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
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?

They continue on their journey before returning several months later, something having brought them back from their destination. Joel and Ellie move into the home across from you. You like Ellie, but worry about what happened on the trip that's made her so withdrawn. You like Joel as well, more than you probably should.

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
She doesn’t notice there are bruises on her legs until she changes out of her clothes in an abandoned motel bathroom one evening. She looks up at the ceiling to take a breath, then back down at herself.
She sees the areas indented by her nails; running her hands across the scars, she makes out a soft ‘t’.
(or, Ellie struggling with the concept of religion after David)

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.
