Summary
This might be a fluke. It could be stress and grief and age. It could be menopause. It might. He was never that regular to begin with, so that's no help. He'd just been stretching his T too thin and now everything it had been holding off for so many years was crashing down on him all at once.
But it might not be. It could be more.
It could be some part of Tess that he gets to keep.
Joel leaves Boston with Ellie and much more than he bargained for
Or:
The T4T Joel and Tess oops, right? fic
PSA: To be cringe is to be free, the tags are accurate, so you know exactly what you're getting into. Hoping to update weekly.

I need my empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology by Fiachra
Fandoms: The Last of Us (TV)

Summary
He looks up, when she gasps and tightens her grip on his hair, and it's like he sees right through her, past all the bullshit, and any other day or time or person she'd close up, recoil in horror and at the intensity of been seen like that.
But she looks back, because she sees in that look that he sees her, not who she used to be, not some fantasy, her. He's touching her, not using her as an alternative for anyone else.
It's in that moment, as she comes in his mouth and he doesn't pull away, that she realises she's undeniably, irreversibly, fucked.
Tess, before and after the end of the world

Summary
The urge to change pushes at him, forceful. Once he does, he won’t feel this, human emotions and thinking dulled. Usually he welcomes it, slips into that form of primal oblivion with the desperation of an opioid addict seeking the fog of morphine. Anything to ease the pain of his existence.
Ellie shrieks. The moon pulls at him, and he gasps, squeezes her hand. He feels her feebly squeeze back.
He can’t give in to the wolf now, fights to stay, for once.
“Ellie”, he rasps, in the precious few seconds when he knows with surety that he’s going to lose, seconds where all he’s sure of is that he’s going to fail another child, as he feels his vocal chords shift, his face elongate into a muzzle, “I’m still here, okay? It’s alright, I’m – “The Last of Us but with werewolves

His daughter, his baby, looking at the dead body of the thing that had chased them at their feet and the blood dripping down her arm. Looking at them for reassurance.
“I’ll be okay, right?”
Joel looks at Tommy, sees the answer in his shattered face, the rifle he’d used to put a bullet in that thing’s head just a second too late loose in his hands.Sarah is bitten as they try to escape Austen. What kind of father would Joel be if he left her?

Summary
"Ellie wonders if teenage girls are supposed to be this full of rage, to have it simmer and ready to boil over at any time. She wonders if Joel was the same, if he’s carried his rage since he was her age. She wonders if it’s a relief for him to have the excuse to unleash it as violence."
Ellie adjusts to Jackson and family life while also being a teenage lesbian, which despite the apocalypse is still a challenge. At least Joel has been there.
(Ellie is a lesbian, Joel is a trans man. Surviving turns to living.)

Summary
"The man who nearly kills him in Kansas City is practically a child. Then Ellie shoots him. Joel’s job is to soothe suffering. Technically, killing him counts.
The boy pleads, it hurts in a way that it hasn’t in a while. Joel tries to tell himself that it’s not because Ellie sees the whole thing.
“It wasn’t my first time,” she says.
For the first time in years, it hurts deep in his chest that children have to be so familiar with Death so soon. It reminds him of the 14th Century. He fucking hated the 14th Century."Joel used to be the Guardian of Doomed Children. But that was before the apocalypse broke out across Heaven, Hell, and Earth.

Summary
“If I only could, I’d make a deal with God,” she hums.
“Let’s exchange the experience,” he says.
“That’s not what comes next.”
No, he thinks, I know all the words. Maybe I could sing it for you, someday.He and Tess are the same. That means they stick together. That means they understand each other. That means they care for each other. Maybe even love each other.

Summary
Infected are dying, the news says.
Bodies slumping to the ground, curling into a foetal position, the human hosts finally at rest. The fungus continuing to grow, forming a silhouette of the old host when the body finally crumbles into the embrace of the earth, fungal cups and caps and oddest of all, spires reaching towards the sky. Like how humans reached for the stars before she was born.The world is changing once again. Ellie talks to the fungus in her brain.
One day it talks back.

Summary
“Sarah’s dad?”
“Her other dad.” He clarifies. Saying things about himself this way is still challenging, but he’s trying. It helps that Ellie is scarily perceptive.
“Ohhh, so you were like – “ she pulls her jacket out in front of her, “ – knocked up?”
The first thing Joel is teaching her when they get back to Jackson is tact.
“Not my preferred use of term, but yes.”

Summary
“You and It died at the same time.”
Eddie’s heart stops, as if replaying the moment. When it starts again, it sounds like it’s playing a tattoo against his ribs.
The Law of Conservation of Energy:, his brain supplies helpfully, energy can neither be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.
The implication hangs heavy in the air, like smog. It’s just as suffocating.
(You know the truth, he’s telling the truth, you’re not human anymore Eddie)Or: Eddie doesn't die, exactly, but he's not the same as he was before, and tries to understand what that means.

Summary
"Billy hated how he picked her up so gingerly, when in any other case he’d just pull her against his chest. He hated how holding his daemon, the most natural thing in the world, felt so clumsy and awkward with his new hands. He hated how he could feel Cassi’s heart racing through his fingers, how fragile she felt in his grip."
