    After being engaged to the same day, the last thing you would expect is for the world to come to an end. Thousands and thousands of infected around you. You believe that the love of your life is gone forever. You try to move on with your life, possibly meeting someone along the way that makes you believe in some sort of love anyway. After over two decades, you end up getting injuries and end up in a town called "Jackson" in Wyoming. Turns out what you believe was truly gone from your life forever is right there in front of you. But it can't be that easy, could it?

    Summary

    Her mouth hangs open, and they stare at each other until she catches herself absently tipping the champagne glass in her hand. She shakes off a little champagne spilled onto her fingers, reaching for a cocktail napkin from a passing server.

    When her gaze returns to his, it burns. The glow of the warm chandelier above them reflects off her irises, and he can swear he sees fire in them.

    ---
    Daisy has lived her whole life fighting battles no one can see. Behind her steady smile lies a fragile secret, a sickness that demands her strength each day and a family that never belived in her dreams. The world has always told her she's too weak, too naive, too small to matter.

    When the sky burns and everything she knows collapses, Daisy finds herself running through the ruins beside Joel and Tommy.Two men hardened by loss and survival. Together, they navigate the wasteland where hope is rarer than food and trust is a dangerous thing to offer.

    As days blur into nights filled with with silence and fear, Daisy begins to see the cracks in Joel's armor. The moments when his guarded eyes soften, when his voice faltersjust enough to let her in. In a world stripped bare, they find somrthing neither of them expected: a reason to keep moving forward.

    In the shattered world beyond the outbreak, Daisy learns that survival isn't just about fighting death. It's about remembering why you're alive in the first place.

    Summary

    Based on Gabriel Luna’s song: Edge of town
    You are a former skilled firefighter (that never actually fought fire – important to mention!) assigned to work for FEDRA’s Boston QZ after the outbreak. After a traumatic event, you became one of the most tyrant FEDRA soldiers. Eventually you get closer to the smuggler Tommy Miller - someone that was once a hero for you, but has no idea of it. You both will start a post apocalypse Romeo and Juliette romance. Lies, love, betrayal, moral choices among nights of wild love. An enemy to lovers (or lovers-to-enemies?) that asks what you both will sacrifice for love, ideals and survival.

    Summary

    It's a classic slow-burn (very slow-burn) Joel x OC story. It follows the main plot of the videogame and HBO series, but I will add many new parts and dynamics (and I will write an entirely new part in Jackson, I still have to decide if I'll continue it here or write a sequel).

    It's not a x reader fic just because I'm not good at writing using the "you" pronoun, but I've decided to be very vague about the OC appearance, also her age. So feel free to imagine yourself there :)

    In short, Anne and Joel are not exactly on good terms, but they are forced to work together again.

    Summary

    Joel is a simple man. He goes to work, he takes care of his kindergarten age daughter, he tries to make sure Tommy doesn't die and occasionally Tess comes over. He works on Bill and Frank's farm with Tommy, Tess. For his birthday, Tommy drags Joel out to a local grunge band's show, music he knows Joel hates. Joel is surprised to find Tess's girlfriends best friend, a girl they all call Blue because of the blue in her hair, has caught his attention.

    What he doesn't know is she is trans. When he finds out, he's very confused, not because he judges her, but because he's not sure what it means for him. Does it make him gay? What does trans even mean? He's very confused. Still, despite all the confusion Joel has an open mind and he just knows that he has a lot of feelings for you and he wants to try. Joel goes on a journey of learning, not only what your trans identity means but also how to take care of himself, how to set boundaries, and learning he doesn't need carry the whole world on his shoulders.

    Joel loves country, is as yeehaw as they come. Blue loves grunge, and looking as edgy as she can get by as a school teacher. Can you and Joel make it all work with the one thing that bonds them both together; flannel?

    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?

    Summary

    The job is simple: move the girl, get paid, stay alive. It should’ve been another run—guns, ration cards, maybe a few bodies along the way. Joel Miller’s done worse for less. She’s just trying to keep her head down and her secret buried. When the Fireflies come calling, and the job becomes something they can’t undo, it stops being about who makes it out alive and starts being about who they become getting there.

    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’.
