take on me, joel miller
The world ended, but people didn't. Not entirely. Twenty years after the outbreak, survival has become second nature. But when Althea agrees to help smuggle a girl across the country, everything shifts. There's Joel: quiet, brutal, impossible. The gruff, closed-off man with blood on his hands and grief in his bones. There's Ellie: foul-mouthed and sharp-eyed, with too much riding on her small shoulders. And there's Althea, stuck somewhere between running from her past and crashing headfirst into a future she never dared to want. Love isn't safe. Hope isn't smart. But some things are worth the risk. Because in the end, it's not about what you've lost, but what you're willing to fight for, even when the world seems beyond saving.
Outsider
"And I'm not here to be the saviour you long for Only the one you don't And are you watching me, with eyes of a predator As you move towards the door (...) Show me those pretty white jaws, show me where the delicate stops Show me what you've lost, and why you're always taking it slow Show me what wounds you've got, and show me love (...) Jaws - Sleep Token When you meet a girl that has been captured by your group and not agreeing with the fate they chose for her, you make a decision that brings overwhelming consequences to your life. You end up being saved by someone you may not have the desire to be saved by. Someone who has the same wounds and losses that you, that doesn't know what a delicate touch is for a long time. Who doesn't allow himself to be loved and to show love.

Where the Wildflowers Rot-TLOU
In the crumbling world that came after the outbreak, survival was a currency Joel and Tess had long since learned to trade in. They had no room left for softness-no room for attachments. So when FEDRA handed them a ten-year-old orphan named Delilah in 2027, it felt more like a punishment than a responsibility. She wasn't wanted. Not at first. But the world has a way of forging bonds in blood, grit, and silence. Years later, Delilah is older, sharper, and more damaged than a girl her age should ever have to be. She's learned to keep her guard up. She's learned how to fight. And when Joel and Tess take on the job of escorting a strange, immune girl named Ellie across the country, Delilah finds herself dragged into a journey she never asked for-one that will unravel everything she thought she understood about family, loyalty, and what it means to survive. Set in the years before and during the events of The Last of Us, Where the Wildflowers Rot explores a broken world through the eyes of a forgotten girl growing up among ghosts, smuggling rings, and the quiet, aching love of two people who never planned to care. Because even in a world overrun by rot, sometimes things still try to grow
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![[REWORK] The Last Of Us x Male Reader OC](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/335836438-256-k607736.jpg)
