Summary
“It doesn’t feel real,” Ellie says that night, when his patience with the Fireflies has broken, and he’s enforced a bedtime for their labrat that involved bodily shoving medical staff out of the room and slamming the door in their faces.
From his place on a cot right in front of the door to make sure no one gets ideas about coming in without warning, he looks over to her, but she’s only looking at the ceiling, looking far too small in the hospital bed she’s been settled on. They’d had her hooked up to machines at first, but she’d been unable to settle with them on her, so he’d made the executive decision to unhook her from everything, pushing buttons at random until all of the noises stopped.
He’d gotten dirty looks through the little window into the room until he’d shut the blinds.

Summary
For all the jokes she’s made about Joel’s name twin, on the day Joel Hendrix is brought back beaten and bloody in a body bag, Ellie isn’t feeling very light-hearted.
Especially when the body is followed by his sobbing daughter, only a year older than Ellie herself. She keeps her eyes on Tanner as she staggers by, held up by Tommy, who was sent out on the rescue patrol to bring the Hendrixes back after they broke protocol and split from their group to go after an elk and then failed to check back in.
Apparently they found something significantly worse than a lucky hunt in the middle of winter.
(what if the fireflies killed the wrong joel?)

Summary
Since there is absolutely no closure to the ridiculous cliffhanger that was the end of book one and there will be no closure for almost a year I felt the need to write a fanfic, and damn it, it has to be smut. So much gods damn sexual tension. I don’t want to make any assumptions of what’s going to happen so this is a one shot for my dreams. I’m gonna say it is set (hopefully) after the events of the books.

Summary
Dean had held Cas’ face between his hands. There were a few times when Dean had looked at him, really looked at him, and realized the thing in front of him was holy, divine. Fucking sacred. Dean shouldn’t be touching it. But he was. Hell was yesterday’s news and Heaven was nothing for Dean to be concerned about. There was something sacred in his palms. In Dean Winchester’s palms.
or: Cas comes back, Jack is a kid (rightfully so) and they buy a cabin in Michigan.

Summary
The next twenty minutes are fairly uneventful, Ellie sniffling incessantly while talking about the new kittens born to the cat that lives in the stables. Her nose starts to run again, Joel internally cringing. He’s almost forgotten how gross kids can be. Half-feral kids raised in post-apocalyptic military schools are no exception, it seems.
Or, Joel and Ellie have been in Jackson for three months now, and are still figuring things out. Ellie getting sick brings up old memories for both of them.
