Summary
Bolstered at finding that she can in fact do good work in the care and keeping of a Joel, she decides to expand her bag of tricks.
Unfortunately, there’s one area that she knows is most important in keeping Joel safe, in knowing that she can take care of him if she needs to.
It just happens to be an area that sends her into panic attacks of her own.
Medical care.
(in jackson, ellie can't stop thinking about how joel almost died because she didn't know how to fix him) (she decides to take steps to make sure this never happens again) (even if it means living in her own personal hell)

Summary
“I thought you were gonna be mad at me,” she says, flicking her eyes up to him briefly before looking back to the snowglobe, giving it another shake, this one more restrained.
“I get why you wanna go out,” he says, sitting back. Apparently they’ll be having this little chat entirely in the hallway. “I’m not going to let you, but I get why you want to.”
She bites the inside of her cheek, thoughtful.
“You promise you’re not mad?” She asks. It’s not the first time he’s been asked this question. He’s pretty sure it won’t be the last.
“Promise,” he tells her. “Already forgotten.”
She looks at him then, a studying sort of look, and then she smiles.
“That’s just because you’re getting senile,” she says, like the little shit she is.
Perhaps he should reconsider letting her off the hook so easily.
(after settling in jackson, joel has to work through how to parent around issues from ellie's past) (aka 11k words of joel being the best dad in the business)

Summary
The butterfly leads him on a path that makes him smile, weaving around trees and clambering up rocks the way he did when Sarah was small enough that some of her climbs left her stranded. It’s utterly senseless, the same route Sarah would pick when he wasn’t chiding her to stay on the trails. The butterfly never leaves his sight, like it’s waiting for him to catch up, and he can almost hear Sarah calling “C’mon slowpoke!” through the trees as he follows the little yellow dot. His throat feels tight, but he feels lighter than he has in years, playing this stupid game.
He snorts when the butterfly disappears around a tree. Sarah used to love darting around trees to jump out at him, so he jogs to catch up, and in his stupid whimsy, swings himself around-
And finds himself face to face with a small teenager with a gun.
(alternate meeting in which joel goes to make another suicide attempt and instead finds an injured ellie)

Summary
Without a second thought, he'd wrapped his coat around the girl's shoulders and led her upstairs to the car. He sat her in the passenger seat and cranked the heater before radioing the station. She didn't say a word on the drive. When they'd gotten back to his office, Joel wasn't even sure she was listening to his questions. "Where do you live?," he asked. "Nowhere," she said. After maybe an hour of dodging questions, she left.
"If I'm not under arrest, then I can leave."
Joel couldn't argue with the facts. He saw her buying a soda at the vending machine on her way out.

Summary
Takes place right after Part II
On her way back to Jackson, Ellie spends the night in an abandoned little cabin in the woods. If she had known that the cabin would teleport her into a world where the cordyceps doesn't exist and Joel is very much alive, she'd have made a ten mile detour around it.
But as it is, she's stuck in a modern Jackson now and neither she nor Joel have any idea how to get her back. Ellie has no choice but to confront her demons, and Joel—
Well, he has a few demons of his own to deal with.

Summary
Being the key to saving humanity is much less glamorous than someone might expect. There’s a lot more bleeding and puking and sweating than she thinks is fair, strictly speaking, and she makes the fun discovery that she loses her shit in an MRI machine when it reminds her of being trapped in a cage, and she has a panic attack so bad Joel almost breaks the machine getting her out.
(She gets sedated before MRIs after that, so she wakes up nauseous and grumpy, but beggars can’t be choosers, and MRI flight risks can’t be vocal about their side effects.)
“Say the word,” Joel always says, when he’s rubbing her back or holding her hair out of the way or letting her clutch his hand while they do a spinal tap, “and we’re out of here.”
“We’re so close,” she always tells him. “They’ll figure it out soon.”
And she believes it, mostly.
Primarily because she has to, if she’s going to keep going.
(the fireflies don't try to kill her, but ellie still has a Very Bad Time in the hospital)

Summary
He doesn’t notice that one of her shoes is untied until a lace gets caught in a notch of a log as they pass, sending her down hard.
The momentum of her fall sends him thudding against a tree, and his eyes slam shut as he grits his teeth against the white hot pain that flares in his side.
When he opens his eyes, she’s facedown in the snow, still and silent, hands still at her sides making it clear that she didn’t even try to catch herself.
It speaks of so much trauma, so much unresponsiveness, that he feels tears sting his eyes at the sheer scale of what’s happened to her, of how small and useless he is to fix any of it, of how much he’s let her be hurt by his own failure to protect her.
But there’s no time for his own self-loathing.
She needs him, insufficient as he is.

Summary
A season 4/Tenth Doctor era rewrite that reunites Rose with the Doctor a bit earlier and sidesteps the metacrisis/Donna losing her memories. While the main focus is on Rose getting to spend the rest of her life with the Doctor, I'll also be exploring new storylines with Martha and Donna as I guide them to new end games. (For Martha, that will be her quiting UNIT and joining up with Ace's work. Donna's new end game is still up in the air.) In addition to the S4 finale rewrites, I'm also planning a 50th anniversary rewrite, another crossover with Thirteen's crew, and lots of general Ten/Rose goodness. Stay tuned!

Summary
The Doctor sighed, wistfully remembering that very first trip out with Rose. She’d been flabbergasted at the mere concept of universal roaming, and the Doctor couldn’t help but smile as he recalled the delighted wonder in her tone. She could comprehend the sentient, telepathic time-and-space ship, but somehow the concept of advanced technical jiggery pokery baffled her--as if there were anywhere in the world he couldn’t get a silly little signal to.
Perhaps he should’ve considered something similar for Amy, prodded her to call Rory or something. Of course, he couldn’t have known they’d end up engaged, in his defense. And picking him up was just inherently better, wasn’t it? No need to upgrade the cell phones just yet--well, it could never hurt, just because one of them wasn’t stuck on Earth didn’t mean they wouldn’t need to call every once in a while--
As if there were anywhere in the world he couldn’t get a silly little signal to--
Just because one of them wasn’t stuck on Earth--
Rassilon, he was an idiot.
*****
(OR: The Doctor tries to have forever with Rose, in the form of unlimited minutes and multiversal roaming. Basically, it's a phone call fic.)

Summary
She was almost lost to the void, but Rose held on just long enough to stay with her Doctor, to continue their adventures through time and space. But despite the near loss bringing the Doctor and her closer together, Rose is uncertain about the smart, beautiful Martha Jones joining them, or the obvious crush she has on the Time Lord.

Summary
At first, the idea that Tonks and Professor Lupin could be together was equal parts baffling and absurd. But then, maybe it did make a tiny bit of sense, Ginny thought, as she watched the way Professor Lupin looked at Tonks over the breakfast table. But she still couldn't help but think that this love and relationships thing was far too complicated. RLNT.

Summary
The full moon is definitely not Remus Lupin's favourite time of the month. It's especially not his favourite when it happens to fall on Christmas Day.
An AU inspired by the fact that 2015 marked the first full moon on Christmas since 1977. 1977 just happened to be Remus' final year at Hogwarts and 2015 would make Teddy Lupin 17 years old.
