Summary
Across the room, Shigaraki lies on his back, eyes closed and utterly vulnerable. Izuku knows he should fight. That if he got up right now, he could subdue him, prevent anybody else from getting hurt and bring him in to the police. He could stop the League. But—
He can’t.
Stand up.
He can’t.
Crawl.
He can’t. He can’t move. Nothing keeps him in place but his own mind, a chilling panic that roots his aching back to the wall and feet to the floor.~~~~~~~~~
Basically, the mall trip goes a little differently.
(The first chapter from Shigaraki's POV, and the beginning of the second chapter have a very different tone from the rest of the fic, so please don't let it dissuade you from reading on. The story focuses more on development of Aizawa, Bakugou, and Izuku as it goes on.)

Summary
“I thought it would be nice if you came over for dinner at ours sometime. It’s me, and my husband, and our two boys. I’m sure you’ve seen them around school?”
Now that she mentions it, she does recognize the name. The Erikson boys are nice enough, one older than her, one younger. Both humongous. Just like their mother, who is towering over Ellie as they speak.
“That’s…nice,” Ellie says, uncomfortable. “But, um. Why?”
Mrs. Erikson smiles. “Because, dear. I thought it would be good for us all to get to know each other. Seeing as Tommy Miller came and talked to us about the possibility of you coming to live with us.”
or:
A series of misunderstandings has Ellie doubting her place in the Miller family. The remaining Millers do their best to show her where she belongs.

Summary
Joel rarely gets calls from unfamiliar numbers, so his tone is gruff and cautious when he answers.
“Is this Joel Miller?” Asks the girl on the other end.
“Who’s this?” He demands.
“Oh, right. My name is Ellie Williams. I’m a criminal justice student at the university. I was calling to see-“
“Don’t call me again,” his voice is a growl, rage seeping into his veins as he puts together the purpose of this call.
“Mr. Miller, please just give me a minute. I run a true crime podcast about unsolved cases. We’ve already solved two-“
“Don’t call me again, do you hear?”
“Listen, there’s some evidence in your daughter's case that was overl-“
Joel hangs up the phone. For good measure, he blocks the number like Tommy showed him how to do.
(Joel's daughter was murdered 20 years ago, and it's still unsolved. Ellie runs a true crime podcast. - AKA finding eachother in every universe- true crime AU)

Summary
Ellie's sixteen, when she finally gets fed up with the foster system and decides to run for the hills. In her mind, she figures years of complete solitude, but the perfect opposite happens: she meets Sarah, another teenage runaway, her soulmate, her better half. Life is finally good.
And then the Accident happens, and because Murphy's Law is a bitch and a half that says that, if shit happens, more shit is bound to come, now she's pregnant too. Oh, and Sarah abandons her after a not-so-cryptic conversation about how she wants to go home before winter comes, leaving behind a note saying she'll come and find her again.
Clearly, she went home to her Dad, and clearly Ellie's not gonna stay in Bumfuck, Wyoming, waiting for her. No, she'll go look for her, even if it means having to drive all the way to Boston and live with her father-in-law.
Besides, considering her current state, it's gonna be nice to have a warm bed, a roof over her head, and a man who is so much of a girls' father that he's gonna let her annoy the crap out of him.
[Alternatively: how Joel ends up taking into consideration only the "daughter" part of "daughter-in-law."]

Summary
“Mornin’!” Tommy greets him. “Ellie, this is Joel. He’s the owner of Miller Contracting, the foreman of this site, and the pain in the ass who will hound you about not wearing your hard hat low enough.”
Joel rolls his eyes as the girl chuckles and reaches a small, dainty-looking hand out toward him.
“Nice to meet you, Joel. My name is Ellie Williams. Thank you for the opportunity.”
Joel looks at her outstretched hand warily. “Opportunity for what?”
“Ellie here is the newest member of our team,” Tommy explains, “just hired her this mornin’.”
(ellie is a struggling young adult hired on joel's contracting crew- the no outbreak finding each other in every universe AU )

Summary
“I don’t know why I have to go to this stupid fucking group in the first place.” Ellie slumped in the passenger’s seat of Marlene’s big black SUV. She stared out the window at the evening skyline along the Longfellow Bridge, arms crossed over her chest, lips pressed together in a thin line.
“We’ve talked about this, Ellie,” her social worker responded calmly. “For the judge to agree to probation instead of jail time, you need to complete 12-weeks of court-mandated grief therapy, and since you refused to do individual sessions, we had to find a group that would take you. Compassionate Friends is the only one with an opening.”
“But it’s for people with dead kids,” she said flatly. Bereaved parents, was the politically correct term that the website had used.
(Ellie & Joel meet at a grief support group they were both forced to attend)
