    Summary

    Shoving herself upright, she splashes beige tinted water onto her face from the trickling tap before forcing herself to meet her own eyes in the mirror, the starkly white wash of her skin making her look ill. The drift of her hand drags her shirt back up and her breathing catches, an undignified whine slipping out of her as she stares unblinkingly at that small protrusion, it's existence undeniable now that she knows.

    She's pregnant.

    And she can't tell Joel, he can't know.
    -
    Tess makes the belated realization that she's harboring a tiny fugitive (Ellie) and decides that it's best if Joel doesn't know (Outbreak compliant, takes place within Boston QZ)
    For Tess/Joel month 2025

    Summary

    Joel wipes his mouth against his arm, taking a quick sip from the glass of water he’s been spending the past hour staring at. He clears his throat, then meets her eyes. “What did you just say?”

    She rests her cheek against her hand, elbows still propped up on the table. “I asked if you wanted to get married at some point.”

    Joel nearly chokes again. “I mean, I—Tess.”

    “Take your time.”

     

    Tess lives and makes it back to Jackson with Joel and Ellie. Something has to shift.

    Ft. Joel being incredibly emotionally constipated and Tess being a good mom.

    Summary

    “Think we’re due a vacation.” Jack smarmed from behind the joint. “We could work with Shen and Walsh, Dr. Al. It won't be hard to get coverage.”

    “What fucking planet are you living on where hospital bueracracy is that easy?” Somewhere between Robby’s fifth toke and Jack’s third, their fingers had come to an inevitable tangle, as they sat together by the immortalized soldier’s giant stone foot.

    “The one where I’m a disabled war-veteran and you’re a fucking nutjob, one inconvenience away from cracking?”

    A low laugh tumbled from out of Robby’s mouth, and he scratched his beard. “Oh. That planet. I thought we were gonna move?”

    fic where robby has ocd and jack is actually really good at handling it!

    Summary

    A week later, someone said they were setting up a safe zone north of Houston. Clearing out other people’s homes, their apartments, storefronts, churches - and refitting them to house a more permanent base of operations, but also to hold whatever displaced civilians made it that far.  It was rumored to be full already. Thousands of people clamoring up the main interstate were waiting in make-shift camps, in their cars, hoping to get in.

    Nobody as far out as Austin held half a shot of getting to that zone, and probably never had.

    But they couldn’t permit the growing presence of Infected. Some guy in his unit says over breakfast one morning that they called them that because anybody left holding a lick of power was too busy ordering the mass murder of civilians to come up with anything better. Tommy thinks he’s probably right.

     

    TLDR Sarah is bitten and Joel refuses to leave her - Tommy goes on because his big brother told him to.
