Pre Part 1: You never used to be this desperate. Never used to allow yourself to grovel at a man's feet for him just to give you the smallest morsels of warmth in return. Yet, you found yourself lapping up each and every crumb. It was never supposed to even be him. It was Tommy that set his eyes on you on that godforsaken night at the bar- the night that turned to utter carnage. Yet now, you would do just about anything to have his brother look at you with the same warmth and wanting. You wanted to hate Joel Miller, wanted to feel nothing but disgust as you looked at him but you never could... and so in turn, you allowed him to ruin you over and over in every sense of the word.

Smut/fluff/Angst: A collection of one shots that can be read alone but for more context, refer to my other fic 'Don't Let Go' Ava and Joel's story has been a long one full of ups and downs but I'm not quite done yet! Here is a collection of deleted scenes/ one shots that didn't quite make the main story. Not in chronological order but for those who have read the main fic, I will pin point to when each one shot takes place. :) No posting schedule as life is manic so will update as in when I can <3 Of course, everything cannon belongs to Naughty Dog.

'In sickness and in health. Until death do us part...' There were times when the world seemed to be a ghastly place with horrors lurking around every corner and yet, within the very same breath it could also be a beautiful phenomenon. Set nine years after the events of 'Don't Let Go', Joel found himself resonating more with the latter in recent times... More than content with what he had built for himself in the later part of his life; a home that was safe, a wife that he loved, a kid he adored and Ellie of course... Still, life was but a delicate concept. Something so fragile and easy to lose as a mortal sentient being. He'd learned to navigate and survive what he once deemed to be the end of the world with precision and expertise but what should happen when fate has him losing all control over the situation? When the powers above decide to try and rip the centre of his universe away from him? Can he save her or will he be forced to watch her fade away?

NONE OF THIS IS MINE EXCEPT FOR EVENTS AND PEOPLE CLEARLY NOT IN THE GAME ALL OTHER CHARACTERS BELONG TO NAUGHTY DOG AND THE DEVELOPERS OF THE LAST OF US Joel loses his daughter, and meets Tess. They get a job from Marlene to deliver a girl named Ellie to fireflies, Unknown to them, Marlene hired another person to accompany them on their journey. She quickly becomes close with Ellie, but is wary of Joel. Throughout the story the two (Joel and the OC) have similar experiences and have a similar past. Something happens, something sparks in their relationship...

Four years later, remaining as permanent residents in Jackson County, Joel and Devyn were living comfortably while their town was being built, becoming head of the patrols, taking care of their four year old daughter, and Ellie living her life and taking a chance to be a teenager. Everything seemed calm for while, but of course, a break never lasted long. When Devyn started experiencing strange effects of the virus she was immune to, she was alarmed for the safety of everybody around her and travels to find a solution to fix it, until her broken past comes back to haunt her as a dangerous reunion results in conflict and the truth starts to unravel. A/N: This is the sequel to Believing Lies, check that out to get caught up. :) The Last of Us is owned by NaughtyDog. I own all my OCs in this story. !!THIS DOES NOT TAKE PLACE DURING THE LAST OF US PART 2!! Warning|| This story contains gore, sexual content, & strong language.

Twenty years later after the outbreak, Devyn Collins sets out to find the answer to why she's different from everyone else in this post-apocalyptic world. Until one day, she meets Joel and Ellie in Pittsburgh after saving them from a dangerous ambush, and hears out their plan to take Ellie to the Fireflies to find a cure, realizing that she wasn't the only one with the same condition. Although she lies for the safety of her own life. A/N: This follows the main storyline of the game. I added more and changed a few things for the purpose of my oc Devyn, that includes her backstory and such. This is mainly focused on her and Joel. The Last of Us is owned by NaughtyDog. Warning|| This is a JoelxOc fanfic. This story contains gore, sexual content, & strong language.
