    Summary

    “Go with him, Ellie,” Marlene orders

    Ellie flares inside. This motherfucker, with a gun in my face? Her insides twist and writhe and she feels like a child. Doesn’t she know, Ellie wonders. Doesn’t she know what men do to girls?

    When Tess died, Ellie began to wonder when Joel would turn on her.

    She kept her mother’s knife in the seam of her bedroll while she slept.

     

    Or, Part 1, from Ellie’s perspective, and the events after.

    Summary

    "What is this then, huh? Just lonely?"

    He said it so closely to her ear that it made her shiver. Ellie tried to snark, "Yeah, I get real lonely with you bothering me all day."

    Joel didn't laugh, just kept steady and asked, almost interrogative, "What, then?"

    She groaned, "God, aren't you old and wise or something? What d'you think this is?"

    Joel’s tone exposed his edge, his fear, "I think I'm the only warm thing around for 30 miles out, and you're a goddamn hormonal teenager."

    Fix-it of sorts post-s1. Joel ends up confessing about the Fireflies. Ellie grapples with the battle in her heart. Then a handful of other things happen.

    Summary

    The building is overgrown the way most are now, wildlife seeping into structures that used to be solid and whole and clean. But it’s the sign right inside the broken door that catches her eyes more, a stand, filled with old, thin pages stapled together.

    “Giants of the Past,” she reads, sucking in a little breath and then scans the space, catching sight of bones that look like the dinosaur on the cover of the thin book. “Joel! Is this a museum?”

    “Nah, it’s a chicken coop.”

    She shoves at him with a laugh. “Fuck off.”

    He grins, tugging at her shorts. “C’mon. More to see, kiddo.”


    Or, the pure smut version of the museum flashback in TLOU2. You do not need to have played the game to understand the scene, it's just Joel and Ellie on her birthday post the first game/first season. The scene it's inspired by is linked in the notes!
