Summary
"This was the price to pay to maybe, maybe, maybe one day be accepted as part of the group. He just had to show them that he could be useful, he could be good. He could rise above the curse of being a Dixon, he could make them forget the unpleasantness that stuck to his skin more stubbornly than dirt. If he tried hard enough, maybe they could stop thinking about how stupid and rash and undeserving he was. And even if they couldn’t, maybe they could simply overlook it, overlook him, forget that they were supposed to have an opinion on him in the first place. He would never give them another reason to cast him out. Then, he could stay."
Or, the one in which Daryl overworks himself and the group deals with the aftermath.
Set in between season 2 and 3 (before the prison).for my readers: I am SO SORRY for not updating, I am currently dealing with some stuff irl. I'm NOT abandoning the fic, I will be back in March with the final chapters <3

Summary
“I said-” she looked down at them through the barrel of the rifle, shaking slightly from what could be the cold or nerves “-drop your fucking weapons, I mean it, I will shoot”
Butcher saunters forwards, hands thrown up in a mockery of surrender.
“Look kid, we’ve dropped all our guns, even chucked my knife in there for ya. Now, do you want to tell us where the fuck you came from and how a fourteen year old girl got a hold of a gun? I knew you yanks were backwards bastards, but this just takes the fucking cake.”
***
What if after Joel fell on the Rebar, instead of Ellie running into David she is unknowingly teleported to The Boys universe and runs into Butcher and the gang? Based on the game, but will still make sense if you have only seen the show.

Summary
After a guilt-stricken, traumatized Harry returned to Hogwarts clinging onto the lifeless body of Cedric Diggory, Albus Dumbledore told Sirius Black to "lie low at Lupin's for a while", and to "help gather the old crowd". But Sirius, feeling more resolute and purposeful than he ever had in his life, looked the Headmaster directly in the eye and said, "No. Find someone else to do it. I'm staying with Harry. I'm not leaving him alone."
A story that diverges from canon, where the fallout from Cedric's death turns Harry's world upside down. But he discovers that even through the hardest of times, love and healing can be found.
Harry and Sirius learn to conquer their demons together. Sirius helps Harry to discover the true power of family, while Harry helps Sirius to heal from his time in Azkaban. He learns to do what he thought was impossible - navigate a world without James and Lily. In Sirius, Harry finds warmth and safety, and a reason to keep fighting. In Harry's emerald eyes, Sirius finds the motivation to become the man Lily and James trusted to take care of their boy.
And when the war starts in earnest, the fighting is brutal. But through adversity comes wisdom, hope, and the determination to prevail.

Summary
Joel sighs, runs his hand wearily over his face. “Baby,” he says, and despite herself, Ellie feels her shoulders relax at the nickname. “This - it’s a threat against all of us. It’s not something we can let lie.”
“I’m not telling you to just let it lie,” Ellie retorts. “Just- why does it have to be you?”
Joel looks away, shifts on his feet. “Ellie,” he says, and the timbre of his voice rakes a claw down her spine. “You know why.”
She does, and that’s the thing- she’s not sure she’s worth it, this kind of love that goes blind with rage in the face of threats, the kind of love that drives people out of their homes and into the night and away from their families. The kind of love that demands sacrifice. It sits uneasily beneath her skin, like an electric current.
*
Jackson is threatened - and Ellie steps up.

Summary
“So, you’re their lab rat,” he said.
“I’m not a rat,” she said indignantly.
The disheveled ponytail, dirt stained clothes, bare feet, and the way she presently occupied the ground were doing a lot to counter her statement. But he knew a kid missing context when he saw one.
“They’re using you to run experiments to test their theories. They used to do that shit to rats Before,” he said.
Her expression twitched with what was surely the question of why but she shook her head dismissively and instead said, “I’m the only immune person they’ve found. They need to study me.”
“So,” he said with repeated emphasis. “You’re their lab rat.”

Summary
“Christ, Tess, I thought you were in some kind of trouble. Do I look like a taxi service to you?” he asked.
She rolled her eyes to a sidelong glance. “No, Joel, I don’t need a ride for her, I need a place."
It took a beat for her words to sink in but when they did he pulled back half a step. “You want me to take the kid?”
“Just hear me out-”
“No.”

Ellie Williams' Guide to Teenage Rebellion by simoncowellsjuicytits

Summary
“Joel.” He says. He’s Texan, which as far as Ellie’s concerned is an accent-imitating jackpot.
"Can I call you Joe?"
"No."
"Jojo?"
"Absolutely not."
There's a brief silence.
“You’re gonna stop me from getting shot in the face?”“That’s the job.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the (alleged) daughter of the new president, Ellie Wiliams is hellbent on making herself as much of a nuisance as possible. Joel Miller, the virtually unreadable and perpetually grumpy bodyguard assigned to watch her for eighteen hours a day, certainly thinks she's doing a good job of it. But as Ellie processes losses of her past and present, she slowly begins to realise just how valuable it can be to have someone watching your back.

Routines by PaigeGoneRogue for Bumblepony
Fandoms: The Last of Us (Video Games), The Last of Us (TV)
26 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
Everyone had a routine, and Joel was no different. Some people strayed from their routine, making it inconsistent, unreliable, but they always came back to it. Their routines changed and shifted over the years, the only thing staying the same was that they woke up and fell asleep each day. Sometimes they died, and then that routine was over, leaving nothing but the memory of it. The ache to go back to a safer, happier time.
Almost everyone changed their routines. Trying new things or letting go of old ones. But not Joel. Not anymore. His routine was normal. Safe. It wasn’t happy, but it was what he did. He didn’t know what he’d do without it.
It repeated over and over and over again. An infinite loop. Monotony.

Summary
“Okay. Look, kid, you can use my phone. I get that you got no parents, but you must have someone lookin’ out for you.” He pulls out his phone and goes to hand it to her.
“Sure, whatever, man.” She says, holding both hands in front of her, palms up. He goes to place it on her hands, and as he lets go, it just falls through her. It's as if her hands are just images with no substance, which she guesses they kind of are.
She looks at him, and his face is pale, and it finally clicks: he actually didn’t know.
“What the hell kinda trick is this?” He says, his voice tight with just the hint of hysteria.
“It's not a trick man. I’m a ghost. How did you fucking not know.”
IE: Ellie is a Ghost, and Joel is the only one who can see her. She needs his help to figure out what happened to her before it's too late.

Summary
“This only works if you give me something to work with. You know that, right?” He thinks about telling her then and there: This is over. I’m done. I don’t go looking for missing girls. It’s not like she’s working with him, not like she’s doing him any favors on getting this investigation moving one way or the other.
With a heavy sigh, Ellie turns back and faces him. “Riley…she wasn’t exactly known for turning the other cheek.”
“You saying you’ve got a long list of potential suspects?”
She pulls her coat tighter around her middle, arms wrapped in a vice around herself in some useless attempt of defense, preservation. “She liked to protect me.”
Joel tries not to think too long and hard on why there was a time when this young woman was a stubby little teenager in need of so much protection. “You think she protected you from the wrong sort of person?”
Ellie’s tongue darts out to lick along her chapped, blue-tinged lips. She’s freezing. “I think maybe she tried to.”

Summary
"“It’s ok, baby girl,” he says in a breath as he shuts his eyes, trying to keep himself upright against a surge of heartache. He hears the words as if someone else has said them, like they didn’t leave his lips – but immediately feels the truth in it. The wall he’s tried to keep up between Ellie and Sarah, the nothing-but-bullshit line he’s drawn to try to somehow separate what they are to him is gone. There’s no more pretending. She’s his to take care of – that’s how she ended up here shaking and bleeding, after all, isn’t it?"

Summary
It was Joel who stumbled first.
He had felt the strength seeping out of him with every step so viscerally it was like his body was a container with a slow leak. His gate would falter and his hand would slip further down her shoulder, power waning. He would cough in his throat and blink forcefully trying to reignite the spark of energy that had carried him to Ellie just hours ago, but it was all a losing battle. And eventually, he lost it.
It was Ellie who moved first after that.

"Is that what you've been thinking, worried about...this entire time?"
Ellie shrugged, eyes downcast, unable to admit it by raising her gaze to meet him.
“Holding this in, suffering with all this, it doesn’t make you brave.”
“Then...why do you do it?”---
As Ellie struggles in the aftermath of winter, the road to Salt Lake doesn't make anything easier. She's trying, and Joel is trying, but nothing is simple about the path forward.- Language:
