Summary
"But as Joel wheeled her out of the hospital and helped her into the passenger seat of a musty old truck and told her they were finally going back to Jackson with this bone-tired relief on his face, she decided that whatever she was to Joel mattered after all. It mattered a whole fucking lot.
Because whatever she was to him had earned her all these sweet little things while they were stuck in Salt Lake, and all those little things started making her believe stupid things—that she was important to him, that he liked having her around, that he…
In weaker moments, all those little things made her think that maybe he wanted her.
But then she’d remember those words. The way his voice had been colder than the day they’d met, when she was nothing but cargo for him to carry against his will. She’d gotten so used whatever it was they were until he went and said those stupid fucking words.
"You aren’t my daughter, and I sure as hell ain’t your dad."
And suddenly, on the drive to somewhere that she wanted more than anything to call home, nothing made sense anymore."
Or, Ellie learning how to be part of a family in all the ways that matter

Summary
“If you’re interested, the shade is 644 Sydney,” Klavier told him, probably just to make conversation. Apollo didn’t tell him that he’d known it was between 644 Sydney and 720 Icone. He didn’t tell him that he’d been driven to the brink of insanity and made the awful mistake of researching Dior the first time he’d seen the case in Klavier’s hand. He didn’t tell him that at this point it was an obsession, and treating every new shade like an investigation was the only way for him to keep his head on straight.
In fact, he didn’t tell him anything at all.
So Klavier kept wearing lipstick and Apollo kept thinking about it. He’d scroll through the catalogue of products and organize them by color and finish while his mind wandered to what they felt like. Would Klavier’s lips feel different against his own with a velvet finish versus a satiny one? Would they feel all that different bare? Which kind of lipstick would stain his skin the most as Klavier kissed his neck? How many kisses would it take to ruin the most long-lasting, kind?
He closed his laptop. This had to stop."
Or, Klavier gets into the habit of wearing lipstick every day and Apollo is really normal about it

Summary
“What, are you worried about lil ole me?” He teased with that smirk that usually had her itching to punch him in the gut and kiss him at the same time. Right now, though, it only doubled her anxiety. It was lopsided in a way that wasn’t playful, and his eyes were unfocused behind the squint of his smile.
“A little, yeah,” she admitted, perhaps a little too easily. Vash blinked at her for a moment, then reached for the back of his head with that sheepish grin he always wore when he was shown some small kindness.
She expected him to brush her off, tell her she didn’t need to concern herself with him, or worse, apologize for making her worry- but he did none of that. Instead, his smile curled into a grimace and he flinched away from his own touch. He dropped his hand and his smile returned as he said something to Meryl but she wasn’t listening.
Because his hand was smeared with blood."
Or, Vash gets bonked on the head, Meryl freaks out, and they have a difficult conversation about how much they mean to each other.

Summary
"Miles gritted his teeth, glaring at the expectant furrow in Wright’s stupid eyebrows. “I‘ll simply contact Gumshoe and let him know I need a ride to the hospital.”
Wright rolled his eyes. “Yeah, no, we’re not roping Gumshoe into this. It’s like a ten minute walk to Hotti Clinic from here, I can manage.”
Miles was still deciding on what to protest- the fact that Wright intended to carry him down the road in full view of the public, or the fact that the absolutely wretched destination was Hotti Clinic- when all of his cognitive thought ceased to be as he was lifted into the air."
Or, Edgeworth can't stop noticing how strong Phoenix is which opens up a whole new reason to fall in love with him all over again.

Summary
“Kid, get the hell outta my tree.”
Stupid fucking neighbors. She’s never even seen the person who lives here before.
“It’s not your tree,” she calls back, infusing her tone with as much attitude as she can muster. “No one owns a tree.” Deep breaths, Ellie. Can’t give away how scared you are, especially not to a stranger. Especially especially not to a man.
“Tree’s on my property. I own the property, so I own the tree. Now scram.”

Summary
It wouldn’t be such a problem if she didn’t have such a massive crush on Dina, a crush that sometimes feels like it might be going somewhere when their eyes meet or Dina does stuff like reaching out to fix her ponytail for her, which sends little sparks of electricity throughout her entire body. They even linked pinkies during the last movie night, when Joel had opted out to go play poker with Tommy at the bar so she hadn’t been sitting next to him for once.
She wants to tell him so badly, wants to include him in this part of her life. She knows from other kids that they don’t usually tell their parents who they like, at least not until they’re dating or something, but Joel’s the person she wants to tell everything to. He’s always her first stop after a successful hunt or a good grade on a test or the highest score at archery practice. She wants to tell him about Dina, wants to be able to bring Dina around him. She likes being at home more than she likes most things, and she wants to be able to have Dina over in the place that she likes the most. She wants to pull Dina into game night with them and Tommy and Maria, wants to slowly knit her into their little family.

Summary
“Do a trick.”
She blinks, more than slightly startled, her struggle ceasing for a moment under the force of her bewilderment. In her defense, she’s still being held by a hand that feels like it could snap her wrist like a twig just by squeezing too hard, so she thinks she has a right to be a little confused.
Also the words make no goddamn sense.
“What?” She asks blankly, giving another testing tug against the hold. No dice. His grip doesn’t go tighter, but neither is he anywhere close to letting go.
“You’re out here doing magic and shit so you can steal from the crowd, right? Do some magic if you want the money.”
She gives him an incredulous look.
“Dude, I just tried to,” she’s suddenly aware that they are in public and that she and Riley will likely need this section of the park in the future, “rob you,” she says in a low hiss. “And now what? You want a fucking show?”
“You want the money? You ain’t stealing it from me. Do a trick and earn it, fair and square.”
(modern verse AU in which joel and ellie meet after she tries to pickpocket him)

Summary
“Tommy’s here,” she informs him, sitting at their table and leaning forward to rest her head on her crossed arms. She’s not dizzy so much now, but she still gets tired easily.
“He brought food,” Joel responds, holding up a container before he puts it in the fridge.
“He’s still here,” she continues, and Joel just gives her a bemused little smile.
“Is he not meant to be?”
It’s said as a joke, but she barely resists the urge to frown. This is their house now. She doesn’t like the idea of Tommy just…existing inside it, especially when she’s not around.
Too much time for talking and catching up that way.
Too much time for letting Joel remember better days with a better kid.
