(If you expect that, don't even bother reading this book unless you are fine with reading something that ISN'T romantic). They have a sisterly bond and nothing more! Thank you and enjoy reading 👍

-Set during the time frame of The Last of Us 2 but without any spoilers!- You always thought the day your mom was infected would be the hardest day of your life. Never would you have imagined that you'd end up alone in the world. Wandering, surviving. You never stuck around anywhere long, you never joined any groups, never had a reason too. But here in Jackson, things were different and you might just stick around for some reason, or someone. #1 in Ellie Williams on 3.1.2021 !! Thank you all! Completed: 4.3.21 Words: 34,495

In September 2013, an outbreak of a mutant Cordyceps fungus ravages the United States, transforming its human hosts into aggressive creatures known as the Infected. 20 years later, Joel, his wife (y/n) and Tess are tasked to smuggle a teenage girl, Ellie, who is somehow immune to the infection.

Ellie found traveling with Joel to be both rewarding and simultaneously frustrating. It was like talking to a cold, emotionless brick wall sometimes. So imagine her excitement when they run into another group of travelers heading in the same direction, and they agree to travel with Ellie and Joel. The most exciting part? The other group has a girl their age. This is essentially a Ellie/Reader slow-burn fanfiction. It's also a fix-it fic in regards to the Last of Us Part 2 because I have personal issues with it. Will involve spoilers for both games, but this is mostly a self-indulgent fic. The reader is unnamed and has no descriptors so pretty much anyone can be the reader. The reader has established parents that are involved in the plot.

As Joel and Tommy seek shelter from a blizzard, they end up in your area. Not thrilled, but neither hateful towards them, you allow the two strangers to stay. By a twisted joke of fate, you three eventually meet again, facing the same enemy: Abby. She has always been a red flag to you, the cruel past with her has left heavy scars. To her misfortune, she also gains Joel's hate after almost killing Tommy and kidnapping Joel's daughter Ellie. Out of desperation, you two form a kind of agreement, promising that you help him get his Ellie back and in return being allowed to give Abby a taste of her own medicine.

After years of sticking with Tommy's crew and building a life together, it only takes one woman for (Y/N) and Joel's world to unravel from the pull of a single thread. With a bombshell added to the mix of having another life to protect alongside the hunt for revenge, it's a struggle for anyone to make it out alive.
