Summary
Prompt from the kink meme: Daryl is wary around the men of the group because his father and brother liked to use their fists. He flinches away from the women because even though his mother never laid a hand on him in anger, her touch used to be just as unwelcome.
Warning: This fic contains mentions of and allusions to sexual abuse of a minor. Do not read this if these issues are upsetting to you.

Summary
“Expect signs of PTSD,” the social worker warned him, “Extreme mood swings, risky behavior, aggression, and self-harm are all things to look out for. I would recommend counseling.”
Severus hasn’t seen any of that yet. Harry is extremely polite, neat, and personable. He likes gardening and football. He helps make grocery lists and cook dinner.
He knows there is more: clues that he’s missing and behaviors he’s overlooking, hints that Harry is struggling more that he’s letting on, but overall, Harry seems remarkably well-adjusted. It’s unnerving.
Because Severus knows that Harry spent a significant portion of his childhood confined to a single cupboard under the stairs. He knows that Harry was not fed consistently and did not have clean clothes that fit him. That he was hit.
By all accounts, Harry should be struggling. In the eight years since Severus first met Harry as an infant, his parents died, he was raised in an abusive household, and then forced to live with an estranged family friend he didn’t remember.
It worries Severus that he’s not seeing it, like Harry could be drowning right in front of him and he wouldn’t even know.

Summary
As he pulled his hands away, Ellie stirred slightly. She rolled over, instinctively seeking the warmth, and rested her head heavily in his lap.
Joel froze. Every protective wall he had built over the last two decades told him to move. But he didn’t move. He looked down at her small face, completely peaceful in sleep, and he found that he didn’t mind the weight of her head on his thigh.
The whiskey fuzz had been gone for hours. He was completely, painfully sober. As the clock on the desk quietly ticked past midnight, signaling the start of September 26th, a heavy realization settled over him. For the first time in twenty years, Joel wasn’t sitting alone in a dark room, getting filthy drunk. He was sober and keeping a little girl safe.
TLDR: Joel is a FEDRA officer. Twenty years of apocalypse have made him cold-blooded. He's supposed to be cruel. But he crosses paths with a "troubled" eight-year-old girl who changes him for the better.

Summary
Sarah Miller is, without a doubt, a daddy’s girl.
She never stood a chance, really. It’s always been just her and her father. Her mama died when she was just a baby, so young she couldn’t remember her face if she tried. And Daddy never brought home no girls from the bars or giggly waitresses like Uncle Tommy used to before he met Aunt Maria.
Never in her life has she had to share him.
That is, until Daddy comes home late on Thursday evening with news for Sarah.
(Ellie is a foster kid- Joel and Sarah take her in)

Summary
She starts making small sounds, close to cooing. They’re not nearly as loud as her crying, thank god, but it would be better if she didn’t make any noises at all, like the rest of her peers.
“You don’t got any sense, do you?” Joel mutters, receiving a gurgling sound that’s likely not directed at him.
Joel realizes, much to his horror, that he once came across Ellie almost 15 years ago.
