Summary
“I know who my mother is, Sansa.” He doesn’t leave her the time to be startled by such a confession, for he immediately adds, “I have no desire to speak of the matter. But you should know that I know, now. And I have found it changes little to who I am, for that has been decided too long ago for a name or a story to destroy it entirely. I am our Father’s son. And I have decided that it is enough for me, and all I ever wish to be.”
It is not.
There was a time when he had wanted to be so much more than that to her. But time had gone by, in the war and in the cold, and all he knows now is that nothing could be worth abandoning who he is so as to obtain what he wants. -

Summary
Ellie is good at hiding. Good at hiding things. Good at hiding herself. When they played hide and seek at school, she was almost always the last one found. It did kinda make the other kids stop wanting to play with her unless she let them win sometimes, but you know. That was their problem, not hers.
Or: The places and ways Ellie hides.

Summary
It starts to get annoying when she keeps noticing it because, seriously, he’s such a fucking asshole. She doesn’t care if he needs stupid little notes to remind him to be an adult or whatever.
But then he stands between her and soldier with a gun and refuses to move.
And beats his knuckles bloody killing the guy.
Or: Joel is bad at taking care of himself, but he keeps taking care of Ellie. He also keeps noticing her laughter.

Summary
“FEDRA Military Preparatory has an opening for guaranteed two weeks of work,” the official replies, “pays twenty cards a day.”
Joel arches an eyebrow skeptically. “What’s the catch? Good pay and guaranteed two weeks of work, and nobody wants it?”
“Not a lot of people want to work with the kids,” FEDRA guy says nonchalantly, “they’re a sad sight.”
Joel blinks. “The kids are workin’ the job?”
Shit, it’s gotta be a breeze job if they got the little rats doin’ it. Guaranteed good pay for two weeks and a lighter load? It’s a bit tempting.
“It’s all I’ve got for today,” says the official, ignoring his question, “take it or leave it.”
Against his better judgment, Joel says, “I’ll take it.”
(Ellie and a very broken Joel meet in the QZ before she's bitten)

Summary
See, Ellie doesn’t really look at Joel like he’s a man. Not that she even looks at other men- not her thing.
Still, he’s just Joel.
It’s weird, the first time she realizes that he’s a man and other people see him that way.
(Ellie overhears some girls in Jackson talking about how hot the new guy Joel is. It brings up tough issues)
