This episode was fucking beautiful. Joel having panic attacks, coming clean about why he can't take Ellie with him and fucking crying about it, fucking addressing what happened to Henry and Sam, "you've a right to choose-" "let's go" "okay", Joel's smile when he was teaching Ellie how to shoot, "I can't fucking do this without you" and then her hand reaching for his face, they are family your honor

The Girl in IT - IT Ticket: Print Job
A Boss! Joel Miller x IT Specialist F! Reader AU Byte-Sized Microfic
Tumblr media
The LIST │ Read the main series here!
Chapter Rating: T
Story Summary: What if Joel tried to print out his list to put in his wallet but botched the print job? Who does he call in his time of need?
Word Count: 430
Inspired by this ask from a sweet anon:
Tumblr media
A/N: Lately I've been receiving a lot of messages in my Asks and it's led to a lot of me sharing the lore and backstory of 'The Girl in IT'! I decided it would be fun if I answered these with a short, byte-sized fic! Thank you, sweet anon for the ask! Keep them coming!
Tumblr media
"Ellie?" Joel's voice echoes from across the hall. "Get in here for a sec."
Ellie strides into Joel's office, hand on her hip. "What's up? I'm about to head out to the job site with Tommy."
Joel looks somewhat sheepish. "Need a hand."
"Okay… is it going to take long? I needed to be in the parking lot five minutes ago."
"Well, I tried to print out a document-"
Ellie groans, plopping onto the chair in front of him. "Isn't that why we hired Sugar? To help you handle your computer mishaps?"
Joel sighs, "She's with Tess right now. I figured this wasn't pressing enough to warrant the interruption. Besides, you know Tess."
Ellie rolls her eyes as she nods in agreement. "Fine. What happened after you hit print?"
Joel scratches his head, avoiding eye contact. "I may have pressed the wrong button. Instead of printing one page, I accidentally printed the entire manual for the printer. Now it's sitting in the tray, and I have no idea how to fix it."
Ellie chuckles, "You're lucky I'm here. Let's take a look."
They both stroll over to Joel's desk, and Ellie surveys the printer, a cascade of papers flowing out of the tray. Ellie bursts into laughter. "Yeah, you definitely printed the manual. Congratulations, Joel. You just set a new record for the most paperwork generated by a single print job. We should frame it."
Joel smirks, "Well, at least I know how to complicate things."
"What were you printing anyway?" Ellie asks, trying to peek at his laptop.
"Nothing! I mean, there was this form-"
"So a PDF, then?"
"I think so?"
Ellie shoves him aside, grabbing the mouse to check the document. "Joel, this is a Word doc, not a PDF. All you need to do is click on-" her eyes narrow as she looks at the screen, her eyes widening in shock. "Joel, WHAT THE FUCK!"
"Ellie-"
"Are you out of your mind, Joel? Printing this at work? Tess is going to kill you," Ellie admonishes.
"How is she gonna know?"
"Don't you know that Sugar monitors all computer usage for all of the employees? That includes all print jobs, moron!"
"I own this company, Ellie! My computer should be off-limits!"
"Not after the stunt Tommy pulled, getting the servers hacked with all of his explicit internet usage. If you have a bone to pick, take it up with management!"
"Hey! I AM management!"
Ellie shoots him a look as she heads to the door. "Not according to Tess!" She gives him a one-handed salute. "Adios, Romeo!"

The storms within us
Tumblr media
summery: Joel is out on patrol when a snowstorm hits, leaving Ellie longing to be in her dad's presence again. You try to bring a bit of happiness to her by surprising her with the DVD's that you found. But will that be enough or the comfort that she needs can only be brought by Joel himself?
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Ellie stood in front of her bedroom window. It was pitch black outside. The lanterns in the streets were little help against the amount of snow that was blazing. She enjoyed snowy nights, but not on days like this. Because in a way, it didn't feel right for Ellie to cozy up in her window nook and read or sit by the fire downstairs while you knit. No, she couldn't. Not with Joel out on patrol in weather like this.
Ellie's mind was as frantic as the snowstorm outside. What if Joel slipped? What if he didn't hear someone coming when the wind was so strong? What if he was somewhere slumped up against the tree, freezing to death? A cold shiver ran down Ellie's back at that thought. In the beginning, she hated herself for becoming so dependent. So attached. So needy for the love you and Joel gave her. But she couldn't help it. Every cell in her body craved it. A warm embrace. A kiss on the forehead. A laugh over dinner. A warm smile that greeted her. Proud looks on your and Joel's faces when she did well in school.
You and Joel made her feel like she wasn't a broken kid after all. Not just an unlovable orphan. No, she was enough. That's what you always told her. "Look in the mirror, you're a worrier. The strength you hold in your heart is beyond this world, bean", you would mutter in her hair while squeezing her shoulders. Even when Ellie didn't believe it herself, you always made her feel like she could. Could be enough. But Ellie was more like Joel. She also preferred to let her emotions go in silence. Ellie still remembered how she stumbled back downstairs to get a glass of water, giving up on sleep after two hours of tossing and turning.
She found Joel sitting on the sofa with his arms on his knees, just staring ahead. Ellie thought about turning back, but instead, she walked closer to Joel. She waited for him to question why she wasn't sleeping. Why was she out of bed at such late hours of the night? But instead, Joel stretched out an arm towards her, inviting her into his embrace. Ellie had never moved quicker. Curling up into his side, Joel wrapped her up in his strong arms. A gentle kiss grazed her forehead. They didn't talk. But they didn't have to. They knew about their demons and why they were up in the first place. Words would just make it cheap. However, their silence and the hold they had on one another spoke volumes.
"Oh, El, no, honey", your voice made the girl jump, snapping her out of her thoughts. You rushed forward, "You'll get sick, love. What were you doing?" After closing the fully open window, you turned to her. Not mad - worried. Ellie didn't remember when she had opened it. Nor did she feel the bitter cold or the snow hitting her cheeks. You quickly moved your sleeve up your palm, dabbing her cheeks dry. "Is Joel back?", Ellie muttered under her breath. Your heart swelled. The past day has been extremely difficult for Ellie. She seemed fine at first, but then her worries seemed to grow at an astronomical speed. Not to mention the look on her face when the snowstorm broke out.
"Not yet, baby. But I'm sure they are making their way back", yet this answer no longer satisfied the longing need to see Joel back home. The patrol shift was supposed to change twelve hours ago. Twelve. And it hadn't because they hadn't come back. What if they never come back? What if no one would find them? What if she would never get to see him again? "Hey, hey, look at me," you said to the sight of Ellie's chest starting to rise more frantically as you gently cupped her face, "Bab, Joel is fine. Look where that man got us! If anyone is capable of coming back in this kind of weather, it's him", yet she just shook her head and said, "How can you be so sure? He could be dying out there", Ellie quickly gestured to the window.
She was extremely protective of you two. She began worrying about the smallest of things, and while it was adorable at first, you could see that it was what led her to overthink. "Who says that I'm sure?", you asked as you sat down on her bed, letting your own eyes wander toward the bitter cold. "I'm as scared. But you have to keep the faith. Emotions like this can quickly eat you up", you said quietly, as Ellie moved to sit beside you. "Remember the rule Joel and I told you about?", you questioned. Ellie nodded her head. You had first told her about it when Joel had to leave for the first time since you got to Jackson. Life in QZ was different, of course. Much more challenging than it was here. There, it was a miracle if you crossed a street without getting hit by someone.
Joel had gone on a smuggling trip that was supposed to be daylong at best. You had just started properly seeing each other then. He didn't come back for a whole week. You were ready to bury him. Weep for the loss of your loved one. Sure that he had either been shot by a soldier or was bitten by an infected. When you heard the door open, you were convinced that you were imagining it. When the street lights illuminated Joel's tired face, you thought that you had gone mad. But then all the emotion came rolling back, and you just strolled up to him, hitting his chest over and over again as you cried.
"You don't make promises of survival, but don't live like you're losing the one you love until you know that you are", Ellie rasped out. It was a sad rule. But the world wasn't the happiest place. "You've got to keep the love strong. He can feel it. Send him love, not fear, baby girl", you said, bringing Ellie closer to your chest as you squeezed her just a bit tighter. An action that she as well returned.
"Now let's go. I have something to show you", Ellie gave you a puzzled look but did not argue back. You had kept this tucked away from her birthday, but considering the situation now, you figured that this might be better timing. You handed Elie a corner of a white sheet, showing her how to tie it on the wooden beam before lifting the self-constructed pole toward the ceiling. Ellie watched you still. It reminded her of the projector in the main hall, but then again, it was a rare occasion that she went there.
"Any clue?", you asked her, but she just shrugged her shoulders. You've seen this side of her. The dissociated, scared girl. It broke your heart, but you were determined to change it. Stepping off the chair, you reached for a box that was placed by the fireplace. Handing it to Ellie and encouraging her to open it. She pulled the ribbon off. Lifting the lid off carefully.
"I've been collecting them for a while, and since you love movies and it's been a while… I thought we could have movie nights at home from now on", you said, watching as she turned different DVDs in her hands. A sense of sadness was still there, and you wondered if it was a good choice to show this to her now. Especially since you knew this would have been something she would have wanted to do with both you and Joel. "Oh, that's my favorite. Little Miss Sunshine. I'm convinced you would love it; it's quite funny, you know," you said, beaming at the sight of your favorite one. "Wanna watch that tonight?", you asked, but Ellie shook her head. "With dad", she muttered, putting the DVD to the side. You felt your own eyes starting to sting.
Reaching for her hand, you kneeled in front of her. Ellie wasted no time as she wrapped her arms around your neck as quiet sobs escaped her lips. You wrapped your hands around her as well, running your palms up and down her back. "Let it out, baby, let it out", you muttered into her hair. "What if I don't get to tell him that I love him?", she choked out, pulling away slightly. "Of course, you will. Many times. He's coming back, angel. You know why?", you asked, looking her in the eyes as she shook her head, "Because you are his whole world, and he just as much wants to tell you how much he loves you".
More tears spilled down Ellie's cheeks. She clung to your words. Letting herself see a glimpse of hope in them. You moved to stand up, letting go of her, and Ellie instantly reached for you again. "I'll be right back", you said gently. Quickly stepping back upstairs to ruffle through the drawers before getting back to the still-crying girl. "Put this on, baby", you told her, handing her one of Joel's warmer winter flannels. One of his favorites. One that he usually wore around the house. One that Ellie instantly recognized. She took it into her hands carefully, as if it was one of her most prized possessions. Pushing the material closer to her nose, Ellie breathed in the familiar smell. Smell that belonged to Joel. Smell that reminded her of home. That was part of her home. Slipping her arms through the sleeves, Ellie wrapped the material around herself. A wash of ease floated through her body. "Ravioli?", you asked, running your fingers through her hair. Hoping to make her eat at least something tonight. "With extra cheese?", Ellie asked, making you let out a quiet laugh, "Say no more, bean".
Empty plates were now laid out on the side table, cleaned to the last bit. A random finding about the galaxy was played on the screen. Ellie's eyes were focused on the movie that played. She seemed calmer. You were laying on your side, with Ellie in front of you. Your arm was protectively wrapped around the girl. She was playing with your fingers casually. Twisting the wedding band on your finger, slipping it off and on at times. You watched her carefully. Nuzzling just a bit closer.
"Do you think there's wind on the moon?", she asked you casually, her eyes not leaving the screen. "I doubt it, but they better have canned macaroni because what will you eat when you get there?", you tickled her side gently, making her chuckle slightly. "Well, isn't the moon just a giant cheese?", "Right, right, so you just need pasta shapes". Ellie shook her head with a giggle, pulling your arm closer to herself.
The room soon turned quiet. The fire was dying down slowly, but you didn't dare to move. Ellie had fallen asleep. It was an uneasy one, but it was better than nothing. You glanced at the door quickly. Letting your mind wander for a moment. You didn't want to let the thought of Joel not coming fully set it, but then again, you couldn't help it. Pushing those thoughts to the back of your head, you settled down yourself. Letting the sound of Ellie's breathing lull you into a slumber.
Joel hadn't stopped thinking about you two ever since the snowstorm started. He feared. Not because he was freezing, but because he knew you two were worried sick. He wished there would have been a way to reach you. Let you know that he was well. He and Tommy stopped by an abandoned farm when it all picked up. He wasn't just wandering through the woods. Joel needed you to know that he was coming back. That he would always come back. "They are fine, Joel,", Tommy cut into the train of thought that Joel was lost in. "You don't know them as I do", Joel argued back. A silence fell around them until Joel raised his hands to blow warm air at his palms, "And I didn't even say goodbye to Ellie", "Joel, she will be fine". Yet Joel knew Ellie was probably far from well. Of course, you were with her. That he was thankful for, and he knew that she would find peace in you, but he hated being the reason why she would be feeling worried. Joel found himself in Ellie. Found a purpose to live.
When he finally stumbled back to Jackson, he didn't give the rest of the crew a second glance. Not caring much about giving reports. Some of them tried to call after him, but Tommy just shook his head and said, "Let him go; he's needed at home". It was an odd feeling. For some reason, Joel found himself wondering. What if you two weren't there? What ifs were the most dangerous questions for a reason. They could make any, even the strongest one, crumble slightly.
Fidgeting with the key, Joel stepped inside, quickly closing the door behind him in an attempt to keep the cold out of the place. The house seemed quiet, but then again, it was past 3 a.m., if not later. Joel shrugged off his damp jacket. Making his way deeper into the house. His stomach rambled; he hadn't eaten properly in over a day. But first, he had to see you two. Had to make sure that you were well. That you were here. That everything was just how he left it the morning he left.
Joel's eyes first fell onto the big makeshift screen that still had a movie playing on it. Different planets were twirling around the screen, illuminating the room in a dim, blueish light. Stepping closer, he looked over the back of the sofa. Heart skipped a beat at the sight. His precious girls cuddled up together. Joel noticed the grip Ellie had on you first. Even in her sleep, she was holding onto you as if you were about to slip away. Then he noticed a slight frown on her face and the flannel that she wrapped herself in. His flannel. Joel's jaw clenched in an attempt to keep his emotions at bay. How worried would she have been if you had offered her his shirt to wear?
Stepping in front of Ellie, Joel kneeled carefully. Brushing his fingers through the stray hair that had fallen onto her face. She stirred instantly as if sensing his presence. Eyes opened ever so slightly, "Dad?", she muttered, Joel's heart nearly jumping out of his chest. He knew that she referred to him like that while talking to you, but she had never said it straight to his face. "Yeah, baby girl, I'm here", Joel said, smiling softly. "Dad…", Ellie almost cried out this time, tiredly reaching out for Joel. "It's okay, I've got you", he muttered in response. Bearing out to embrace her, "Easy sweet girl", he tried to soothe her fears as he held her close to him.
"Don't leave me", Ellie's arms wrapped around Joel's shoulders as she clung to him even more, "Why would I? I'll be here when you wake up; I'll hold you till you fall asleep", her hands gripped him even closer. Joel didn't even think about letting go. He needed to ground himself. Rocking her slightly, Joel smiled when Ellie's breathing evened out a little. "Bring her to our bed", the sound of your voice made him look up. Your eyes were tired, yet you smiled at him as if he was one of the world's wonders.
Joel reached out for your hand, which you took instantly, squeezing it gently. "You two are okay?", he asked before carefully standing up with Ellie in his arms. You gathered up the blanket that kept you two warm for the night, "Now that you're here, we are", to which Joel gave you a knowing look before nodding for you to step up the stairs first. He was here, and he was going to shelter you two from the wildest of storms. More than ready to go that extra mile to keep you both safe.
Joel laid Ellie in the middle of the bed, and you quickly pulled a blanket over her body. "Are you laying on my other side?", Joel asked, and you shook your head. "She needs us tonight, well, you mostly, but I think it's better if she stays in the middle", Joel nodded his head. Coming up to your side, cupping your face as he leaned in to kiss you softly. Breathing you in before wrapping his arms around you for the first time that night, "You seriously need to stop disappearing, or I'll grow gray myself", Joel chuckled slightly at your words, "Can't have that. There's only one space for a silver fox in this house".

You know what, I'm already laughing. Joel spent all this episode moping about how old and slow he is, how he can't do shit to keep Ellie safe and in two weeks time, we're gonna see him lose his shit and go absolutely feral on a bunch of very unlucky motherfuckers. It's gonna be amazing.
