Summary
“Hate to break this to you, kid, but you don’t know jack shit about making a vaccine or a cure.”
“Oh, and you do, Doctor Joel?”
His eyes rolled at the smartass emphasis she drove into those last two words. “I know it’s more complicated than smearing your blood on an open wound.”
“Really?” Her voice was skeptical but a glint of hope lit her eyes.

Summary
Joel hadn’t prayed in well over a decade. In fact, the last time he’d spoken to God was when his daughter was bleeding out in his arms. He’d begged him not to take her, and God had laughed in his face. Well, this time he wasn’t begging. He was going to find Ellie, and he swore to himself that this time would be different. That this time, his little girl would be alright.
Or, Joel finds Ellie in the snow and realizes that his heart can still break in so many different ways.

Summary
And then soft, so soft Ellie barely hears from all the way over on her staircase, ear angled down towards the slats in the railing, breath held while awaiting a reply. She needs the truth, too. She deserves the truth. After all of this. The blood on her hands, on her face, on her memories. She gets to know why. Why after all this shit, none of it was even worth it.
What Ellie once believed to be heavy, uneven breathing, she comes to realize, is quiet, fractured sobbing. “I can’t lose her,” he confesses, an omission to what Ellie already knew from the second she woke up in the back of that car, woozy and light and empty. Bare legs, cold and exposed in a hospital gown. The whole car reeked of human blood and sweat, while her skin was the cleanest, the purest, it had been in months.
“I couldn’t let ‘em take her, Tommy.”
It’s all the answer she needs.
------
Through the seasons of Joel and Ellie's first year in Jackson. How the anger she feels at his betrayal wedges its way between them and how they find their way back together regardless.
