Summary
You awoke when the sunlight filtering through the dusty window finally made its way to your face, but you didn’t rise peacefully. You were supposed to leave Jackson at dawn with Joel and Ellie, and Joel must’ve slept in. Panic set in as you threw your arms across the bed, reaching for Joel, only to find the sheets cold and empty.
Your eyes finally ripped open and you were indeed alone.
~~~~~~~
Set in an alternate timeline where Joel isn't forced to kill the fireflies and therefore there is no reason for the emotional damage of the second game to occur! I just want my dad/daughter duo to be happy!!

The winter air flushes your cheeks, but you’re not cold. How could anyone be cold when working this hard? You arrived in Jackson with your dad a couple months prior, having been through absolute hell.
You try not to think about it.
Jackson was paradise. Especially compared to what’s out there. There’s food, shelter, warm water, and the people are amazing.
Well, most of the people. -

Summary
After being rescued from the brink of death, you start anew in Jackson. It doesn't take long for you to settle in, finding your place in the town as a midwife and baker. A few years into your new life, Tommy's brother shows up at the gates with a young girl. They continue on their journey before returning several months later, something having brought them back from their destination. Joel and Ellie move into the home across from you. You like Ellie, but worry about what happened on the trip that's made her so withdrawn. You like Joel as well, more than you probably should. When he's assigned to help you with the heavy lifting at the bakery, you begin to grow close with him. For years, you'd been convinced that love might not be for you, but Joel makes you second guess that conclusion.
Rated M for sexual content and canon-typical infected violence
