    Summary

    Ever since Sarah... well, ever since Sarah ten years ago, Joel's stayed as far away from kids as he can. Just the sight of one is practically enough to send him into a panic attack.

    But then Tommy signs them up for a contracting job at a high school as a favor to an old army buddy.

    And then there's a little girl in the front office, who somehow appears in the coffee shop Joel visits because the motel's coffee machine is shit.

    Most damning is when Joel goes in to do some work at three in the morning and that same goddamn little girl is asleep in his construction zone and, when he wakes her up, says she's homeless.

    Next thing he knows, she's asleep in his motel bed and he's filing foster parent paperwork.

    What the fuck just happened?

    (Foster parent AU! Featuring Joel Trying His Best And FailingTM, Ellie annoying local man and his friends & family into adopting her, and Tess/Joel as a lil treat for the masses.)

    Summary

    This was good. Joel could work with this. Dallas was far enough away without having to worry about hitting the reset button on every aspect of his brother’s life. He nodded quickly. He wasn’t worried about the kind of work he might be asked to do. He didn’t even consider it then - he saw a way out and that was all that mattered. But a wave of anxiety did wash over him which left him faintly trembly, weak in the belly. Everything was going to be on him, now. He had to do right by Tommy. There was no point to any of this if he couldn’t do it better than his old man.

    --

    Joel through the years, the people he loves most and the patterns which emerge.

    Summary

    When Tess gets bitten, the Cordyceps doesn't spread - she's immune.

    But what are the odds that two people are immune when nobody else is?

    (And what are the odds that Marlene happened to give Ellie, a girl exactly the same age that Joel and Tess's dead baby would have been, to them?)

    (Basically, Joel and Tess are Ellie's biological parents, Tess is immune, etc)

    Summary

    Lycanthropes, while few and far between, exist alongside humans, cohabiting civilization as well as they can with the social challenges of being 'other.' Joel and the Millers are among this small demographic, and while life is hard, they have their little pack and are surviving - at least, until the outbreak happens.

    (Basically, TLOU + werewolves = this)

    Summary

    You never used to be this desperate. Never used to allow yourself to grovel at a man’s feet for him just to give you the smallest morsels of warmth in return. Yet, you found yourself lapping up each and every crumb.

    It was never supposed to even be him. It was Tommy that set his eyes on you on that godforsaken night at the bar—the night that turned to utter carnage.

    Yet now, you would do just about anything to have his brother look at you with the same warmth and wanting.

    You wanted to hate Joel Miller, wanted to feel nothing but disgust as you looked at him but you never could… and so in turn, you allowed him to ruin you over and over in every sense of the word.

    Summary

    “Tommy.” It’s a stuttered plea slipping free from the confines of his shredded mouth, a beg that he ain’t ashamed of as he writhes in his brother's unrelenting grasp, the sores lining his cheeks and rubbing against his teeth alight with fire.

    He’s asking to be let go, to be able to go to his child because she needs him.

    Because he had promised that he wouldn’t let her do this alone.

    The people in that room don’t count.

    They don’t know that her favorite color is forest green even though she’s never been in the woods, that her shoulder aches if she falls asleep on her right side because her foster father fractured it when she was eight and it healed wrong.

    They don’t know that it’s her greatest fear - what’s happening inside that sterile room with grey walls, white bedding and too little warmth.

    To let her die alone would be his failure, his broken promise, and he’s watching it happen. Her heart no longer beating and her chest failing to rise.
    *
    Even when he’s fighting cancer, Joel can’t help but be dad as fuck, especially when Ellie’s fighting it right beside him.

    Summary

    Day doesn't remember who he once was. In fact, he's not even certain his name is Day. Once he figures his past out though, he's leaving to go back. For the time being he'll spend his day living as nothing more than a servant to Andrew 'Razor' Desoto and his two adopted sons, Baxter and Dominic. They like to make Day's life way more difficult than it has to be. Day would even say that they love to do that.

    June was born a princess. She has always known that the day will come when she will marry someone. Only issue: she wants someone who can understand her. And that list is currently at 0. It's not that she doesn't want to marry, but there is pretty much no hope of actually finding someone who just gets her. So when she gets the news that she is expected to find a suitor before her 16th birthday, she is very upset.

    But something changes once their paths cross. Day has now found a new dream. And June has just found the first person that just seems to truly get her. However, outside forces try to keep them apart. And will June be able to understand Day's lack of past? Or his need to find it? Only time will tell.

    Summary

    Ten-year-old Brydee Prescott has learned to stay silent. Mute since her sister's tragic infection, she hides her fears behind a grumpy facade, watching as the undead roam freely and danger lurks at every corner.

    Life in the Quarantine Zone is bleak, but Brydee's greatest worry is her father, who vanished on a secret mission for the Fireflies six weeks ago, leaving behind nothing but unanswered questions and a promise to return.

    Desperate to find him, Brydee hatches a daring plan. She sneaks into the back of a Firefly truck, hoping it will lead her to her father. But instead, she ends up trapped in the State House, surrounded by the chilling remnants of the Fireflies-only their dead bodies remain. Just when Brydee thinks she might never escape, three strangers appear: Joel, Tess, and Ellie, a fearless girl with a mysterious secret-she's immune to the Cordyceps virus.

    Things lead to another, the State House blows up with, regrettably Tess in it. Not having anyone but each other, Joel, Ellie and Brydee embark on a harrowing journey to track down the elusive Fireflies, with Brydee determined to find her father.

    Summary

    Joel loosens his grip slightly when they reach Bill’s store, looking down at the kid. “I’m gonna let go. If you try runnin’ off again, you’ll get yourself into a world of trouble. Not that you already ain’t.”

    “I’m shaking in my boots.” She tugs her arm away from him, glancing between both of the men in front of her.

    She’s small. A preteen, maybe. Her brown hair is limp and ruffled, pulled back in a haphazard ponytail. She has a patched-up backpack slung over her shoulder. That’s probably a good place to start looking for stolen items, if need be.

    “Little rat stole a screwdriver,” Bill says, his arms crossed to his chest.

    “No, I didn’t!” The girl drops her backpack to the floor, her hands gripped tightly against the strap. “What the fuck would I want a screwdriver for?”

     

    Joel is a security guard at a dying mall. Ellie is a feral kid who probably shoplifts. Things will never be the same again.
