    Summary

    It's been five months, eleven days, twelve hours and twenty two minutes since Grace arrived on Erid. The Beatles are on their way back to Earth, he has a job as a teacher again, the Eridians are so incredibly nice to him, he gets to hang out with Rocky all the time, and things are going very well.

    Ignoring the fact that they won't know for upwards of two decades whether or not the Beatles have made it back to Earth. Ignoring the fact that sometimes Grace feels so lonely that all he can do is sit on the beach and stare out at the fake horizon until he can breathe again. But one day, all of that changes when an Eridian space ship brings back... another human?

    Summary

    “Shit,” Joel swore, walking around the truck to Ellie’s side. “Kid?”

    “‘M a little busy,” Ellie spat, coughing weakly as she wrapped her arms around her midsection. “Try again later. Leave a message at the–”

    “Ellie,” Joel called out, a hand coming to rest on her shoulder. He frowned at the heat he could feel through her shirt. “You’ve got a fever.”

    “That would explain the overwhelmingly shitty feeling.”

    or, Ellie got sick when she barely knew Joel. And then, she got sick, again, when she very much knew Joel.

    Summary

    “You are not replaceable, I am not temporary.” He’s holding her face in his hands, wiping away the tears that try to fall from the corner of her eyes.

    She’s had a shit childhood, one he wishes with every fiber of his being, he could replace for her.

    He can do this, though. Be here for her now.

    “Look at me kiddo, I know you are not Sarah, and I don’t need you to be. I need you to be Ellie; funny, brave, and so goddamn smart, Ellie.” His heart tugs painfully in his chest as her face screws up in an anguished expression.

    “You are enough just as you are, and anybody who tells you different will find themselves laid out for spit’n that kind of bullshit at my kid.” He tucks her into his chest as the first broken sobs burst past her lips.

    She might be eighteen, a legal adult, but she’s still just a kid looking for the comfort of a parent.

    Something she’s never had before. He’ll be that for her, if she’ll let him.

    From now until the earth claims him.


    Another modern/western vibe. After Ellie ages out of foster care in Boston, she greyhounds it out to Wyoming to work at Miller Ranch, where Joel is waiting in that dad shape of his.

    Summary

    “This is private property.”

    Her head snaps up, eyes narrowed as her lips curl into a snarl. “No shit? I thought this was a public fucking park.”

    Joel levels a glare at the kid as he loads the washer. “It ain’t. These machines are for residents, not runaways.”

    “I’m not a fucking runaway,” she snaps, squaring her shoulders and drawing her backpack closer. “And I am a resident. Kid of the week for the Jenkins. You know, the people who live in 3E?”

    “And the Jenkins have you down here doin’ laundry after school every day?” he asks with incredulity.

    She glances around the room, a uniquely teenage disdain in her sneer as she surveys the silent machines. “Obviously.”
