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
There were times when the world seemed to be a ghastly place with horrors lurking around every corner and yet, within the very same breath it could also be a beautiful phenomenon. Set nine years after the events that took place in Seattle, Joel found himself resonating more with the latter in recent times… More than content with what he had built for himself in the later part of his life; a home that was safe, a wife that he loved, a kid he adored and Ellie of course…
Still, life was but a delicate concept. Something so fragile and easy to lose as a mortal sentient being. He’d learned to navigate and survive what he once deemed to be the end of the world with precision and expertise but what should happen when fate has him losing all control over the situation? When the powers above decide to try and rip the centre of his universe away from him? Can he save her or will he be forced to watch her fade away?
Or
Joel survives Abby’s brutal assault and continues living a life in Jackson with the family he’s created. His world is tipped upside down when his wife is diagnosed with a fatal illness that Jackson is not equipped to deal with. Can he save her?

Summary
Red eyed and dewy she nodded. Unable to get enough air into her lungs to form a verbal response.
"All mine. Always gon' be mine... bet fuckin' Burns didn't love you like this..."
"N-n-no...j-just you. Only you."
Her cock drunk words doing everything to inflate his ego. A prideful smirk tugging to his lips as he continued his ruthless pace, the clench of her tight walls pulling him right into her over and over, "He didn't deserve you. Never fuckin' deserved you... Always meant to be my girl, my wife..."
What’s worse than being forced to spend a week away from his wife? Having to spend that week with her sour ex….

Don’t Let Go: Caught In The Act by Mr_Potato_25

Summary
All Joel really wants is to just get laid in peace. He learns very quickly that there is no privacy in a place like Jackson, where his family is determined to try and live in his goddamn pocket. Or 3 occasions that him and Ava get caught in the act:
1. Ellie learns the hard way about the importance of knocking:
“Yeah and you n’ me both know that you never come straight home…” Joel counteracted, remembering he still had a card to play that could potentially somewhat dig himself out of this hole.
“Yeah well the fucking heat was making my arm itch like crazy… All I wanted was a shower but nooo, instead I had to witness you balls deep inside your girlfriend!”
2. The toddler’s fast asleep in the room next door, right? WRONG!
Frustrated with the sheer stupidity of her parents and their perseverance in keeping this new pet hidden from her, Lily folded her arms abruptly across her chest, “But Daddy said!”
The mothers face dropped, “Daddy said what?”
With her little lip wobbling, she wiped the back of her hand across her tearless eyes, “Daddy said last night that-that your pussy cat was soft and perfect and-and I just want to pet the pussy cat…”

Summary
The uncomfortable atmosphere that he left behind in the room down the hall suddenly following him, all thick and suffocating. So many things left unsaid between them. Seventeen years of being inseparable followed by five apart that changed his outlook on life without her. The confession rattled through his voice as it began spilling from his lips, "I-I did..."
Tess arched a brow, "Did what?"
Joel scratched his nails through the overgrown stubble, dragging them awkwardly down his neck before allowing his palm to fall defeated onto his lap, "I did, well...Y'know... I..." A frustrated huff forced out before attempting again, "I did lo-"
"No. Stop." It was blunt and sharp the way in which she stopped him, a hand raised. "Don't say it."
