Summary
Jay looked over his shoulder at the vastness he'd staggered through, lost, his heart racing and his mouth full of blood. He looked back at them, and although the men's expressions were cautious, cold, unchanging, one of their hands slipped subtly into his belt. Jay recognized the gleam of the gun and didn't know why.
"Please, Agent Walker," they asked, but it wasn't a plea, it wasn't a favor. Jay couldn't see their eyes behind their dark glasses. "Don't make this any harder."
This doesn't feel right, was his last thought, the only coherent thread that had been repeated throughout this conversation with these strangers in suits. Jay looked over his shoulder again, overcome by that inexplicable dread, ice in his blood. He didn't know why; he knew he had to run, but he didn't know which way.
So he turned his back on the way he came and followed the agents back into the building.
Or: How Jay survives the merge alone, and how he discovers he doesn't have to anymore.

Summary
Over her jacket, in a fun contrast, she wore a rather old yellow pin. With a blue silhouette in a zigzag that barely had any shape. And he wouldn't have noticed that detail if it weren't for the fact that the ornament was eerily familiar, something iconic that he had seen many times before on the news. His mind didn't finish connecting the dots before she spoke again.
"For being dressed in fruit-colored pajamas, you and your friend are hard to find." She commented, and it was actually more of a teasing tone than anything else. Funny almost, like she was trying to irritate him more than anything.
Or: Arin gets lost in the Administration while the agents chase him. Along the way he meets a strange girl who is wearing a very familiar yellow pin. Things get complicated from there.

Summary
“Jay’s in the next room,” he replied calmly, and noticing her obvious panic, he approached slowly. “He’s fine now. We called a doctor from here to see you as soon as possible.” Then he frowned in concern, his hands clenched as he looked over her shoulder with a frown. He seemed uneasy, downright nervous if Kaida had to guess. “You two look like you’ve been through a lot…”
Kaida grimaced, her hands tightening against the sheets. Something caught her eye, and she couldn’t help but blurt out.
“Do you know him?” she asked, narrowing her eyes at them.
And he chuckled, giving her another reassuring smile, which, if Kaida had been more awake, she would have noticed sooner how similar it was to Jay’s.
“Well, yeah,” he said simply, nodding. “We’re his parents, actually.”

Summary
“I found this in town. Apparently someone had thrown it away,” Zane explained. Or someone had forgotten about it. All he had seen was the console sticking out of the shiny, hard snow, and when he’d approached it, he’d expected it to be unusable. As broken as its age indicated. “This model was very popular years ago.”
“Ages ago, you mean,” the boy commented as he tried one of the joysticks experimentally. He probably expected Zane to scold him for touching it. “I’ve never played with these things, the new games are more fun. Are you sure it still works?”
Zane shrugged. Truth be told, he preferred playing with others over modern games as well, he didn't find the older games particularly challenging or engaging. He didn't have years of memories and nostalgia from playing such a classic either, the first video games he'd ever played were the fighting games that Jay and Cole had taught him when he'd first arrived at the monastery and that was it.
But he had found this thing in the cold, it would be a shame if something so valuable, something so old, were to be forgotten just like that when it could still be useful.

Summary
And then someone opened the door, making a preamble while holding a wad of crumpled papers in one hand and waving them reflexively in dismissal to the other agents. Unlike them, he was wearing a black suit, a loosely knotted blue tie, tall and thin, his reddish hair shooting out in all directions, and talking a mile a second while gesturing wildly in the air.
Pixal's eyes widened in shock as she recognized him. It couldn't be.
“Sorry those idiots bothered you, I hope you haven’t said anything to them until now. I for one was never a fan of the demolition crew, always so eager to burn any trash they find”, he gave her a wry smile while chuckling with a cocky air. “You’re lucky I stopped them.”
“What?” she stammered, her harsh words almost seeming to echo around the room. “J-Jay?”
“I am Agent Jay Walker, manager of the Department of Reassignment. And I regret to inform you, that by the all- encompassing authority of the Administration, you have been detained as illegal equipment until further notice.”
OR: Pixal meets Jay in the Administration a few years before the events of DR

Summary
It was only visible for a moment. Caught somewhere between a blinding glow and deafening snap, Jordana saw laces of energy unravelling from flesh, lurching and weaving and alive. It was captivating like nothing had ever been before. She wondered what it felt like to wield pure unbridled energy, to live fast-paced and self-assured. There was no hesitation from master nor element. She didn’t even have time to see it claw into Ras’ arm before he and the man were several feet apart, surroundings fading back to their usual sickly green.
And though the lightning had died down, the electricity was still palpable. The man’s hair was still raised like an agitated animal’s, lifted by an invisible charge.
Ras stayed unmoving, but the glint in his eyes exposed his fixation. He would not leave such insolence unpunished.
...
Or;
Jay dies and Jordana pays the price.Series

Summary
The portraits stared back at him, framed in the most beautiful of flowers.
They bore no resemblance to anyone he had ever seen before.
After turning a corner, a wave of nausea slammed into him. The noise of The Crossroads became a soft blur in his ears, replaced by the sound of his own racing heart.
Among the other portraits, adorned with the same flowers under soft candlelight, was a portrait of himself.
AKA: Jay's life in the Administration, and how he escaped.

Summary
She’s gonna catch a cold, his currently not working mind repeated, and he took that as his clue to get out and lie in his bed until sleep came from sheer force of will.
He’d done his part of the work, anyway, certainly enough to get the damned ration card.Despite the cold, making his lungs burn with the effort of breathing, it would have been a good day, if Joel had dragged his sore ass right back to his shitty home, and not to the kid carrying debris and the certainty of a fucking cold.
“Ki-“ like a deer caught in the headlights, she bolted, quicker than the blink of an eye, and the day would have been good if her memory had left with her.
Now he was alone, soaked wet, cold, tired, and doing nothing in the jobsite, and remembering fucking memories.
Without giving the universe another thought, he left.Bookmarked by Taddy_Masson

Summary
“Her name is Ellie,” she says, eyes still on the sweet, slumbering child. “Take care of her. Don’t fuck this up, Joel.”
He doesn’t respond, just watches until Marlene is gone and moves to lock the door once more, knowing it’s probably about to be a long night with very little sleep.
Glancing down at the baby – Ellie – Joel releases a slow breath. “Looks like it’s just you and me, kid.”
Fucking hell, he’s got his work cut out for him.

(Joel raises Ellie. Some things change while others stay the same. A journey from Boston to Wyoming.)

Summary
"You need food, Rocket. Worse than me. A hell of a lot worse than me, and I'm worried about you. We have water, neither of us are hurt, but both of us will die eventually if we don't eat. And I can hunt down one of those," he said, pointing off into the distance at a four-legged ungulate of some kind, grazing on the tough grass.
"Neither of us have any weapons, genius. You're gonna just run up to it and crack it on the head with a rock?"
"No," Peter said. "I'm gonna run it down and slit its throat."
