    Summary

    Maeve Greene has long known what it took to survive. She had no family, her former group left her in Boston thirteen years ago, without even a goodbye. She learned to rely on no one but herself. Becoming known for stealing and creating devices that made things go boom, people started to pay attention to her in the Boston QZ. So when she angers the wrong kind of people for the last time and finds herself locked in a cell with an infected girl meant to cure the world… she is already planning what comes next.

    Which is not Joel Miller. The grumpy smuggler, he was known for being violent, vicious and ruthless. But Marlene ordered death upon her head, forcing her out of Boston and her only way out without death was to leave with Joel and help deliver a fourteen-year-old Ellie to the fireflies doorstep.

    What could go wrong.

    PSA: This is based mostly on the HBO version of The Last of Us with some aspects of the game. I will most likely continue once season 2 comes out, but that doesn't mean there won't be non-cannon events because I do deviate from the show a little and will add aspects for the character.

    Summary

    Ellie slows down and looks back at Joel with chagrin, raising her eyebrows and pursing her lips, but she elbows Sam and gestures for him to wait for Joel and Henry to catch up. He’s reminded with a pang of another little girl on another hiking trip, a far less perilous trip than this on one of the trails outside of Austin, scampering up a boulder that screamed a broken collar bone or broken ankle to him, but she made it down unscathed, rolling her eyes at his worries. Like every memory of her, it’s tinged with the reminder of how, ultimately, all of the worrying he did wasn’t enough, still left her dead, blood staining her favorite t-shirt.

    Ellie and Sam are waiting when they catch up, back to giggling over some inside joke. Joel shakes his head, shouldering his backpack and forging ahead.

    Sam and Henry live. Adventures and found family bonding ensue on the journey from Kansas City to Jackson and beyond.

    Summary

    “You won’t come back the same Miller. The shit I’ve seen there is so cruel you’ll walk ‘outta there with your hands in your hair, wishing you never entered in the first place.” One of the guys at an odd job told him. But Joel knew something was wrong with him when only he could drop those bodies from the trucks into the fire pit as if it were a sack of sand. No matter how big or small. Something he didn’t have the guts to do 20 years ago. Besides, the work wasn’t half as bad. Keeping guard in local area’s and rarely having to put someone down, besides infected of course. In the world they lived in it was considered a luxury.

    Only thing not so nice?

    Having to eat in the same cafeteria as those God-forsaken kids FEDRA kept around to build into soldiers. It was a new program FEDRA set up a few weeks ago. The adult soldiers would have lunch with the kids. The project was meant to show the kids what it would mean to be disciplined and grow into a respectful officer one day. Of course, the reality of that wasn’t so black and white.

    Summary

    It isn't ideal to go through the apocalypse alone - which is exactly why you're glad you met Joel and Ellie. You don't really have anyone else- and it helps to have something to fight for. Meeting Henry and Sam could mean finding more to fight for. Maybe even something to live for.
