“You must be confused, darlin’,” Tommy says as he turns to her and smirks. “This is my bandana and I let you borrow it when you want.”
“Whatever, cowboy,” she says with a roll of her eyes. “Would you kindly let me borrow one of your bandanas for when I go out on patrol today?” She puts on the best impression of his Texas twang.

Their stay in Jackson was a strained one at best. What started out as two brothers finally reuniting ended in arguing, yelling, and tears. Ellie hadn’t been sure what to expect once they got to Jackson, but it wasn’t that. She hadn’t expected to feel the way she had, experiencing emotions she didn’t quite understand, and it was making her head hurt.
OR
Ellie and Joels stay in Jackson but from Ellies POV. Dive into her thoughts and insecurities that came with making it to Jackson and finding Tommy.

Summary
“Sarah was Joel’s daughter.”
And suddenly, everything made fucking sense. Suddenly, it all came together for her.
Ellie had asked herself back then why the hell Joel did all that, why he always seemed to know what to do and why those things he did for her made her feel so good, so sheltered, so cared for.
Now she had got her answer. Because Joel had been a father once. He knew how to deal with a teenager like her. To take care of her, to look out for her, to be there for her and protect her.

Summary
“So is this just something you guys used to do all the time, or was it like a special occasion thing?” Ellie stands by a dilapidated windmill, pushing the blades that still miraculously spun.
“Well, for us, it was a once-in-a-while type of activity. Tommy really liked the one near us that had a waterfall.” Joel walks over to a kidney-shaped depression in the ground filled with standing water. Faded green outdoor carpet, ripped and torn lays beneath his feet.
“These places had waterfalls!” Ellie whistles, or at least tries to, as she squats down and peers into the hole at the base of the windmill.
“Little ones weren't real a’course. Man-made, but they looked neat when they was runnin’.” Joel crunches past the pool and moves around the corner, a mini-mountain off to his left.
“Joel! Holy shit, look what I found,” Ellie calls to him, and he spins around to see Ellie pulling her hand out of the hole she was peering into, a faded blue golf ball in her hand.
IE: Ellie and Joel Find a miniature golf course, shenanigans ensue, and Joel starts to find himself again.

“What, y’all didn’t learn Spanish at school?”

Or, Joel teaches Ellie Spanish.

The days in the basement were hard. She didn't know what she was doing or how to help him. Ellie just had to trust her gut and hope he wouldn't die in front of her. You keep going for family, and Joel felt pretty close to family, she wasn't going to give up on him. You don't quit.

Summary
Tommy told him it would just be five days- dangerous, but nothing he couldn't handle. They set off, and the days were surprisingly easy. Pleasant even.
This was the best it ever was between them.-----------
It took them five days to get to the University and we barely got to see five minutes of it. Here is a chapter for each day, filling in the gaps.

Summary
Ellie’s twisting a fuzzy orange pipe cleaner around her finger when she hears footsteps behind her. She assumes it’s Maria, coming to tell her to get to the house they’ve set her and Joel up with before she freezes, but when she turns it’s just a girl.
Or, well, the girl. The one from the Tipsy Bison. The one who had stared at her while she ate. The one who’s staring at her right now.
“You got a thing for spying on people or what?”

A spin on Dina and Ellie's first real meeting.

Summary
Watching the pair eat side by side takes Tommy twenty years back into the past. This girl—Ellie—she’s nothing like Sarah. Sarah was all girly with soft edges and outspoken intelligence and quick wit and deep empathy. Smiles came easy to her, and so did tears. This kid, she’s truly a product of the times they live in. She’s rude and violent and untrusting. Still, it doesn’t matter that she’s nothing like Sarah, for looking at her and Joel is so goddamn familiar. He feels like he’s back in their kitchen watching Sarah and Joel trade quips over breakfast.
or, tommy has some thoughts about joel and ellie, and he's mostly just happy to see his big brother again.

Summary
"It'll be faster, just watch." He'd said.
As if Ellie would argue. They've been traveling for what feels like forever. She's grown blisters that have long-since become calluses on her feet. Her hair has started to get matted. And her teeth yellower. They've been out in the wild for far too long. But they still have so very far to go.
(Takes place during/before the time skip at the beginning of episode 6. Joel and Ellie finally talk about how he killed that soldier the first night they met. Just a little thing.)

Summary
In all the months they’d spent trekking across the country, Ellie had never once expected them to actually find Joel’s brother alive. Those were just the odds. But there he was, hugging Joel with an ear to ear grin on his face. And Joel was hugging him back.

“And today I thought that dog was gonna tear her apart because it smelled somethin’ on her. And all I did was stand there. I couldn’t… move, I couldn’t think of anything to say I just-”
