The Last of Us: Left Behind. A short one-shot about how I think Ellie and Riley said their finally goodbyes before Riley turned. i didnt wanna make it too sappy and O/C so i figure less is more. Takes place by the carousel, about a day and a half later. This is my first fan fiction, had to get it off my chest.
