Summary
"“It’s ok, baby girl,” he says in a breath as he shuts his eyes, trying to keep himself upright against a surge of heartache. He hears the words as if someone else has said them, like they didn’t leave his lips – but immediately feels the truth in it. The wall he’s tried to keep up between Ellie and Sarah, the nothing-but-bullshit line he’s drawn to try to somehow separate what they are to him is gone. There’s no more pretending. She’s his to take care of – that’s how she ended up here shaking and bleeding, after all, isn’t it?"

Summary
astra inclinant, sed non obligant (the stars incline us, they do not bind us)
. . .
Of all the fights Joel has dragged his brother into, none of them have ever been worthy of Tommy’s loyalty, until this one.
“You don’t know what she’s been through, Tommy. She’s just a kid. She needs—“
To be held.
To know that she deserves to live.
To know that she’s setting the world right just by existing, just by breathing.
Tommy finds the words he can’t. “She needs people to love her, a safe place to grow up and do some healin’. I reckon you, me, and Maria can give her that.”
Or: the Part II where Ellie gets her chance at saving the world (or at least her little corner of it) and finds out just how loved she is along the way.
No AI was used in the writing of this fic.
