If you were a waiting room, I would never see a doctor.  I would sit there with my first aid kit and bleed.

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.

Wouldn't It Be Nice? | Joel Miller by newt-the-newt

There were plenty of things in Heather's life that did not go according to plan. She never bet on being thrown into an apocalypse, losing everything except her best friend, Tess. She never thought that Tess would become a smuggler alongside two brothers---one that left pretty early on, and one that disagreed with her more than the Cordyceps infection would. Worst of all, she never would have expected that the man she fell in love with, stubborn, closed off, and moody, seemed to have room for everyone in his life except her. Sometimes, though, in the briefest of moments, she could imagine what it would be like if things were different. Wouldn't that be nice? --- Joel Miller x OC While this book follows Season 1 of the show, there are some elements of the game throughout the story as well. WARNINGS: Most of the warnings come from things that happen in the show/game, including swearing, gruesome violence, suicide, and mentions of rape. Specific warnings will be placed at the beginning of each chapter as necessary. I own absolutely nothing except Heather's actions in the book, her backstory, and everything within that backstory.
