Summary
“Sarah’s dad?”
“Her other dad.” He clarifies. Saying things about himself this way is still challenging, but he’s trying. It helps that Ellie is scarily perceptive.
“Ohhh, so you were like – “ she pulls her jacket out in front of her, “ – knocked up?”
The first thing Joel is teaching her when they get back to Jackson is tact.
“Not my preferred use of term, but yes.”

Summary
Ellie looks down at her crossword, dejected, as she adjusts her new green glasses. “At this rate, I’ll die before I finish this.” She tugs on his sleeve. “What’s number twenty-seven?”
Joel sighs. “I dunno.”
“I don’t believe you,” Ellie scoffs, the words almost a whine. “C’mon, seriously, me and Dina are trying to see who can finish ours first and if I don’t beat her I have to clean out Japan’s stable for two weeks and -”
“Well, hold on now,” Joel says, reaching into another one of his jacket pockets. “Let me get my glasses…”
Ellie lets out a delighted laugh when Joel slips on a pair of identical round, green glasses. How he got two of the same pair, she’ll never know. But she does know it makes her smile so wide her cheeks might split open.
or;
Joel, Ellie, and the things they give each other out of love

Bookmarker's Notes
One of my all-time favorite stories. Laura was such a huge part of why I started writing and this story in particular taught me so, so much. It shaped what I thought was possible from fanfic.

Summary
The first time Tommy mentions the jellyfish, Joel thinks his brother is just fucking with him for some laughs.
“Jellyfish,” he repeats flatly. “People from Jackson take a trip every year to see some jellyfish, out in a river in Idaho.”
“Honest to God,” Tommy says with a hand raised like he’s swearing on a Bible. He sounds serious, but there’s that twinkle in his eye that keeps Joel from believing him fully. “We don’t know how they got there, if they used to be in an aquarium or they somehow made their way from the ocean or what. But there’s jellyfish.”
