    Summary

    “Go away,” she demands with all of the force of a general giving orders.

    “Don’t think I will,” he responds mildly, and Ellie exhales a snort like an angry bull, wiggling again.

    With a sound of exasperation, Joel lets her go before he drops her, and he’s too slow to catch her before she ducks under the table out of reach and starts shoving at Tommy’s legs. He plants his feet in response, and the only warning for what’s coming next is a frustrated growl before the leg of his jeans is yanked up and sharp little teeth sink in above his ankle.

    “Ow!” He exclaims, more surprised than hurt, even though she certainly wasn’t holding back. Sarah was never really a biter, so he hadn’t seen that move coming.

    Apparently this one, however, has no qualms against being a fucking piranha.

    (ellie and tommy are off to a rough start)

    Summary

    It’s Joel’s first two-day patrol, and he wanted someone there overnight for Ellie. Gave Tommy a list of instructions a mile long, and he wishes it was the type he used to get for Sarah— not too many sweets, don’t stay up late, don’t you dare smoke. Nah, for Ellie it was give her space waking up from a nightmare or you might get knifed and there’s broth if she can’t keep down dinner.

    *
    Or, a 3+1 about Tommy, Ellie, and trust.

    Summary

    It’s almost like he’s living a memory, or a nightmare.

    Or maybe both.

    Tommy isn’t seeing Ellie, lying there with a pretty minor graze wound. He’s seeing something twenty years in the past, another little girl who died in his brother’s arms of a similar, but much more fatal injury.

     

    (Tommy has trauma from watching his niece die. it comes out to play when Ellie gets hurt)

    Summary

    “I thought it would be nice if you came over for dinner at ours sometime. It’s me, and my husband, and our two boys. I’m sure you’ve seen them around school?”

    Now that she mentions it, she does recognize the name. The Erikson boys are nice enough, one older than her, one younger. Both humongous. Just like their mother, who is towering over Ellie as they speak.

    “That’s…nice,” Ellie says, uncomfortable. “But, um. Why?”

    Mrs. Erikson smiles. “Because, dear. I thought it would be good for us all to get to know each other. Seeing as Tommy Miller came and talked to us about the possibility of you coming to live with us.”

    or:

    A series of misunderstandings has Ellie doubting her place in the Miller family. The remaining Millers do their best to show her where she belongs.
