Summary
You squeezed your eyes shut, willing yourself not to cry. You were left alone to fend for yourself and a child. You didn’t know how. Fuck, you’d never even had to look after a fish, and now some laughing deity had put a child in your care.
But you made a promise.
You’d give your life trying to keep her safe.
Even if that meant following a stranger, who seemed to hate your existence, to a settlement you had never heard of.
What else was there left in this world for you?
...
Set 15 years after the outbreak if Joel was never asked to take Ellie to the fireflies. Instead, he continues his quest to find his brother, finding you and little more than he bargained for on his way.

Summary
Newly settled into Jackson City, you’re assigned to patrol duty with Joel Miller; a man of rough edges and a cold facade. What begins as forced proximity slowly shifts into something raw and all-consuming.
But as the past creeps forward through old wounds and the ever-present threat of the world outside Jackson's walls, your feelings for one another become both a sanctuary and a liability.
In a world already broken, where there is already so much to lose, can you let yourself love Joel Miller?
