Summary
"Steve turns his head, wide-eyed, to see his best friend staring straight ahead with his mouth set in a grim line. “I’m not– I haven’t–” Steve splutters, because he hasn’t really let himself consider the possibility. He wants to (God how desperately he wants to) but he couldn’t. He can’t. There’s too much resting on his shoulders.
On his tired, broken shoulders."Captain America has done his duty. Steve Rogers deserves to be happy.

Summary
Fear had a way of poisoning certainty. And tonight she was more afraid than she'd been in years. The tears kept coming long after she wished they would stop. And somewhere between guilt, fear, exhaustion, and old memories, Ellie lay awake in the darkness, staring at the ceiling and dreading the arrival of morning...

(Or: When Ellie makes a stupid decision, her life threatens to change irrevocably—at least that's what she believes. But, unfortunately for all of them, fate had very different, very cruel plans...)

Summary
Sometimes, Ellie got the strange sensation of being in a hotel, somewhere completely impermanent and impersonal. It was all too easy to picture the others leaving and simply never coming back, Ellie waiting in the empty space like a sad little foster kitten, ridden with fleas and whining at her food bowl. Then some new group would arrive and inform her it was theirs now, and that would be that. This place she called home could be rid of any trace of her in a matter of hours.
(Or: Ellie is a drug dealer. Joel is a dad. Bonding ensues.)

Summary
Ellie doesn't entirely understand why the things that happened to her were wrong — she just knows she was hungry and scared and that the dark in that particular closet had a specific texture she's been trying to forget.
The Millers are different. She can see that. She's just not sure yet if different means safe, or if safe means permanent, or if permanent is something that actually exists for someone like her.
Joel builds things with his hands and shows love the same way — through presence, through action, through sliding Sally across the floor without being asked. Tess knows what it is to be a case number in a system that doesn't see you, because she was one once. Sarah is fourteen and has made a highlighted document and has decided, quietly and completely, that this is her sister.
Ellie is six years old. She is trying very hard not to need them.
She is not succeeding.Bookmarked by Sunlight_Stars

Summary
Rain runs along the brim of her Stetson, trailing the dipping slope of her hat before dripping from the sweat-stained, weathered felt and leather.
It doesn’t protect her much from the deluge that’s pounding down around her, the early spring rain heavy and strikingly cold, the mist of her breath intermingling with the hanging humidity as she stands still as stone, unmovable except for the stray shiver she can't fight back or force down.
She can't look away, couldn't if she had wanted to, not that she does. No, Ellie wants to stay right here forever, maybe lay down where she can see her own claw marks dug into the ground and let more her own blood meld with the dirt that’s turned into a muddy, crimson slop.
This is where she was supposed to die, she can feel it all the way down into her darkest parts. Call it destiny, fate, divinity; it doesn't matter.
Something was supposed to take her three days ago, she wasn't meant to leave this fucking field breathing, but for some reason she’d been spared while Joel was not, most of the darkened blood sullying the soil his and not hers.
