Summary
Fire.
Pain.
So much pain.
Then nothing.
“All of your dragons will be returned to you, even the one that was lost. But choose better this time. A prince you need.”
I woke up with a startle, gasping for air like a dying woman.
However, as my hands went to my chest I realized I was no longer a woman.
I froze, holding still, before rapidly throwing the blankets off my body and rushing towards my mirror. There, being reflected was none other than a four and ten namedays girl.
Me.

Harry's Guide to Raising Dragons and Nobles by Zizabelle98

Summary
A chaotic explosion of unknown magic sends Harry to a foreign and unrecognisable toxic wasteland. He has his wand, Hermione's beaded pouch, a ruined city to take shelter in, but no way home.
Once settled and fearing for his sanity in this isolated place, he decides to take one of the many dead dragon eggs laying about to keep him company. It turns out the egg isn't as dead as he thought, though.
It's safe to say that Corlys Velaryon was not expecting to be bringing a wizard of unimaginable power and a thunder of dragons back home with him when he sent off on his ninth and final voyage.

Summary
Born the bastard daughter of Princess Saera Targaryen and cast aside to grow up in Rosby, Alyria's white hair and amethyst eyes marked her as different. She never expected anything more than a quiet life in her cottage in the woods, far from courtly intrigues. That is until the Bronze Fury himself crushes her house and then claims her.
Now saddled with a living furnace on wings, Alyria is summoned to King's Landing by King Viserys who insists she must be made into a proper Targaryen. But to House Targaryen, Alyria is everything a Dragon Rider is not; unable to speak High Valyrian, untrained, and too kind to survive the viper's nest of court.
The task of teaching her falls, much to his displeasure, to Prince Daemon, another attempt by his brother to tame him. Yet somewhere beneath his irritation stirs a growing obsession - primal, dark, and as unyielding as Valyrian steel. The Rogue Prince has always gotten what he desires, and Alyria is no exception. In his mind, she is his by right, claimed and kept, a possession he has no intention of relinquishing.

my cow, your cow, our cow by ciaconnaa for Bumblepony

Summary
The midwest is boring. At this point, the crops are harvested and the fields are literally just dirt, so she spends all her time looking for those sweet cows. But she can’t seem to find any, despite there being nothing but pastures. There are, however, plenty of churches. Ellie ends up marrying her cows twice as often as Joel. After the fourth or fifth time, when the cows are up in the hundreds and she’s had to break out a notebook just to do math and keep track, Joel starts playing dirty.
She barely sees a steeple, a little building behind an old abandoned school when she says, “Marry my - hey!” She doesn’t finish. Instead, she falls into a fit of laughter as she tries to squirm away from the hand he’s pressed firmly over her eyes so she can’t see to play.
“Ain’t no church,” he says, deadpan. He keeps his hand over her eyes. “Oh, hey look. My cow.”
“Joel!”
or;
Ellie and Joel take a massive roadtrip to Wyoming for the impromptu wedding of his estranged brother. There's stories, adventures, and a massive car game about claiming cows along the way.

Summary
“Kid, get the hell outta my tree.”
Stupid fucking neighbors. She’s never even seen the person who lives here before.
“It’s not your tree,” she calls back, infusing her tone with as much attitude as she can muster. “No one owns a tree.” Deep breaths, Ellie. Can’t give away how scared you are, especially not to a stranger. Especially especially not to a man.
“Tree’s on my property. I own the property, so I own the tree. Now scram.”

Summary
“Will you play dinosaurs with me?"
No, the answer was most definitely and could only be – no.
His legs wouldn't budge. He pinched the bridge of his nose, the familiar hum of a mounting headache building behind his right eye. Where the hell was her mother this time? He would not get stuck helping this kid again. Absolutely not.
“Didn’t your mama tell you not to talk to strangers?”
“You’re not a stranger,” she said. “You’re Pancake Man!”
“No,” he said, one hand resting at his belt as he faced her again. “I’m Joel. And you’re gonna be trouble when your mama finds you.”
She smiled and shook her head with enough force to bounce her pigtails around her face. “Mama’s not here.”

Summary
Is this, Ellie wonders, what it’s like to loved? She’s never been loved before, not really, so she isn’t sure, but when she surfaces from the grips of her nightmares and Joel is there to cup her face in his hands, to wipe away her tears with his thumbs, to tell her to breathe, that she’s okay, that she’s safe, she thinks:
This is it.

Summary
Maria moans, shakes. She asks for Tommy, then Rafa, then Tommy again, tears glittering darkly on her cheeks in the guttering light of the rocket stove, and Ellie crawls to her side, wedges her aunt’s head beneath her arm, crushes her hand in her’s.
“We’re okay,” she tells her. She’s going for calm, for collected and soothing, but the words keep getting tangled up behind her teeth and the hole up around her keeps going blurry and then sharply prismatic as her tears spill, salty and fast, down her cheeks. “We’re okay,” she says. “We’re okay, we’re okay, we’re okay-”
The wailing of the storm drowns out her lies.
*
While on a trail ride, Ellie and Maria are ambushed by hunters and injured. Ellie gets them both to safety, but she’s forced to stay alert as a snowstorm rolls in and her aunt’s life rests in her hands.

Summary
Don’t even need to be big, he’d told Sarah once. He tells Ellie that now, watches her face fold and unfold, a flower in bloom. Don’t even need to be big - because what a fucking privilege it is, he thinks, to be twenty years past the end of the world and still holding that dubious honor of cradling all the small parts of a little girl in his hand.

Two different girls. One dad.

Summary
The gods have seen the end of the Song of Ice and Fire – and it ends wrong.
In a final act of defiance, the Old Gods of the North and the Fourteen Flames of Valyria intervene together, forging a new piece on the board of fate.
From death, they breathe life into a stillborn Stark girl, daughter of Lord Rickon Stark. The Old Gods grant her their ancient watchfulness, while Valyria gifts her a spark of dragonfire.
She is not meant to ride a dragon. She is meant to stand beside one. Armed with hidden gifts and a destiny never meant to exist, she becomes the gods’ last gamble to change the fate of the world – because this time, there will be no second chance.

Summary
“Haven’t your parents taught you not to talk to strangers?”
“I’m Ellie.” She smiles, and he can see more gaps than teeth. “I’m six. What’s your name?” He sighs, he wants the kid to go, but he doesn’t want to be an asshole.
“Joel.”
“And how old are you?” He knows he’s not going to get anything done until the kid doesn’t get all her answers, so he decides to sit down, giving his back a little break.
“Twenty-eight.” Ellie nods, taking that information in.
“Okay. See? Now we are not strangers.” He can’t help but let out a soft chuckle.
“If you say so, kid.”

Summary
Suddenly, the older woman steps back and plunges the heel of her boot into the pumpkin, orange flesh exploding apart like a skull cracking open, and examines the contents closely. The adults closest begin to murmur.
Dina shakes her head. “Looks like it’s rotted.”
Images of decomposing flesh covered in fungi flicker through Ellie. “What does that mean?”
Dina shrugs, her eyes glancing back to her row of sprouts. “It means the plants are bad. Probably root rot from the rain. Stops the plant from growing properly.”
“Is that- are all the plants in trouble?” Ellie’s heart ricochets uncomfortably in her chest.
“It’s probably fine. We always have a few years where a bit too much rain comes through and ruins some of our crops.” Her friend tries to sound reassuring, but all Ellie can see is emaciated men in a cold room in Silver Lake, a cleaver held above her arm, and dead bodies strung up like slaughtered animals.

Summary
“You are gonna get the fuck out of here and go the hell home to be with your kid.” Grabbing the hammer from the table, he carelessly throws it to the corner of the room, where all the remaining planks are. “Because I’m tired of you two fighting over the stupidest things-”
“Stupidest things?” This time, it’s he who stands up agitated. “She burned her goddamn skin off her forearm, Tommy. There ain’t nothing stupid about it.”
“And why do you think she did that, huh?” Tommy’s face is turning red, and the only reason he’s not yelling is because somewhere in the back of his mind, he knows there are a lot of people on the lower level of the house. “Don’t you think that if she had the certainty that she could talk to you about this stuff, she would? Goddamn it, Joel. Just talk to the kid. You’ve had this before, you still do. But she hasn’t-”
“This? What the fuck are you-”
“A family, Joel.” The younger man stops and takes a deep breath. “A fucking family, asshole.”

Summary
One moment you had everything - a house, a family, a loving community. The other you lost it all, stripped bare of everything you ever loved by a brutal raid. You managed to escape with your life, barely making it to Seattle, when the city finally took from you the last thing that kept you grounded.
That's when you met her. Stone unreadable face, sharp blue eyes that could pierce through you, but a kind heart that almost looked out of place considering her whole facade. Abby took you in, kept you close. Maybe out of guilt, maybe out of pity. Maybe something else entirely. And slowly, inadvertently, something began to grow between two people who no longer believed in softness.
In a world built on loss, love might be the hardest thing to survive.
***
This story starts off in the months between Abby's return from Jackson and Ellie's arrival in Seattle, and will be canon compliant for the most part.
Reader is a former ballet dancer and has a VERY rich backstory, bear with me here.
No use of Y/N.
