    Summary

    A non-linear tale of a reconciliation several years in the making.

    Meant to be read in the order they were published, but most work as a stand-alone so suit yourself. In case it makes it clearer, chronological order is:

    Hobbesian Trap -> Non-zero Sum Game -> Prisoner's Dilemma -> Nash Equilibrium -> Bayesian Game

    Summary

    "What? I'm supposed to let my 13 year old dictate my relationships?”

    "We said he comes first, you know that.” Buck held Eddie’s gaze, following his eyes when he tried to avoid his eye contact.

    “I know, it's just…” Eddie trailed off, turning away from Buck. “I thought this would be the easy part! I thought me being gay would be what he needed to adjust to, that he'd be uncomfortable seeing me with a man. I never thought he'd have a problem with you being that man.”

    Or, Eddie comes out to Chris, then he and Buck reveal their relationship. One of those conversations goes better than the other.

    Summary

    First it was her parents. Then Riley, and then Tess. Sam and Henry came next. At fourteen, all Ellie knew was loss. She should be used to it by now- expect it, even. What she didn't expect was to become so fond and attached to the grumpy, emotionally-unavailable smuggler that's spent the last three months protecting her at all cost. Despite her initial doubts, they were in this together now. Or at least they were, until Ellie finds out Joel's plan all along had been to ditch her the very first chance he got.

    Or: Ellie overhears Joel's conversation about leaving her & rather than agreeing to go with Tommy, she takes off to find the Fireflies on her own. But David and his group have other plans for her. Basically episode 6 & Ellie dealing with the aftermath of episode 8 (with some changes & angst).
