   Summary

   *No Cordyceps Outbreak! TLOU AU*

   Rose Turner had a secret that very few people knew, and she planned on keeping it that way. She closed herself off to the world around her, hiding where she hoped no one would find her. But Joel Miller found her, and somehow managed to claw his way into her iron-clad heart.

   Through no fault of his own, Joel Miller was forced to flip his entire world on its head. He stumbled his way through life, and even as everything seemed to fall apart around him, he hoped that one day he'd find peace. And then he met Rose, and he thought maybe, finally, the universe was lending him a hand.

   But no matter how beautiful it may seem - no matter how sweet, or soft, or alluring - every rose has its thorns.
