Summary
post-canon ellabs kinktober oneshot (blood play, biting)
In a rain-choked Washington safehouse, they burn through another night. Ellie calls it a fight. Abby doesn’t call it anything.
What begins as a sparring match collapses into a barter of teeth, blood, and touch—two survivors circling the same wound, both desperate for the only language they still trust.

Summary
The truth is, she isn’t sorry, and she doesn’t have to do this; she wants to. She could let it go and move on the way everyone else seems to be able to do, but her grip on revenge is sclerotic.
Or,
Ellie decides to get even but gets a girlfriend instead. (It's a Catalina Island healing story. There's PTSD. Food made from kelp. And a lot of overwhelming feelings).
if this is your first foray into Ellabs.... welcome baby I'll take good care of u

Hyacinth: a bulbous purple flower; historically offered to express sympathy, grief, sorrow or regret.
Ellie was beside herself. She was having one of her — what Abby had begrudgingly dubbed — ‘moments’.

Summary
They've lost their fathers, their lovers, their friends, themselves.
But they're still searching.
For hope. For peace. For something they can only get from each other.

Summary
She turns back around and picks up Abby’s hands to try and rub warmth back into them. She very pointedly does not acknowledge the pang in her chest, and how much it feels like when she found her, starved and tied to a post. Then, Joel’s lessons on survival ring in her brain.
Warm the body first. Losing a finger or two ain’t nothing compared to dying. Okay? Dry heat until they are no longer in danger, and then move ‘em to a warm bath if ya have one on hand.
Abby isn’t going to get warm enough like this. Lying stiff on the ground, her eyes close as she loses consciousness again. Ellie presses her fingers to her pulse. It’s too slow. She’s still too cold.
There was, another bit of advice that Joel gave.
Now Ellie, sometimes you’re not gonna have enough blankets to get ‘em warm. Or maybe they don’t have much time. If that’s the case, body heat works well.
Ellie closes her eyes and swallows.
If she was going to go to all of this trouble to save Abby in the first place, she can’t just stop at the finish line.

Summary
Ellie always found it hard to accept the present. It used to be easy, this thing called change; something that was everlasting, something she was incapable of.
Abby’s features had visibly matured over time. Her voice was deeper, her eyes wiser. Lev was an adult. Everything about him radiated a newfound confidence. There would always be that residual caution that left his expression rigid, but from all the death and adversity, emerged a young man.
Ellie was the only one left who was stuck in time; frail and scared, like a stray dog.
(Ellie has a happy ending that she can't accept.)

Summary
Long version of my short drabble about post-canon Ellabs finding each other again in a small forestside town; how they don't really know how to act around each other at first, being rougher with eachother than they should be; how they walk the fine line between comfort and aggression, until it blurs and they find what's beyond

Summary
"I remember you."
Ellie's head snaps up and over to where a girl's voice comes from, and she immediately regrets it when the world sways and her vision blurs.
"You're that girl from Jackson," the girl's bleary lips move, forming words that take Ellie a second to process. The name of Ellie's hometown back in Wyoming rings alarms in her head. How the fuck would anyone know that? She squints her eyes further, desperately trying to see who is chained up to the wall opposite from her. Is it one of Abby's friends? That's the only way someone would remember her.
When Ellie finally gets a good look at the girl's face, her heart pounds and her skin boils as white-hot rage floods through her body.
It's her.
"Abby." The name spills from Ellie's lips, sounding like a threat. She doesn't say her name with any ounce of uncertainty. She knows it's her. How could she ever forget that face? The face of Joel's killer that has haunted her nightmares for months.
(OR Ellie is captured by Scars on her third day in Seattle and thrown into the same cell as Abby.)

Summary
"There’s a horse, tied by his halter to the rails while a farrier works on his shoes, and Ellie watches him as she scrubs. He tosses his big head whenever the woman beside him moves too quickly, straining against the tether. Its shocking that it doesn’t break under the raw power of his movement, but the bonds stay strong, and no one is hurt.
And it's like something clicks into place."
Or:
Almost five years later, Abby and Lev end up back in Jackson, as the world begins to close in more and more. Their arrival comes as a shock, and not without opposition.

Summary
"Ellie had tried to imagine many times what her life might have been if she had been born pre-apocalypse, but knowing is different to dreaming.
It was nothing like she imagined, but she would have been happy. She was happy, and then she died. Ellie doesn't remember that part that well."

Reincarnation AU! Ellie remembers a past life, while shes holding Abby's head underwater, that stops her dead in her tracks
