They say the stadium is safe. Fenced in. Fortified. Full of silence and burnt coffee.
Abbys's used to the routine-watch rotations, empty stares, and cigarettes that taste like regret. But when a new girl arrives, bruised but biting back, something shifts. She doesn't speak unless she has to. She won't say her name. And Abby can't stop watching her.
In a world where everyone's lost something, maybe curiosity is the last dangerous thing.
But asking questions can get you killed. Or worse-attached.

Y/n L/n escapes the seraphites after her mothers tragic passing. Not knowing what to do or where to go, Y/n finds a girl by the name of Ellie. "So..." Ellie started as we walked across the room. "What's up with the scars?" "They're supposed to show mankind's imperfections. It's a tradition. Everyone gets them at some point." I said remembering when I got mine. "Did it hurt?" Ellie asked as we moved forward and I shrugged. "Yes...a lot actually, but I was just honored that I got them like everyone else." "Hmm." Ellie hummed. "I actually think they look pretty badass."

As Alex hunts Ellie through the ruins of Seattle, fragments of who she used to be start clawing their way back-memories of loss, of rage, and of something dangerously close to connection.

The First Of Us
The last of us prt 2 Ellie Williams x reader In the ruins of a world lost to fire and rot, Y/N and Ellie are bound by vengeance-and something far more dangerous. Forced into a fragile alliance to hunt the woman who destroyed everything, they traverse a blood-soaked wasteland of infected, zealots, and crumbling faith. But something deeper simmers beneath the surface: a connection neither asked for, and a past neither can outrun. And amidst the violence, something fragile takes root: a love neither of them saw coming. As the lines between justice and obsession blur, and the ghosts of the past close in, Y/N and Ellie must choose-cling to revenge, or risk everything for each other. achievements #1 🥇thelastofuspart2Complete

Silver ||Joel Miller||
Laura knew the dangers of her world. Between Cordyceps and the survivors, she often wondered how she'd made it twenty years. Lacking a purpose, she acted as a FEDRA plant for the Fireflies before she became the guardian of an immune kid. Ellie. But, of course, her life wasn't challenging enough already. And so, to stay with her kid she'd have to work with 'Texas'. He was a reminder of why it was dangerous to let people in - a reminder of her biggest regret. Joel never forgot 'Quebec', a person with whom he'd shared parts of himself he never wanted seen. It was safe to do so with her, because they'd agreed never to share their real names. It was a failed attempt at emotional detachment, which was why he'd never admit how much it hurt when she'd left four years ago. But when they have to cooperate to get Ellie across the country, he's confronted with their entwined history. Joel just wants to survive long enough to find his brother, and all he can do is prevent Laura from pulling him in again. He didn't realise he was already drowning until they made code words. 'Silver' meant 'help'... God help anyone that made Laura say 'silver'. ||Joel Miller Fan-Fiction - The Last of Us|| ||basically a season 1 rewrite with a new OC and an epilogue correction to what will happen in season 2 iykyk - 🏌♀️|| ||canon-typical violence, swearing, and trauma I guess|| ||complete - undergoing edits|| notable rankings: #1 in joelmiller #1 in tlou #1 in thelastofus #1 in mutualpining #1 in foundfamilyComplete
Until We Burn
Cassie Brown has spent her life wrapped in the illusion of safety-protected, overlooked, a shadow cast in her brother Jesse's wake. But she's done being someone else's careful secret, done biting down on the need for something raw, something real. Ellie Williams is impossible. Her sharp edges cut just to see if you'll bleed, and Cassie? She's always been the kind to lean into the pain. Their uneasy alliance is a game neither of them meant to play-stolen glances like flicked matches, touches that linger too long, a slow-burn soaked in gasoline. Survival demands trust. But trust? It tastes a lot like sin.Complete
Liquid Smooth, tlou
Indigo Price was supposed to be dead. She wasn't supposed to survive, but fate clearly had a different idea. Now her blood might be the key to saving the world, humanity, and all its faults. Dragged out of hiding by the Fireflies, she gets shoved into the care of an angry smuggler who has a strange disliking to her, and a past he won't talk about. Indi had a simple plan: stay quiet, stay alive, and don't trust anyone. Especially not him. But the road ahead is long, twisted, and way too traumatising for a 14 year old. She doesn't know whats worse; dying young- or surviving like this.
