Love always returns. Maybe it’ll be in a new person, hobby, or environment but it will come back.

This is peak Ellie. Bella is a perfect Ellie. She even sounded like Ashley Johnson in this scene. Yet some of you fuckers keep saying she wasn't the "right choice," and I hate yall for that. Shut up about her casting, and fuck right off. Cause we all know why you think she's not a good fit, and it's not cause of her acting. Evil fucking motherfuckers.

Not Right | Ellie Williams

MASTERLIST | AO3 | KO-FI

Pride Month 2024 #6

Requested by: Anon

Hi!!! Can I request a ellie Williams (the last of us) x sibling!reader who comes out as non!binary but also like aroacd if OK? If it's a double request I'm sorry if it turns into that

Note: Anon requested that the reader be Ellie's younger sibling, but I decided to make it ambiguous, so the reader can be read as being older or younger.

Relationship(s): Ellie Williams x nonbinary!aroace!sibling!reader (platonic)

Summary: Ellie's the first to know when you realise something's not right.

Warnings: Coming out scene(s). Implied dysphoria. (Let me know if I need to add any)

Word count: 0.5k

(A/N: So, just a warning, I haven't watched the Last of Us since it came out (other than a few rewatches of Long, Long Time), and I haven't played the game at all, so this is based purely on the show version of Ellie. I wasn't 100% confident that I'd be able to do the setting right so I decided to be as vague as possible- apologies if it's distracting! I'm just more interested in writing characters and their interactions, so I try not to worry to much about setting. Anyway, I watched some compilations and rewatched my favourite episode Long, Long Time yet again to help me get back into the character(s) and the world (I know Ellie's barely in the episode but I just needed to watch my sad gay love story again). If people want me to write for this show more, I 100% am up for that; it'll be the incentive I need to rewatch it. If anything, I want to write more Ellie fics where I can pretend I'm her cool (lameass) older sibling/older sibling figure.)

Something about your body felt cumbersome today, like your clothes had bricks in the pockets. Throughout the school day, you’d barely been able to concentrate, and you were too distracted to care when it got you in trouble. You couldn’t retreat to your room fast enough, and all you could bring yourself to do was curl up in bed. You had a few hours to yourself before your roommate would be back, and you soaked up every second of it that you could.

The silence was as peaceful as it was unsettling. And, of course, you should’ve guessed who would disturb it. Without warning, the door slammed open and you jolted upright, as though waking up from a bad dream.

“Jesus fucking Christ, El!”

“Nice to see you too.”

“Could you close the door behind you at least?”

She rolled her eyes and did as she was told.

“Did you need something?” you asked.

She shrugged.

“I wanted to check in on you. You’ve looked totally out of it all day.”

“I’m fine.”

“Do I have to punch someone in the face?”

You huffed.

“No. And, even if there was someone, I wouldn’t let you get yourself into trouble again.”

“Then, what’s up?”

“I’m just not feeling great. That’s all.”

“You’re not gonna, like, blow your brains out or something, are you?”

You glared at her.

“No.”

She held up her hands defensively.

“I’m sorry for making sure you’re not gonna do something stupid.”

Despite the words ‘I’m sorry’, she didn’t sound at all apologetic.

You didn’t say anything. She sighed and sat down on the edge of your bed, then she pushed herself back to rest against the wall.

“Come on. Talk to me.”

You closed your eyes and breathed in deeply.

“I don’t know. I guess I’ve been feeling a certain way for a while now.”

“What certain way?”

“Like something’s not right. With me.”

“Like what’s not right with you?”

You rolled your eyes at her questioning, despite knowing it came from a good place.

“Like… I’m not who my body’s telling me I am.”

“Oh. So… who are you?”

“Not a boy or a girl.”

“Right. Cool. Good for you, sib.”

You looked up at her with furrowed brows.

“That’s it?”

“What, do you want, like, a party?”

“A hug would be nice.”

“If you insist.”

She grinned and crawled across the bed and threw her arms around your shoulders. You collapsed under her weight and were pinned to the mattress in a vice grip.

“Okay, I regret asking now.”

— — —

The night felt special, despite the anxiety and tension. At school, you hadn’t been allowed out at night, and neither of you had been to the woods before, yet here you and Ellie were, camping out under the stars. You lay down on the ground, side by side, looking up at the stars through the gaps in the trees.

“Hey, El?”

She hummed in response, and turned her head to look at you.

“I’ve never been in love before. Is that weird?”

“No, of course not. I don’t think there’s many people around here worth falling in love with anyways. Slim pickings, y’know?”

You chuckled.

“Maybe someday you’ll find someone,” she suggested.

“Would it be okay if I didn’t want that?”

“Sure. It’ll be a bummer to miss out on giving the whole ‘if you hurt my sibling, I’ll fucking kill you’ speech. But, if that’s not what you want, that’s okay.”

You rested your head on her shoulder.

“Thanks, El.”

I need to know if I'm either the slowest person and this was the whole point or if I'm just crazy but-

Bobby lost a daughter and a son. I think the show is supposed to have May and Henry fill those roles, but I think it's Buck and Hen.

It's just one scene that is so specific to this idea but it's the scene when Buck and Hen save him from his addiction. You have this man falling apart because he lost his family, he lost a son and a daughter, only to saved by his team members, his family.

On top of all of that, there is no denying that Buck is Bobby's son, and that Hen and Buck are siblings.

Long story short I have many emotions about this family and I love them all so very much.
