    Summary

    “Do you ever think about me?” The question is so out of left field that the shock must be so visible on Shauna’s face that Jackie actually, physically cringes. “Forget I said that.”

    “I, uh, I take the train to college every day.” It fumbles from her mouth before she can stop herself, an admission that she hasn’t even told Pete and Jules why she takes it, they just assume she’s lazy as if she doesn’t run every evening and is the only one of them that can make it up the stairs without stopping.

    “Ugh, I hate trains. Remember I threw up all over myself when we took the train to New York in eight grade?” Jackie rambles to fill the space, to understand why Shauna said that. Shauna shuts her eyes tight for a second, formulating what to say, but all that comes out is a pathetic:

    “Yeah, it’s why I take them.”

    “What?”

    “The seats are shitty and plastic and it would be cheaper to walk but they remind me of you, because you hate them.” She pauses, running a hand through her hair. “Jackie, did you really think that I’d forget about you?”

    (Or after five years, Shauna Shipman finally talks to Jackie Taylor)

    Summary

    ...

    What would have happened if Joel was the one bitten at the museum? This is an exploration of TLOU, in which Tess takes Ellie across country in search of the Fireflies. What begins as a reluctant partnership grows into something much deeper, where bonds forged in fire breathe new hope, and a chance for redemption.

    ...

    “You don’t have to answer now,” Tess tells her. “I get that it’s a big thing to ask, but I have to ask it. I just…I want you to know you always have a choice, here. Even if we do find Tommy, and we do find some Fireflies. You’re smart, and you have great instincts. Keep asking questions. Make informed decisions whenever possible.”

    “That’s not always an option when you’re a fourteen-year-old kid,” Ellie points out, sounding much older than she is.

    “When it comes to your body and what you do with it, it should always be. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Not even me."

    Summary

    "Once I found a butterfly’s wing on the sidewalk.
    I wanted to keep it but I didn’t.
    I knew there were things I should never find beautiful.
    Like death.
    And girls."
