Summary
Tess is a powerful underworld figure, brokering information. When an internal threat has her questioning the loyalties of those closest, she must enlist the help of someone who has just as much to lose as she does. A bodyguard/boss AU set in the 1970s.
His fingertips brushed through the curtain of hair hanging to her waist. Dressing like a goddamn hippie with motivations that were resolutely square. A capitalist muckety-muck playing dress-ups with the beautiful people. Tess had some goddamn nerve and he wanted every last piece of her, Duke’s warnings be damned.
Because Duke was right – he’d never met anyone like her before. And maybe by getting a little closer he could unravel the enigma, because he’d meant what he’d told Duke – one woman was, essentially, the same as another. There were a finite number of parts people could play. And she was just playing one of them, concealing it a little better than most.
Tess whispered again in his ear: “You answer to me, now.”

Summary
We loved each other with fragments of ourselves that were dead - Nikita Gill
Love. Such a poignant emotion. Such a terrifying feeling to give into. One that is stored right in the precious cavity of the heart. A sentiment that can turn the toughest of people plush but can forge such an aggressive desire to protect. A dangerous intensity, even more so when you’re left to find it in the obsolete remains of what was once planet Earth.
Or
Joel finds himself catching feelings for an existing resident of Jackson. Ones he just can’t seem to ignore but it’s not all plain sailing as they navigate through one another’s trauma.

Summary
“And suddenly, life wasn’t about living. It’s was about not dying.”
In which Tommy Miller is separated from his young daughter during the world’s end. His only thoughts are of how he is going to find her, but his brother is insistent they head the other direction- with or without the girl.
In which Maria Allen has a deep hatred for the Fireflies, but she just can’t keep away from them. How does she manage to take on the responsibilities her father left her and a little girl whom her best friend found alone in an old office? And this girl just won’t shut up about her father.
*This is basically my take on the events before and during The Last of Us and during That Last of Us: Part II following Tommy, Maria, and their daughter. It has not been edited, but will be eventually.*

Summary
Joel sighs, runs his hand wearily over his face. “Baby,” he says, and despite herself, Ellie feels her shoulders relax at the nickname. “This - it’s a threat against all of us. It’s not something we can let lie.”
“I’m not telling you to just let it lie,” Ellie retorts. “Just- why does it have to be you?”
Joel looks away, shifts on his feet. “Ellie,” he says, and the timbre of his voice rakes a claw down her spine. “You know why.”
She does, and that’s the thing- she’s not sure she’s worth it, this kind of love that goes blind with rage in the face of threats, the kind of love that drives people out of their homes and into the night and away from their families. The kind of love that demands sacrifice. It sits uneasily beneath her skin, like an electric current.
*
Jackson is threatened - and Ellie steps up.

Summary
Ophelia felt her life started not when she was born, but when her little sister was. As the baby took her first breath, the older felt like air was filling her lungs for the first time as well.
Everything was falling apart, she was losing everything she had — and she never really had anything to begin with — but it all palled at the newfound sense of purpose her sister gave her. She never really had anything to begin with, but she would give the little girl whatever she could from the shambles of that destroyed world, a world that she never got to know, a world that was never hers, but one she was willing to pick up the pieces if it was for her sister.
She was going to put in the effort no one put in for her, she was going to fight like no one ever fought for her. It was all for her.
And by trying to create and nourish something good for the child, in Jackson, she found something good for herself too, with the name of Joel Miller -

Summary
So this is literally me posting all my predictions for season 2 as I come up with them.
Spoilers for Part II cuz some of my theories are based off game themes.
Although I’m not a writer by any means, I do work in the film industry so some of this is probably my production brain running a bit wild.
I really just need a place to post these and would die for some feedback and others predictions! -

Summary
“Well, if you’re that concerned, I’ll be your date,” she tells him, finishing her own beer and setting her bottle down on the table. Joel splutters, choking on his drink, and swipes the back of his hand over his damp mouth.
“Tessa…” he starts, and Tess waves his words away.
“I’m a model fuckin’ date,” she says, and Joel pinches the skin between his eyebrows. “Plus your mom already loves me.”

Summary
“What do you do?” Bill asked, curious to learn more about this man who seemed so different from himself.
“I’m an artist.”
“What, like with paint and shit?”
Bill was sometimes proud of how badly he could put his foot in it.
Frank just laughed. “Less of the latter and more of the former, but yes, exactly.”
--
What if the apocalypse never happened? What if Bill and Frank had just met?

Summary
As the (alleged) daughter of the new president, Ellie Wiliams is hellbent on making herself as much of a nuisance as possible. Joel Miller, the virtually unreadable and perpetually grumpy bodyguard assigned to watch her for eighteen hours a day, certainly thinks she's doing a good job of it. But as Ellie processes losses of her past and present, she slowly begins to realise just how valuable it can be to have someone watching your back.
(Angst/eventual fluff found family Joel & Ellie AU, slow-burn father-daughter relationship.)

Summary
Ellie had imagined this day a million times. It was always coming, she just didn’t think it would be this soon. It had been less than a year since the incident in Salt Lake City. She’d told them that if they found a way to extract what they needed for the vaccine without killing her, she’d be all theirs. Now, it seems it’s time for her to make good on her promise.
Sure, they could’ve simply given up on finding a different solution. They could be here to attempt to take her against her will and perform the original surgery, but she doubts it. For Marlene to walk into Jackson with only ten men behind her, out-gunned and vulnerable, would be incredibly stupid. Not to mention, she knows Joel’s been waiting, practically praying, for the opportunity to take her out.
OR
Marlene has supposedly found a different way to make the vaccine, Joel doesn't trust a word that comes out of her mouth, Ellie just wants everybody to calm the fuck down, and Tommy's just happy to be there.

Minnesota Not So Nice by SvenskaChica

Summary
The Miller brothers move to Minnesota so Sarah can reconnect with her mother. Their southern charm is a sharp contrast to the steely passive-aggressiveness that permeates “The Land of 10,000 Lakes,” and they stick out like sore thumbs. You and your coworker Maria meet them, and sparks fly, warming the bitter cold Minnesota winter nights.
Notes: Reader is a 35 year-old self-identified tomboy, and is short (5’ 3”), otherwise no physical description. Joel is 40, Tommy is 36.
AU, not even close to cannon-compliant. I’m like Judy Blume with the timeline - I “Superfudge” it.
Please feel free to interact!

Summary
Now that Ellie’s alone, she just sits on her bed and looks at her book. She can’t call it reading anymore – by now she has read the thing front to back so many times that she could quote some paragraphs word for word.
That’s why it’s weird that it took her so long to notice the message written on the front page.
There, nestled just below the title, there’s one line of writing addressed to her. It doesn’t mention any names, but it is for her. It can’t be otherwise.
It’s not Tommy’s handwriting, nor Maria's, nor Riley's.But it’s somebody’s. Somebody who knew she’d like to read about Moon landing, spaceships, and astronauts. Somebody who cared enough to take this book, fix the hardcover with some scotch tape, and give it to her. Somebody who wrote those words on the front page knowing that they would make her smile.
Somebody who loved her.
It’s late spring 2024 when Ellie wakes up in Jackson. She has a backpack full of books, a burn on her arm, and no memory of how she went from Boston QZ to Wyoming.

Summary
Joel doesn’t remember anything beyond the outpost.
All he knows is that he was there, he lost consciousness and then he was all the way back in 2010. He woke up to his old, shitty apartment in Boston and the overwhelming feeling that he'd lost something.
Ellie. All those years leading up to and after finding her. Seemingly erased. Or yet to happen.
He doesn’t know how.
But he knows he has to find her.
OR
Joel is somehow transported into the past, well before any of the events of the Last of Us Season One take place. Armed with the knowledge of everything that happened the first time around, he makes it his mission to find four year old Ellie, reunite his family and find a safe place for them in the Wyoming wilderness. Once he establishes himself as Jackson's leader, he gets to work giving Ellie the childhood and the family she deserves.

Summary
[Part III to The End Never Met]
Life seems to have gone mostly back to normal in Jackson, and Ellie is finally able to move on and focus on her and Dina’s future.
Joel is struggling with letting her leave the nest, but is trying to support her decision and is keen on giving her a few last fond memories before she moves out to the farmhouse. Distracted with all this, Joel’s focus might be just a bit too narrow to realise there are other people in his life to look out for.
Meanwhile, Tommy and Maria are preparing for the next chapter of their life as soon-to-be parents, Mel is finally able to move past Owen, and Abby finds herself spending way too much time in the company of Marauders. Jesse isn’t quite sure, but is Fenton Warren flirting with him? Otto has a new arch nemesis and Janet might just be in a little over her head. But hey, at least Bill gets a nice retirement plan after he decks Otis fucking Meyer.
(This is the final part to the trilogy, slower paced and far more domestic, Even When The Leaves Fall will hopefully paint a picture of our much loved Jackson families!)

Summary
Bringing Bridgeton to Last of Us to you guys! An alternate universe where Ellie, Dina and Jesse are all royalty, but still in the mix of some love triangle. No one dies... well almost no one dies and the frustrations are vividly and probably relatable-ly (is that even a word) shown between Ellie and Dina. Jesse still lures for Dina, hoping to make her his queen. Oops did I give much away?

Summary
A scream erupted from her throat when her right arm accidentally brushed against the floor. All she wanted was for it to be over. It was too much and the pills weren’t kicking in fast enough.
Basically, Ellie and her chemical burn. Cue in baffled Tommy and panicky Joel.
