Born into the apocalypse, Sofia Miller has never known a safe world. Raised on the run by her mom and dad, she learned to fight, survive, and kill long before she learned what it meant to be a kid. But at just ten years old, one night changes everything - her mom walks out, leaving behind nothing but a letter and the echo of slammed doors.
Now it's just Sofia, her dad Joel, and Tess in the Quarantine Zone. Haunted by the past and abandoned by blood, Sofia must learn who she can trust, what family truly means, and how to hold on to the pieces of herself in a world that takes more than it gives.
From her first meeting with Ellie Williams to the brutal choices of adulthood, Sofia's journey weaves through the events of The Last of Us and Part II - a coming-of-age in a world where childhood is a luxury, and love is the most dangerous thing you can have.

Reason to live (Ellie x OC/Female reader)
This story is fanfiction to the game The Last Of Us (big surprise). Even if you don't know the game, I'm sure you'll be perfectly fine if you read the last chapter: Names, nicknames and explonation before you start reading. "Join old smuggler on his journey with a little girl, to find a cure for the Cordyceps fungi virus. On their way they meet a lot of interesting people and get to know each other better. Andrea thought she's lost her best friend because of what she did. But as it turns out Ellie is more then alive, she now has a purpose. She has to save humanity itself. Will Andrea be there for her this time? Or will she leave her and run again? Does she even have a reason to stay?" So in order to keep you hanging a little, I'm just going to say that this story is different from the game. But you're gonna find that one out on your own, won't you?Complete
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
the last of us | j.m.
Diane Salvino had never been dealt a winning hand. Life seemed hell-bent on testing her limits-growing up rough in the outskirts of Waco, enduring a childhood best left unspoken, throwing herself into the military, and carving out a place in Black Ops before trading combat boots for scrubs. Survival had always been her specialty. But for the first time, she thought she'd found something worth living for. Joel Miller and his daughter, Sarah. A family. A future. Until it all went up in flames. Two decades later, the world had rotted, and so had the last remnants of her heart. The outbreak stole Sarah on the first night, shattered her marriage the next, and left Diane to forge a new legend in the ashes of a world that once was. To FEDRA, she was the Boogeyman. To the Fireflies, a War Dog. To Joel, a ghost. And to one defiant, sharp-tongued girl named Ellie, she was something else entirely. A reluctant protector, maybe even a second chance. Now, fate had thrown her back into Joel's path, their history tangled in grief and blood, both bound by the impossible task of shepherding the one girl who might just save the world, and a sixteen year old boy with a deadeye shot, the journey ahead is certain. But in a place where survival demands sacrifice, Diane knows better than anyone, hope is the most dangerous weapon of all. #1 in Joel #1 in Miller #1 in The Last of Us #1 in Pedro Pascal #1 in season one #2 in Post-Apocalyptic #3 in Ellie #5 in survival #6 in outbreak #9 in The Last of UsComplete

Until The End Of Us - Joel Miller Love Story
In a broken world where survival often demands the loss of humanity, Grace never imagined she could find a home - not in a place, but in a person. Joel was a man shaped by heartache, burdened by years of solitude and loss. Love was a luxury he thought he'd never touch again. But Grace, with her fierce spirit and quiet tenderness, changes everything. Their connection grows in stolen moments and lingering touches, a slow, undeniable bond that neither of them can deny. Together, they find something rare - hope. A reason to believe in tomorrow, even when the world outside threatens to tear them apart. When danger rises and the past resurfaces, Grace and Joel will face their hardest choice yet: fight for the fragile love they've found, or risk losing it forever. Until It Ends With Us, is a sweeping, deeply emotional love story about healing, finding home in another's arms, and choosing love even when the world tells you it's impossible.Complete
Don't let go: Joel Miller x OC
MATURE READ: We loved each other with fragments of ourselves that were dead - Nikita Gill Love. Such a poignant emotion. Such a terrifying feeling to give into. One that is stored right in the precious cavity of the heart. A sentiment that can turn the toughest of people plush but can forge such an aggressive desire to protect. A dangerous intensity, even more so when you're left to find it in the obsolete remains of what was once planet Earth. Or Joel finds himself catching feelings for an existing resident of Jackson. Feelings that he just can't seem to ignore but it's not all plain sailing as they navigate through one another's trauma. Disclaimer to say that I do not own the last of us or any of the canon characters, these belong to naughty dog. I will be using references from both the HBO show and the game so I'll let you guys decide who you want to base the canon characters on :) Notable rankings: #1 in Joelmiller #1 in fungus #3 in pandemic #7 in lastofusComplete
