Summary
"What?" Jesse exclaimed with a slurred edge, "Joel has a girlfriend? Joel?"
"Sort of." Dina replied. "Nothing official, but Tommy is doing his damn best to make sure it happens."
The drop of a plastic cup and spilling of liquid was heard as though it were as loud as a bomb. Ellie almost stood up, her eyes burning in angered confusion. "Hold on, who the fuck is Esther?!"
--
Joel starts to get close to Esther, and Ellie feels conflicted about that prospect.

Summary
Joel sounds a thousand miles away. “Ellie? Are you listening? I said, don’t you *ever* do that again.”
Well, she thinks deliriously, that won’t be a problem after all.
“Ellie, what—?”
It feels like she has no control over her body anymore, like it’s someone else who is extending her arm, pulling back her sleeve, and exposing a ring of broken skin. She hears Joel stop breathing when he sees it too.
She's been bitten.
________AU where Ellie is already traveling across the country with Joel when she gets bitten.

Summary
He thought of how she’d never pushed him to talk after winter. The way she’d stayed with him after every single nightmare, her fingers curled around his arm while she whispered soothing words into the darkness. How, the next day, dark circles under their eyes as they scavenged for supplies throughout the deserted, crumbling town, she never once mentioned it.
How Jackson was their chance at a fresh start.
“I hate it here,” Joel whispered, something hot and uncomfortable unfurling in his chest.
________
Ellie, Joel, and Tommy arrive in Jackson, but things aren’t as simple as they want. And, as Joel soon realizes, surviving isn’t the same thing as living—and growing up ain’t easy.
