Daisy Jo Servopoulos had been burdened by ghosts her entire life. She wondered often about what it would've been like to know her older siblings Sarah and Jackson and experience their parents from before. Before guilt and grief became something stitched into every quiet moment. Every time she let herself imagine it for too long, she stopped. There wasn't much point. She was the child born because civilization collapsed and life found a way to continue in the ruins anyway. No birthday parties. No first days of school. No family vacations. No photographs hanging on walls from a world that would've had room for her. The only person who had ever made Daisy feel like she belonged anywhere was her mom. And now Tess was gone too, probably somewhere in whatever came next, content to rest with the family she had loved and lost long before Daisy was born. Somewhere she couldn't follow. That left Joel. Absent. Quiet. Careless Joel. The man who happened to be her father. Daisy had spent years imagining the version of him Sarah must've known. The father who rest bedtime stories, planned camping trips, and carried his little girl on his shoulders. She was certain that man had existed once. But she wasn't Sarah. Instead she was the reminder of everything that came after. The child born by accident into a world that had already ended. So when mom died and Joel became the only family she had left, Daisy couldn't imagine anything crueler than being forced across the country beside the man who had never really wanted her in the first place. All while escorting an immune girl she didn't trust and couldn't forgive. As far as Daisy was concerned, hope had died with her mother. But the world had a stubborn habit of proving her wrong. Somewhere in between abandoned cities, endless highways, infected, and impossible choices, tiny moments began slipping through the cracks. The sort of moments that started to look like family. ©️vrotwritings The Last Of Us Fanfiction

Family isn't always something you're born into. Sometimes it's something you find, and once you do, no matter how many times things fall apart, it's people you'll always come back to. Casey and Ellie have always relied on each other. But when they're pushed beyond the walls and forced to travel with someone they don't trust, what should've been temporary doesn't stay that way for long. In this world, things change. People do, too. And sometimes, the ones you never meant to need are the ones you end up holding onto.

Joel survived the outbreak once. He wasn't sure he could survive losing another daughter. Sadie grew up in the ruins of America alongside her father, learning that surviving and living weren't the same thing. When a girl named Ellie crashes into their lives, the three of them become something neither expected: a family. But some stories aren't meant to stay whole forever.

Ten-year-old Brydee Prescott has learned to stay silent. Mute since her sister's tragic infection, she hides her fears behind a grumpy facade, watching as the undead roam freely and danger lurks at every corner. Life in the Quarantine Zone is bleak, but Brydee's greatest worry is her father, who vanished on a secret mission for the Fireflies six weeks ago, leaving behind nothing but unanswered questions and a promise to return. Desperate to find him, Brydee hatches a daring plan. She sneaks into the back of a Firefly truck, hoping it will lead her to her father. But instead, she ends up trapped in the State House, surrounded by the chilling remnants of the Fireflies-only their dead bodies remain. Just when Brydee thinks she might never escape, three strangers appear: Joel, Tess, and Ellie, a fearless girl with a mysterious secret-she's immune to the Cordyceps virus. Things lead to another, the State House blows up with, regrettably Tess in it. Not having anyone but each other, Joel, Ellie and Brydee embark on a harrowing journey to track down the elusive Fireflies, with Brydee determined to find her father. Along the way, she discovers that the fight for survival is as much about finding hope and family as it is about facing the undead. -> cover by the lovely @pinkmatterwp
