Summary
It isn't uncommon for Joel to come home bearing gifts. He's always finding little trinkets on patrol that he thinks Ellie would like, or trading within Jackson's community when something that would suit her catches his eye. Ellie received items ranging anywhere from wall decor to DVDs to new bedding. She cherishes everything brought to her. The sentiment that Joel thinks about her so often lives strongly in her mind, and she loves how well he seems to know her even after such limited time.
So when Joel comes home and presents a velvety red dress adorned with a large white bow, Ellie can’t help but falter a bit.
"I was thinkin' about the holiday party comin' up and I know you were sayin' how you don't have anything to wear…”
Joel strokes a hand down the soft fabric of the gown, and there's a reminiscent glint in his eyes.
"Sarah used to have a dress just like this. I figured you could have one too."*
Ellie forcing herself to wear a dress that Joel gave her so that he can have a good holiday with a fond reminder of his deceased daughter.Or:
Ellie not understanding that she's in addition to, not in replacement of.

Summary
“I’m not gay, by the way.”
Jayce knows what he is. He knows what he likes. He knows what he dislikes, too. He has to get that out, though. Clear the air. Set the record straight. Rule out any misconceptions.
His eyes fly open when he doesn’t hear a response. If it were anyone else, he’d imagine they would have stood up and walked out of there without a second thought. Would have probably laughed in his face before they left, too. Maybe Viktor is different. Maybe he just really wants to suck his dick.
That’s just cocky, Jayce. Twenty in the Douche Bag jar, per Caitlyn’s rules.
But his declaration seems to get a rise out of Viktor because he looks up to him from down on his knees with a humorous glint in his eyes. A cheap chuckle comes from below.
“This is… this is just me broadening my horizons, you know,” Jayce adds, just to be safe. “Drunken fun is all.”
“Broadening your horizons,” Viktor says flatly. “Whatever you say, birthday boy.”
—
A story in which Jayce discovers that getting your dick sucked by a hot stranger at the club and falling in love with him does, in fact, make you gay. OR; Jayce experiences a bisexual crisis at the age of twenty-five.
