"Oh, fuck-" A hand clamped over Maeve's mouth and her back was pressed against a chest, trapping her body against another. "Quiet!" The Clicker stumbled about, its head moved around all uncomfortably and broken-like, clicking its creepy click. It sniffed the musty air before it decided to move on. Once it was far enough away from them, the hand let her free. "Did you learn nothing from the upper floors, or did you want us to be Clicker food?" After her sister is bitten by an infected, Maeve and Ellie find themselves being precious "cargo" and having to be delivered to the Fireflies, who are across the country, by smugglers Joel, Tess, and TJ.

The Last of Us X Male Reader Insert
PLEASE READ. So, I've had this story in mind for a bit of time now and I hope you'll like it. In this story what's left of humanity has spent twenty years surviving in a post-apocalypsetic landscape, this includes a young boy named Y/N Grimes. After the death of his parents he spent his life surviving alone in the world. While Y/N is moving through Chicago he ends up running into a crew known as the Fireflies and the crew's leader named Tommy Miller. The two form a bond and Y/N ends up joining the Fireflies in Chicago. He helps them fight off FEDRA forces in the city, but over time he and Tommy start to see the the flaws of the Fireflies. So, they both leave Chicago and the Fireflies behind. They both end up in Wyoming to find a community known as Jackson, they end up finding it and join the community becoming protectors of Jackson. And they continue to do so until they go on a mission to fix the nearby hydro-electric plant and running into Tommy's brother and a young girl. So, this story will be somewhat based on the games in a sense. You'll see what I mean as the story goes on. Now, I don't own any of the characters I use in this story. All rights go to their respective owners.
Shadow of Death
For the last six years, you've lived in relative comfort as a citizen of Jackson, Wyoming. You should feel lucky to be part of a strong, thriving community and dwell safely behind sturdy walls. But you don't. Not when you didn't deserve it. The real story behind your sister's passing is a truth you can't bear anyone to know. You try to smother the guilt, try to keep your days full with work at the stables and other tasks of mundane nature, but the ghost of her continues to hang over you after all this time. Things threaten to boil over when your best friend Tommy asks an important favor of you involving his surly older brother - one you'd really rather not agree to, but find yourself signing up for without much of a choice. Putting up with him is no walk in the park at first. But, much to your surprise, the shadow of death clings to Joel Miller too, and so maybe it was only inevitable that a connection was to be made between a pair of tortured souls with dirty little secrets. "Everything you love is very likely to be lost, but in the end, love will return in a different way." - Franz Kafka

The two of them butt heads constantly... except when they don't. And that's what makes it dangerous. *I DONT OWN ANY CHARACTERS FROM THE LAST OF US OR THE STORYLINE ALL RIGHTS TO NAUGHTY DOG PRODUCTIONS*

Naughty Dog is the original owner of The Last of Us, which has inspired this fanfic. When Joel and Ellie arrive in Jackson after returning from Salt Lake City, they have hopes of finding some sort of normalcy and routine. Joel isn't expecting to meet you, a doctor in Jackson who has a strange background. He remembers you from the Boston QZ, but you don't seem to remember him. You have a way of drawing people in unintentionally, and Joel is no different. Though you try to keep your distance initially, you feel a kind of comfort from Joel that you haven't found through anyone else. When your plans to run away don't work out, and the more you learn about Joel and Ellie, you're reaching a point of no return where you feel that no matter how much you deny it to yourself, there is something darker going on. Joel can't hide the truth from you forever, and how will you react when you find out the truth? *Credit for the cover art goes to Gauravi Mungekar on AI ArtStreet*
