Summary
After a lifetime in the big city and a brutal break up, you decided it was time for a change. Austin was everything you expected it to be; quiet, warm, and totally different from the fast paced environment you were used to, but what you hadn’t expected was the particularly handsome stranger that lived across the street to catch you in a compromising position. Although you had hoped to put the experience behind you, the spark between the two of you was hard to ignore, especially when his two teenage daughters quickly became regular guests in your home. After years of heartache, will you be able to keep a kind and devoted man like Joel Miller at arm’s length?

Oh, My Darling Clementine by ladystardust443

Summary
When Joel finds Clementine half-frozen in the snow, he has no idea how her presence—and her story—will reshape his world. Songfic and switching perspectives.
_____"I'm not," I answer, more firmly than I feel. "She’s just a kid. I’m not stupid enough to—" I stop myself before the sentence gets too far.
Maria holds my gaze for a beat as if measuring my sincerity. "Good. 'Cause this place doesn’t need another complication."
I nod, not trusting myself to say anything else. She’s right, of course. I’ve seen it all before too—how easy it is for something to slip out of control when you start caring. And I don’t need that now. Not now.

Summary
“Apparently, soul marks are a big deal in FEDRA. You’re supposed to keep them always covered, never disclose your Names. They think it could create unnecessary camaraderie between the ranks, alliances they couldn’t control.”
“Fucking fanatics,” Joel mutters, and Tess snorts her agreement.
“Gets worse. That asshole told me it’s even more of a problem when there’s kids involved. FEDRA worries somebody could pick a fight with them, steal away one of their precious free resources. Or that the kids could grow and run – try to find whoever’s on their arms.”
Joel frowns. “So? Tell’em to cover their Names too?”
“Not really,” Tess says, finally turning to look straight at Joel. “With FEDRA kids, they erase them.”Soulmate AU. Everyone is born with their soulmates’ Names written on their skin. Joel meets his third when he’s fifty-six, and he’s tasked to smuggle her outside Boston’s QZ. This can’t possibly end well.

Summary
And though he is freezing, and though there are a million and one things that could kill him as he makes his way down into the valley, there’s an inexplicable sense of peace in Tommy’s isolation. When he tromps through frozen larkspur meadows and runs his hand along rough gray limestone peaks, there’s nothing—no one—dragging him towards the pieces of his soul that hunt and torture and kill. He was always the kind of man who believed in fate; up here, Tommy feels closer to the soft hands of destiny than he ever has.

Summary
She doesn’t want to be read for the truth of what she is, what she’s become. Lonely, isolated, a girl who watches TV with the old dude who dragged her ass across the country and then doubled back when there wasn’t anything left for them to find. She’s not meant to be here. Not in Jackson, not in this house, not beside this version of Joel.
She’s a fucking orphan from Boston who’s got the weight of humanity slipped beneath the skin of her forearm, a couple calluses on the tips of her fingers, and a brain that still goes fuzzy at the slightest prodding of any of the pieces of her past that have delivered her to where she is today.
Joel’s shoulder is not for her to lean against. Those kids in her classroom are not for her to bond with. This is a fake life that she’s begun to settle around herself and the only thing that’s less real are the movies that play out on the screen in front of her, filled with animatronic dinosaurs and intricately painted backgrounds of spaceships.
or: Ellie doesn't quite know how to settle into Jackson, friendships, or a family.

Summary
She must fall asleep because the next thing she knows, Joel is tucking her in. With sleep so welcoming and comfortable, there’s no reason to open her eyes. Normally, he just tucks her in and says good night. Sometimes, when she’s almost asleep, he’ll say “G’night, baby girl” and kiss her head. It’s the only time he calls her that, and as much as she’ll never admit it, it makes her feel special. Wanted.

Summary
It never bothered her when he took care of her on the road because they both knew he held her life in his hands every day; it really was do or die. But she didn’t know if she expected it to continue in Jackson, if she could expect anything at all. She’d hoped, maybe—in secret, the way she treasured the times he pulled on her ponytail or teased her or let her fall asleep on his shoulder while they watched their DVDs—but knew it wasn’t deserved or even necessary.
Love had never been necessary. It was a luxury that some people had, if they were lucky, but you didn’t need it. And so even when she got something from him that seemed like love it still felt like too much, it didn’t fit, and she didn’t know whether to embrace it or push it away.

Summary
Joel knows they’ve had a rough few months together since returning to Jackson after the debacle at the hospital. There was that period after they came back that he doesn’t like to remember because he’s still ashamed of himself for it.
But...she was willing to give him another chance. Eventually. He talked, she listened, she...forgave, if not forgot.
He knows that their peace is tentative and he doesn’t want to do anything to shatter that. But. She is still cautious with him and it’s breaking his heart. He wants to do something, anything to bridge the gap between them.
