   Summary

   JoelxReader(You!)

   After years of surviving on your own, Jackson feels almost like peace — teaching math, helping at the clinic, baking bread to keep your hands busy. You’ve built a quiet life, and you’re content to stay invisible in it. Until Joel Miller starts showing up at your door.
   First it’s for a bandaged hand. Then a follow-up. Then for reasons he won’t say out loud. You tell yourself it’s nothing, but the looks linger, the tension builds, and soon every word carries something heavier than either of you are ready to name.

   Thank you all SO much for the comments! The bookmarks! The kudos! I’m simply overwhelmed with all the love you’ve been showing this fic <33
