    Summary

    Ellie thinks she's pretty lucky that she gets to have him like this, but she'll never admit it. He'd make fun of her until the end of time. Because he's awful like that.

    (five times joel and ellie think about what they are, and one time they talk about it.)

    Summary

    And then soft, so soft Ellie barely hears from all the way over on her staircase, ear angled down towards the slats in the railing, breath held while awaiting a reply. She needs the truth, too. She deserves the truth. After all of this. The blood on her hands, on her face, on her memories. She gets to know why. Why after all this shit, none of it was even worth it.

    What Ellie once believed to be heavy, uneven breathing, she comes to realize, is quiet, fractured sobbing. “I can’t lose her,” he confesses, an omission to what Ellie already knew from the second she woke up in the back of that car, woozy and light and empty. Bare legs, cold and exposed in a hospital gown. The whole car reeked of human blood and sweat, while her skin was the cleanest, the purest, it had been in months.

    “I couldn’t let ‘em take her, Tommy.”

    It’s all the answer she needs.

    ------

    Through the seasons of Joel and Ellie's first year in Jackson. How the anger she feels at his betrayal wedges its way between them and how they find their way back together regardless.

    Summary

    To her own credit, she gives it her best shot when the agents–FEDRA, she notes grimly, though their uniforms are battered and faded in a way that suggests they’re not exactly the cream of the crop–spill out and surround her. She’s nothing against the guns pointed at her, but she knows she damn fucking well won’t go down without a fight. She kicks and scratches and claws with everything she’s got, but she’s one skinny, unarmed 15 year old against a group of trained adults, and in no time, they have her facedown on the ground, one of them kneeling on her back so that she can’t move and can barely breathe.

    “Get-the fuck-off me!” She wheezes, trying futilely to get loose, giving it all she has to buck the guard off. Her mouth is slick with the coppery taste of blood from where she’s bitten more than one person, and she spits as she struggles, trying to get it out of her mouth.

    There’s a sharp prick of pain in her neck, and the world slowly dissolves into darkness.

     

    (looking to compete with the Fireflies, FEDRA sends agents to capture Ellie to make their own cure) (and this time, Joel isn't right there to protect her)
