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 pleaseendure 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!
