    Summary

    “I’m still getting used to that.” Ellie tells him. “Someone caring where I am all the time.”

    Joel chooses his words very carefully. “It’s my job. I quite like it, if I’m honest. ”

    She smiles, a little wry, expression molding into something awkward to hide the tremble of her lip. “Interesting take considering I’m the government equivalent of a last draft pick.”

    He hums in acknowledgement. “But you’ll always be my first round pick. That’s what counts.”

    or;

    It's been twenty years since Sarah died and he fell apart. It's been fifteen years since Tommy couldn't take the heartbreak of helping someone who didn't want to be helped and left without looking back. And it's been ten years since Joel's started to rebuild.

    It's day one of fostering Ellie Williams.

    Summary

    When Ellie has to stay with Tommy & Maria while Joel is away on a long-distance patrol she finds it hard to cope with his absence despite her best efforts to be the capable and responsible almost-adult she knows she is. Dealing with this, as well as a bully in her school class leads her to make a dangerous choice. Tommy steps up in Joel's absence and disciplines her, but inadvertently makes Ellie feel like she's not really his niece, just an unexpected burden.

    Can Ellie hold it together long enough for Joel to get back, or will the emotional shrapnel from her punishment leave permanent damage to the Miller family?

    And will she ever be able to show Brendan-fucking-Walker just who he's messing with?

    Or, Joel goes on patrol. While he's away Ellie tries to show up a classroom bully by doing some dangerous shit, but gets caught by Tommy, who spanks her in Joel's place. She begins to feel like Tommy doesn't actually love her as an Uncle like he says he does. Angst ensues. Miller men remain incapable of really saying what they feel.

    Summary

    Joel’s seat moves a bit, indicating that someone has sat down next to him. There’s no overtly offensive smells coming from them, so that’s a small blessing, but he doesn’t open his eyes. Please let them not be chatty, please let them just sit there for the next ten hours and leave him the fuck alone.

    The bus starts rolling from the station, the noise level cresting briefly and then dropping back down again, and Joel finally opens his eyes, chancing a glance over at the person sitting next to him.

    Scratch that – the kid sitting next to him.

    Summary

    What should have been a treat in payment for watching baby TJ turns into a nightmare when Ellie inadvertently sees something upsetting in a movie. Unfortunately for everyone Tommy handles the situation really badly, triggering a series of events that firmly drives a wedge between Tommy and Joel. Ellie just wants to pretend that nothing happened and move on, but Joel is determined to punish her newly found uncle for his actions towards her. In an attempt to return everything to how it was before Ellie hatches a plan to make the Miller brothers talk to each other. What should have been a simple mission turns unexpectedly deadly leaving Tommy and Ellie alone and in danger. Will they survive, and more importantly, will the Miller family ever be the same again?

    TLDR: Tommy fucks up, Ellie gets more trauma to add to her already impressive pile, Tommy is an asshole, Joel wants to kill Tommy, Ellie is forced to take drastic measures because Miller men are idiots, Tommy and Ellie are in danger.

    Summary

    “You are not replaceable, I am not temporary.” He’s holding her face in his hands, wiping away the tears that try to fall from the corner of her eyes.

    She’s had a shit childhood, one he wishes with every fiber of his being, he could replace for her.

    He can do this, though. Be here for her now.

    “Look at me kiddo, I know you are not Sarah, and I don’t need you to be. I need you to be Ellie; funny, brave, and so goddamn smart, Ellie.” His heart tugs painfully in his chest as her face screws up in an anguished expression.

    “You are enough just as you are, and anybody who tells you different will find themselves laid out for spit’n that kind of bullshit at my kid.” He tucks her into his chest as the first broken sobs burst past her lips.

    She might be eighteen, a legal adult, but she’s still just a kid looking for the comfort of a parent.

    Something she’s never had before. He’ll be that for her, if she’ll let him.

    From now until the earth claims him.


    Another modern/western vibe. After Ellie ages out of foster care in Boston, she greyhounds it out to Wyoming to work at Miller Ranch, where Joel is waiting in that dad shape of his.
