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

**18+, dark topics covered, toxic relationships, graphic violence and smut throughout** 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.

If I tell you to leave me, then damn it, you leave and you don't look back." "Daryl," she sighed softly, shaking her head. "No, I mean it," he argued, encircling her wrist and jostling her a bit, begging her to listen. "I can't lose you. Not like that, not ever." His words were like lava bubbling in his throat, everything he had fought so hard to conceal was quickly rising to the surface. Fuck it. Any fear of rejection was overpowered by his need to make her understand. It wouldn't change how he felt, or the fact that he'd take on a thousand walkers if it kept her safe for even one more millisecond. "I need you around, Ace." "Always." ------------------------------ *I do not own any characters, scenes, or scripts from The Walking Dead.

Book One. In the Boston QZ, ten-year-old Isha Miller has only ever known two constants in her life-Joel and Tess. They raised her, protected her, and taught her how to survive in a world that had long since collapsed. But when a smuggling deal goes south and an unexpected job forces them beyond the quarantine zone, Isha finds herself going on the most dangerous journey of her life. All with the help of her grumpy father and a strange teenage girl. Tasked with escorting a girl named Ellie across the country, Joel struggles to keep both her and Isha safe. What Isha doesn't know-what she was never meant to know-is that Joel isn't really her father. Her real father is Tommy, Joel's estranged brother, who left years ago without realizing he had a daughter. And now, as they fight to survive, Isha must learn what it truly means to be family in a world where love is as dangerous as it is rare. She thinks she knows who she is. She thinks she knows who Joel is. But some secrets don't stay buried forever. Ranked #1 in thelastofus 10/9/25, 1/12/26, 1/24/26 Ranked #1 in belleramsey 1/5/26
