Her mouth twists. “Do you think Tommy finds it weird that I’m living with you?”

Summary
Ellie stared up at Joel after he opened the door. “Ellie,” He realized, reclaiming his annoyed face. “Can I help you with somethin’?”
Ellie shoved out a large sigh, her lunch tray still clutched between her hands. “Can I eat lunch in here?” She finally pushed aside her dignity and managed to grit the question out.
Joel brushed his thumb over the wood of the doorframe. “Don’t you got any friends to eat with?” He replied, immediately guilty when Ellie glared up at him as an answer. “Alright,” He sighed then, and made space in the doorframe for her to slip inside.
Ellie picked the desk closest to Joel’s, despite the completely empty classroom. He wished that it annoyed him, but it didn't. She could never know that, though, so he put a pout on his face, and grumbled at every pun that filled the next hour.
TLDR// Teacher AU!!!

Summary
Your stomach turns as you watch the soldier steel himself, rifle raised.
“We’re not sick!” The civilian’s voice breaks, desperate. The shot goes off before you even think—aiming for the shoulder, but hitting the neck instead. The soldier’s rifle jerks, shots spraying wild. You fire again. This time, your bullet finds the back of his head.
Silence drops, heavy and suffocating, swallowing the echoes of gunfire.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're just trying to make it through the end the world by yourself, but you keep running into the Millers.

Summary
Without thinking, Joel slipped off his jacket. He folded it into a makeshift pillow, leaned down, and gently lifted her head to slide it underneath.
The moment her head settled into his hand, she leaned into his touch, her body instinctively seeking the warmth. Joel froze. His breath caught in his throat. The realization of what he was doing hit him hard.
‘What the hell are you doing?’ his mind whispered.
He pulled his hand back quickly, almost flinching at the tenderness that had overtaken him.He hadn’t let himself care in years. Caring meant hurting. Caring meant losing. And Joel had already lost everything.
Ellie shifted in her sleep, mumbling something incoherent, and Joel found himself glancing at her again. He clenched his teeth, trying to ignore the warmth that still lingered on his hand where her head had rested.
But no matter how hard he tried, the ache in his chest wouldn’t didn’t go away.
OR: Joel is a FEDRA officer and meets a 8-year-old Ellie in FEDRA school.

Summary
Maeve Greene has long known what it took to survive. She had no family, her former group left her in Boston thirteen years ago, without even a goodbye. She learned to rely on no one but herself. Becoming known for stealing and creating devices that made things go boom, people started to pay attention to her in the Boston QZ. So when she angers the wrong kind of people for the last time and finds herself locked in a cell with an infected girl meant to cure the world… she is already planning what comes next.
Which is not Joel Miller. The grumpy smuggler, he was known for being violent, vicious and ruthless. But Marlene ordered death upon her head, forcing her out of Boston and her only way out without death was to leave with Joel and help deliver a fourteen-year-old Ellie to the fireflies doorstep.
What could go wrong.
PSA: This is based mostly on the HBO version of The Last of Us with some aspects of the game. I will most likely continue once season 2 comes out, but that doesn't mean there won't be non-cannon events because I do deviate from the show a little and will add aspects for the character.

Summary
Twenty-one years after the outbreak, you come to Wyoming looking for something and end up in Jackson after a stranger saves your life.
But he doesn't stay a stranger.
Turns out Joel Miller is looking for something too. It feels like a fresh start. But when bad luck seems to follow you, Joel is the only one to turn to, forcing both of you to confront your feelings about your pasts- and each other.
***
“You're not going anywhere else by the looks of it, either,” the man with the gloves muttered, more than loud enough for you to hear. “You won't last a week.”
“I've lasted longer, asshole,” you shot back, suddenly angry at the stranger in front of you. He didn't know you, he didn't know the things you'd gone through to get here. So what if he had saved your life? It didn't give him the right to predict your death.Series

Summary
A foster AU because I’m such a sucker for those and I want to believe Ellie and Joel would have found each other in a non-apocalyptic world, just in a slightly different setting.
Written from both POVs and maybe from Tommy’s too, somewhere down the line.
Intro
Joel Miller’s routine hasn‘t changed greatly in four years.
He goes to work, mostly overseeing construction, he goes home and eats something microwavable, drinks a few cans of cheap beer and falls into bed half drunk and exhausted from a days work, desperate to feel as little as possible.
Then, most nights, the nightmares he tries to chase away with alcohol succeed in waking him anyway, so he takes some sleeping pills to fall into dull, dreamless darkness, only to be woken by the sound of his alarm.So, really, he could use a change.
He still fights it like a feral cat.

Summary
*TLOU AU - No Cordyceps Outbreak*
You’re not sure when it happened, exactly. The moment when you began to see Joel Miller as more than just your neighbor. More than just your dad’s friend. More than just the surly, sawdust-covered parental figure he’d always seemed to be.
You suppose you can’t actually pin it down to one specific moment. It was more of a...culmination of events.

Summary
Returning home after graduation, you expect life to fall back into its usual rhythm—quiet nights with your dad, maybe picking up a summer job at his firm, and the nagging question of what comes next. The summer is hot and slow, and you end up taking on another job, babysitting your neighbor’s daughter.
Joel, a man worn down by years of hard work and bound by loyalty as your father's best friend. But something between you two has shifted—a tension that neither of you can explain or ignore. Yet, as the summer unfolds and secrets linger in the spaces between you two, the boundaries held firm for so long begin to blur.
