Diane Salvino had never been dealt a winning hand. Life seemed hell-bent on testing her limits-growing up rough in the outskirts of Waco, enduring a childhood best left unspoken, throwing herself into the military, and carving out a place in Black Ops before trading combat boots for scrubs. Survival had always been her specialty. But for the first time, she thought she'd found something worth living for. Joel Miller and his daughter, Sarah. A family. A future. Until it all went up in flames. Two decades later, the world had rotted, and so had the last remnants of her heart. The outbreak stole Sarah on the first night, shattered her marriage the next, and left Diane to forge a new legend in the ashes of a world that once was. To FEDRA, she was the Boogeyman. To the Fireflies, a War Dog. To Joel, a ghost. And to one defiant, sharp-tongued girl named Ellie, she was something else entirely. A reluctant protector, maybe even a second chance. Now, fate had thrown her back into Joel's path, their history tangled in grief and blood, both bound by the impossible task of shepherding the one girl who might just save the world, and a sixteen year old boy with a deadeye shot, the journey ahead is certain. But in a place where survival demands sacrifice, Diane knows better than anyone, hope is the most dangerous weapon of all. #1 in Joel #1 in Miller #1 in The Last of Us #1 in Pedro Pascal #1 in season one #2 in Post-Apocalyptic #3 in Ellie #5 in survival #6 in outbreak #9 in The Last of Us

The world ended, but people didn't. Not entirely. Twenty years after the outbreak, survival has become second nature. But when Althea agrees to help smuggle a girl across the country, everything shifts. There's Joel: quiet, brutal, impossible. The gruff, closed-off man with blood on his hands and grief in his bones. There's Ellie: foul-mouthed and sharp-eyed, with too much riding on her small shoulders. And there's Althea, stuck somewhere between running from her past and crashing headfirst into a future she never dared to want. Love isn't safe. Hope isn't smart. But some things are worth the risk. Because in the end, it's not about what you've lost, but what you're willing to fight for, even when the world seems beyond saving.

Luna chegou aos Estados Unidos um dia antes do mundo acabar. Seus planos, sonhos e toda a normalidade desapareceram com o surto do Cordyceps, dando lugar a uma realidade marcada pela perda, medo e luta constante pela sobrevivência. Por anos, ela percorre o país, se abrigando onde pode, formando e desfazendo laços com grupos de sobreviventes - até encontrar em Jackson um raro vislumbre de paz. É lá que ela conhece Joel e Ellie, recém-chegados de uma longa e perigosa jornada. À primeira vista, Luna e Joel são apenas dois sobreviventes endurecidos pelo tempo, mas a convivência revela feridas profundas e um carinho silencioso que cresce dia após dia. Em um mundo onde o amor parece não ter mais lugar, eles encontram um no outro razões para acreditar no amanhã. Mas o passado de Joel carrega segredos, e o futuro de Ellie pode mudar tudo. Em meio a dilemas morais, ameaças externas e o peso das escolhas, Luna se vê dividida entre proteger seu coração ou lutar por algo que, há muito tempo, ela achou que nunca mais sentiria: amor. Mas no mundo pós-apocalíptico, nada é simples.

MATURE READ: We loved each other with fragments of ourselves that were dead - Nikita Gill Love. Such a poignant emotion. Such a terrifying feeling to give into. One that is stored right in the precious cavity of the heart. A sentiment that can turn the toughest of people plush but can forge such an aggressive desire to protect. A dangerous intensity, even more so when you're left to find it in the obsolete remains of what was once planet Earth. Or Joel finds himself catching feelings for an existing resident of Jackson. Feelings that he just can't seem to ignore but it's not all plain sailing as they navigate through one another's trauma. Disclaimer to say that I do not own the last of us or any of the canon characters, these belong to naughty dog. I will be using references from both the HBO show and the game so I'll let you guys decide who you want to base the canon characters on :) Notable rankings: #1 in Joelmiller #1 in fungus #3 in pandemic #7 in lastofus

After Joel saves Ellie and settles in the walled town of Jackson with his brother Tommy, he thinks he's done with the world - with caring, with hoping, with trusting. His only purpose now is to keep Ellie safe. Love, friendship, connection? That died a long time ago. Enter Alice: 24 years old, stubborn as hell, beautiful as sin, and the older sister of young Dina. With her fierce spirit and softer heart, she's everything Joel has shut himself away from. But Alice doesn't scare easy. She sees the cracks in Joel's armor. And she's not about to give up. In a world where survival is brutal and trust is a risk, their bond grows in the ashes - slow, stubborn, and dangerously alive. Wounded hearts trying to heal. Ashes and Wildflowers is a gripping romance set after the events of The Last of Us Part I, where two broken souls find each other when the world seems already lost.
