    Summary

    This was a chance to take a break and explore. There's no Imperial presence on this planet.

    Technically, that's not a lie.

    He runs a hand through his hair and finally calls the Mantis.

    “Hey, Cere, I found something. It looks like the entrance to an old Imperial facility. It’s built into the mountain.”

    “Interesting that nothing came up on my scans. Is there a landing pad nearby?”

    “Nope. Also, there’s no way to get here on foot unless you really, really like climbing.” He pauses. “And jumping. And getting covered in mud.”

    “…Cal,” she sighs in exasperation. “I told you to turn back if that happened, and now you’re at an Imperial base.”

    “It’s not a base, if that helps.”

    “It doesn’t.”

    “I got curious,” Cal says with a shrug. Cere mutters something that sounds suspiciously like, I should’ve known. “Can’t get back the same way I came, though. It was a bit tricky getting here in the first place. I’m going to have to go through the facility. Looks pretty abandoned. I’m sure it’s fine.”

    “Famous last words!” Greez shouts.

    NOW with ART in the endnotes!!!

    Summary

    Joel and Ellie arrive in Jackson ready to live, not just survive, but it isn’t all smooth sailing. When Tommy first arrived in Jackson and thought he’d never see his brother again he confessed all his, and Joel’s, sins for everyone to judge. That, combined with the state Ellie is in when Joel and Ellie arrive, means Jackson wants to take Ellie away from Joel and find her “proper” parents.

    Joel and Ellie don’t want to separate, but neither of them are ready to get back on the road just yet. Ellie endures family after family trying to make her stay while Joel experiences a fear over 20 years old: being separated from his daughter and fighting for custody.

    Both of them have to define what they mean to each other after, and if Jackson can be their home after all.
