And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon.
Little boy blue and the man in the moon. 
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when."
But we'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then. 

~~~•••~~~

Ellie's twin sister, Sophie, is her antithesis. Ellie is rash, impulsive, and hotheaded. Sophie is quiet, sensitive, and passionate. Though they're opposites, they keep each other grounded. Sophie helps Ellie from going over the edge, and Sophie would have never survived the world they found themselves living in if Ellie wasn't there.

The song of Sophie's life was Ellie. 

And then a hardened man that is thrusted into their lives becomes another song of Sophie's life. 

A song that is messy, but beautiful all the same.

A song that she loves and treasures.

Our fight /The Last Of Us. by Multiverse_girlie

Violet was born in the apocalypse, where mold infects people and makes them go crazy and turns them into zombies, and they have only one goal, to destroy the human race and take over the world. Violet was captured by Fedra, when they discovered her condition and Fedra holds her and does the most horrible things to her, to test their theories, to see if she really is immune to the disease that is destroying the human race and little by little, Violet loses herself and after a while she doesn't recognize herself anymore, when she looks in the mirror she only sees a girl, with an empty look in her eyes, whose soul seems to have left her body and only leaves a shell, of the girl she once was. Daliah is a 38 year old woman in the apocalypse and lost her son to Fedra, when her son was barely two years old and therefore not old enough to remember his mother and since the day that Fedra took her son from Daliah, the woman has only 1 goal and that is to find her son and kill the people who took her son from her, just because her boyfriend at the time, thought she was not fit to be a mother in the apocalypse and thought she was going to neglect her son, but Daliah will not rest, until she puts a bullet through the head of the man who took her son, and all the people who helped him, and Daliah only knows one emotion, anger, nothing else, not since her son was torn from her arms. But everything changes when Daliah meets Joel Miller, a man who lost his daughter the day the world ended and has been closed off ever since and barely speaks to anyone except her and a woman named Tess and through a stupid misunderstanding it happens that Joel, Daliah and Tess have to take two girls to the fireflys and those girls are Ellie and Violet and they might just change the course of the world.

SAILOR SONG by c_slow

[TLOU X OC] "Oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor?" Billie Miller lives in a world of shadows, both outside the barricaded windows and within the walls of her strained relationship with her father, Joel. Trapped in a crumbling apartment, her days are filled with the echo of survival tactics, math equations, and a marine biology book that offers her a rare escape into a world of harmony and balance. But in a world consumed by chaos, harmony feels like a distant dream. When a betrayal puts Joel, Billie, and Tess on a dangerous path to recover a vital resource, Billie insists on proving herself capable of surviving outside the confines of their safe house. Their search leads them to Ellie, a fiercely independent teenager with a secret that could change everything. As Billie and Ellie are forced to rely on each other through perilous encounters and unforgiving landscapes, their shared vulnerability grows into a deep bond, one that will transform into an unexpected and powerful romance. In a world where survival comes at the cost of humanity, Billie begins to wonder: can love flourish in a life built on loss? As danger draws closer, she must decide who she wants to be, not just to Joel, but to herself and to Ellie.
