    Summary

    You're less than enthusiastic when your uncle's partner Frank invites two strangers from the Boston QZ to your compound to trade.

    Summary

    astra inclinant, sed non obligant (the stars incline us, they do not bind us)

    . . .

    Of all the fights Joel has dragged his brother into, none of them have ever been worthy of Tommy’s loyalty, until this one.

    “You don’t know what she’s been through, Tommy. She’s just a kid. She needs—“

    To be held.

    To know that she deserves to live.

    To know that she’s setting the world right just by existing, just by breathing.

    Tommy finds the words he can’t. “She needs people to love her, a safe place to grow up and do some healin’. I reckon you, me, and Maria can give her that.”

    Or: the Part II where Ellie gets her chance at saving the world (or at least her little corner of it) and finds out just how loved she is along the way.

    Summary

    For a long minute, she stands in the hallway with her blanket wrapped around her and takes in the stillness of the house: the shadows pooling beneath the table and counters in the kitchen, the muted thumping of the wind against the siding, the low crackling of the logs in the woodstove. The open staircase in front of her yawns like the mouthpiece of some humongous beast. Joel’s breath is raspy, labored; the chill creeping in under the front door sinks its teeth into her feet. She could close her eyes, she thinks, and she’d be there-

    She shakes herself till her vision spins. She’s not there. Colorado and all the horrors she endured there are a thing of the past. She’s here, and she’s now. She’s in her home in Jackson and she’s safe, and Joel-

    He’ll be alright, she thinks. Her teeth are chattering. He’ll be okay. He has to be.

    *

    A blizzard hits Jackson, and Joel is sick.

    Summary

    Every word he spoke felt like carving a piece of himself out, handing it over, bit by bit, and he wondered if there’d be anything left of him when it was done. But it didn’t matter. It couldn’t matter. She was the only thing that did. She always had been.

     

    (Joel and Ellie deal with the complicated emotions from their fallout, things go very wrong as an old enemy arises and choices will be made...this action will have consequences)

    Summary

    In 2024, Joel Miller is a mean faced smuggler who's trying to keep a low profile in the Boston Quarantine Zone. But, when he owes someone some stuff he doesn't have he leans on an old friend for help. That friend introduces him to Rain. A melancholic and scrappy brown haired boy that has a flirtatious attitude that spells trouble, trouble that Joel finds himself hopelessly entranced by.

    EXCERPT:
    The man turned around and looked at the boy who was looking right back at him curiously.
    "Was he... you're uh... partner?" Joel mumbled, uncertain of what was standard procedure for such a thing. Rain threw his bed back together, it had clearly been very well utilized. Joel noticed a bottle of lube on the nightstand the second before Rain put it away in a drawer. He didn't mention it.
    "Huh? No, that's just Javi. We just mess around every once in a while, nothing official." Rain explained while he grabbed a shirt off the ground he'd ripped off in a hurry the night prior.
    Joel couldn't hold his tongue, "Do you usually mess around with guys old enough to be your father?"
    “Yeah, I do.”

    Summary

    When it comes to love, Lady Luck seems to have lost your address.

    After being left at the altar without so much of an explanation, you decided love is no longer something you are interested in.

    Not even meeting an unlucky-in-love-himself Mr. Grump could change your mind.

    Right?

    I keep hoping with the summaries. Have yet to succeed.
