Summary
"You want him, you’re tired enough to admit it to yourself, but you also want this. A safe and timeless kind of touching, one you have never, and probably will never do with somebody else. There is nobody else who knows you like this, who would let you do this without question or desire, nobody but uncle Joel. He’s family enough to understand, and stranger enough to allow it."
────୨ৎ────
The man next door, who you have called uncle for most of your life, becomes...well, more.

Summary
Ever since Sarah... well, ever since Sarah ten years ago, Joel's stayed as far away from kids as he can. Just the sight of one is practically enough to send him into a panic attack.
But then Tommy signs them up for a contracting job at a high school as a favor to an old army buddy.
And then there's a little girl in the front office, who somehow appears in the coffee shop Joel visits because the motel's coffee machine is shit.
Most damning is when Joel goes in to do some work at three in the morning and that same goddamn little girl is asleep in his construction zone and, when he wakes her up, says she's homeless.
Next thing he knows, she's asleep in his motel bed and he's filing foster parent paperwork.
What the fuck just happened?
(Foster parent AU! Featuring Joel Trying His Best And FailingTM, Ellie annoying local man and his friends & family into adopting her, and Tess/Joel as a lil treat for the masses.)

Summary
Jackson Hole sat at the base of two mountain ranges, with long, winding rivers that ran around its perimeter. The rolling fields seemed to go on forever and ever, full of bright wildflowers and blooming butterweeds. It was breathtaking to stand on top of the hill and look down at their new home.
It was the kind of shit people would paint pictures of.
It sort of made her want to throw up.
“Whadda’ ya say, kiddo? Ready to go home?” Joel asked.
Home.
He made it sound so fucking simple.
“Yep.” She forced a smile onto her face that she hoped looked believable. “Let’s go, old man.”
OR: After Salt Lake City, Ellie and Joel return to Jackson and try to build a life. Sometimes it’s hard to let go of the past.

Summary
Your father assigned Joel as your bodyguard, a man who follows orders and keeps his distance—no matter how much you push. You're young, reckless, and dangerously drawn to him, but Joel isn't like the men who fall at your feet. He's all control, all restraint—until protecting you starts to feel personal. When keeping you safe means keeping others away, when tension turns into something neither of you should want, the line between duty and desire begins to disappear.
And just when things are already complicated, your father decides to send you to the countryside to learn the value of real work—far from luxury, far from the life you know.

Summary
“Her name is Ellie,” she says, eyes still on the sweet, slumbering child. “Take care of her. Don’t fuck this up, Joel.”
He doesn’t respond, just watches until Marlene is gone and moves to lock the door once more, knowing it’s probably about to be a long night with very little sleep.
Glancing down at the baby – Ellie – Joel releases a slow breath. “Looks like it’s just you and me, kid.”
Fucking hell, he’s got his work cut out for him.

(Joel raises Ellie. Some things change while others stay the same. A journey from Boston to Wyoming.)
