Summary
She's whiter than sin and beat to hell, blood crusted up under her nose and around her mouth when he gently lifts the poorly stitched together sack up and away from her face with hands that don't feel like his own.
All of maybe seven or eight, if he had to guess, kids somehow looking both younger and older than they're meant to these days.
She looks like a baby to him, her features all soft despite being so damn thin.
With an odd sense off detachment, he rolls up her sleeves and checks both arms before moving onto her legs in search of any sign that's she's been infected, but the tell-tale climb of Cordyceps is nowhere to be found, no bite mark to mock him. Not on her back that's a swirl of blackened bruising and bumpy spine or on the hollow of her stomach that's just as tender and hard to look at, the cut of her ribs striking.
There ain't a thing on her outside of a list of hurts that's a mile long and etched into her skin.

Joel stumbles on Ellie at the bottom of a pile of dead bodies meant for the burn pits, one shallow breath and a steady heartbeat is all it takes to undo him.Bookmarked by yasdva

Summary
The crowd parts as Dina barrels through, her jacket half-on and her boots untied, panic written clear across her features. Terror replaces the momentary relief at seeing her alive and unharmed when he sees how frantic she is. That girl doesn’t panic; not like this.
Before he can take another step, she skids to a stop in front of him. “Where’s Ellie?”
“What—”
“She was covering for me,” Dina chokes out, the words tumbling over each other in her rush to get them out. “I wasn’t feeling well, so she took my shift. Where is she?”
Tommy’s world tilts. Ellie. Inside. The words don’t connect at first, then slam into him so hard that he bends forward, hands bracing on his knees as his vision tunnels. Ellie was inside when the fire broke out, and now…
Not Ellie. Christ, not Ellie.

Summary
“Kid, get the hell outta my tree.”
Stupid fucking neighbors. She’s never even seen the person who lives here before.
“It’s not your tree,” she calls back, infusing her tone with as much attitude as she can muster. “No one owns a tree.” Deep breaths, Ellie. Can’t give away how scared you are, especially not to a stranger. Especially especially not to a man.
“Tree’s on my property. I own the property, so I own the tree. Now scram.”

Summary
Tommy Miller loves being an uncle. He always has. When his brother Joel and his niece Sarah move from Austin to Jackson after a rough year, Tommy thinks things might finally start looking up for all of them. He’s got a steady job, a wife he adores, a kid he’s raising as his own, and another on the way. For once, life feels settled.
Then Sarah brings home a girl named Ellie Williams.
At first, she’s just a name, a face at the edge of family dinners and weekend visits. But as the months pass, Tommy starts to see things that don’t sit right: bruises that don’t have explanations, eyes too tired for a kid her age, the kind of silence that hides something ugly. And before he knows it, the protective instinct that’s always made him the “fun uncle” starts turning into something else entirely: fear.
Told month by month through Tommy’s eyes, this is a story about family, loyalty, and the quiet ways people save each other when no one else is watching.

Summary
Joel is not a father anymore.
He’s not much of anything, really. A shell, perhaps. A ghost of what he once was, doomed to haunt the earth forevermore.
Melodramatic.
So when his not-quite-girlfriend-but-also-not-quite-not-girlfriend-partner? calls him at 3 in the morning, summoning him to the ER, his mind has no choice but to follow the worst case scenario. Spiral out of control as he drives on autopilot, not quite the same roads he drove that September evening. But similar enough, situationally, for his mind to trick himself.
He’s quite melodramatic, afterall.(or: modern universe where Joel meets Ellie AFTER David, but is still the best father in the universe. lots of angst, then lots of comfort, then lots of fluff)
