    Summary

    Figuring out who you are, apart from the weight of everyone’s assumptions, your past as an ex B-list celebrity hero, and your estranged dysfunctional family is hard, if not impossible as is.

    Add in trust issues and a gaping loneliness that only seems to grow day by day, and now you’re pretty much just going through the motions of a life you'd once hoped was your ticket to happiness.

    Still, though, if it’s any consolation, the cute neighborhood guy you have a thing for also just so happens to be the new hire at work… And he might understand where you’re coming from a little too well.

    Summary

    You've got a problem: you want your sort-of-boss. He has a terrible name, he's a retired hero, and you're pretty sure that your actual boss might have feelings for him, and yet you can't manage to get him out of your head. And the unexpected friendship you've made with him over lunch certainly isn't helping your case, either.

    Summary

    Renee?”

    Her name, her first name, escaped him like a long-unanswered question as the glass shattered on the floor. The chatter around them stopped, and she didn’t have to look at the other patrons to know all eyes were on them. But she didn’t even have the inclination to feel the discomfort of it—not when this Elliott Witt seemed to be experiencing all seven stages of grief as he gaped at her.

    What, exactly, had she gotten herself into?

    “Elliott…” She didn’t know why she said his name back. He’d used hers, though, and perhaps on some level it felt right, but not when followed with, “Do we know each other?”

    Summary

    The world is swimming, the tops of the buildings blurring into the wispy gray sky. The taste of copper floods his mouth. He's flat on his back, the rough, wet pavement biting into his skin through his shirt, and Tess looms over him, grinding her boot into his chest, pinning him in place.

    “You are not fucking doing this."

    --

    Slight AU: Tommy never leaves the Fireflies. He still heads west, assigned to help establish their newest base and protect their most essential asset - a scientist who thinks he can develop a "cure." Even without his help, Joel and Ellie manage to find their way to Salt Lake City.

    Some things change, while others stay exactly the same.

    [Complete.]
