Summary
You hadn't spoken in years. Technically, you had the ability to, though as the years wore on, you weren't so sure anymore.You'd settled in Jackson over a year ago and now it was Fall again. You are drawn towards Ellie and her 'not-dad' but you had always assumed any relationships deeper than surface level were beyond you at this point.
Please note MainCharacter/Reader is afab non-binary, has short hair, and has multiple nicknames but none are their name.
Series Warnings: This is my first fanfic and I plan to go into some dark stuff including some in-depth discussion of SA that was done to the main character (not by Joel) and the mental impact it has. Eventual Smut. MINORS DNI!

Summary
Ever wondered what life was like for Ellie and Dina after they left Seattle and returned to Jackson? How Dina’s pregnancy unfolded, or how JJ ended up with the nickname "Potato"? This story dives into their journey, told week by week—from the moment they settle back in Jackson, through every milestone of Dina’s pregnancy, and into the early days of parenthood. Ellie never leaves to go to Santa Barbara.
(ultimately I was frustrated by the lack of fics that explored Dina's pregnancy and how that impacted her and Ellie's relationship so I wrote it myself)

Summary
JJ's eyes are Ellie's favourite thing.
Two deep brown galaxies, always so full of wonder and an immense affection she never deserved.
They'd look up and watch her intently—like she was something so important. Like she held the moon and the stars and his future in her hands.
It's terrifying.
Was terrifying.
She misses his eyes, and how they swam in the sunlight to create a new colour. How they sparkled when Dina spoke to him in a way that made him laugh.
She can never get them right on paper. And she tries. And tries.
His laugh used to be so clear in her mind.
~
Ellie returns to Jackson. And shovels the snow in Dina's yard, every day.

Summary
This is my first ever fanfic that I'm posting on AO3 and on wattpad and hopefully that I finish, I'm very excited to post upcoming chapters for everyone and go through this journey and world that I have built around TLOU. It follows along the main canon of the game and also has taken inspiration from the HBO show. I hope you all enjoy it because I've been spending a long time on this fanfic so far. My beta reader was my cousin: @To_The_Moon, so huge thanks to them and I hope you like it!

Shaken by a Low Sound [Remastered] by Whiskeytango86

Summary
"The air catches dry in her throat all the same as she runs her hand over the soft, worn fabric. She brings it close to her face, slowly closes her eyes, and breathes in the lingering scent.
It smells like…
...like the earth out in the woods.
Like the soap they all share in the bath, tinged with lavender.
Like the oil she watched Ellie rub into the fretboard of her old guitar.
Like whiskey.
Like Ellie.
She can almost feel her again, right there with her. Like Ellie is still standing behind her, arms wrapping around her waist, fingers tugging at her hips, breath warm on her neck. Her mouth brushing the skin just below her ear, whispering low, asking if she wants her to stop.
God. How did she ever tell her to stop?
She should have never told her to stop."
A slow burn, Dina-centric story about how love lingers, and whether it can ever find its way back home through the wreckage it leaves behind.

Summary
It's been two months since Ellie first came back to the farmhouse and found it empty. She lost her fingers, her switchblade, nearly everything and everyone she once held dear. All in the pursuit of revenge that never gave her peace. Now, after leaving and wandering the broken highways of post-apocalyptic America alone, she's come back a second time. To try to rebuild, or to bury what's left.

Summary
“I’m going to need a second form of ID,” she said, voice flat.
Joel froze. “Ma’am, I” he stammered, checking his wallet again, panic rising. “I don’t have—”
Maria put a hand on his shoulder and whispered in his ear, “She doesn't think you're her father.”
Joel’s throat tightened. He looked back at the nurse. “She’s adopted,” he said quickly. “She don’t have my blood, but she’s mine. I raised her.”
The nurse’s expression didn’t change. Joel’s voice cracked. “Please. I know we don’t look alike, but I’m her dad. She’s hurt and she needs me. Please just tell me where she is.”
TLDR: Ellie gets into a car accident, Joel wants to be there for his daughter, but a nurse sees Ellie and Joel's differing complections and draws the wrong conclusions.
(Could be read alone but would make more sense if you read the original story.)

Summary
Her second thought, she voices aloud. “Are you fucking shitting me right now?”
Her arms are crossed over her chest as she shoots an angry glare down the hallway, where Jesse is standing with Dina: both of them now looking at her. “There is no way in hell I’m doing jack shit with you, you’re a fucking showoff and a little bitch.”
“Oh, you’re one to talk about being little, miss five-foot-nothing,” Jesse tosses back with the same amount of venom. Ellie growls, face scrunching up out of spite. “You’re like an angry Pomeranian.”
“The fuck is a Pomeranian?” she retorts, jutting her chin outwards. Even from across the hallway, Jesse towers over her.
Jesse rolls his eyes, turning to face Dina before turning back to Ellie. “You. Except you’re probably smaller than one. Jesus fucking Christ.”
OR: Ellie and Jesse, self-assigned enemies, end up partnered up on a scavenging trip. Somehow, everything that could go wrong does, in fact, go wrong.

Summary
JJ sniffles and burrows his little face into the crook of Ellie’s neck. She runs her fingers through his hair and worries that maybe this is her fault, that somewhere deep down he remembers the months when he was a baby that she was gone and he didn’t have any way of understanding where she was, that maybe he’s always worried that the people he loves are going to leave him, because she did.
—
JJ starts preschool, and Ellie deals with her own complicated feelings surrounding school. (Post-TLOU2 healing featuring some fun(?) little FEDRA baby Ellie and pre-TLOU2 Jackson Ellie flashbacks.)

Summary
Six years after Ellie leaves the farm, she lives as a nomad around Jackson. She checks in occasionally, but can never bring herself to stick around for long. She is haunted by flashbacks and nightmares that only seem to worsen the longer she's alone. Sullen, angry, and scared, Ellie can't bring herself to return to Jackson or to leave Jackson - or Dina and JJ - behind. She takes bigger and bigger risks - she knows, a part of her hopes, that her luck will someday run out.
Despite their strained, but generally friendly, relationship, Dina and Ellie have to work together after JJ is taken by a religious cult that worships the Cordyceps virus. They're forced to chase the cult across the states. Faith, hope, luck, and love all play a very big role in Ellie's last chance to redeem herself in her own eyes.Or: my version of Part III centered around faith, love, and self-forgiveness

Summary
Distantly, she wonders if this is a bad dream. Maybe she’ll wake up to Ellie beside her in bed like the good days, fewer and farther between as the months wore on. Maybe they’ll cook breakfast together and divide up the chores and take turns making each other laugh. Maybe she’ll feel the security of Ellie’s arms around her again, strong and stable, if only she can wake up.
She pinches herself, digs her fingers into her forearm until her nails leave indentions in the skin.
She doesn’t wake up.
Ellie doesn’t come back.
--
In the wake of Ellie's decision to go to Santa Barbara, she and Dina attempt to rebuild a relationship from the rubble left behind.
--
Or, yet another reconciliation fic, because no amount of reading the beautiful ones already on here has made me stop wanting to write my own feelings down.
