Summary
After being expelled from the Denver QZ, Ollie wanders the ruins of North America in search of purpose — and a place to belong. Once a medical student before the world fell apart, they now trade their skills for survival, driven by the hope of finding a community that still values life.

Months later, fate throws them together again on the road to Jackson. Trust is hard-won in Joel’s world, but necessity keeps them in each other's orbit. As survival blurs into something more personal, Ollie must decide whether their bond is built on circumstance… or something deeper.
A slow-burn Joel Miller romance. Survival, trust, and desire in a world that’s already ended.

Summary
Slow burn Ellabs set in Jackson while Ellie learns to forgive Joel.
-
Held back by Owen’s arms Abby thrashed. Her sobs echoed in the surgical suite as fellow mourning Fireflies looked on. She begged her father to stand but Dr. Anderson remained bleeding, unmoving. As she stilled, her cries caught in her throat and she forced the words out. "Who would do this?”
-
Evidently, no one could tell her. After piecing together the available information, all she knew was that she was looking for a male smuggler. Not much to go off. Someone said he came from Boston, like Marlene. Someone else said the guy was from a settlement in Jackson.
-
After joining the WLF, Abby threw herself into her training and her purpose as a soldier. To push away her guilt, every Scar she slaughtered or tortured, she saw as her father's killer. It felt like enough, until 5 years passed and she finally got a new lead, causing her to uproot her old Firefly crew to track down the smuggler.
Mostly according to video game canon, some borrowed details from the TV show. Canon diverges after Abby and Owen's fight before Jackson. -

Summary
It’s 2013. Ten years ago the world ended, and people coped with the outbreak any way they could— mostly with drugs, alcohol and sex.
Self destruction wasn't unfamiliar to Joel, but Cam definitely pushed the definition to the limit. And damn it, Tess was right: he can’t help himself when he sees her do another line, or skip another meal.
He wanted to save her, even if she didn't want to be saved by him. Even if she didn’t want anything out of him besides sex. Even if he didn’t want to save himself.——
Or: the fic where Joel gets tangled up in the messiest situation of his life. A love triangle between Joel, Tess and the reader, with a bittersweet ending.
Reader has a name and struggles with an eating disorder as well as other shit (check tags) so please feel free to not read this if it triggers you in any way. -

Summary
You met Joel when he was 29.
You had just moved to Texas, to live with your aunt and your sick grandfather, after your parents death, leaving you mired in debt and complications with the courts.
Few years later, when he needed someone to take care of Sarah so he can go to work, you didn't think twice to accept the offer. You just didn't know it would tie you to the Millers, even after the end of the world.
20 years later, you've just arrived in Jackson with Ellie, in search of information about Tommy and the Fireflies, when during a conversation with Maria, you finally realize what you've neglected for so long.
What you can feel in the silence.
And that you could no longer ignore.
So with a surge of courage, you went to Joel Miller to tell him the truth and make a wish to him.

Summary
Joel had always trusted in names.
Parent. Friend. Partner. Lover.
Names drew lines, and if you stayed within them, you stayed decent.
But Ellie never fit into any of those lines.
To her, the man who stood by her the longest had shifted roles again and again in her heart — until a birthday surprise stripped away the fog and showed her where she truly stood.When her feelings come into focus, Joel is caught between desire and restraint, truth and lies. The ghost of Salt Lake threatens to tip everything into ruin, forcing Joel to choose: walk away, or fight for something new.
He just never expected how fierce Ellie’s anger — or her jealousy — could burn.
