Summary
“Joel, get Joel. Please.” Bile is rising in her throat. She swallows it back.
Ian makes a scoffing noise, taking a step closer. “Seriously, you’re fine. You just knocked it, that’s all. You go crying to your daddy every time you get a bruise?”
Ellie fucking doesn’t. Ian bruises her almost everyday, and she never cries.
Someone tries to make Ellie grow up too fast.

Summary
“Duck do?” Ellie asked from her spot in the carrier.
Joel kept a hand on her back as he scrambled eggs. He was half twisted away from the stove to keep her out of kicking distance of the pan, “Quack-quack.”
“Dog do?”
“Woof-woof.”
“Snail do?” She peered up at him expectantly.
“Snails don’t make a sound,” He flicked the burner off and scooped eggs onto the waiting plate.
“Yep,” Ellie brightened, “They do crunch!”

Summary
“Hey.”
The girl’s eyes snapped up, panicked. She spared a second to glance down at the man in front of her, her eyes racing up and then looked at Joel with the exact same type of terror, before emerging with something in her hands.
Joel watched, immediately suspecting a gun. “Whoa, now-”
The girl lifted her hands up, revealing an old knife. She smeared the tears on her cheeks away, trying to seem bigger than she was, but it didn’t work.
She was a terrified kid.
The urgency in Joel’s expression blinked. “Hey,” He repeated, his voice painted soft, though he didn’t let himself hear it. The girl just stared up at him with her knife, not realizing the tremble of her own grip or the violent shakes that tore through her entire, bare body. He just realized that now. Only her knees were covering her, along with the clearly torn pair of underclothes on her lower half. She cringed under his eyes. “It’s okay,” He tried. “I’m not gon’ hurt you.”
The girl didn’t even blink. She just stared up through her tears, terrified of him.
Fuck.
TLDR: Joel finds a traumatized Ellie on the side of the road. He's immediately soft. Meanwhile, she has to learn how to trust him.

Summary
Tommy sighs, scrubbing a hand over his pinched face. He has a pretty good idea about what happened there, and it’s twisting the knife in his heart a full three-sixty. Joel, in pain and delirious with it, stuck twenty years in the past and begging for his baby girl. Probably with a head injury to boot. “My brother has no living children, ma’am. He might be experiencing some confusion.”
“Your brother is unconscious, Mr. Miller. He isn’t experiencing anything at the moment. And I can assure you, the minor in our care is very much alive.”
or:
The story of Ellie and Joel, as told to Tommy, who would have liked to have known he had a niece before it became hugely, urgently relevant. (Modern AU)
