Mature

Joel Miller grew up with a destiny, an empire, and a mother determined to keep his hands clean of anything, or anyone, unsuitable. That included Diane, the fiercely independent high school sweetheart that appeared in Austin after family trouble. A cold ultimatum from the Miller matriarch ended their relationship, sending Diane into the military and Joel down a path of emotional stagnation.

When a chance reunion years later leads to one unforgettable night, Diane walks away with more than just closure. For a decade, she built a secure, loving life for herself, her boy Elijah, and her surrogate daughter, Ellie, far from the toxic pull of "old money."

But the death of Joel's father draws Diane back to Texas, straight into the orbit of a divorced, guarded Joel and his skeptical girlfriend, Tess. The final, unavoidable collision is set for the biggest society event of the season: Tommy Miller's wedding.

When the truth is exposed in front of everyone, Joel must face the consequences of his youthful choice, and Diane must fight to protect the family she sacrificed everything to build.All Rights Reserved

Older (Joel Miller, The Last of Us Fanfic) by charmainewattson

"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!

wayfaring stranger | j.m by mia_rose240

Before the outbreak, before the legend of War Dog took root, she was just Diane Salvino - a fierce, resilient girl clawing her way out of a broken home in South Waco, Texas. Desperate to escape, she enlisted in the military, where grit and rage transformed her into one of the deadliest black ops operatives of her generation. But fate had other plans. An injury pulled her from the front lines, and Diane found herself trading combat gear for scrubs, working as a nurse to make ends meet. One night, while singing for tips at a dingy bar, she caught the eye of Joel Miller-a rugged single dad with a weary smile. Love blossomed unexpectedly, and soon Diane wasn't just a soldier or a survivor - she was a wife, a mother to Joel's daughter Sarah, and a woman finally finding peace. Eight years later, that peace is shattered and the woman once known as Diane Salvino Miller fades away; replaced by the hardened myth of War Dog. A legend forged from grief, fury, and a soul set on survival. #3 in the last of us

the last of us | j.m. by mia_rose240

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 Us
