    Summary

    This is my take on a post-canon reconciliation. In which Dina never stopped loving Ellie, and deep down always wished she’d come home. It’ll be a little bumpy, and Ellie hates herself for a while, and Dina needs some time, but she’s not going to waste what little precious time they have in this ruthless, unpredictable, and unforgiving world by holding on to her own hurt and anger out of pure spite.

    Or: Ellie survives, much to her own dismay. But if she was really intent on dying, then she would have found a way. Her own iron will, combined with Dina’s love and support, will pull her through her own darkness.

    The happy ending starts somewhere in the middle.

    If you want a fic where Dina hates Ellie for an unreasonable amount of time and makes her jump through ten thousand hoops to prove herself then this is not the one.
