Summary
“Do a trick.”
She blinks, more than slightly startled, her struggle ceasing for a moment under the force of her bewilderment. In her defense, she’s still being held by a hand that feels like it could snap her wrist like a twig just by squeezing too hard, so she thinks she has a right to be a little confused.
Also the words make no goddamn sense.
“What?” She asks blankly, giving another testing tug against the hold. No dice. His grip doesn’t go tighter, but neither is he anywhere close to letting go.
“You’re out here doing magic and shit so you can steal from the crowd, right? Do some magic if you want the money.”
She gives him an incredulous look.
“Dude, I just tried to,” she’s suddenly aware that they are in public and that she and Riley will likely need this section of the park in the future, “rob you,” she says in a low hiss. “And now what? You want a fucking show?”
“You want the money? You ain’t stealing it from me. Do a trick and earn it, fair and square.”
(modern verse AU in which joel and ellie meet after she tries to pickpocket him)

Summary
What Max doesn't realize is that when she abandons a timeline, she also abandons a version of herself within it. A version of herself with different memories and a different life— a version of herself with no powers. A version of herself that, once possessed, is never the same.
A version of herself that must deal with the consequences of the choices she has made.

Summary
It started off as innocently enough. In fact, it started out justified.
She’d gotten bit. She’d run into a shabby cottage (in the name of recon, of course), with only three bullets left in her gun. She’d missed the first two, but her last shot made impact with the rotting, snarling thing, sending a spray of blood onto the wall behind it. The metal buried into its shoulder, disabling its left arm. Then it pounced on her.
She hadn’t even been mad about it. She hadn’t taken it out with three tries, it felt only fair that it got at least one shot at her in return.
It sunk its rotting teeth into her shoulder, the acrid stench of the thing curling into her nostrils. It growled, teeth clamping down as it shivered at the taste.
The second she saw the non-existent glow of flames, her knife was buried in its head. The fun was gone now.★☆★
Ellie reaches her lowest point, but Joel's there to pull her out.

Summary
“How have you been?” his doctor asks him after a moment.
“Fine,” Roy responds, calmy.
He is, really. Mostly he feels numb. And tired. And his scars hurt, sure. On the whole, nothing out of the ordinary.
“Have you been experiencing any pain in the areas with scar tissue?”
Every waking moment. But it’s fine. Really.
“Not much.”
Harris frowns. “I want to help you, you know,” he tells him.
“I know,” he brings himself to say. His doctor sighs heavily.
“How are things at work?” Harris asks, after a minute.
Roy has to look away, suddenly. It doesn’t take long for the numbness to wash over him again though, thankfully.
“Fine too.”
(Or, Roy's still healing wounds, excessive work and an argument with his Lieutenant slowly take their toll on him.)

Summary
****UPDATED VERSION RELEASING 07/08/25****
"Dina brought the button-up close to her face, slowly closed her eyes, and deeply breathed in the lingering scent.
It smelled like…
...like the earth out in the woods.
Like the soap they all shared in the bath, tinged with lavender.
Like the oil she had watched Ellie rub into the fretboard of her old guitar.
Like whiskey.
Like Ellie."
A slow burn, Dina-centric story, about whether or not love can ever find it's way back home through hurt and loss.
Complete.
