They say time should heal all that is broken, yet seven years have passed since you walked away from his hollow heart, and still the memories fester.

Older (Joel Miller, The Last of Us Fanfic)
"I'm old." He said, glancing to her. She looked up, meeting his eyes. "No, you're not. Grandpa's old." "Still, I'm older than you." "Yeah." She replied, letting her eyes sweep appreciatively over his body. Her eyes lingered on his arms, and the way they were folded. Joel didn't know what to do with that and let his arms drop to the sides of his body, dangling loosely as his fingers twitched. "I'm too old for you." "Agree to disagree." "I'm fifty." "Fifty-two, actually." Life's been trudging on since Joel and Ellie returned to Jackson from Salt Lake. The girl's been adjusting well, but Tommy has some choice words for Joel's lack of sociability. Just start with getting a haircut, why don't you? This is a fanfic of Joel Miller and an original female character. It takes place shortly after the end of the first game/first season, following life in Jackson, and Joel's attempt at dating. Also available on AO3!Complete
To the Light { a joel miller fanfiction }
Joel finds a young woman, Adeline, being held hostage by a group of men while he's out on patrol one day. He brings her back to Jackson, where she's given the opportunity to have something resembling a real life, for the first time. Joel and Adeline orbit around each other, destined to crash, if both of their reservations don't get in the way. OR Joel finds the love of his life lost in the woods. (obviously deviates from canon as he's not going to see any g*lf clubs and Ellie doesn't hate him because I've already got enough angst to write without that) fic playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4Q4Ye6oEr8Eaafv0dYvrEC?si=077733b0860b482fComplete

Tomorrow Never Came
He was just trying to finish the job. She was never part of his plan. Callie didn't plan on surviving the end of the world - and she definitely didn't plan on raising her niece in it. But when a job to get Ellie across the country turns into a fight for something bigger, Callie finds herself stuck with Joel: grumpy, guarded, and way too good at pretending he doesn't care. The two of them butt heads constantly... except when they don't. And that's what makes it dangerous. *I DONT OWN ANY CHARACTERS FROM THE LAST OF US OR THE STORYLINE ALL RIGHTS TO NAUGHTY DOG PRODUCTIONS*
Always & Forever (A 'The Last Of Us' Fanfic)
Ever wonder what Joel was like before the turn? 2002 Austin, Texas. Beth Logan and Joel Miller have lived next door to each other since they were in diapers. Because of this, a close friendship was something that was able to happen naturally. And the feelings they have developed as they've grown, are clearly there but none are too keen on acting on them. They are at the end of their junior year and will be starting their last year of high school in the fall. As things progress, they will be faced with heartache, unexpected obstacles that they won't be sure can be overcome and their relationship will be severely tested. Could their love remain always and forever even at the brink of the end of the world? [Inspired by my favorite video game 'The Last of Us'. I don't own the characters of Joel, Sarah, or Tommy Miller. The storyline is all original.]Complete
