I have some unfortunate news to announce to all of you. I'm discontinuing this fanfiction. I'm so sorry, but I can't do this anymore. I've had six fanfics to work on for such a long ass time, four which were current and not just re-edits. It's really hard for me to keep up with updating because of having multiple fandoms on my mind. I can't do that anymore. It's stressing me out and it's making me lose interest in all of my fanfictions and I hate that. I've decided that this is the only fanfiction I'm discontinuing because I'm just not into it as much as I used to be and while I'll always love the game, it just feels like work when trying to update this. It isn't fun anymore. While working on my other fanfics, those are still fun to do despite the stress. I'm still putting one of the three remaining current fanfics on hold until further notice because I need to limit myself to two current ones only so that not too much is piling into my brain. The re-edits will remain because I update those whenever the hell I please cause they are just re-edits/rewrites of chapters already made; so that's not all that stressful to deal with. Overall, I just need to dial things down a bit and removing two current fanfics from my schedule is gonna give me less stress to deal with. Anyway, here's the little list:

Re-Editing/Re-Writing: Until Dawn, Death Note

Hiatus: Inuyasha (Will Be Re-Editing All Chapters I've Ever Made At Some Point Cause God, It's Shit)

Continuing: Supernatural, Vampire Diaries

Discontinued: This Fanfiction

It probably seems unfair that this is the only fanfiction getting discontinued while Inuyasha is on hiatus but understand this, I've been writing that fanfic for a long time and I've wrote it about three times all together, the other two times being previous stories I deleted. I'm not stopping it again; I'm determined to finish that one for once. I won't give it new updates until re-edits have occurred so don't be too mad about this.

So, yeah, I think that's all I have to say about the matter, really. Long Story Short: This is discontinued, I only have two continuing fanfics currently, and I have technically three re-edits to do (but I can do those at whatever time I please without worrying about peeps getting impatient for updates; for some reason, I stressed myself out a few times trying to re-edit them before I realized I could take all the time I wanted with those without many consequences). I'm not saying peeps are like that (impatient), I just feel like I'm taking too long to update everything and that's stressful too so I had to lower my updating amount by half.

I feel like I've disappointed all of you, regardless of my multiple reasonings for doing this. I'm really sorry about that. But thank you for staying for the ride while it lasted. Special thanks to PokemonFreak90 for reviewing the most and for giving advice and whatnot in our dms; additionally, thanks for the additional ideas that I unfortunately didn't get to use.

To make up for this unfortunate event, I won't leave you guys wondering what the hell was to happen. I'll be leaving the following outline that I created so you have a general idea of what was to happen (or what could've happened if I didn't change my mind about the outline ideas). Thanks so much for sticking around and I'm sorry if I disappointed anyone with my decisions. I just couldn't take the stress anymore.


Overall (Basically, This Was Shit For Me To Remember)

1) Nathan will eventually want the world to be better with Ellie's help because he can't imagine having to raise a child in this life (in the future, he starts thinking about having children with Dani someday but is doubtful about it because of everything such as risks). But I suppose that would mean that his goal eventually becomes what the game is about: getting Ellie to zone z from zone a-y.

2) Daniella is protective of Ellie and cares for her. Ellie cares about Daniella. Nathan will, to an extent, become close to Ellie as time goes by but definitely not as close to her as Daniella will be.

3) Daniella voices her fear of losing Ellie, Nathan, and Joel silently.

4) Ellie and Daniella will have conversations throughout the rest of the fanfic, further strengthening their growing sibling-like bond.

5) Daniella has a bad scar on her leg and she will have a scar on her face once she gets it, it remaining there for the remainder of the story (this will be explained further into this outline).

6) Ellie already has a gun, thanks to Dani.

Throughout The Remainder Of The Story

1) Daniella is nearly grabbed by the Bloater but it's killed at the last moment by everyone in the group.

2) Daniella gets a scar on her face from a Hunter after the crash before she kills the Hunter.

- Daniella climbs out the broken back window of the truck and is grabbed, the hunter making her cut her face against a shard of glass as he drags her out, the glass barely missing her left eye. She fights against him as he attempts to sexual assault her and she kills him by smashing his face in with a brick and then a busted plank.

- During the above, Nathan is grabbed from/off the back of the truck and he kills the hunter by strangling him to death.

- Dani saves Ellie from a Hunter. Ellie returns the favor a few moments later.

- After the fight is over, Nathan patches up Dani's face and says something that pisses her off (you imagine what it is cause I didn't get this far) while Joel and Ellie look for supplies and a way to continue further.

3) There is a separation moment that happens. It happens in the hotel, originally where Joel and Ellie get separated.

- Nathan and Joel will be stuck together, fighting off a Bloater and other Infected as they try to reunite with Daniella and Ellie. That's the moment where I plan for those two to finally have a decent friendship and for Joel to finally trust Nathan fully or mostly, at least.

- I planned to make an original scene between Dani and Ellie during the separation. I never decided what was gonna happen, other than a few more hunters getting killed.

4) Daniella is wary of Henry. Nathan thinks Henry is gay from how he sounds when he speaks sometimes.

- In the sewers, Nathan will be with Joel and Sam while Daniella will be with Ellie and Henry. (another bonding experience for Joel to see how tough Nathan is, which will make him believe that Nathan is strong enough to protect Daniella always).

- Henry and Sam will still die but their deaths will affect Daniella a bit, especially Sam's death because he was just a kid.

5) Daniella is happy to see Tommy again and introduces him to Nathan. Tommy is kind to Nathan and Nathan is kind to Tommy.

- There is no scene of Joel following Tommy. It is replaced by an original scene instead because I'd rather follow the original characters than do scenes that don't involve them. While Nathan does go with Tommy and Joel, Nathan will not be present for private conversations between the two so those conversations will be unseen.

- In an original scene that backtracks to before the battle, Daniella reveals Sarah's death to Ellie and Tommy's wife gives Daniella the picture of Sarah, Joel, and herself.

- Daniella gets pissed at Joel when she realizes that he is trying to get rid of Ellie. She gets more pissed when Nathan agrees with Joel that they've just had too many close calls to continue going on like this. Daniella runs off with Ellie. Nathan goes after them with Joel and Tommy.

- Daniella and Nathan take a horse while Ellie and Joel take another. Callus is Joel and Ellie's horse. Epona is Daniella and Nathan's horse.

6) Firefly Stadium:

- Daniella is going to have the worst reaction to her father being impaled. In fact, it triggers a bad memory for her (meaning I'll make a flashback in between after Joel falls and when he is being help) and she could go into a momentary panic attack before someone snaps her out of it and tells her that her father needs her to be strong or something on those lines.

- Before she snaps out of it, a flashback occurs. PokemonFreak90s Idea Combined With My Own: She is supposedly alone, trying to do something by herself such as scavenge from an old building. She is on the ledge of the building, trying to get to a room that was blocked off but she slips and grabs the ledge at the last second. Before Tess gets to her in time (cause Tess is actually with her), she loses her grip and falls, injuring her leg to where it has a scar on it (that scar will be seen completely eventually; most likely will be seen in a sexual encounter between her and Nathan whereas he'll comment on them at last cause their relation will be stronger than it had been in the beginning).

- After snapping out of it, Daniella is going to be helping Joel walk and keeping him safe while Ellie and Nathan deal with the bastards that come their way.

7) Left Behind DLC:

- PokemonFreak's Idea: So Ellie could talk about how she got infected and lost her best friend while Daniella talks about how she lost her sister. (That's the part of the game where we learn Ellie's backstory, so this fits.) That's when Daniella finally sees that Ellie has become like a sister to her, and Ellie says that she feels the same way. Daniella's not just a friend, she's closer than that.

- Daniella and Ellie will be heading off on their own together while Nathan stays behind with Joel. The girls work together to find something to patch up Joel and make it back as Hunters find their hideout. When there is one guy left, he opens up the door and tries to kill Joel, but Nathan shoots him dead. Daniella kisses him as thanks.

8) Winter Hunting:

- Ellie isn't hunting.

- Daniella is the one who is hunting so the dialogue will be almost entirely different than that of what Ellie says in the game. She will react to David more negatively and doesn't like the way he is "swinging" towards her. She doesn't trust him even the slightest after he helps her deal with Infected, tho she is happy that she isn't dealing with them alone.

- After giving the meds to Joel, Ellie lays beside him as she takes a nap. Nathan pulls Daniella upstairs to the living room and asks her where she got them from. She avoids answering at first but when he thinks that she slept with some random guy to get them, she explains everything. They get further into an argument when Nathan says the guy could've done something to her and that he could've taken her from them. As a result, Daniella and Nathan kiss heatedly and have sex in the bedroom nearby, letting out their frustrations with rough sex.

- When David's people arrive, Daniella and Ellie both lead them away from Joel as Nathan watches over Joel (Daniella because she wants to protect her father and because it was kind of her fault for leading the bastards there in the first place while Ellie is helping because she doesn't want Daniella to do it alone and she is too stubborn to accept no for an answer).

- Following PokemonFreak90's Idea: Ellie gets kidnapped and Daniella manages to get away, heading towards where Joel and Nathan are stealthy like so no one knows where they are. In place of Joel, it is Daniella who gets Ellie's location out of the bastards and everyone sees just how far she'd go to protect/save Ellie.

9) After Winter:

- Daniella is suffering from these following symptoms: fatigue (sleepy, lack of energy), mood swings (anger and crying), and headaches.

- Nathan and Joel are trapped inside the bus while Ellie and Daniella come to their rescue. Ellie is knocked unconscious but Daniella is okay. Daniella and Nathan come up from air seconds after Joel.

- A Firefly knocks out Joel while Daniella and Nathan keep their hands up as they try telling them that Ellie isn't breathing. Despite their pleas, the Fireflies ignore them but eventually bring Ellie back.

- In an original moment, Daniella and Nathan argue with Marlene in the room they are within together beside Joel's room. They don't like that they can't see Ellie. Before Marlene leaves, Nathan asks if they have a doctor who can check Daniella cause she hasn't been feeling well. Marlene looks at the two, a surprisingly pleasant look on her face as she agrees to send a doctor their way.

- Joel wakes up to find Marlene and Nathan with him. Nathan is glaring at Marlene something fierce. Marlene tells Joel that he can't see Ellie and that Ellie has to die. Before she leaves, she also tells Joel that Daniella is staying there with them without telling him why.

- After killing the Firefly guy and getting information, Nathan reveals that Daniella is almost two months pregnant. Joel is pissed to hear that Nathan had been screwing his daughter and that the many close calls could've made her lose the baby but when they find Daniella along the way to finding Ellie, Joel sees how happy Daniella is about the news and simply states 'I still don't like the thought of you two... But it looks like I'm going to be a grandpa'.

- Nathan murders Marlene because of her attempts of holding Daniella inside the place.

10) Epilogue:

- Ellie learns that Daniella is pregnant and is happy. Actually, she is fucking excited.

11) Part II:

- Nathan is deceased. Explained why eventually.

- Daniella has a daughter named Tess. Tess, depending on how many years have gone by, will be age 2-7 approximately.

-Flashbacks will occur. Such as: Daniella giving birth, Nathan dying, Tess' first words, Play-date with big sister Ellie, Perhaps Joel could be dead and Daniella will take his role in the second story of the game.
