Summary
Winnie used to know what she was doing - at least, she thought so anyway. When the life she thought she wanted falls apart in the 'Big City', she moves home with her father to give herself a second chance to pretend like she wasn't falling apart at the seams.
Pretending was her favorite pastime, if her small town gossip was to be believed. She also kept trying to pretend like her father's new friend and new neighbor, Joel Miller, wasn't the absolute distraction that he was. If she kept telling herself that his Texas drawl was just annoying, she could ignore him. . . right?

Summary
Alone and forsaken, Joel Miller hides himself away at the end of the world. After losing Sarah he was a shell of a man, trying to drown her memory in the blood of any soul that dared to cross his path. No matter what he did, Sarah haunted him. Then came Ellie, the girl he had been through hell with. Joel felt his chest crack open for her and from then on he decided that wherever Ellie went, he would be there. The Fireflies had other ideas. Joel had fought hard, he had torn through that hospital slaughtering anyone that he came across but he was too late. After practically burning down all of Salt Lake City, Joel banishes himself to a cabin in the middle of the woods. Resigned to his fate, his self imposed exile is interrupted when he finds you. Broken, starving, and on the brink of freezing to death, Joel has no choice but to let you into his life. With the winter winds in Montana being particularly piercing this season, he is forced to wait until the spring thaws the ground so that he can dump you on Tommy’s doorstep in Wyoming. Can he keep you at arm’s length until then?

Summary
“So, were you good?”
“At?” He didn’t bother turning around.
“Building, making houses,” She listed off, kicking another rock. She could hear him mutter her name under his breath. “Working with your hands, that sort of thing.”
Joel tensed, slowly tilting his head to the side and exposing his neck. He shook his head to himself slightly, as if he was trying to get rid of the thoughts hidden in his mind. He cleared his throat, slowly nodding.
“Yeah, I was good with my hands.” He turned to her, showing his hands, large and tan, easily able to swallow her own hands with his own. He extended them slowly, stretching them before balling them into fists, then stretching them out again. “Not all of these scars are from infected, most are from tools, mistakes on the job-” He paused, his eyes darting down at her as her soft, small hands, traced the scars over his hands. He hadn’t been touched in so long, let alone this gently.

Summary
Jolene Williams, born in 1990, was only thirteen when the world ended, and her life with it. Until, 2009, when it began again with the birth of Ellie Williams.
Attacked while giving birth, Ellie and Jolene appear immune to the fungal virus ripping their lives apart. Attempting to live a normal life in the QZ, until Ellie gets bit and Jolene decides to get her out of the city, the pair meet Joel Miller.
In other words, how would the story of the last of us change, if Ellie's mother never left her side.

Summary
**UPDATE: Hi guys, I know it's been a while since I've posted. There's been some big things happening in my life and I haven't had the time or energy to sit down and write. Since it's October, I'm going to be putting out some new stuff! Hoping to get back to this soon :)
Faye Azar is trying to settle into life in Jackson. She's contributing to the community, meeting new people, and most importantly, teaching. When Faye convinces some older kids to come to her class a few times a week, she feels like she's finally found her stride. But the father (or guardian? she's not sure) of one of her students - Ellie - threatens to shatter the illusion she's been able to sell to everyone else in Jackson. Joel is grumpy and withdrawn, she has no reason to talk to him. But still, something about the way he looks at her makes her feel like he can see every part of her, even the ugly bits she's worked so hard to hide away. As her and Joel seem to be crossing paths more and more, she feels tempted to give into the urge to open herself up to someone. But the world is dangerous, and so are people. What if he doesn't like what he finds in her, and what will she find behind the walls that the man has built so high around himself?Bookmarked by beffsmck

The man who left her behind. The man she used to love.
She’s not here for revenge. She’s not here for him. But some ghosts don’t stay buried—and neither do the feelings. And in a town built on second chances, Ella isn’t sure she wants forgiveness.
Especially from the man who broke her.

Summary
The world ended, but people didn’t. Not entirely.
Twenty years after the outbreak, survival has become second nature. But when Althea agrees to help smuggle a girl across the country, everything shifts. There’s Joel: quiet, brutal, impossible. The gruff, closed-off man with blood on his hands and grief in his bones. There’s Ellie: foul-mouthed and sharp-eyed, with too much riding on her small shoulders. And there’s Althea, stuck somewhere between running from her past and crashing headfirst into a future she never dared to want.
Love isn’t safe. Hope isn’t smart. But some things are worth the risk.
Because in the end, it’s not about what you’ve lost,
but what you’re willing to fight for,
even when the world seems beyond saving.- Language:

Summary
Since the cordyceps outbreak, omegas have become extremely rare. It was well known that pretty much every unmated omega had died in the outbreak. They were too small, too weak, too vulnerable to fight against infected and survive without an alpha's protection.
Joel had never found his omega. He hadn't bonded with Sarah's mother, a beta, and he didn't find anyone before the outbreak. After losing Sarah, he's closed off most of his alpha instincts, only leaning into his dominant traits needed to survive.
He and Ellie are a few hours hike from Jackson when they decide to stay the night in a cabin. Joel opens the door and is hit with a wall of scent, the unmistakable scent of an unmated omega on the verge of a heat.
aka Joel meets an omega, Addie, who has remained unmated through the protection of her family but is now on her own. He sees her through her heat but doesn't claim her, refusing to do that without her explicit consent. They travel back to Jackson and navigate life with an unmated omega in a world dominated by lone alphas. Prepare for smut, angst, hurt/comfort, and Joel being bad at feelings.
