Fics like sedate

“Joel,” Ellie says, voice absolutely devastated. Her popsicle–held so far for ten minutes without taking a single lick–is dripping down her wrist, and he takes it from her after a small power struggle and puts it back in her cup. “Yeah, baby?” He asks, wiping the melted popsicle off of her skin with a damp washcloth. “They-they took my ‘ppendix,” she sniffles, voice breaking. “Joel, they took it.” The words make her burst into renewed tears, and he tosses the now mildly pink cloth into the sink. He can’t sit her up all the way, not until he can be sure her stitches won’t pop, but he cups her little–damp–face between his hands, rubbing his thumbs across her cheeks. “That’s okay,” he soothes. “They were supposed to do that. It was giving you a bad time, remember?” She blinks at him, nose twitching as her breath hitches. “Nooooo,” she says, face crumpling, the word drawn out into a squeak. “Joel…they-they took my brain, too.” (the ellie coming out of anesthesia fic i couldn't resist writing)
