Summary
This follows Jim and Leonard from their first meeting on the shuttle from Riverside through to about six weeks in to their first year, and tracks the development of their friendship (and the underlying attraction) as they get to know each other. Leonard suspects Jim hasn't had an easy life. Turns out, he's absolutely right, and Jim only copes so far.
Jim....Well Jim just wants to reach out. And he's awful at it.

"Somethin' tells me that innocent isn't the best choice of words to describe you, Kid," Bones said, setting up the regenerator.
The ease in Bones's voice made Jim relax somewhat, and Jim grinned. "What, you don't believe I'm the apple of everyone's eye?"
"Don't believe it for a second, Darlin'," was Bones's immediate retort, and Jim didn't start at the pet name, thank you very much.

Summary
Sprained left wrist, dislocated right shoulder, compromised right knee. Multiple hematomas around his body if the pain was anything to go by. Probably broken ribs, at least three on his right side, maybe more. Blood dripping from the side of his head where he felt the smash of the helmet, probable concussion. Holsters with his pistols and belt gone, Hidden knives on his arms.
He'd had worse.

Summary
Ellie notices that Joel never takes off the bracelet she made for him. Not once does it ever leave his wrist. He touches it a lot too. When he’s anxious or upset, and his hands are trembling, and his breath is shaky. When he’s happy and being too damn sentimental, and his eyes have gone all soft and warm. She catches him brushing calloused fingers along the braid and heaving a heavy old man sigh like something in the bracelet has resettled whatever had been out of whack.
She has no idea why, but the sight always makes her kind of want to cry.

Summary
Her breaths have just evened out enough that he thinks she’s asleep again when he hears her mumble thickly, “‘M sorry, Dad.”
Immediately, his eyes fly open, flooding with tears, and his heart lodges itself in his throat as he tries to— tries to process that this is the first time Ellie’s spoken to him in days, and she’s apologizing for… Well, he doesn’t even know what, and she’s calling him Dad, and—
— and he hasn’t been a dad in a long time, and it hurts, it hurts so damn bad, it feels like he’s cracking open from that one single word, it feels like it’s tearing through him and reminding him of how he failed the last little girl who called him that, and—
—and he loves Ellie with a fierceness that scares even himself, and hearing her call him Dad has mended something at the very same time that it’s broken something else.
He remembers back in Jackson, when he so cruelly said You’re not my daughter, and I sure as hell ain’t your dad.
Oh, how wrong he’d been— how foolish, to think he could ever give her up.
or,
5 times Ellie calls Joel Dad and they don't talk about it, and 1 time she doesn't call him Dad and they do talk about it.
