"For you darlin’ there is nothin’ I wouldn’t do."

summary: Joel brings you a present 

Warnings: none! Just fluff!

(I wrote this after watching episode six of season two. It just warmed my heart to see what Joel does for Ellie, so I just know he would do the same for his woman.)

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

You lean against the kitchen counter, nursing a glass of water. You rub your temple, a headache starting to brew in the depths of your mind. You had started working at the daycare in Jackson. Your days usually started with drinking some of Joel's coffee. You would lean against the counter, like you are now, a coffee mug in your grasp as you say goodbye to Joel as he leaves for patrol. The hand not holding the mug would gently grasp his jaw, his facial hair brushing against your hand as you leaned up and kissed him goodbye. He would leave after the tender kiss, his rough voice from just getting out of bed telling you that he loved you and that he would see you later.

Once you were more ready for the day, you would walk through the middle of town to the daycare, where your day would end by getting screamed at by four year olds.

While only being a couple years old when the apocalypse started, you wanted to follow in the footsteps of your mother and become a teacher. Of course that dream was ripped away once the modern world ended. When, for some, education was not important. Only survival was. But despite this, your mother taught you everything she knew about the English language. The semantics of it might have not stuck out to you, but books and reading did. Your father never allowed you to carry more than one book at a time, understandable, but you sometimes would had to read the same book over and over again until you could find a new one. While your mother passed away many years ago, her warmth and her love for children still resided in you.

So when the offer was mentioned you took it. However you had no idea what you were getting yourself into. These children..were little devils. On one side you couldn’t blame them, look at the world they were born into. The kind of lives they had to get used to. The loss that many of them have or would have to experience. The world had become a much crueler place. But despite all of that, the children could at least respect you a little more.

“Tough day darlin’?” 

You jumped at the sound of his voice, so lost in thought you didn’t hear the front door open or his footsteps. His chuckle warmed your chest. 

“Didn’t mean to scare ya.” 

You turned towards Joel, a tired smile lighting up your freckled face, “It okay. I scare easy, you know that. And it was.” 

Joel came closer, his scent infiltrating your nose. A strong earthy smell with a mix of gunpowder. He placed a horribly wrapped box on the counter beside you. 

You looked at him with suspicious eyes, “what is this?”

Joel’s lightly smiled a little, a smirk stretching across his features, “Open it darlin’.”

“You got me a present? It’s not even my birthday.” 

You gingerly turned towards the box, your hands coming up and resting on the top, “did you wrap this?”

Joel grumbled, “Yah, something wrong with it?” 

You giggled eyeing the wrinkled paper and the horrible tape placement, “No, nothing.” 

Joel rolled his eyes, “Will you just open the damn box.” 

While Joel loved to hear your giggle, he wanted you to open the box more. On his patrol today, he had come across a house that definitely once belonged to a book collector. Many of the books were ineligible or falling apart, but he was able to find a couple- a couple books that he knew you wanted to get your hands on. 

“Okay. Okay. You grump.” You grumbled giving him a fake glare as you pulled off the paper around the box. As soon as the wrapping paper was off, you pulled the box open.

Inside laid two books. A pretty worn out copy of The Lord of the Rings and The Game of Thrones. You stared in shock at the sight, the emotions starting to swirl in your chest. 

“Joel-”

“Are they not the right ones darlin’? I could have sworn these were the ones-”

You turned to him, your eyes welled with unleashed tears. It warmed your heart that despite his tough exterior that he would go so out of his way to do something like this for you. That he took the time to look through who knows how many houses and books to just find the ones that you wanted. 

“Hey, why..why are you crying? They aren’t the right ones? You..you can give me a list then, write down all the ones you want and I’ll-”

You step closer to him and grab the front of his jacket tugging him closer, pressing a sweet kiss to his lips. His heart beats widely under your hand, as his own arm encases your waist. 

“No Joel, they are perfect. Thank you. I hope you didn’t go through too much trouble.”

Joel cups one side of your face, forcing you to look into his eyes. Eyes that are filled with pure genuine affection and love.

“For you darlin’ there is nothin’ I wouldn’t do.”

They all laughed.

It fills me with rage that Alicent is trying to run from her own consequences, now that she is realizing how dire they are. She says that Rhaenyra can have Aegon’s head, when was it not herself and her father who put him on the throne? She’s upset that Aemond is a boy full of anger and resentment as if she was not the one who filled his head with these thoughts about Rhaenyra and his nephews? Or what about Daeron? She’s been told he’s kind and sweet unlike his brothers and yet she would sacrifice all her children to save one, when all her children are only reflections of her own actions?

I am not defending Aegon or Aemond, neither deserve the throne. Queen Rhaenyra has always been the right option.

Also the people saying you can’t compare Aemond and Daemon even though they are very similar, because Daemon is not a kinslayer. Yes he is! Just because he didn’t murder Aegon’s son himself, the child was still his family, who he intentionally hired someone to kill. Because if we want to be technical like that Aemond didn’t kill Luke or Rhaenys, Vhagar did. The two are somewhat loyal to certain people.

[red5131]

I’m seen so many people say they are surprised that Aemond went after Aegon…are we watching the same show??? It’s been shown multiple times how much Aegon has bullied Aemond since they were children. Made clear that Aemond had suffered verbal abuse for years from Aegon. Not to mention, Aemond believes he is a much better suited for the throne, so there is a lot of jealousy there. There relationship is very deep wound for both. As someone who has read the books, I know of their relationship there, but the show is different.

Show Aemond is very much team Aemond.
