-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

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.
