Summary
Joel had been her twentieth placement in her short fourteen years. She could not recall what any of her foster homes looked like, but she knew what a house needed to be a house. Usually, only four walls and a roof. The rest: useless technicalities.
But Joel’s apartment strayed from familiarity. No locks on anything or keypads to restrict her access. Nothing that would suggest Joel was capable of ostracizing her in this small space that seemed to be at her disposal.((Ellie, a troubled foster kid is thrust into a temporary emergency placement with Joel, a first time, very reluctant foster parent. What could possibly go wrong? (Answer: a lot))
*on indefinite hiatus*

Summary
“Ellie?” Tommy calls, loud enough that she should be able to hear him from anywhere in the house. “I’ve got extra blueberry muffins from the dining hall.” (Yeah, he might be trying to buy her affection with baked goods, but that’s not a crime.)
There’s no response, and his stomach twists a bit as he locks the door behind him and drops the key back in his pocket. “Ellie?”
Silence.

Summary
“Shhh, baby girl it’s just me.” Joel’s voice is low and it sounds…off, for some reason she can’t place.
“Huh?” she whispers, stumbling in the dark. She can’t see his face in the low light of the living room, but his silhouette moves from the coat rack in her direction.
“Hey sweet girl.” He coos, reaching out to cup her cheek in his hand. “Didn’t mean to wake ya’ honey.”
Ellie blinks, confused as fuck at this random sweet talk. What’s with all the pet names? And the face touching? He did it a few times after the Silver Lake incident, and once or twice when she’s had a pretty horrific night terror, but normally he’s not so…soft.
Then, the putrid smell of hard liquor hits her nostrils, and she recoils almost instantly. Blegh. Drunk.
Drunk Joel is new.
(Joel gets drunk for the first time in front of Ellie. She sees a softer side to the gruff man she’s come to know.)

Summary
You’re giggling, pressed up against his side. With you this close, Connor can smell you; a pleasant mix of deodorant, laundry detergent, and the alcohol on your breath. You had left your jacket at the door, leaving you in just a tank top and jeans, and Connor’s system feels hot where your skin presses against his arm.
Nobody’s ever willingly been this close to him. Not enough for their bare skin to touch his. The sensation is enough to make him dizzy.
---
After a night spent drinking with some of your coworkers, you decide to head home. Connor offers to walk you so you’re not alone.
