Summary
Merlin is tasked by a druid with a mysterious quest to retrieve a ring that give people unimaginable power, only the great Emrys is able to wield it without using its powers for destruction. He requests time off from Arthur with a quick lie, and is told to take a knight with him. The only problem? Lancelot is out on patrol. So Merlin goes with the knight least likely to freak out about his magic, Gwaine. Somehow, that choice makes Arthur think the two of them are courting, and they decide to keep that cover story in place. For reasons.

Summary
Tim's eyes blinked open to see Joker's wide smile. "Little birdy!" Joker crowed in delight. "Is there something you wish to tell your Papa?"
"Fuck you," Tim spat out.
Joker slammed the rods into his temples. Tim's vision whited out, pain coursing through his veins. He didn't know how long Joker held them there, but when he took them away, Tim's throat was raw with his screams and his muscles twitched and jerked in the aftermath of the electricity.
"Ya know I don't like to be left out of the joke, Junior," Joker said thoughtfully. "I'm told lotsa kids your age hide things from their Papa."
--
or, Tim is a metahuman with the ability to heal from death. When he is kidnapped, the Joker plans to turn him into Joker Junior. Then, Tim is killed, and Joker realises the Robin he caught can't stay dead.

Summary
Steve jolts awake, staring up into the dull beige of the camper’s ceiling. There’s a distinct brown stain, likely from a leak. The cushion of the back seat is hard against his back, and if he strains he could hear yelling and laughing from the outside.
He wonders if he’s finally lost his fucking mind.
--or, Steve relives the day of the end over and over again.

Summary
The room is illuminated by a flash of lightning for a split second, and it’s enough for Joel to see that Ellie isn’t in her spot on top of flat cushions against the wall.
“Shit,” he mutters, scrambling upright and unholstering his pistol. There’s a loud rumble of thunder again, and Joel spares a second to wonder if she’s the type of kid who gets scared by storms.
Sarah had been like that, spring storms in Texas sending her scurrying to his room until she was at least ten. Even after that, when she’d stayed in her own room, he would go in to check on her and more often than not find her curled in a ball. He had never known why, since it wasn’t like they’d had particularly terrible storms when she was real little. She seemed to have been born with an innate fear of them, and no amount of reassurances or it's just angels bowling could make her relax.
(ellie has a fondness for rainstorms and thunderstorms)

Summary
Ellie is content like this, Joel busy doing something, and her just sitting with him, watching. It reminds her of after Silver Lake, when Joel would drag her around because she couldn’t stand being without him. She thinks back to the first time she woke up and couldn’t feel Joel’s presence at her back. She had rolled over, expecting to find him sitting across from her, stoking the fire, only to notice that Joel’s sleeping bag was empty, and he was nowhere to be seen. She remembers the fear, that all encompassing fear she’d felt thinking that David had come and snatched him away from her, just like he snatched everything else from her. That fear had been mixed with white hot anger, and she had clung onto her sleeping bag so tight, she’d almost ripped holes in it. She’d cried, hard, and only calmed down once Joel had returned. She remembers the trembling, and the shaking, but mostly the feeling of being held by strong, yet gentle arms. She also remembers when she came to later that night, and apologised to Joel for acting so childish.
“You have nothin’ to apologise for, baby,” he’d said, running his fingers through her hair in a way that always helps her calm down, even now. “You’ve done nothin’ wrong,”.

Summary
“So, you’re their lab rat,” he said.
“I’m not a rat,” she said indignantly.
The disheveled ponytail, dirt stained clothes, bare feet, and the way she presently occupied the ground were doing a lot to counter her statement. But he knew a kid missing context when he saw one.
“They’re using you to run experiments to test their theories. They used to do that shit to rats Before,” he said.
Her expression twitched with what was surely the question of why but she shook her head dismissively and instead said, “I’m the only immune person they’ve found. They need to study me.”
“So,” he said with repeated emphasis. “You’re their lab rat.”

Summary
Tommy had expected, from what he had seen and heard of Ellie so far, that she’d be a chatty little thing, talking his ear off. Joel had made it sound like that’s what their entire trip had been, non-stop questions and puns.
But she just sits behind him on the horse, arms loosely wrapped around him, not saying a word. The few brief attempts he’d made at conversation had been met with one-word answers or silence.
He hadn’t missed the way she kept looking over her shoulder as they rode through and then out of Jackson, as if waiting for Joel to catch up to them and tell them he’d changed his mind. It wasn’t until they were a few miles out from the gates that he stopped feeling her move, that she slumped against him just a little as if giving up.
(or, Tommy is the one to leave Jackson with Ellie) (it goes only marginally better)

Summary
Ellie clings to Tommy’s arm that forms a bar across her neck and shoulder, brown eyes wide with fear but fixed on him with utter faith that he will know what to do, that he will fix it. He can’t stop his hands from shaking as they hang uselessly in the air in front of him, one palm up in surrender while the other hand reaches toward Tommy in supplication.
“Tommy, little brother, give me the gun. Just put down the gun and we can figure—“
Tommy swings the pistol toward Ellie, and the bottom drops out of Joel’s world.

Summary
“You wanna move out?” Joel asks, and Ellie bites the side of her cheek briefly. Joel’s face conveys more than his tone, sometimes, but she can’t let herself look at him. It’ll make it too hard to say what she knows she needs to.
“Yeah,” she says, studying a chip in the paint on the railing with way more focus than it needs. “Probably a good idea, you and me having our own space.” She isn’t brave enough to bring up what people are saying about them not having their own space. She can’t do it. Either he’s not aware of it yet, or he is, but reminding him about it might mean him wanting her even farther away before her existence even in the backyard has other people making his life harder. If the closest she can get is being in the garage, she doesn’t want to risk fucking up even that.
“Alright,” he says after a long, long moment. She grits her teeth against the toneless quality of his voice. That’s the tone he uses when he doesn’t want someone to know what he’s actually feeling.
Like he would if he didn’t want a pathetic QZ kid to know how relieved he is that he’ll finally be done dealing with her shit.
(after realizing that she's making joel's life harder, ellie decides to move out to the garage)

Summary
“I don’t mean to be insensitive here, Ellie. I don’t. But I think it’s important for you to be realistic about something. Your mother didn’t stop fighting for a cure just because she got pregnant. Anything could have happened to her- anything could have happened to you. But she decided that was a risk she was willing to take. Losing you for greater good was always a possibility for her. She was willing to pay the cost.”
It aches. Physical, cutting pain that wells in her throat and stings in her eyes. Confirmation of the fear that sits with her in her bed at night, curled up next to her on the ratty old mattress. It rises in her chest when the other girls cut their eyes her way before giggling behind cupped hands. It rings in her ears in the silence of the hole, an unfriendly ghost that won’t leave her alone like everyone else has.
No one wants her. No one ever has.
or,
Ellie's known the plan from the very beginning. Joel...hasn't.

Summary
It’s the same Joel and it isn’t - still rough around the edges with strangers and slow drawl and she still manages to sneak up on him from his right side - but he’s changed since Colorado and Utah and everything that happened in between. Ellie would almost be tempted to joke that penicillin made him nicer, but she knows it has more to do with finding her monosyllabic and covered in blood and trying to fix it because that’s what Joel does, he fixes things.
Joel fixes the light in the dining room, the drain in the sink, and she tries not to think of what his version of fixing things would’ve been in the hospital, hates that she knows he was probably lying and hates that she knows she won’t call him out on it. Right now, he’s fixing an old window air conditioning unit because otherwise she’s taken to threatening to sleep in the river if she has to try to sleep in 90 degree heat because the ancient central air of the house can’t keep up.

Ellie and Joel adjust to life in Jackson and the change of the seasons.

Summary
“Please,” and if it were any other time he would hate the desperation that has leaked into his voice, “you don’t understand.” That’s my kid, he doesn’t add, the thought scraping him raw, unwilling to give voice to something that personal to fucking Marlene. He’d been fighting it since Kansas City, allowed thoughts of her as his kid in after Silver Lake, but then outside the hospital…
I’m supposed to protect her, and I’ve already failed her too many times. You can’t take her from me.
Please don’t take her from me.
“I do,” Marlene says softly, sounding pained. “Her mother was my best friend. I was there when she was born, Joel. I held her as a baby, watched her sneak out and get into trouble as she grew up. But I have a job to do.” There’s a moment of silence, tense hesitation, and Joel feels his chest crack in two before she even draws breath to continue. “And you’re too late - she’s already gone.”
(or, the fireflies decide not to jump straight to brain surgery, but they don't exactly want joel hanging around while they do their little experiments) (marlene is a goddamn liar)
