Ellie Williams' Guide to Teenage Rebellion by simoncowellsjuicytits

Summary
“Joel.” He says. He’s Texan, which as far as Ellie’s concerned is an accent-imitating jackpot.
"Can I call you Joe?"
"No."
"Jojo?"
"Absolutely not."
There's a brief silence.
“You’re gonna stop me from getting shot in the face?”“That’s the job.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the (alleged) daughter of the new president, Ellie Wiliams is hellbent on making herself as much of a nuisance as possible. Joel Miller, the virtually unreadable and perpetually grumpy bodyguard assigned to watch her for eighteen hours a day, certainly thinks she's doing a good job of it. But as Ellie processes losses of her past and present, she slowly begins to realise just how valuable it can be to have someone watching your back.
(Angst/eventual fluff found family Joel & Ellie AU, slow-burn father-daughter relationship.)

Summary
He knows from the moment he sees Joel helping the girl down from the horse she’s on that something’s up. There’s an ease to the movement that says he almost certainly helped her up on the horse as well, and the way she moves with absolute trust that he won’t let her fall says there’s a bond there that’s had time to develop.
The girl sticks close to Joel’s side, eyes wary, as he guides her back over.
“This is Ellie,” Joel says before turning to her. “This is my brother, T-”
“Tommy, yeah. I heard. Not all of us have shit ears, grandpa.”
He blinks at the comment, but Joel doesn’t seem offended, even as he rolls his eyes.
This is his second hint.
(Ellie and Joel from Tommy's POV, ft. some jelly Ellie, Ellie whump, and family bonding)

Summary
Joel adores Ellie. He rescued the young girl and sees the 15 year old as his own daughter, although he had once been a father, he'd never seen 15 with his daughter, Sarah. So everyday is something new. But today probably takes the cake.
Or
The coming out we all needed.

Summary
Deeply scarred by the loss of his 12-year-old daughter, Joel has deliberately distanced himself from anything involving children for the past 17 years. This initially included the 8-year-old foster kid who moved in down the street. Despite his resistance and attempt to stay detached, over the past year, he’s found himself drawn into the girl's life, eventually revealing the abuse she's been enduring at the hands of her foster father.
When Joel wakes up in the middle of the night to a phone call just days prior to Christmas, his life is forever changed.

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
Joel had hesitated when Sarah called him that first time, practically begging him to help chaperone her preschool class.
He’d declined initially, thinking his presence in her and her students' space would be exceedingly intrusive– besides, it'd been so long since he'd handled a toddler, much less had a gaggle of them running around him, and to a botanical garden of all places? He couldn't. Sarah would understand.
Sarah is a preschool teacher, and Ellie is her student.

“Don’t,” she growls, wincing as she prods at the largest cut. “Fucking ow, man. What day is it? Wednesday? Who the fuck gets blown up on a Wednesday?”
“You do.” He dodges Ellie’s flailing hand and digs through his pack for his canteen. “You okay to walk? Rather not patch you up right next to an active bomb.”

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.

Summary
When Ellie was leading David's men away from where she'd hidden Joel and the horse was shot out from under her, she fell.
Hard.
In ancient times, the first sign of developing civilization was a healed broken leg, as it leaves the individual all but helpless while they recover. And in David's words, "even lone wolves need to be cared for when they break their whole left side."
Little does he know that she's not a lone wolf.
Because Ellie’s got Joel. And he will never stop protecting her.
(Canon divergent from episode 8. When Ellie falls, she breaks her left arm, leg, and two ribs, leaving her vulnerable and trapped in the lodge as David insists on caring for her. Because of her injuries, she's not fit to fight - but Joel, despite his own stab wound, is willing to fight to the death to get his girl to safety and get her better.)

She picks up the keychain. It only has one key on it, and it’s a boring keychain, just one of those stretchy plastic bracelet ones that look like hair ties.
But it’s still a house key.
“You’ve known me for less than eighteen hours.”
“Highlight of my life,” Joel mutters.
Or: Another foster kid au!

Summary
“Apparently, soul marks are a big deal in FEDRA. You’re supposed to keep them always covered, never disclose your Names. They think it could create unnecessary camaraderie between the ranks, alliances they couldn’t control.”
“Fucking fanatics,” Joel mutters, and Tess snorts her agreement.
“Gets worse. That asshole told me it’s even more of a problem when there’s kids involved. FEDRA worries somebody could pick a fight with them, steal away one of their precious free resources. Or that the kids could grow and run – try to find whoever’s on their arms.”
Joel frowns. “So? Tell’em to cover their Names too?”
“Not really,” Tess says, finally turning to look straight at Joel. “With FEDRA kids, they erase them.”Soulmate AU. Everyone is born with their soulmates’ Names written on their skin. Joel meets his third when he’s fifty-six, and he’s tasked to smuggle her outside Boston’s QZ. This can’t possibly end well.

Summary
He knew what it meant, even if he didn’t want to admit it. Anna was slipping. Again. And Ellie was bearing the brunt of it.
Joel watched her go, his chest tight. As she rounded the corner, he made a silent promise to himself: if Anna didn’t pull it together soon, he’d step in. Scared or not. Because Ellie deserved better, and Joel couldn’t keep pretending he didn’t care.
OR: Modern setting, abusive Anna, eight-year-old Ellie, and neighbor Joel, who will do anything for Ellie. Even if he doesn't want to admit it.

Summary
Now that Ellie’s alone, she just sits on her bed and looks at her book. She can’t call it reading anymore – by now she has read the thing front to back so many times that she could quote some paragraphs word for word.
That’s why it’s weird that it took her so long to notice the message written on the front page.
There, nestled just below the title, there’s one line of writing addressed to her. It doesn’t mention any names, but it is for her. It can’t be otherwise.
It’s not Tommy’s handwriting, nor Maria's, nor Riley's.But it’s somebody’s. Somebody who knew she’d like to read about Moon landing, spaceships, and astronauts. Somebody who cared enough to take this book, fix the hardcover with some scotch tape, and give it to her. Somebody who wrote those words on the front page knowing that they would make her smile.
Somebody who loved her.
It’s late spring 2024 when Ellie wakes up in Jackson. She has a backpack full of books, a burn on her arm, and no memory of how she went from Boston QZ to Wyoming.
