”
For a brief, insane moment, Ellie wishes fiercely she had a pet name for him, something she could call him when he needed comforting. Nothing makes Ellie feel more cared for and safe than baby girl in Joel's southern drawl.
Old man doesn’t have quite the same ambience.

Summary
“Behind them, a flame burns: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them, a desolate wilderness; yes, and nothing shall escape them.” Joel 2:3
When he was a boy she took his little face between her two warm hands and told him that there was salvation in suffering. That there was a woman and her son and they each suffered so that he may live. She tells him Jesus’s mother had to bury him and cleaned his body with her own two hands. That she delivered him into the world when she was just a girl and raised him to die. He does not remember being saved, but he knows it happened.

Summary
“Oh,” Ellie says when they hear a shuffling in the hall, and from the sound of it he knows she’s had an idea.
Before he can ask, before he can do a single thing, she yanks his arm through the fence, shoves his sleeve back, and sinks her teeth deep into the skin just above his elbow.
He curses and reflexively jerks back, but her grip on his arm is strong, and she just sinks her teeth deeper before she lets go. He pulls his arm back and is looking at her, wondering if she’s lost her damn mind from the stress of this horror show, when the door opens and three men, including David, walk through.
The sight of blood on her mouth makes the men pause.
But only for a second.

Summary
Riley’s fork turned over in the air, and her dinner slide off, back to the plate with a sickening plop. “Ugh, this shit is disgusting.”
Ellie only nods, staring down into her own slop with the disdain of a thousand suns. A green bean slides off her fork as she crams it in her mouth, and shivers at the taste.
She’s never wanted anything more than to never eat FEDRA’s damn food ever again. When she gets out of there, she’s going to eat something… something good, hopefully. She wonders if the officers get good food.or,

Summary
“Where is Joel.” It’s not a question this time.
Marlene sighs, her shoulders sagging. “I’m sorry, Ellie. He left.”
Left?
Ellie blinks. “You’re lying.”
The sympathetic twist to Marlene’s mouth makes the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. “Ellie, I really am sorry. He asked for a car this morning and—”
“Shut the fuck up,” Ellie bites out. “You’re lying. That’s a lie.”
There isn’t any desperation in Ellie’s voice. No tremor or plea. Because she knows, beyond the shadow of any doubt, knows as certain as the sun rising, that Joel would never, ever fucking leave her.
Ellie isn’t sure what does it, if it’s the hardness in her tone or the look on her face, but something conveys to Marlene that her lie is dead in the water. The pity on the woman’s face shifts into something else, something cold, something that makes Ellie’s blood beat like thunder in her ears.
or
The Fireflies decide that Joel is worth sacrificing for the cure. Ellie disagrees.

Summary
The first time she comes barreling into the house like the devil’s on her heels, he’s on his feet with his gun in hand at once, stepping between her and the door, sure an intruder is about to burst through after her. He readies himself for a fight, already planning how to get an attacker out of the house and away from Ellie.
And then he hears her laughing.
He turns to see her, panting and sweaty, laid out on the floor like she’s a rug, her face practically glowing with the force of her smile. She lifts both hands to the air in fists and cheers.
“What are you doing,” he asks, but the question comes out flat in light of his confusion. He gives the door one more look, but no intruder is imminent, and he holsters his gun, going to one knee beside Ellie, still on her back, breathing hard.
“I beat it!” She says, clearly proud about whatever the hell she’s talking about.
“Beat what?” He asks.
“Curfew!” She nearly crows.
He blinks.
It’s possible they’ve had a misunderstanding about what exactly a curfew is.

Summary
He knows from the moment he sees Joel helping the girl down from the horse she’s on that something’s up. There’s an ease to the movement that says he almost certainly helped her up on the horse as well, and the way she moves with absolute trust that he won’t let her fall says there’s a bond there that’s had time to develop.
The girl sticks close to Joel’s side, eyes wary, as he guides her back over.
“This is Ellie,” Joel says before turning to her. “This is my brother, T-”
“Tommy, yeah. I heard. Not all of us have shit ears, grandpa.”
He blinks at the comment, but Joel doesn’t seem offended, even as he rolls his eyes.
This is his second hint.

Summary
Something about the diligent, thorough swivel of her head as they walk makes his stitches ache. This little girl - his little girl - 14 years old and barely looking it, knows how to hold a gun, knows how to stitch up a wound, knows the very extent of what people are capable of.
She’s so much older than she was this morning.
OR: Ellie's going to be okay.

Summary
Joel wrapped her close, encasing her in his jacket and his warmth. The feeling of her body pressed to his woke the papa-bear kept dormant for too long and he gently cradled her head with his palm. “It’s okay.”
She wasn’t cargo, she hadn’t been since Henry and Sam. Since he nearly lost her the first time.
She was his daughter. His Ellie. She was everything. The earth, sun, stars, and moon all tangled in one. She was right here, in his arms. Alive.
He’d burn the entire world down for her. He hoped the careful stroking of her hair conveyed that enough.
“It’s okay baby girl. I’ve got you,” his eyes fell shut against the winter, relief running thick through his veins as he gently rocked them both. Incomprehensible groans and cries continued from the space between his collar and jaw. The sound formed a stinging lump in his throat. “I’ve got you. I’ve got you,” Joel repeated, unsure if for him or for Ellie.
They stood like that longer than was probably safe; tangled within Joel’s heavy coat together, clinging to each other like a lifeline.Bookmarked by prospective1
