Summary
The people of Jackson watched them walk through the gates. Dina imagined that some people were looking at her with pity. Some, with regret. Some, with anger.
What Dina couldn’t imagine was that a single person was looking at her with understanding. How could anyone understand?
Dina and Ellie arrive in Jackson after the brutal events of Seattle. Here, they attempt to pick up the pieces of their life before moving to the farmhouse.

Summary
"Dina brought the button-up close to her face, slowly closed her eyes, and deeply breathed in the lingering scent.
It smelled like…
...like the earth out in the woods.
Like the soap they all shared in the bath, tinged with lavender.
Like the oil she had watched Ellie rub into the fretboard of her old guitar.
Like whiskey.
Like Ellie."
A slow burn, Dina-centric story, about whether or not love can ever find it's way back home through hurt and loss.
Complete.

Please excuse my bookmarking system, I have the memory of a goldfish /// One of the definitive post part 2 reconciliation fics. Whiskey knew what they were doing, and they did it really fucking well.

Please excuse my bookmarking system, I have the memory of a goldfish /// Canon-divergent fic that explores what might have happened at the end of TLOU1, if Joel stayed with Ellie at the SLC hospital and reluctantly worked with Jerry Anderson to try to develop a vaccine from Ellie's infection. Fair warning, the end is SAD, but beautiful.

Please excuse my bookmarking system, I have the memory of a goldfish /// Post part 2 fic. The author alternates between Dina chapters (traditional written style) and Ellie chapters (images of pages from her journal). So cool! Sweet fic.

Summary
Ellie and Dina are carefree. They are young and they are damn well enjoying it, despite the infected and the horrors and the potential death. They're rambunctious, they're full of beans; they're tough and seventeen, they're innocent and dirty, they don't give a fuck.
OR:
A long one-shot about Ellie's time in Jackson. It's very poetic and comfortable and they play like children, without the pain.Bookmarked by FiresideGuitar (Defy_them)

Please excuse my bookmarking system, I have the memory of a goldfish /// VERY vibin' exploration of Ellie's time in Jackson before the events of part 2, starting with the day Ellie arrives there from the hospital, and ends with the dance and their night in the weed den. The author writes in second person Ellie POV, and has a very distinct and poetic style of writing. Lots to love about this one

Summary
Ellie hasn’t moved yet, sprawled out in a pool of her own blood wishing the world wasn’t here anymore.
She knows she needs to get up but the pounding in her heart is drowning out the pounding in her head. Each pulse feeling like another nail being hammered into her bloodied body. Pinning her down to the splintered wooden ground.
Fear paralyzing her. Getting up meant this was real, that it wasn’t a nightmare. Knowing if Dina was alive or dead.

Bookmarker's Notes
Please excuse my bookmarking system, I have the memory of a goldfish /// Explores the timejump between the theatre fight and the day Tommy goes to the farm. Several memorable scenes, like Dina giving birth to JJ, and the day Ellie hunts a boar at a gas station near their farm and triggers an episode. The author writes in such a cool prose-like style, and has Ellie's humour down so well
