Summary
It’s Ellie who notices you first, halfway into their first year in Jackson.
“Did you know that one weird mute lady down the street makes bread?” she demands as she storms into the living room, clutching a wrapped loaf of bread. “And she just gives it away?”
“She ain’t weird just ‘cause she don’t talk, Ellie,” Joel sighs wearily as he sits up on the couch he had been sprawled across.
“Okay, she’s weird ‘cause she keeps to herself, then.” Ellie aims a raised eyebrow back at him. “Sound familiar?”
[In which Joel helps his quiet neighbor open Jackson's first bakery, and she makes fast friends with Ellie by plying her with baked goods.]

Summary
“Yeah but they don’t have the fucking balls to come in here after me, especially not if you’re here.”
“And what if I’m not, one day? I don’t live here you know, kid.”
“Ellie,” she corrects him, unaware that Joel already knows her name from the first night those kids were after her, “my name is Ellie.”
He waves her words away. “My point still stands.”
(modern AU where Ellie keeps finding her way to Joel's worksite)

Summary
Somewhere along the way, his girl’s gotten to believing that she’s a superhero. He doesn’t disagree, not necessarily, but he still sees the parts of her that are less man of steel and more little girl that grew up lonely and leans in to praise like a plant growing towards the sun. He sees it. Tommy and Maria see it. And evidently, Marshall fucking Green saw it.
Or, everyone has blind spots. Someone tries to exploit one of Ellie’s and its handled accordingly.

Summary
On the sixth snatched lunch, he decides to wait and watch. It’s childish, but they’d finally had help in so work had gone quickly enough that he could work on making cuts for the cabinet framing.
And it just so happens to offer the perfect viewpoint to watch his lunch bag on the passenger side of his truck without being immediately visible.
He waits in the hours before lunch ready for a fight, ready to storm out and confront his little shit of a little brother. He knows it’s Tommy. He knows it.
And then a little head with a brown ponytail sticks out of a bush, and he starts to wonder what he knows after all.
The girl looks around furtively, darts forward, jumps up to get her arm over the open window, makes a basket of her shirt, shakes out the contents, tosses the bag back in, and darts off, disappearing into the bushes once more.
All while he stands on the sidelines, saw still in hand.
(non-apocalypse au in which ellie and joel meet bc she keeps sneaking onto his jobsite to steal his lunch)
