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
“Well howdy Ellie, how can we help you?” Tommy drawls with a welcoming smirk.
“I know it's a long shot, and you're busy–busy people but I wanted to ask if I could– I.” God she's bad at this.
Fuck it.
She strides over to the more engaged Miller with her file, “here these - these are my most recent times from the Eastern Massachusetts District Championships, and there's others. I placed in all my events in the Boston Winter Classic, and every YMCA championship in the last year.” she harbours a deep breath
“I'm good, please, Just let me get in the pool and I’ll show you.”

Ellie is an elite swimmer and Joel is her coach; who will do anything to help her get to nationals, and then probably anything she ever asks of him, because my man is father shaped in every universe.(TLOU elite swimming AU nobody but the voices in my brain asked for).
