    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.
