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

Joel Miller x FMC | Explicit 18+ This is a FF I started earlier this summer. It was meant to be written for fun, a way for me to place myself into my own fantasies on paper. I've decided to post the few chapters I have so far, maybe to encourage me to write more :) TW: Sexual content, explicit language, violence and gore, My Spotify playlist for this fic: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6YIITrtgUWEjW8fXQFOYAT?si=rCtM_kDJTO-QeZiCWxHbmg&pi=ra4sffDFT5CM1

"I'm old." He said, glancing to her. She looked up, meeting his eyes. "No, you're not. Grandpa's old." "Still, I'm older than you." "Yeah." She replied, letting her eyes sweep appreciatively over his body. Her eyes lingered on his arms, and the way they were folded. Joel didn't know what to do with that and let his arms drop to the sides of his body, dangling loosely as his fingers twitched. "I'm too old for you." "Agree to disagree." "I'm fifty." "Fifty-two, actually." Life's been trudging on since Joel and Ellie returned to Jackson from Salt Lake. The girl's been adjusting well, but Tommy has some choice words for Joel's lack of sociability.

It takes place shortly after the end of the first game/first season, following life in Jackson, and Joel's attempt at dating. Also available on AO3!

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.

A tale of reunion, heat and surrender "Orc's Desire" is a scorching orc-human romance. 18+

𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 "Don't get me wrong," Tony continued gruffly, eyes still shut. "I know that I'm being a selfish bastard, wanting to keep you like this with me when I'm the last thing you need. I know I should be pushing you away for your own good, but goddamn it, I can't bear the thought of sending you into the arms of some douchebag college boy." He opened his eyes again, his gaze locking on hers. "Selfish as it is, I'd rather be the one ruining you than watching some pretty boy take you to a shitty frat party and get you drunk on cheap vodka." His hand slid up her side, his touch almost possessive.

Tony was also bleeding from the fight after the truth about his parent's murder was revealed. Against his best judgment, he takes her with him to help recover her memories. It doesn't take long for Tony to find himself falling for her, but he didn't expect her to feel the same way.

At the same time, a mysterious enemy with solid proof of things the Avengers and SHIELD would rather hide appears, determined to tell the world who our favorite heroes really are. Set after CA: CW. Grace is my OC and belongs to me but anything associated with Marvel doesn't. Mature themes such as torture, PTSD, anxiety, trauma, and violence are explored. Some smut. Proceed with caution.
