Summary
It's been four years since Ellie and Joel arrived back in Jackson, Wyoming, after a year traversing the U.S. in search of the light--the Fireflies, the last organization to still be researching for a cure to the cordyceps infection, only to arrive to find that light snuffed out. Since then, Ellie has been trying to adapt to a new way of life, neither the military world Marlene had left her to grow up in, nor the torn up country she and Joel had struggled to survive in. Inside the walls of Jackson, it's easy to let the brutal outside world slip away. But even in rural Wyoming, Ellie can't hide from her past, and as it catches up to her, she must confront her conflicting identities and beliefs to make sense of the torn-up world and, eventually, find peace.
The Last of Us: Part 2 was divisive, and not always in the right ways. I aim to retell the same story without the odd narrative choices and confusing motives that the game does, and to add the light that made the original game brighten the darkness in our realities.

Summary
Rook wasn’t supposed to be here. No, really—she wasn’t supposed to be here. The Inquisition wasn’t supposed to even be on her radar—the Rook that existed then wasn’t even called Rook, and still was learning how to cast spells.
And yet, Solas is looking at her. Not the Solas she knows, either.
or
Rook time travels. It makes things objectively worse.
alternatively titled: Mithian Aldwir's very bad, horrible, no-good, terrible year
