#in every dream home a heartache
Chapter 10 - Big Creek Day 39
Title: In Every Home a Heartache
Rating:E
Fandom: The Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption 2
Genre: Tlou2 fix-it, slow burn
Warning: canon-typical violence
Relationships: Joel&Ellie, Joel/Arthur
Joel was moody. Ever since that first evening in the pub when he and Arthur had their ridiculous and utterly annoying giggle fit, Joel seemed pissed. It was like the first couple of days when Arthur had just joined them. Joel was unnecessarily rude and abrasive towards him.
Ellie had no idea what had gotten his shorts in a knot. She just knew that it was getting on her nerves. A lot. Arthur on the other hand just seemed mildly confused by it.
If this had happened earlier, Ellie would have assumed that the threatening incident in Kennewick to be the reason for that, when Arthur had suspected they might be part of this WLF militia, but to her own surprise Joel had seemed to have forgotten about it rather quickly. Maybe because Arthur had been right: Joel would have done the same thing, had it been about her or Tommy. Hell, he had done the same right after meeting Arthur and had paid him back in Kennewick almost immediately.
Something had definitely changed since the pub. And Ellie couldn’t figure out what the hell that was.

I drew my fic’s version of Arthur, because I had to.
