    Summary

    “Wow,” Ellie breathed, her face turned up to the triceratops skeleton, “It’s super big.”

    “His name is Cliff,” Tess read off from the plaque, “He’s 65 million years old.”

    “That’s not as old as sharks,” She said.

    “Not quite,” She agreed, “But it’s still cool.”

    Ellie nodded, still transfixed, “Super mega cool.”

    Summary

    Her breaths have just evened out enough that he thinks she’s asleep again when he hears her mumble thickly, “‘M sorry, Dad.”

    Immediately, his eyes fly open, flooding with tears, and his heart lodges itself in his throat as he tries to— tries to process that this is the first time Ellie’s spoken to him in days, and she’s apologizing for… Well, he doesn’t even know what, and she’s calling him Dad, and—

    — and he hasn’t been a dad in a long time, and it hurts, it hurts so damn bad, it feels like he’s cracking open from that one single word, it feels like it’s tearing through him and reminding him of how he failed the last little girl who called him that, and—

    —and he loves Ellie with a fierceness that scares even himself, and hearing her call him Dad has mended something at the very same time that it’s broken something else.

    He remembers back in Jackson, when he so cruelly said You’re not my daughter, and I sure as hell ain’t your dad.

    Oh, how wrong he’d been— how foolish, to think he could ever give her up.

    or,

    5 times Ellie calls Joel Dad and they don't talk about it, and 1 time she doesn't call him Dad and they do talk about it.

    Summary

    She cried into his chest. Fat tears trailed down her cheeks. "Y-...you're not-...please don't-..." She cut herself off with a loud sob. "We s-stick together."

    He nodded, swallowing the lump in his throat. He hated seeing her this upset. It was his fault, these issues weren't present until he tried to ditch her. He'd apologized a million times for that whole argument and he was ready to apologize for a million more.

    "Of course, Ellie." He looked down at her, wiping away her tears only for them to be replaced by more moments later. "We stick together."

     

    Or, post TLOU 1, moments of Ellie and Joel's time in Jackson with my own fix-it twists because they both deserve nothing but happiness.
