Summary
Every six months, your paths cross at the trading post.
Every six months, you swear it’s the last time.
And every six months, you fall into each other anyway - fast, rough, desperate, like you're starving for something you'll never admit you want.
In a world where love is dangerous, and time is always borrowed, you learn that sometimes the cruelest thing isn’t losing each other - it’s having to walk away.-

Sweet Dreams by stumblingaway

Summary
“Woah.” Ellie’s face is inches away from her window when Tess looks back, her gaze fixed on the deer. “They’re so big.”
“There’s a whole lot of things bigger than them,” Tess snorts.
“The only animals I’ve seen are birds and dogs.”
Right.
Joel rolls down his window and she’s hit with a blast of cold air to the face. She’s thankful, actually, as the roar of the wind fills the car, drowning out any of the kid’s attempts at further conversations. He rolls it back up once the sun has started to set, the insects beginning their evening songs.
Tess, Joel, Ellie, and the rare occurrence of sleep. A Tess Lives story.

Summary
You barely have any heat in your house and became sick. The only person who could fix the radiator was Jackson’s attitude-riddled and cold-acting Joel Miller. You didn’t expect that day to lead to an unfolding of a relationship you could have never imagined—with unexpected similarities and the kindness from a heart that had felt undeserving.

Summary
Joel knows FEDRA used corporal punishment, Ellie’s flinched away from enough outstretched hands for him to put that together.
He knows that when they first met, she’d watch him out of the corner of her eye every time he took his belt off before bed. He’d assumed with a small sadness that she was worried for her safety in a different way, more similar to the way she gets nervous around teachers after Silver Lake.
He hadn’t realized that the faded white scars on her back he sometimes sees peeking out of her tank top are from being hit with a belt.
(joel finds out more about ellie’s past once they’re settled in Jackson- and vows to stop at nothing to protect her from it ever happening again)

Summary
Eight months ago, you sustained a life-altering injury while on patrol.
Five months ago, you were officially dismissed from your unit and, after a tense meeting with Isaac, were transferred to the medical centre to train under your friend/roommate, Mel.
Four months ago, you offered your couch to Abby to sleep on whenever she got kicked from her apartment for Manny's ‘sleepovers’.
Two months ago, you started sleeping in the same bed.
It works, this arrangement you have. She just doesn’t know that just over twelve months ago, you started to fall in love with her.

Queued up — Ellie version by Mothdustletters

Summary
Ellie thought SGU would just be another city, another school to survive. Classes, late-night calls with Noah, maybe a shot at the esports team — nothing she couldn’t handle. But when a roommate she didn’t ask for offers coffee, bagels, and judgments she didn’t deserve, Ellie finds herself orbiting a world she doesn’t quite trust.
A mirror of runBMCwrites’ Queued up, this is Ellie’s side of the story: sharp edges, quiet nights, and the slow, reluctant pull of connection.
Shout out to runBMCwrites to let me write Ellie's side of her/his fanfic. I hope I made your Ellie justice. Tried to keep dialogue pure and unmoving. Same with Ellie's choices in the day. Got big plans for this Ellie.

Summary
You came to Jackson five years ago, and since then you’ve built something that almost feels like a life. Steady work at the clinic, a roof over your head, the closest thing to safety you’ve known since the world fell apart. It isn’t perfect, but it’s yours.
Then you’re thrown onto patrol, partnered with Tommy’s brooding older brother, Joel Miller — and everything starts to unravel.
He’s moody, stubborn, infuriatingly bossy. He gets under your skin with every order he barks, with every look he gives you like he knows better. He’s also the one man you can’t stop thinking about, no matter how many times he’s made it clear he wants nothing to do with you.
But the longer you’re out there together, the harder it gets to ignore the pull between you. Banter turns to touches, touches to something you swore you wouldn’t want. And as the line between friends and something more begins to blur, you’ll have to decide just how much you’re willing to risk.

Summary
It’s like this: Frank made this house less lonely when he moved in, and Linda makes it a little less lonelier still. Bill, who spent half his adult life in fear-induced solitude, has no room these days to deny anything that will fill his heart more.
Fine, whatever, maybe he likes the damn cat a little. It means he really loves Frank, that’s all.

Summary
It didn't take Joel long to fall for you. You were Sarah's favorite teacher at school, teaching English. It didn't help that you were also beautiful, kind, smart, everything he valued in a woman.
You loved Sarah like a daughter, as you did all your students. But there was something about her dad that threw you off; his lingering gazes, the way he'd always try to make small talk with you.
Before you knew it, you were head over heels for the father of your brightest student.

Something Like Home (But Not Quite) by cherryispunk
Fandoms: The Last of Us (TV), The Last of Us (Video Games)
16 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
It’s 2013. Ten years ago the world ended, and people coped with the outbreak any way they could— mostly with drugs, alcohol and sex.
Self destruction wasn't unfamiliar to Joel, but Cam definitely pushed the definition to the limit. And damn it, Tess was right: he can’t help himself when he sees her do another line, or skip another meal.
He wanted to save her, even if she didn't want to be saved by him. Even if she didn’t want anything out of him besides sex. Even if he didn’t want to save himself.——
Or: the fic where Joel gets tangled up in the messiest situation of his life. A love triangle between Joel, Tess and the reader, with a bittersweet ending.
Reader has a name and struggles with an eating disorder as well as other shit (check tags) so please feel free to not read this if it triggers you in any way.-
