    Summary

    Later, Katsuki will look back on this and realize that he was being fucking stupid. Aizawa would call it the height of irrationality, both irritated and begrudgingly fond at the continuing idiocy of BakugouAndMidoriya. He is clearly not okay and he can't stubbornly shove his way through this problem.

    He tries to get out of bed anyway because Izuku isn't here.

    Summary

    “You have to be kidding me,” Izuku says, face drained of blood.
    “Nope,” Hawks says. “Looks like you’re gonna be Number One this time, kid.”
    “You’re supposed to be Number One,” Izuku says incredulously, “Or Jeanist or Fat Gum or someone. I just turned seventeen.”
    “That doesn’t seem to matter much, this time around.”

    the war is over, all for one defeated, but they're just getting started

    Summary

    And then soft, so soft Ellie barely hears from all the way over on her staircase, ear angled down towards the slats in the railing, breath held while awaiting a reply. She needs the truth, too. She deserves the truth. After all of this. The blood on her hands, on her face, on her memories. She gets to know why. Why after all this shit, none of it was even worth it.

    What Ellie once believed to be heavy, uneven breathing, she comes to realize, is quiet, fractured sobbing. “I can’t lose her,” he confesses, an omission to what Ellie already knew from the second she woke up in the back of that car, woozy and light and empty. Bare legs, cold and exposed in a hospital gown. The whole car reeked of human blood and sweat, while her skin was the cleanest, the purest, it had been in months.

    “I couldn’t let ‘em take her, Tommy.”

    It’s all the answer she needs.

    ------

    Through the seasons of Joel and Ellie's first year in Jackson. How the anger she feels at his betrayal wedges its way between them and how they find their way back together regardless.

    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.
