    Summary

    He knows from the moment he sees Joel helping the girl down from the horse she’s on that something’s up. There’s an ease to the movement that says he almost certainly helped her up on the horse as well, and the way she moves with absolute trust that he won’t let her fall says there’s a bond there that’s had time to develop.

    The girl sticks close to Joel’s side, eyes wary, as he guides her back over.

    “This is Ellie,” Joel says before turning to her. “This is my brother, T-”

    “Tommy, yeah. I heard. Not all of us have shit ears, grandpa.”

    He blinks at the comment, but Joel doesn’t seem offended, even as he rolls his eyes.

    This is his second hint.

    Summary

    “Girl, there ain’t no I in team! And you can’t spell awesome without me!” Ellie belts.

    “That’s such a stupid fuckin’ line,” Joel mutters after a swig of coffee, because he can’t handle early mornings and Taylor Swift at the same time without caffeine.

    “It’s poetic genius,” Ellie says triumphantly. “Obviously.”

     

    Or: Everything is the same, except Taylor Swift existed twenty years earlier— and Ellie’s obsessed.

    Summary

    There were footprints she didn’t recognize leading up to the house.

    For a moment, Ellie couldn’t breathe, choking on the frigid morning air, and she had a horrible vision of her dying here, outside, mere yards from where Joel – where Joel –

    He’s not dead, she told herself firmly. And he won’t be if I have anything to say about it.

    ---

    What if David and his men beat Ellie back to Joel in episode 8, and she never got a chance to warn him they were coming?
