Set in the world of The Last of Us (Part I & II), but outside official canon, this original story follows Dani, Paul, and Anna - three teenagers journeying across post-pandemic America in search of shelter, safety, and a life beyond everything they've lost.
As they navigate the ruins of society, their bond deepens through hardship, humor, and the quiet moments in between. The Rest of Us explores not just how they survive, but how they grow - discovering who they are, what they believe in, and what life still means in a world that's lost nearly everything.

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.

When a friendly face from the days of the initial outbreak returns, tragedy strikes, moving the youngest of the Christensen group into action against a sinister militia group.
