Summary
"What happened to you?"
"I was being nosy and took a beating for it. You should watch out so you don't end up like me."
The kid huffs and crosses her arms. "You can't even stand up to beat me, so I can be as nosy as I want."
Joel just stares at her blankly. Being silent usually worked on Tommy, whenever he made up his mind that today was the perfect day to drive Joel up the wall. Usually being the key word here.
She narrows her eyes and looks closer at his casts. "What, is it something embarrassing?" she asks and leans forward, the look on her face suggesting that she is delighted by the idea. "Like you fell down the stairs or something?"
"I didn't fall down any stairs," Joel grumbles.
---
Joel has an accident at work and ends up in the hospital. Ellie is a foster kid who's there to keep him company. Joel is not happy about that. He's not.Spoiler alert: Joel totally fell down those stairs.

Summary
“It doesn’t feel real,” Ellie says that night, when his patience with the Fireflies has broken, and he’s enforced a bedtime for their labrat that involved bodily shoving medical staff out of the room and slamming the door in their faces.
From his place on a cot right in front of the door to make sure no one gets ideas about coming in without warning, he looks over to her, but she’s only looking at the ceiling, looking far too small in the hospital bed she’s been settled on. They’d had her hooked up to machines at first, but she’d been unable to settle with them on her, so he’d made the executive decision to unhook her from everything, pushing buttons at random until all of the noises stopped.
He’d gotten dirty looks through the little window into the room until he’d shut the blinds.

Summary
For all the jokes she’s made about Joel’s name twin, on the day Joel Hendrix is brought back beaten and bloody in a body bag, Ellie isn’t feeling very light-hearted.
Especially when the body is followed by his sobbing daughter, only a year older than Ellie herself. She keeps her eyes on Tanner as she staggers by, held up by Tommy, who was sent out on the rescue patrol to bring the Hendrixes back after they broke protocol and split from their group to go after an elk and then failed to check back in.
Apparently they found something significantly worse than a lucky hunt in the middle of winter.
(what if the fireflies killed the wrong joel?)

Summary
Since there is absolutely no closure to the ridiculous cliffhanger that was the end of book one and there will be no closure for almost a year I felt the need to write a fanfic, and damn it, it has to be smut. So much gods damn sexual tension. I don’t want to make any assumptions of what’s going to happen so this is a one shot for my dreams. I’m gonna say it is set (hopefully) after the events of the books.

Summary
Dean had held Cas’ face between his hands. There were a few times when Dean had looked at him, really looked at him, and realized the thing in front of him was holy, divine. Fucking sacred. Dean shouldn’t be touching it. But he was. Hell was yesterday’s news and Heaven was nothing for Dean to be concerned about. There was something sacred in his palms. In Dean Winchester’s palms.
or: Cas comes back, Jack is a kid (rightfully so) and they buy a cabin in Michigan.
