Yn Servopoulos is Tess' younger sister. She was only fifteen when the Cordyceps outbreak happened on September 26, 2003. Four almost five years into the outbreak, when she's nineteen, she and Tess meet two brothers, Joel and Tommy Miller. They team up with them and fight together until they reach the Boston QZ. Over the years, yn grows a crush on the eldest brother, Joel. But she hides her crush because, one, He's older than she is; Joel was 32 when the outbreak happened; she was only fifteen. That makes him seventeen years older than her. Now, that didn't really bother her much, at least not in this world. Joel was strong and fearless, or at least he seemed to be fearless. He knew how to take charge, and he protected the ones he cared about. The second thing was that yn was at least eight percent sure Joel and her sister were in some kind of relationship. Third of all, she was definitely sure the man hated her. What she failed to realize was that Joel did like her; he liked her more than he thought he should. She's younger than him. She was only a couple of years older than Sarah. Then there was the fact that she was Tess' sister. He considered Tess a friend. He's might go as far as to say she's best friend. They grew closer because of the similar trauma they suffered from the outbreak. He lost Sarah, and Tess lost both her husband and her little boy. He made it his mission to keep yn at a distance, not too distant, though. He still looked out for her and had the strong feeling to always protect her. And he never failed to feel angry or jealous when another man got too close. When twenty years into the outbreak they find themselves smuggling a fourteen year old girl out of the QZ to get her to a lab because she's immune and could be the key to a cure, they lose Tess on the way, leaving them to only have each other. Secrets come out, and feelings become confused and awkward.

This is Not the Last of Us by WitchyFeeling

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.

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.

"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. (SEQUEL OUT!)
