Summary
“Miller,” The radio crackled, shattering the otherwise peaceful night. “You there?”
Joel simmered in the quiet for one more moment before sighing and taking his radio from its rest. “Here,” He echoed in a grumble. “What’ve you got for me?”
“I’ve got a missing little girl, possibly seen about two blocks from you. Suspect’s mid fifties, possibly armed. He’s her math teacher. ” The voice over the radio drawled. Tess. Her low, weathered voice, similar to Joel’s, was easy to recognize. They were friends, maybe something more than that, which was why she knew that a call about a missing girl was going to be hard for him. “I know,” She sighed over the microphone. “But, I don’t have anyone else, and this girl’s been gone all day. Every second counts, you know that.”
“I know that,” Joel echoed in a low tone. He sighed, and then reached down and flicked on his siren. "Christ. Her teacher?"
“I know,” Tess echoed. “Just go get her.”
TLDR// Joel was a cop. After a long day of long calls, he was heading home, and then he got the call. It was just another call, just another kid. And then it wasn't. As soon as he saw Ellie, he knew that it wasn't, and he knew that she wasn't leaving his life anytime soon.

Summary
Much like the other day, Ellie ends up sitting on the porch steps. Joel’s back even quicker this time. Almost like he’d left his first aid supplies sitting out and ready to attend as needed.
More cleaning, this one hurts less. More gel liquid, this time rubbed in a bit better. And more bandaids, these ones something other than plain, boring beige. Not princesses either, usually the first thing adults reached for when they mixed the two factors of Little Girl and Injured together.
Nope. This guy has dinosaur bandaids.
“Dude, I fucking love dinos!”
Joel’s head swivels up, eyes going from her carefully patched up elbow to meet Ellie’s gaze. She wants to ask him how he knew. She wants to ask to see the rest of the designs in the box. She wants to tell him all of the other things she loves.
“S’pose I picked right then,” he says, almost like he’d been standing in the aisle, contemplating what exactly that might be.
“You did,” is how Ellie answers him, not bothering with a thank you.

or: Ellie is Joel's next door neighbor who's hellbent on learning to ride a bike to get where she needs to go. Little does she know that place is right across the street.

Summary
The first sign of things being incredibly strange is that Bill phones him. Joel and Bill don’t talk on the phone. Joel talks to Frank sometimes, because Frank still worries about him, but his communication history with Bill can be summed up in text messages shorter than ten words, and the occasional chain email about some kind of conspiracy Bill sends him that he deletes without opening.
Or: Another foster care au! With, uh, a twist?

Summary
(Yes the title is from sofia the first, yes I'm laughing at it, I find it funny-)
In which Phil has created the Antarctic Empire from the ground up and takes in Techno and Wilbur along the way, and raises them while also ruling his kingdom. Tommy, sixteen, lives with Tubbo in an orphanage, the two of them running around in the cold streets of their town.
After a hectic day of getting separated from Tubbo, getting into a few fights, and ending up in an entirely new town, he comes across Phil, and saves him from an assassination attempt by smashing a plate over someone's head.
So then both Techno and Wilbur decide to see who this kid is, and Tommy sure is endearing, in the way that the first time they spy on him, he starts a fight in an alleyway over a bag of cookies.
(and then Tommy basically gets kidnapped into the royal family, but like, legally, y’know?)
