    Summary

    After leaving the Fireflies, you ended up in the settlement of Jackson with Tommy, unwilling to part with the only friend you had left. You were even able to carve somewhat of a life out for yourself after a few years.

    Until Tommy's older brother shows up. You think Joel Miller is gruff and rude, and you're pretty sure he doesn't have a fond opinion of you either. That doesn't stop the attraction you feel for each other, but he's gone in a day. You settle back into a routine, thinking you'll never see him again.

    Then Joel returns a few months later, and screws up everything about the comfortable life you had established in Jackson.

    Summary

    “It’s not for you.”

    That shuts off her stream of words at once. He resists the urge to blink back at her in surprise. He hadn’t known he was going to say that until he said it. Seeing the way her shoulders have lost some of their tension, though, he knows at once that it was the right call. It galls him a bit, what he’s about to say, twenty years of survival making him reticent to admit any weakness.

    But fourteen years before that has him speaking anyway.

    Ellie won’t admit her weaknesses. That’s fine. She’s clearly been knocked over hard by that fucking place. He can take the fall for this one, if that’s what it takes to get her somewhere safe, a place where he can tend her properly, can tuck her away in a soft bed in a safe town, can get some meat back on her bones.

    Can–please God–get some life back in her eyes.

    Summary

    Ellie knows before she’s even told that the woman is a former FEDRA officer. There’s a way she carries herself that raises Ellie’s hackles at once, makes her stand up straighter, makes her hyper-aware of the dirt on her shoes and the way her ponytail is slipping out, both infractions that would be punishable under FEDRA regulations.

    In an instant, Ellie knows they’re destined to hate each other.

    Summary

    Familiar words ring true in his ears, a tone of voice similar to Sarah’s when she would come home from school upset about another little girl’s harsh words. She’d fret and fuss over her looks, try her hardest to fit in even when he assured her she was perfect already.

    He has no doubt in his mind when Ellie suddenly starts caring about her hair, or the stains on her jacket, or making sure her teeth are flossed before she goes out on patrol with the others.

    Dina is a mean girl.

    Summary

    It scares him, though, the idea of something happening to Joel. It’s been one of his worst fears for years, ever since a missed bullet, ever since a fight, ever since Joel dropped off the radar and he felt almost a guilty sense of relief at not having to face his own failure. It’s been worse since he met Ellie and he saw his brother come back to life, because that little girl needs his brother like she needs air.

    Or: Tommy POV again! This time, he's watching Ellie while Joel has surgery. Ellie is not fond of this plan.
