Crimson Hearts || Joel Miller by SlytherinWitch98

Tiffany Walker has survived twenty years of hell - from the chaos of outbreak night in her small Pennsylvania hometown to the suffocating walls of the Boston QZ. Hardened, sharp-witted, and deeply loyal, she's a woman shaped by loss and betrayal, but still willing to risk everything for the people she loves. When a chance encounter leads her to Ellie - a mouthy, strange teenage girl who should have turned from a bite but didn't - Tiffany makes a choice that changes everything. Their bond becomes fast and fierce, forged in shared grief and a desire to protect what little good remains in the world. But protection comes at a cost. Tasked with smuggling Ellie west, Tiffany forms an uneasy alliance with Joel and Tess. Joel is everything Tiffany resents: guarded, gruff, and stubborn. But as their journey forces them through danger, heartbreak, and fleeting moments of peace, a fragile trust blossoms between them. Over time, that trust becomes something deeper - something neither of them thought they could ever have again. As the group battles clickers, soldiers, and their own haunted pasts, Tiffany's fierce devotion to Ellie and growing love for Joel push her to question the hardened walls she built. And when Jackson, Wyoming offers the safety she never dreamed of, Tiffany must face her greatest fear - not dying, but finally living.

Dark Paradise - Joel Miller x OC by s_aned

''If he's a serial killer, then what's the worst That could happen to a girl who's already hurt? I'm already hurt'' Aged 8 when the world fell appart, Chloe had to go through a lot to survive in one of these Quarantine Zone set up by FEDRA. When two men find her while she's escaping her persecutors, more than twenty years later, the life they offer her seems too good to be true. But the safety of Jackson's wall appears to be real, and soon she's getting attached to people around here. And to him. ¤This is a JoelxOC story, starting in summer 2035. There will be spoiler from TLOU2, so if you haven't played it, I don't recommend to read this. ¤Trigger warning are reported at the beginning of each chapter, so you can skip them. It includes : past abusive relationship, mention of rape (non-descriptive), rude language, drug allusion, suicide allusion. But stay around, because there is also a lot of fluff and tenderness, and some smut. /!\ Age gap, OC is ~30, because we all have daddy issues for Joel and I don't even care anymore.

Reason to live (Ellie x OC/Female reader) by cotudelam

This story is fanfiction to the game The Last Of Us (big surprise). Even if you don't know the game, I'm sure you'll be perfectly fine if you read the last chapter: Names, nicknames and explonation before you start reading. "Join old smuggler on his journey with a little girl, to find a cure for the Cordyceps fungi virus. On their way they meet a lot of interesting people and get to know each other better. Andrea thought she's lost her best friend because of what she did. But as it turns out Ellie is more then alive, she now has a purpose. She has to save humanity itself. Will Andrea be there for her this time? Or will she leave her and run again? Does she even have a reason to stay?" So in order to keep you hanging a little, I'm just going to say that this story is different from the game. But you're gonna find that one out on your own, won't you?
