Summary
She returned to Jackson not as a protector, but as a ghost—silent, belonging neither to the world of the living nor to the realm of the dead. Her presence is a whisper in the empty alleys, a shadow that follows you even when no one is there. She brought not aid, but a quiet threat, for where Ellie walks, old fears blossom and pains that were better left buried are awakened. Her fight is not with external enemies, but with her own reflection in the eyes of those who once knew her, and every step she takes is a reminder: some wounds never heal; they only lie in wait, ready to be reopened.

Summary
After the events of 'Lone Wolf,' Joel's managed to get Ellie recovering and keep her safe in Jackson, where he's fighting for them to have a home and a life. However, as much as Ellie loves Joel, she feels responsible for the whole world because of her immunity - and thus, when the Fireflies come, she wants to go.
But Joel? Joel, who only just got his daughter - his still-injured twelve-year-old daughter - and the opportunity to keep her safe? No, of course he doesn't like that.
But he loves her, and when the time comes, he's willing to follow her to the ends of the earth.
Even if it means bad things are going to happen.

Summary
When an Omega is in severe distress, it's obvious - they become unable to eat, their scent shifts into something achingly sweet, and their throat punches out mournful chirps, all designed to attract pack members and mates to the Omega's aid, designed for the pack to spoon-feed and carry and cuddle and coddle the Omega. This is called a drop. Since Joel's murder, Ellie's been in that state twice - once when she had Dina, Jesse, and Tommy to watch over her and take care of her as they hunted down Abby, and then again now as she hunts Abby down on her own. But now she's alone. Her pack is completely gone, Jesse dead and Dina and Tommy despising her, Ellie even being kept away from her own pup, JJ. This state has gone on for months and no help is coming as Ellie becomes borderline catatonic.
Until Abby finds Ellie at death's door, and it doesn't matter if Ellie hates her, what kind of Alpha would she be to let an Omega suffer like that? Of course she has to treat the girl who wants her dead like she were Abby's own mate, recruiting Owen and Mel to help bring the little Omega back - what else is there to do?
(And even more important a question: is that situation the truth? Or is it just a dream?)

Queued up — Ellie version by Mothdustletters

Summary
Ellie thought SGU would just be another city, another school to survive. Classes, late-night calls with Noah, maybe a shot at the esports team — nothing she couldn’t handle. But when a roommate she didn’t ask for offers coffee, bagels, and judgments she didn’t deserve, Ellie finds herself orbiting a world she doesn’t quite trust.
A mirror of runBMCwrites’ Queued up, this is Ellie’s side of the story: sharp edges, quiet nights, and the slow, reluctant pull of connection.
Shout out to runBMCwrites to let me write Ellie's side of her/his fanfic. I hope I made your Ellie justice. Tried to keep dialogue pure and unmoving. Same with Ellie's choices in the day. Got big plans for this Ellie.

Summary
A bright glow blinds his vision, a headache starting to bloom.
Atreus is falling.
At least it feels like it.
Falling through realms, universes, the sky, an endless pit, a tunnel with no end.
Golden light, much like giant magic, mixed with the white of it all smashed together in a chaotic mess his eyes simply cannot handle.
He hits the ground.
*
or Atreus travels to the last of us universe and chaos ensues.

Summary
I always thought it was odd that you could cut up, blow up, arrow down more people than Frank Castle and walk away from it smelling like roses because you had a moment of inner peace. So I kind of wanted to explore what would become of a person when they dedicate their entire mind to killing another person, blow through an army of people while hunting that person, and then let them go. What residue is left? What stains on the soul are left behind? How crazy would someone who believed their purpose was to die be after they find a new purpose only too lose that to. Join me as I clumsily explore 4 years after that fateful day on the beach.

Summary
Ellie Miller has spent twenty years building a life she can stand. She produces records in Nashville, owns a condo, and has her name tucked into liner notes. Her routine is set: late nights in the studio, crowded music halls, and just enough distance from Silverlake to pretend it never really mattered.
Then one call pulls her home to where she’s needed, back into the town she gave up on long ago. Silverlake is waiting with the gym she refuses to walk into, the twenty-year reunion emails she keeps deleting, and the people she has avoided for more than half her life. Most of all Dina, the ghost she has never been able to outrun. Will Ellie discover that not everything in Silverlake was what it seemed, and that even broken bonds can be mended into something stronger than before?

Is this what they call a fresh start? Leaving everything behind just to find something better? If so, you’ve probably erased your past almost entirely.
Here you are – a newcomer to Jackson, with nothing but your backpack and so much to do and learn. Could be worse, right? -

Summary
She leans into the pain, gasping, till it centers her, till her mind clears, till the ghosts of her childhood - as brief and tempestuous as it was - are shuttered away.
Still though, their words echo dimly in the far corners of her mind. This is what happens when you get close to people, they say. This is what happens when you let your guard down.
She shudders, pushes off of the wall. The thermos tumbles from its perch and falls the long way to the ground, banging tinnily against a rock or a tree root or something. Ellie curses and wipes her hair out of her eyes, leans over to see where it landed-
-and freezes, her breath suddenly cold in her chest.
At the edge of the woods, cloaked in the sage lace dripping from the boughs of the sheltering cottonwoods, something is watching her, its eyes gleaming luridly in the electric light of the coming storm.
*
There is something in the woods outside of Jackson.

Summary
Ellie is tired. Fuck, she's exhausted. The patrol had been an arduous one, and she'd fought with Dina which never failed to make her stomach squirm uneasily. All she wanted right now, quite frankly, was a hot shower and her bed.
But when she gets home and sees Joel at the kitchen table, head in his hands and panting frantically as he tries to contain a panic attack, she pushes it all aside and rushes to comfort him.
* This is my first fic and will be quite short, please read it if you have a moment!! I'd really appreciate any feedback :) *
