Summary
Ellie left. You stayed. Then you left, too.
You told yourself it wasn’t to follow her, but the roads you took said otherwise. You weren’t sure what you were looking for—absolution, closure, a reason to stop grieving someone who was still alive—but you knew you wouldn’t find it in the empty farmhouse she left behind. So you walked. And walked.
And somehow, that led you to Abby Anderson.
“And the first time that you kissed me
I drank dry the River Lethe
The Liffey would have been softer on my stomach all the same
But you spoke some quick new music
That went so far to soothe this soul
As it was and ever shall be
Unearth without a name.”- Hozier, First Time
Series

Summary
Xana McGraw, a quiet and sharp-eyed girl from Austin, Texas - Who kept to herself but could give you a sarcastic remark and has more wisdom than her years shouldve given her. Though she didn’t live the most simple life she could wish for, she harbored quiet feelings for her closest neighbor, Joel Miller. But when the Cordyceps pandemic tore the world apart, chaos wrenched them from each others arms.
Left to survive on her own in San Fransico quarntine zone, Xanas quietness burned away, leaving behind something far more dangerous. Over the years her name spread across the quarantine zone and others around: a cold-blooded smuggler and hit man, a weapon in human form with a massive bounty on her head.
Beneath the ruthless reputation, fragments of the old Xana lingered when she was on the run. The girl that believed in love, laughter, and her future. Years later on the run, she crosses paths with familiar faces and must face the hardest choice of all. Will she cling to the ruthless life thats kept her alive or risk everything to reclaim the love the pandemic tried to steal.

Summary
What does the world of The Last of Us look like tens, hundreds, even thousands of years into the future? How would the expansion of nature consume the crumbling ruins of the old world? What would the fate of settlements like Boston, Jackson, or Haven be - would they grow into new centers of power and culture, or would they wither away into insignificance? What would the remnants of human society evolve into? And how would future people interact with the world that ended on Outbreak Day?
In my first story, two brothers out hunting for deer discover the long-buried ruins of something they probably shouldn't have stumbled upon…

Summary
One moment you had everything, a house, a family, a loving community. The other you lost it all, stripped bare of everything you ever loved by a brutal raid. You managed to escape with your life, barely making it to Seattle, when the city finally took from you the last thing that kept you grounded.
That's when you met her. Stone unreadable face, sharp blue eyes that could pierce through you, but a kind heart that almost looked out of place considering her whole façade. Abby took you in, kept you close. Maybe out of guilt, maybe out of pity. Maybe something else entirely. And slowly, inadvertently, something began to grow between two people who no longer believed in softness.
In a world built on loss, love might be the hardest thing to survive.
**
This story starts off in the months between Abby's return from Jackson and Ellie's arrival in Seattle, and will be canon compliant for the most part.
Reader has a VERY rich backstory, bear with me here.
No use of Y/N.
My first ever published fic! Yay! Also, English is not my first language. -

"Maybe they're not here for me," Ellie tried to calm him. She needed Joel to be calm and content if she was about to lose her shit. "Maybe they just need a place to stay, like we did."Joel stopped and looked at her with sentimental eyes, his lips pursed in a line. His hand came up and rubbed the worry lines on his forehead. "Ellie, even if that were the case, you think those people are gon' just forget about the mess we made back at that hospital?"
She cringed at the memory and furrowed her eyebrows at him. "The mess you made. I didn't kill anyone."
He sighed and sat down at the spot beside her, running his hands over his face again. "I know," he mumbled. "You're right, I made a big mess of things." He looked at her again. "I would have done it all over again, y'know?"
Ellie nodded, "I know."
-OR:
Joel and Ellie settle in Jackson after running away from the Fireflies and slowly build a life for themselves as they both struggle to carry the weight of their actions.

He knows this man, he knows Mr. Stockman, he’s worked with this man! But this is no man. Not anymore. As Stockman lunges, Splinter does… what he has to do.
That’s when it set in. "

Summary
Ellie and Tommy ran from Jackson. At first, it was to hide-from the loved ones they'd hurt, from the atrocities they'd committed, and from the pain they couldn't face. In all that running, they found a new reason to live. Something to fight for. Something to die for. Something to distract them from the monsters they knew lived inside of them. Time passed, some healing occurred, and many things changed.
One day, they're forced to return to Jackson, and everything falls apart. But some things come together. Only one thing is certain- they both have to atone.
*things have been changed, certain characters live.*

Summary
This story picks up after the end of The Last Of Us Pt 2 the video game. Ellie has endured grief, vengeance, and the hollow aftermath of survival. Now, she's carrying the weight of everything she’s lost and all she’s still afraid to face. But this isn’t just her story. It’s Maria’s, still holding a fractured community together. It’s Tommy’s, lost in the shadows of guilt and memory. It’s Dina’s, learning what it means to forgive and heal from her own trauma. Told through shifting first person perspectives, What Remains is a dark, powerful exploration of healing. A story of reckoning, redemption, and the uncertain hope that maybe..just maybe, this hasn't been for nothing. That losing Joel isn't the end.
