Summary
The air smelled damp and earthy, and as far as she could see through the hazy half-light, there were stone pathways, each in a different direction. Seeing a sliver of movement out of the corner of her eye, Lucy whipped around, coming face to face with a familiar figure.
Lockwood.

Summary
Home, this small town filled with too big now impossible dreams. This small town with its big walls meant safety, a calm before a storm of the tangible reminders of why it fell apart, of why Anna wasnt here anymore, of what Maria tried and failed to blame. The walls were a tangible stopper on the flow of anger and resentment that tried to fill her as she remembered what she could have saved. There was a leak somewhere, letting out careful streams akin to the mycelium that now crawled across the country.

Summary
After convincing Tairn to help her find Xaden, Violet discovers her exhausted, burnt out boyfriend on the top of a mountain, Sgaeyl protectively standing watch. It's going to take a little pushing and certainly some convincing to get inside the walls he's built around himself in an attempt to protect his sanity. If anyone is up for the task, however, it's his Violet.

When Ellie's "immunity" turns out to be a LOT more complicated than she realized, she runs away from Jackson, from Joel, from the only stable life she's ever known. Her goal: find whatever remains of the Fireflies before her cordyceps infection finishes the job.Almost two years later, the trail leads a now thoroughly-infected (and still sane) Ellie to Seattle. But a lot can happen in five days, especially when a trio of ghosts from her past turn out to be hunting the very people she's here to find.

An AU reimagining of TLoU2 where Ellie's cordyceps infection never stopped progressing. -

This time she says, “Yes.”
