Fics like relational transgressions

“No,” he says, when four Fireflies as a unit manage to restrain him, pushing him to his knees on the floor. “She’s gone,” a nurse says in a voice that might be gentle if she wasn’t delivering his worst nightmare right to him. “No,” he says at once, the word nearly punched out of him. “No she’s not. Ellie, wake up.” “Joel-” It’s Anderson speaking to him, he realizes distantly. He doesn’t really give a fuck. The man is lying to him, trying to say that his kid is dead. “Ellie Williams, you wake up right now,” he orders. She likes her jokes, but this is going too fucking far. “It’s not funny. Now you wake up.” It doesn’t matter how many commands he gives her, though. Or how many pleas when the weight of what just happened starts to press in on him. The only response he gets is that piercing, damning alarm. (trying to get joel out of the way, the fireflies fake ellie's death) (...it doesn't end well for them)
