   Summary

   Joel doesn’t know how to describe what you were to him. You’d never made any promises to each other, but you loved his daughter like she was your own. Had he known what would happen, he wouldn't have let you go.

   series will take place before AND after the outbreak. Slow-burn(ish), eventual smut.
