hi!! i just read your story for like the millionth time and i'm in love with ellie and her subtle power over earth. i was wondering if you could do a fic where we can see ellie use it more. maybe reader gets badly injured and ellie loses it (like she did when getting revenge in part ii-)
much love cherry.
Hey Cherry!! I would totally love to! I'm working on a lot of projects right now so it'll take a while. But I will totally add it to the list! Anything else you'd like to add?
synopsis. following the (shockingly successful) release of your band’s very first album, you somehow managed to completely forget about the importance in privacy. a drunken mistake it was to have made out with a rivaling band member. that’s all it was, a mistake. but, of course, the world deems it otherwise — hypothesizing about your guys’ deep rooted relationship. your fans come together, begging and pleading for more content with the two vocalists. in the end, they get what they want.
notes. here’s my attempt at making a more serious smau (my other one is atrocious & i’m lowk embarrassed at how many likes it managed to get. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE GUYS). anyway! here we are! hope u enjoy! also, as this smau remains in the planning stage, the chapter summaries are subject to change and altercations !!!
warnings. alcohol consumption, sexual jokes, strong use of language, horrible grammar, probably lots of plot holes let’s be fr

@vxsellie - For you girl <3
Masterlist
Ellie was in a mood... She had been for three weeks now. Why she was in such a mood I had no idea but she refused to tell me, let alone calm down. The worst part was she was taking her anger out on me. Since we lived together it was impossible to truly get any space unless one of us left. We had been living together for a few months now and dating for two years. Her duality is what made me fall in love with her in the first place. But now her underhanded insults were starting to sting.
I scan the room once more, avoiding her eyes. The stale air in the room mixed with the smell of weed made it suffocating. My eyes water a little from a fresh puff of smoke blowing into them. Our home was practically a hot box with how much she had been smoking. The couch felt rough beneath my calloused fingers. I had been working in the gardens for a few weeks now and my hands had gotten a handful of cuts and calluses. Ellie wouldn’t let me touch her anymore and I blamed my hands.
“Are you even listening or what?” Her voice reaches my mind and my eyes finally snap to hers.
“I’m listening, Ellie,” I say, hoping she doesn’t snap.
“Fucking finally..” She mutters. Another puff of smoke that I wave out my face. Despite all the weed she still seemed on edge, which was a feat in itself. “I have patrol today.. Need you to get a job gardening,” Ellie sits up slowly, a little dizzy.
“I was actually thinking of going on patrol with you today.. You know.. Switch it up?” I say standing from the couch to grab her some water.
“Did you not hear what I said?” Her green eyes narrowing,“I don’t want you outside the walls, just go garden like you always do,” Her voice is harsh but I try to focus on the fact she wants me safe inside the walls.
“I understand that Els but-”
“Why can’t you just fucking listen?! I’m trying to keep you safe!” She snaps. This rage was uncalled for.
“I don’t need you to make decisions for me Ellie.. I’m fully capable of being safe.” I argue back, my fist clenched around the glass of water. My eyes met hers once more as she sat on the couch. All I see in her eyes is anger, no fear.
“Cordyceps is no joke! You’re not immune like I am!!” She argues, standing to meet me
on an equal level.
That sent me back to when Ellie had told me of her immunity. We had been walking outside the wall on a warm summer night. She was awkward as hell grabbing my hand with her own sweaty ones. Her eyes sparkled as she told me about her day. She and Dina had been on patrol when they ran into a bear—scared the shit out of them, causing them to finish patrol early and ride all the way back to Jackson. They laugh about it now. She got so serious though when she told me Dina almost got bit. I watched fear etch her features before she turned to me.
“Babe, I need you to know something..” She whispered, my brows furrowed. It seemed this was serious so I stopped smiling and faced her.
“When I was younger I had a friend… sorta… her name was Riley and, well we were really close. Long story short.. We both got bit…” That last part left her mouth slowly. I looked at her confused.
“But.. there’s no way you should be alive right now if you were. Are you pulling my leg?” I asked as I tilted my head in her direction. Confusion all over my face. Ellie huffed and scratched her neck before holding out her tattooed arm and running her fingers over the chemically burned section.
“That day I found out I was immune…” She said softly, her eyes not meeting mine anymore.
She had to be shitting me.
“Immune..? Like.. immune immune?” I asked, grabbing her wrist and pulling her arm closer to my face.
“Yea..” She whispered.
“Really Ellie? That’s some bullshit and you know it,” I said before dropping her arm, “Tell the truth.”
“Wha- hey! That is the truth! Look, the chemical burn was me covering the bite mark!” She said as she lifted her arm back up again and practically shoved it in my face.
“Alright! Alright! So let’s say this is true.. Why tell me?” I asked as I pushed her arm out of my face.
“Cause… cause I’m pretty sure I’m in love with you…” Her voice is so quiet, like a whisper. She stared at the floor beside me while I looked at her shocked.
“You… you love me…?” I whispered as I stepped closer to her. Ever so slowly her eyes met mine. I could tell she was nervous so I sent her a smile.
“Something like that..” Ellie muttered. My smile grew and I moved forward once more as I wrapped her in a hug. She hugged back almost immediately, but not before she wiped her palms on her jeans.
“I love you too Ellie..” I whispered to her and the stars. My eyes trailed to the moon and I wished then and there that this moment would never end…
“You have got to be fucking kidding me. You’re not even listening again!” Ellie’s harsh voice snaps me out of my daydream. She must’ve been going on a rant again. I often zoned out when she did that. “What did I just say?? Huh?”
“I’m sorry, Ellie, I don’t listen to you when you get like this.”
Ellie rolls her eyes, “You’re so clever so how can you be so dumb?”
That hurts a little so I send her a glare, “You have no right to talk to me like that!” My hand clenches around the glass of water again.
“I can talk to you however I want!” She argues back, her arms waving around in frustration.
“No! You can’t! I am your equal and partner! Not someone you can just talk down to cause you’re pissy about something! I have been nothing but kind and patient with you and you’ve just been rude!!” I snap. My anger gets the better of me and I squeeze the glass so hard it shatters. Pain reaches my senses as I realize I’ve been cut. Blood seeps from my palm and I grimace. Without looking at Ellie I rush to the door, wrench it open, and slam it behind me. The cool fall air hits my face and I shiver.
I decide to patch it up before dragging my feet to the gardens. Getting work done with this was going to be a pain, but it was better than staying with Ellie right now. One of the sweet women I work with gives my hand a concerned glance. She offers to help but I decline as I slide a glove over the hand. Work takes a few hours and by the time I’m done, it's as dark as the stains of dirt on my clothes. Trudging back home I decide to take my time and marvel at the lights in Jackson. The peaceful walk back shatters when I open the door to see Ellie sitting on the couch still- -clad in her patrol gear. When I walked in her head snapped to me. Ellie stands quickly and walks over to me.
“Where the hell have you been?! I’ve been worried sick!” She looks me over before noticing all the dirt spots. “Why are you filthy? Did you fall or something?” All my patience vanishes.
Deciding I’d rather not fight again today I start walking to the kitchen to just put some space between us when she grabs my wrist.
“Ellie let go,” I say, not in the mood.
“No.. you left without even saying anything and left a mess for me to clean. You’re so messy.”
That does it.
“Really Ellie?! You wanna sit here and nitpick me?? I get what you’re saying, but really??”
Ellie lets go of my wrist, a little shocked at my outburst. But I wasn’t done.
“I’m too messy and then I’m too fucking clean! I’m too perfect till I open my big mouth. I’m too clever till I’m too fucking dumb!” It all starts pouring out as I step closer and closer to her. She begins backing up as tears well in my eyes.
“You told me to go to the gardens then wonder where I’ve fucking been!!” I poke her chest as I stare into her eyes. She seems to start to understand so I keep going.
“You can’t even talk! You smoke weed to help you sleep. Then get stoned at four o’clock! You come home from patrol to me and don’t even say hello before you’re yelling at me. All 'cause I made a mess!”
Her face falls as she stares at me in realization.
“I want to be me! Is that not allowed?! I wanted to go on patrol! But no! Instead I had to work all day in the gardens with a gash on my hand!”
Ellie stares down at the floor. It seems I finally woke her up from whatever cloudy haze she was in.
“Thousand different people I could be for you Els.. and you hate the fucking lot…”
That last line seems to finish her off and she starts to tear up. My breath is fast and my hands shake. Rage truly overtook me. I wasn’t the most patient person in the world. But usually, I was a bit more composed. Seems Ellie really hurt me…
“I…” She whispers. Tears drip down to her chin before falling onto the cold floors. My breathing slows a little as she fiddles with her fingers.
“I just.. Joel did some really fucked up shit… and I lost it…took it out on you…” She takes a deep breath and wipes her face with one hand.
“What the hell happened?? And why didn’t you tell me that?” I ask gently. Ellie takes another deep breath. She begins to explain that she could’ve been the cure for cordyceps.. If Joel hadn’t taken her from the fireflies and killed them all. I stare at her in shock.
“I just got so furious… I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forgive him for that…” My heart hurts and I take a hesitant step towards her.
“Ellie..” I start. She brings me into a hug and cries into my shoulder. Tears well up in my own eyes. Now I felt bad for snapping. One of my hands rests on the back of her neck while the other wraps around her. I could tell she needed this hug. We both did.
Slowly I move us over to the bed and take off our dirty clothes before laying back in bed with her. She holds me like a lifeline as she calms down, her skin cold on mine. Moving the covers overtop of us I secure it tightly around her as she snuggles into my chest. My fingers rung through her short auburn hair. I take her hair tie out and pull it onto my wrist.
“Look.. all those things I said… I never really meant them.. I just.. I wanted someone to hurt with me... So I’d feel less alone..” She was surprisingly self-aware.
“Dork,” I mutter. She looks up at me with a glare.
“I open up my thoughts and feelings to you, and you call me a dork?? Really?” I watch as her composure cracks, a smile spreads across her face.
“Yup. Dork.”
“Rude..”
“You love me.”
“Yea… I do…”
Ellie spends the next few hours talking everything out. We discuss it all before deciding to put steps in place to prevent this from happening again. It takes us a while but we work it out. I glance at the clock to see it’s almost 2 am. With a yawn, I relax further into the pillows.
“Ellie.. I know it’s going to be hard… but could you try and forgive Joel..? If not for him or yourself.. Maybe for me..?” I say gently.
She says nothing for a moment before take a deep breath… and ever so slowly nodding her head.
i thought I was a fool for no one // but mmh, baby I'm a fool for you
STATUS : [COMPLETE] // masterlist
racer!ellie x racer!reader au : Ellie Williams is the undisputed queen of the tracks. That is, until you enter the picture.
You ready, Williams?
Auburn fire scorches the dark as her unruly head emerges from under the helmet. The crowd roars.
A smile cuts through the dim light, all teeth and as cocky as ever. She wears no name tag, her only identification being the signature white and red of her racing gear, the sleek black of her custom GT500. Not that she needs one anyway. They scream her name from the sidelines, the syllables a live pulse at the starting line.
Ellie Williams.
You lean against the door of your C7, trying not to scoff too loud. This was going to be a long night. Her eyes narrow as they fall on you, acid green sharpening to deadly precision.
Who the hell are you?
