Reason to live (Ellie x OC/Female reader)
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?Complete

This is Not the Last of Us
Ellie found traveling with Joel to be both rewarding and simultaneously frustrating. It was like talking to a cold, emotionless brick wall sometimes. So imagine her excitement when they run into another group of travelers heading in the same direction, and they agree to travel with Ellie and Joel. The most exciting part? The other group has a girl their age. This is essentially a Ellie/Reader slow-burn fanfiction. It's also a fix-it fic in regards to the Last of Us Part 2 because I have personal issues with it. Will involve spoilers for both games, but this is mostly a self-indulgent fic. The reader is unnamed and has no descriptors so pretty much anyone can be the reader. The reader has established parents that are involved in the plot.Complete

Don't let go: Joel Miller x OC
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.

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 lastofusComplete

Silver ||Joel Miller||
Laura knew the dangers of her world. Between Cordyceps and the survivors, she often wondered how she'd made it twenty years. Lacking a purpose, she acted as a FEDRA plant for the Fireflies before she became the guardian of an immune kid. Ellie. But, of course, her life wasn't challenging enough already. And so, to stay with her kid she'd have to work with 'Texas'. He was a reminder of why it was dangerous to let people in - a reminder of her biggest regret. Joel never forgot 'Quebec', a person with whom he'd shared parts of himself he never wanted seen. It was safe to do so with her, because they'd agreed never to share their real names. It was a failed attempt at emotional detachment, which was why he'd never admit how much it hurt when she'd left four years ago. But when they have to cooperate to get Ellie across the country, he's confronted with their entwined history. Joel just wants to survive long enough to find his brother, and all he can do is prevent Laura from pulling him in again. He didn't realise he was already drowning until they made code words. 'Silver' meant 'help'... God help anyone that made Laura say 'silver'. ||Joel Miller Fan-Fiction - The Last of Us|| ||basically a season 1 rewrite with a new OC and an epilogue correction to what will happen in season 2 iykyk - 🏌♀️|| ||canon-typical violence, swearing, and trauma I guess|| ||complete - undergoing edits|| notable rankings: #1 in joelmiller #1 in tlou #1 in thelastofus #1 in mutualpining #1 in foundfamilyComplete
