Title: "Joel & Ellie's Excellent Adventure": a The Last of Us Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Story
Fandom: The Last of Us (if anyone is not familiar with the game but wants to read because YAY IT'S A CYOA STORY, I wrote this post a few years ago that summarizes the game, albeit not very succinctly)
Characters: Joel, Ellie, OCs
Word Count: 448,130 total, with 275 "pages" (yeah, this thing turned into a monster... BUT it's easily consumable in much smaller nuggets!) Also, I have a MS Word or pdf version available if anyone is interested... but it's 1,175 actual pages, and the page numbering is not revised to fit that format, so I do NOT recommend that if you're reading on a screen
Rating: R
Summary: Joel and Ellie once traveled more than 2000 miles, over the course of many months... two years later, can they make it through a mere handful of days away from home? It's up to you!

Author's Notes: This is a long A/N, but it is (technically) the only one in the whole story, so please endure my parentheses abuse and read!

( Read more... )

Warnings: Contains game-like violence and language, and disturbing imagery or situations. Some choices will lead to the death of Joel and/or Ellie :( Remember, just like with the game -- if you die, you can simply start over! But if you'd really rather not... PLEASE SEE MY NOTES WITH PAGE-SPECIFIC WARNINGS for deaths, references to or threats of sexual assault/non-con, and notes about some other things you may encounter in a story that I did not tie to specific page numbers. If you'd prefer not to read these scenarios or would like advance notice before reading, please make note of which pages to avoid so you can enjoy the rest of the stories; there will not be any type of warnings on the pages themselves. It's like a 'real' book in that regard.

The warning page also contains a master page list (links to ALL pages), in case anyone finds that useful. When you reach the end of a story, there will be a link on that page for you to return to page 1.

Let me know if you have any questions. Anonymous commenting is enabled on all pages. I'd love to know what ending you get on your first go (as kids, my brother and I always said the first one was your "real" ending in the books!). You may proceed to page 1 from the warnings page or turn to page 1 here. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy!

Story Warnings & Master Page List for "Joel & Ellie's Excellent Adventure": a TLoU Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Story

WARNINGS
SPOILER ALERT: This section is intended for readers who wish to mentally prepare for or avoid certain subjects. Please make note of any relevant page numbers because there are no warnings on the pages themselves.

Joel Death: Pages 114, 158, 184
Ellie Death: Pages 36, 187, 194, 213, 226, 236, 267
Joel AND Ellie Death: Pages 135, 162
Ellie Death IMPLIED: Pages 74, 165
Threats of or References to Sexual Assault or Non-Con: Pages 112, 153, 163, 176, 188, 234, 251, 258, 261. Note: I struggled with this one... there are additional pages where this topic may be referenced but I didn't feel it was strong enough to warrant a warning. And there may be some more lighthearted... uh... Ellie-assaulting-Joel type discussion (on the romance side) that I didn't put a warning on? None of the stories feature Ellie being raped, and assault does not go beyond on-top-of-clothes groping.

Topics NOT warned for: Violence, injuries/maladies, non-major character death (i.e. anyone besides Joel & Ellie), suicide themes, panic attacks, mentions of child abuse, unhappy endings (aside from those warned for above), creepy shit, sexytimes (romance side only -- and there's not a lot of smut. Smutlovers will probably be disappointed!)

I should probably mention that while the Joel/Ellie pairing can be avoided by choosing the father/daughter option on the first page, Ellie IS only 16 in this story and thus, underage, if you go the romance route (although she is still a virgin, just... yeah). Please note that this is a work of fiction, and the TLoU universe is NOT our universe; in our universe, I would never condone such a relationship between a middle-aged man and a teenage girl. In THEIR universe... I only condone it if it's Joel and Ellie :)

Not a warning, just a fun FYI:
The start of my favorite storyline in the whole thing: Page 116


If you have any questions or if there's something specific you're concerned about -- including anything in the "not warned for" category -- please let me know.
