    Summary

    “Can you get me some weed?” She asks, and to his credit, Tommy just raises his eyebrows. “Or some vodka, I think, but weed, preferably.”

    Tommy takes a deep breath, and afraid of a no, she speaks again.

    “Not a lot!” She reassures him. “Just like-” She gestures with her hands to indicate the amount she saw someone else carrying to Gail’s house when she was spying to get some intel earlier. “Like that much.” She might need more later, but if the lady’s studied how to fix brains, surely she’ll be able to do it pretty quickly. Ellie might be fucked up more than other kids her age, but she can’t be the most fucked up person in Jackson. Just statistically, other people have had more time to get more fucked up. She’s probably barely even fucked up, comparatively. Freaked up, really, if anything.

    That’s what she’s been desperately telling herself, at least.

    Determined not to complicate or jeopardize that he tends to keep everyone at arm's-length.

    Little do either of them know the impact they are about to have on each other's lives.

    or:
    Modern AU. No Outbreak.
    Ellie takes flight lessons; Joel is her instructor.
    Unplanned bonding ensues (with a healthy side of angst).

    Summary

    Deeply scarred by the loss of his 12 year old daughter, Joel has deliberately distanced himself from anything involving children for the past 17 years. This initially included the 8 year old foster kid who moved in down the street. Despite his resistance and attempt to stay detached, over the past year, he’s found himself drawn into the girl's life, eventually revealing the abuse she's been enduring at the hands of her foster father.

    When Joel wakes up in the middle of the night to a phone call just days prior to Christmas, his life is forever changed.

    Summary

    “Ellie?”

    He turned back around to look over the bridge again.

    Ellie was gone.

    Where she’d just been laying, arms out and face full of frustration, was now a jagged hole in the ice. The black water beneath was still rippling outward.
