Summary: You had a huge crush on your brother’s best friend. Turns out, she likes you too. But you found out in a weird way.
Warnings: older!ellie, ellie and reader fuck themselves to each other idk, fingering, ellie gets caught by reader, reader’s race not specified, reader isn’t described as masc or femme, kinda sub Ellie
You huffed as you shoved a third finger into your soaked pussy. It was Ellie, aka your brother’s best friend, who made you this wet.
Earlier today, you bumped into Ellie in the hallway. She whispered, “Sorry darling.” And boy did that make you go feral.
You knew she was just being nice or putting pity on you cause you were her best friend’s little sister, but that had to mean something!
Your thumb rubbed tight circles on your clit before you curled your fingers in your sopping hole. Your hand was slapped over your mouth so no one could hear your pretty moans. Hence Ellie and your brother were snoring away in the room across the hall.
You always had this weird fantasy that you would get caught fucking yourself by your years-long crush. And then she would fuck you senseless.
Memories of Ellie accidentally brushing her hand over yours when you went to grab the same thing or when your knees would touch when she so carelessly manspreaded flooded into your head.
You pictured her sucking your clit with her oh so pretty pink lips, or her slender fingers buried deep in your cunt as she whispered nasty things in your ear.
Your palm nudged your puffy clit as they pumped in and out of your pussy and your eyes were closed in bliss.
Your eyes snapped open when you heard a creak from the door. You looked at the ajar door and saw the lean build of Ellie.
Her hand was shoved in her grey sweats and her teeth bit her lip, biting back her whimpers. She looked so pretty like this. Her freckled face was beet red and her eyes were squeezed shut.
You wanted to call her out but she looked too good to look away. But you just had to. “Ellie!?”
Her emerald orbs shot open and she looked at you, eyes wide. “Fuck..” She looked so embarrassed but it was so cute.
She snatched her hand out of her boxers and hid it behind her back.
She was quick to explain herself, when she really couldn’t. “I came here cause I-I heard sounds in that room,” she was stumbling on her words.
She was the worst liar ever.
You were embarrassed too, but something clicked in your head.
You got out of bed and walked up to her. And you kissed her. What was going on in your mind?
Ellie’s eyes were wide open. She always wanted to kiss you, but she couldn’t cause your brother would beat her ass. She was quick to kiss you back.
You pulled away, face warmed up. “Go to sleep, ellie.”
She nodded and quickly walked away. She looked like a deer in headlights.
You went back to bed, smiling like an idiot. You couldn’t wait to see what happens tomorrow.
One of my favorite parts of TLOU2 is how Tommy tries to honor his brother's memory in a way Joel would approve of, and that means protecting Ellie even if it means possibly losing his life.
Because he's 100% right, when he says that Joel wouldn't have gone to Seattle to avenge their deaths. Joel's not vengeful. Joel doesn't seek revenge. Joel protects and internalizes; when he murders people, he does so to protect.

When Tommy leaves for Seattle, giving strict order to Maria to not let Ellie out of the town's walls, he's doing so because he is doing anything in his power to honor what his brother would've wanted him to do, even if in a very roundabout way. He leaves for Seattle because he knows that now Ellie has her mind set on getting revenge, and hopes that, if he enacts it in her place, she won't leave the safety of Jackson in order to achieve it.
This is why the change between Seattle Tommy and Farm Tommy is so staggering: in the former, he's okay leaving without murdering Abby because his main goal was to keep Ellie safe and sound; in the latter, though, he has lost so much (his brother, his leg, his abilities of sniper, his wife) that the only way he can make sense of it is by pushing Ellie into finishing it.
More than halfway through the story, Tommy actually is vengeful for the first time. For the first time, him and Ellie are the same.
so we all know that pivotal moment in joel and ellie’s relationship when joel calls ellie “babygirl”. *sobs*
but we’re gonna talk about these names a little deeper.
so we know that “babygirl” was kind of joel’s pet name for sarah. that and “baby”. he calls her this multiple times up until her last moments and then some even after she’s passed. those are joel’s pet names for sarah, his daughter, the most important person in his life.
it’s why when he calls ellie “babygirl”, we know then for certain that joel sees ellie that way, has seen her that way. in his mind, she hasn’t been “cargo” for a long time, but the moment he calls her “babygirl”, it’s out there between them both. it’s official. ellie is his kid.
but the thing is, that’s the only time we hear joel call ellie “babygirl”. that moment and that word served it’s purpose. it drew it’s connection within joel between sarah and ellie. we now know, as the audience, that joel feels for ellie what he felt for sarah.
so where am i going with this? well, every other time after this that joel calls ellie a pet name, it’s “kiddo” and i think that’s really cute and important. “kiddo” is ellie’s special joel nickname like sarah’s was “babygirl”. it’s also prevents sarah and ellie from overlapping in joel’s head and to us. he isn’t replacing sarah, he never could, so joel, whether on purpose or not, separates the two and affectionately coins them each their own pet name. maybe for his own conscience so it doesn’t feel like he’s replacing sarah, but either way, i find it super meaningful and cute. it probably makes ellie feel special too, like “babygirl” probably did for sarah. coming from a life like ellie’s, where she is an orphan and has been for fourteen years, i can only imagine what it feels like to be someone’s “kiddo”. finally.
sarah is “babygirl”, ellie is “kiddo”, and joel has two daughters and an equal amount of love for them both. he made extra room in his heart for ellie, he didn’t kick sarah out.
