    Summary

    In the time between when he took you to now, something changed. His hands grew gentler. Your fear turned quiet. And somewhere in the stillness, love kindled.

    Summary

    It started off as innocently enough. In fact, it started out justified.
    She’d gotten bit. She’d run into a shabby cottage (in the name of recon, of course), with only three bullets left in her gun. She’d missed the first two, but her last shot made impact with the rotting, snarling thing, sending a spray of blood onto the wall behind it. The metal buried into its shoulder, disabling its left arm. Then it pounced on her.
    She hadn’t even been mad about it. She hadn’t taken it out with three tries, it felt only fair that it got at least one shot at her in return.
    It sunk its rotting teeth into her shoulder, the acrid stench of the thing curling into her nostrils. It growled, teeth clamping down as it shivered at the taste.
    The second she saw the non-existent glow of flames, her knife was buried in its head. The fun was gone now.

    Summary

    Suddenly, the older woman steps back and plunges the heel of her boot into the pumpkin, orange flesh exploding apart like a skull cracking open, and examines the contents closely. The adults closest begin to murmur.

    Dina shakes her head. “Looks like it’s rotted.”

    Images of decomposing flesh covered in fungi flicker through Ellie. “What does that mean?”

    Dina shrugs, her eyes glancing back to her row of sprouts. “It means the plants are bad. Probably root rot from the rain. Stops the plant from growing properly.”

    “Is that- are all the plants in trouble?” Ellie’s heart ricochets uncomfortably in her chest.

    “It’s probably fine. We always have a few years where a bit too much rain comes through and ruins some of our crops.” Her friend tries to sound reassuring, but all Ellie can see is emaciated men in a cold room in Silver Lake, a cleaver held above her arm, and dead bodies strung up like slaughtered animals.

    Summary

    Blood.

    It was fanning out under Ellie’s body, taking her and claiming her like cordyceps. After a few endless seconds, she moved in it, curled up, and then immediately whimpered as a result; the knife in her stomach had twisted.

    The sound was what broke Joel out. “Ellie,” Her name fell out. Before he even knew what he was doing, he sprinted forward and then crashed right back down, scooping his arms underneath Ellie’s body. “Ellie. Oh, God.” When he moved her, the knife shifted, too, and she cried out; a sharp wince claimed his face, like a gunshot had gone off. Had it? His eyes lifted up, searching for a soldier’s flashlight.

    Sarah?

    No.

    A different baby bleeding out on him, again his fault.

    TLDR: Ellie gets hurt at the university instead of Joel. Going into winter with this change! Lots of angst and hurt/comfort <3

    Summary

    Ellie Williams was going to die, all by herself, in a forest clearing, under a bright blue sky, without a soul knowing. Alone, all alone, not even some beautiful final vision of the one person that cared enough to break the world for her, that was her fate. As her vision faded, as breath grew impossible, and the pain finally dissolved into nothingness, Ellie’s final thought was ‘this is how I end’.
