Bite Before You Beg *smutty* (A "The Last of Us" Ellie x Reader Fanfic) The only thing worse than being stuck on patrol with Ellie Williams is realizing you'd rather throw her against a wall than shoot her. Y/N can fight off infected. She can outrun raiders. But surviving Ellie's smirks, sharp words, and too-close stares? That's a whole different war. Thrown together by bad luck and worse timing, what starts as another brutal patrol turns into something bloodier - and far more dangerous. Trapped in the ruins of a dying city, it's not just survival on the line anymore. It's pride. Control. Desire, twisting sharp as a blade between gritted teeth. Enemies first. Allies by necessity. Something else if they aren't careful. She hates Ellie Williams. She just hasn't decided yet if she'd rather kill her... or let her ruin her. In a world already torn apart, some battles are lost on purpose. And some are begged for.

In 1988 when Dylan Montgomery moves to Beverly Hills after her mother remarries, she must navigate the challenges of fitting into a glamorous but daunting upper-class life. Living across from the charmingly cocky Nicholas and his introspective brother Eric, Dylan finds herself drawn into a complicated romance that uncovers their shared family struggles. With the help of her new friend Katie, Dylan confronts the harsh realities of wealth, identity, and love in a world where appearances often hide deeper truths. (80s AU!
