Summary
Ten years after his daughter's death, country legend Joel Miller still performs for sold-out crowds... but he hasn't written a song since.
Valerie Rhodes can't seem to stop writing them. She's younger, brighter, irritatingly talented and, according to Joel, exactly the kind of artist he has no business sharing a stage with. What he doesn't know is that the sunshine comes with shadows of its own; Valerie has spent years getting very good at smiling through things she'd rather nobody see.
Unfortunately for both of them, their label thinks they're exactly what the other needs. A four-month stadium tour was supposed to revive Joel's career and cement Valerie's. Nobody planned for the viral duet. Or the late-night writing sessions. Or the way Joel starts looking at her when she sings. And Valerie definitely didn't plan on discovering that the teenage crush she'd once had on Joel Miller is considerably harder to manage when he's standing three feet away.
Especially when he starts looking back.

Summary
"If I cannot love you openly like I wish, if I cannot hold your hand when walking or wrap you in my arms late at night... Then I will love you silently, in my mind and behind closed eyes. For there, there is no rejection or heartbreak. And surely it is better to love silently than to not love at all?"
Joel Miller was supposed to be untouchable. He’s your father’s best friend after all, a constant fixture in your life, and the man whose daughter you happily babysit.
But when your father tries to play matchmaker between you and Joel’s oldest son, the carefully constructed boundaries between you and Joel begin to fracture. The sudden, suffocating wave of Joel's jealousy changes everything, sparking a dangerous, intoxicating shift in the way he looks at you, touches you, and breathes your name.
Suddenly, the unspoken truth is too loud to ignore. But in a world where every boundary is being pushed to its limit, can a love born in the shadows survive the light?
‘Isn’t it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string tying you to me?’
‘I love you. Even if the Fates unraveled our destiny, I would still find my way back to you.’

A Summer With Mr. Miller by followyourfleart
Fandoms: The Last of Us (TV), The Last of Us (Video Games)
04 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
Joel Miller’s life has turned to ash—he's a year in a life after a ruined marriage, long work days at the fire station, and a four-year-old daughter who deserves better. He swears he doesn’t need help, but everyone else knows he’s drowning. Especially his brother and best friend.
You—a teacher on summer break, broke, stubborn, and desperate enough to take anything. When Tommy recommends you a job, you figure it’s just another way to pay the bills. What you don’t expect is Joel—the same man who made your heart beat a million times faster. The same man who gave you everything, then left you with nothing.
For him, you’re supposed to be the babysitter he happens to know. For you, he’s supposed to be just a paycheck with complicated feelings. But old hurts tangle with new sparks every time he looks at you. This feels dangerous, because it won’t just be your summer that burns.

Summary
When your high-powered marketing career goes up in flames, you find yourself back in Texas and out of options—until your old childhood best friend Tommy Miller offers you a job at his family’s growing construction company. The only catch? His older brother Joel, the project manager with a chip on his shoulder and zero patience for your city-slicker attitude.
You clash instantly: you’re clever, confident, and painfully corporate. He’s quiet, rugged, and set in his ways. You push his buttons. He pushes back harder. But somewhere between long meetings, late nights, resurfacing memories, hurt, along with one very unexpected work trip… the tension starts to shift.
What begins as bickering turns into banter. Glances linger. Walls crack. And neither of you is quite sure when things started to change.

Summary
You’ve spent years running from the Guild. Never staying in one place. Never trusting anyone. Never letting yourself hope.
Being captured by a Mandalorian should’ve been the end of your story.
Instead, you find yourself walking beside a warrior who hides his face from the galaxy, yet somehow sees you more clearly than anyone ever has. Accompanied by a child whose warmth awakens memories you'd rather leave behind.
But when old secrets resurface, and an ancient song calls your name, you're forced to choose what you're willing to become to ensure your survival… and the ones you’d give it all to protect.
Some paths lead home.
Others are swallowed by darkness.

Summary
Languishing in a dull and lonely existence on the forest moon of Endor after travelling there to help salvage Death Star wreckage, a nearly fatal encounter with a mysterious bounty hunter out in the forest heralds an opportunity to utilise long-forgotten skills and develop something more profound than you ever thought possible.
Second person POV, present tense. Set after season 2, diverges from Canon events before TBoBF and season 3. This is a novel-length, exceptionally slow burn with an original plot, worldbuilding, and fully developed characterisation. SWU concepts and lore are accurately researched.

Summary
You spent your entire adult life supporting yourself and barely getting by. It’s why a life of ease offered to you by a mysterious stranger sounded so foreign and unbelievable. Joel Miller, dressed in flannels that had seen better days, didn’t look like the kind who could promise you the world on a plate, but he seemed desperate to help out. All he asks is that you let him take care of you.
That wouldn’t be so hard. Would it?

Summary
“So how were you thinking of doing it?”
You wonder if he was sweating under all those layers as you allowed yourself the indulgence of really taking him in. He wears heavy black fabric under all of his armor. You wore light and flowy dresses and you always felt like it was too hot. You also wonder if he purposefully makes his voice lower, he must scream into a pillow or something to make it that raspy. You didn’t like how warm it suddenly got in here.
“Well I can’t just tell you my top secret plans, what will you give me in exchange?” You hated the way his helmet tilted to the side to mimic you.
“How about a walk through the gardens?”

Summary
The Mandalorian had no way of knowing that when he accepted that fateful bounty, his life would change forever. Realistically, with her tender heart, soft hands, and gentle words - he was a goner before he even knew the Medics' name.
Surely, it couldn't be a coincidence that their fates seemed to be intertwined, the galaxy forcing them together in a constant orbit.
Before it tore them apart, again.
