    Summary

    After watching Youngmi's life slip away before her eyes, Hyunju was certain it was all over—the hope she'd desperately held onto died along with her closest friend. Survival felt impossible to her now.

    But then, in the midst of the game's chaos, she meets Player 246 again. Same game, different room.

    What she didn't expect was the bond they'd form—one that would pull her closer to him than she ever thought possible, even as she promised herself not to ever grow attached to anyone ever again.

    Summary

    A foster AU because I’m such a sucker for those and I want to believe Ellie and Joel would have found each other in a non-apocalyptic world, just in a slightly different setting.

    Written from both POVs and maybe from Tommy’s too, somewhere down the line.

     

    Intro

    Joel Miller’s routine hasn‘t changed greatly in four years.

    He goes to work, mostly overseeing construction, he goes home and eats something microwavable, drinks a few cans of cheap beer and falls into bed half drunk and exhausted from a days work, desperate to feel as little as possible.
    Then, most nights, the nightmares he tries to chase away with alcohol succeed in waking him anyway, so he takes some sleeping pills to fall into dull, dreamless darkness, only to be woken by the sound of his alarm.

    So, really, he could use a change.

    He still fights it like a feral cat.

    Summary

    “I’m still getting used to that.” Ellie tells him. “Someone caring where I am all the time.”

    Joel chooses his words very carefully. “It’s my job. I quite like it, if I’m honest. ”

    She smiles, a little wry, expression molding into something awkward to hide the tremble of her lip. “Interesting take considering I’m the government equivalent of a last draft pick.”

    He hums in acknowledgement. “But you’ll always be my first round pick. That’s what counts.”

    or;

    It's been twenty years since Sarah died and he fell apart. It's been fifteen years since Tommy couldn't take the heartbreak of helping someone who didn't want to be helped and left without looking back. And it's been ten years since Joel's started to rebuild.

    It's day one of fostering Ellie Williams.
