[Follows Season 1 - ?] [UPDATES EVERY TUESDAY] "If everything had gone right... if the world was still how it used to be, we never would've met." When Jenna deserted from FEDRA and joined the Fireflies, she always figured she would get shot on patrol or get hanged for treason. She'd accepted that she was no more than a pawn in the pursuit of liberation in the Boston QZ. But when her entire patrol is killed, Jenna's purpose is finally clear: help deliver this random girl across the United States and save the world. Why? Because this "random" girl is immune. On her journey, Jenna discovers that she has the capacity to love, despite the apocalypse she calls home. It is isn't easy, and-Joel-the man who is accompanying them is a closed book... a mystery. Jenna never thought she would meet anyone who saw her as more than expendable, and she definitely didn't think Joel would be that person. "Well then... I'm glad it all went to shit." ── STARTED: 30/01/2023 FINISHED: Still in progress. ── 🏆ACHEIVEMENTS🏆 1 in #ellie 1 in #mandalorian 1 in #dindjarin 1 in #troybaker 1 in #thelastofusshow 1 in #playstation 1 in #hbo 1 in #hbomax 1 in #joel 1 in #pedro 8 in #thelastofus 1 in #pascal 1 in #ramsey 96 in #apocalypse 1 in #tlou ── ⚠️WARNING⚠️ mature themes, language, violence, weapons, sex, mentions of cannibalism and death.

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

**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.
