    Summary

    Tommy looks thoroughly overwhelmed, and Ellie tries not to let the dread that’s fighting to crawl up her throat overtake her. Nothing's wrong. It’s just like she said: he’s disappointed she’s not what he expected. He probably thought Marlene would give them a pretty girl, sweet and meek, with perfect blonde hair and a mouth full of straight white teeth. But Ellie will prove to him that she’s worth ten of those pretty blonde girls, she’s got determination and grit. She’s exactly what they need on their ranch.

    Mr. Miller rolls his eyes skyward, his brows pinched, looking almost as if he’s in pain. But then he sighs, lets out a slow, resigned breath as he looks back to her, and extends a hand away from the station.

    “You best come along,” he drawls softly and starts down the stairs.

    Ellie smiles and follows obediently. She will prove her worth to the brothers, and she’ll finally find a place where she belongs.

    IE: Ellie is being fostered by the Miller brothers at their ranch, but she isn't what they were expecting. This is a found family fic based on the worlds of Anne of Green Gables and The Last of Us.

    This is a very well done au. In this one, Ellie is a blend of herself and Anne.
    Tommy and Joel are not uncle and dad. They're spoilers!
    Enjoy if you decide to read

    Summary

    Ellie likes to say that she pulled a Joel by going out and getting herself a feral child of her own. Not unlike him, it was supposed to be temporary until it wasn’t.

    Just as she chose Joel all those years ago, Astra chose her in all the wisdom an almost six-year-old could muster. And it’s not something Ellie ever wants to take lightly. The trust that comes with it. The devotion. The honor of being that choice.

    Even if it fucking terrifies her.

    Summary

    Without a second thought, he'd wrapped his coat around the girl's shoulders and led her upstairs to the car. He sat her in the passenger seat and cranked the heater before radioing the station. She didn't say a word on the drive. When they'd gotten back to his office, Joel wasn't even sure she was listening to his questions. "Where do you live?," he asked. "Nowhere," she said. After maybe an hour of dodging questions, she left.

    "If I'm not under arrest, then I can leave."

    Joel couldn't argue with the facts. He saw her buying a soda at the vending machine on her way out.

    Summary

    She picks up the keychain. It only has one key on it, and it’s a boring keychain, just one of those stretchy plastic bracelet ones that look like hair ties.

    But it’s still a house key.

    “You’ve known me for less than eighteen hours.”

    “Highlight of my life,” Joel mutters.

    Or: Another foster kid au!
