    Summary

    The cold muzzle of his blaster pressed firmly against the back of the woman’s skull.

    “Don’t move.” he said, his voice flat and unyielding through the modulator.

    The room stilled.

    Grogu started making happy noises, his stubby arms stretching out toward Din, the forgotten meal slipping entirely from his attention. “Buuh,” he grunted, repeating it over and over, eyes bright.

    “Buir?” the woman’s voice was soft but measured, a question aimed at Grogu. The child’s gaze flicked to her, then back to Din, repeating the sound with a nod of his wrinkled head.
    She let out a long sigh, the motion slight, almost imperceptible against the muzzle. Her accent carried the rhythm and cadence of Core Worlds— It struck him as entirely out of place here.

    He didn’t like her speaking Mando’a.

    Din pressed the cold metal harder against the back of her skull, testing her resolve. She said nothing for a few heartbeats.

    Then, finally, she spoke.

    “So… you’re the reason my child is wearing chainmail.”

    Summary

    For reasons she can't begin to understand or find the will to want to, the only thing that can manage to quell the nausea making her gut clench uncomfortably is if she plunges her left hand into the cold trickle of the rocky stream she's supposed to be getting water from.

    Not her right, her left, and only her left.

    She hiccups and burps, moaning low as she curls over her thighs with her head nearly touching her knees, the roll of her stomach dizzying.

    The early morning chill of dawn is making it worse, her muscles coiling tight in a shiver that makes her mouth water dangerously, and she swears on everything that she is, the scent of dewy pine needles catching in the breeze is not fucking helping either.
    -
    Weeks into a cross-country journey to meet up with Tommy post fireflies, Joel and Tess are forced to grapple with what it means to smuggle an unborn child from Boston to Wyoming. (Mama Tess and baby Ellie, with a heavy dosing of Joel/Tess figuring their shit out).

    Summary

    Part 3 of the Save Who You Can Save Trilogy. (If you've not read the others I'll catch you up, with what you need to know.)

    After the events of Dangerous, Joel is recovering in the clinic in Jackson. Tommy comes to visit and Ellie is there guarding him while he sleeps. They get to talking and Tommy tells Ellie the story of the first days of the outbreak. So far, this is canon-compliant for the TV show, although I've not played the game so we'll see how long that lasts. Rated for all the usual TLOU stuff.
