    Summary

    Unbeknownst to Joel, he was being watched. Observing quietly from the rear end of his truck, there was a little girl, dressed in tattered clothes and barely any taller than one of the wheels that she was standing beside. “Hey!” She hollered, smiling when she watched Joel practically jump out of his skin at the sound of her voice.

    Joel’s eyes darted over, quickly worming through the shadows and picking out the kid, despite how small she was. “Christ, girl,” He admonished, his heart still racing inside of his chest. “How are you so goddamn quiet?”

    The girl grinned from ear to ear and then dared a step closer. “It’s a talent."

    “You’re lucky it’s only me that you snuck up on,” Joel lectured.

    “Yeah, ‘cause you seem so pleasant,” The girl teased. She was closer now, like one of those cats who snuck closer every time they weren’t being watched.

    Joel snorted in response. “What the hell are you even doin’ out here anyway? This is the middle of nowhere.”

    The girl flashed another smile. “I’m on an adventure,” She replied, grinning up at him with a missing tooth.

    Joel snorted again. “What, to become roadkill?”

    TLDR// Trucker AU! Ellie's a stowaway, and Joel's a lone wolf.

    Summary

    “Be back soon?” she asks, if for herself or Joel she doesn’t know. Probably both.

    Din inclines his head. “I will try.”

    It’s not a yes, it isn’t a promise, but it’s still more than she expected to get.


    As time passes, farewells become more difficult to bear.

    Or: A clan of four faces shifting expectations and shifting priorities, promises kept and promises broken, and a storm brewing on the horizon.

    Summary

    “She knows her uncle Tommy, you’re not a stranger to her.” he says, begging Tommy with his eyes.

    His baby brother looks so different than he had six years ago. He’s grown the mustache out again.

    It’s filled in better this time.

    “What the fuck were you thinking Joel” Tommy's voice cracks. He looks at Joel like he’s been gutted.

    “Living” the reply is hoarse, he knows he’s not answering the question he was asked. Their eyes connect again, he sees the understanding shining in his brother’s eyes.

    “Living” Tommy echoes back.
    ——
    The modern au in which Joel is a firefighter thrust back into fatherhood at 36 by our favorite little shit Ellie, that literally no one asked for.
