Summary
A quiet Texas morning.
A shared fence. A shared heat.You didn’t come here looking for anything—just a summer away from home, slow days, and borrowed peace.
Joel Miller wasn’t looking either.
But under the same sun, some things are impossible not to notice.

Summary
You never used to be this desperate. Never used to allow yourself to grovel at a man’s feet for him just to give you the smallest morsels of warmth in return. Yet, you found yourself lapping up each and every crumb.
It was never supposed to even be him. It was Tommy that set his eyes on you on that godforsaken night at the bar—the night that turned to utter carnage.
Yet now, you would do just about anything to have his brother look at you with the same warmth and wanting.
You wanted to hate Joel Miller, wanted to feel nothing but disgust as you looked at him but you never could… and so in turn, you allowed him to ruin you over and over in every sense of the word.

Summary
The story of Tess: how she meets Joel and the years of survival beyond.
“So let’s do it,” Tess whispered fiercely.
“What?”
“Let’s just not die. You, me, Tommy. We’ll go all the way to the end, as far as we have to go. Fuck Cordyceps and fuck the future. Let’s just not fucking die.”
“Well, all right,” Joel agreed. “You’re the boss.”
It was absurd optimism, a ridiculous fight: don’t fucking die. But it was the biggest Fuck You she could muster against reality. She was not going to give in, no matter how bad it got. She’d seen people take the easy, quiet way out with their pills or bullets. She got it. She even envied them a little. That kind of quick death would never belong to her. She was too full of fight, too angry at the world.
“We’ll go as far as we have to,” Joel murmured.

Summary
Joel doesn’t know how to describe what you were to him. You’d never made any promises to each other, but you loved his daughter like she was your own. Had he known what would happen, he wouldn't have let you go.
series will take place before AND after the outbreak. Slow-burn(ish), eventual smut.
