What happens after

Summary:

After lee dies he suddenly wakes up in a room with no doors or windows, just a cinema screen and a shit ton of chairs, oh and the small matter that almost all of the people he had seen die of the past few months were here as well

What in the goddam hell is happening?

Notes:

Hi so i have wanted to write a story like this for a while but i recently started replaying all the games and it just pushed me over the edge so here i am

this story is tagged with Clem and Violet but that won't happen for a while because we are starting with season 2. i just want to be clear upfront that this is Clem and Violet endgame (sorry not sorry Louis)

also not everyone who dies in the game will come here either, only people who i believe are close to Clem or Lee.

i also have to be able to write them and like them myself so that already leaves out a lot of the season 2 group, really the only people from season 2 who will be in here are Luke, Kenny (when he eventually dies), Sarah, Rebecca and Alvin. I'm not sure how i'm going to write Sarah being here without Carlos but if you have any ideas let me know, a lot of the season 3 people also won't be here because its my least favourite season (really only Mariana, i would include Gabe but its possible for him to survive the game whereas Mariana always dies)

ok enough rambling, enjoy the story

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Bang

 

Darkness....That's all Lee can see

Silence.....That's all Lee can hear

 

Slowly though Lee is starting to hear some noises and see a white light growing brighter

is this it... am i going to heaven

 

The noises start to become louder as the light becomes brighter, now that Lee can hear them better the noises sound more like voices

 

"oh my god did she actually just do that"

"so is he coming here or is he going to be like Kenny"

 

what...Kenny...what is happening

 

Finally after what feels like an eternity the light clears up and Lee can see... A Cinema screen?

 

"Oh my god, LEE!"

 

Lee feels something hug him from behind, he relexify goes for his knife but when his hand touches his waist he realises there is nothing there, the second realisation he has is that he has two arms

 

"Yo Lee man you ok?"


Lee finally turns around to see what is hugging him, at first al he can see is short brown hair and then the person lifts their head

 

"CARLEY! wait...what is happening you're dead?" Lee looks around and finally sees the people around him, Doug, Carley, Katjaa, Duck, Chuck and Ben. All people he'd seen die, then he notices two extra people near the back of the group that he doesn't know though he feels that he's seen them before

"Yeah...I don't really know why but after all of us died we ended up here" Carley finally lets him go

"wait...so i'm..." The memories of getting bitten and telling Clem to shoot him come back "oh... i need to sit down" Carley leads him to one of the chairs where he just drops onto it, he puts his head in his hands trying to process all of this


"Lee, are you ok?" Carley kneels down in front of him

 

"yeah...yeah i just needed a minute, so let me get this right, we are all dead. and we are now here. for what reason?" as he's saying this he looks around, it just looks like a cinema, only with no doors

 

"I don't know why we are here but we can see what's happening to the living through that screen, we haven't tested much but it seems to only be you and Clementine that we can see and we can't choose when it turns on... it just turns on" as Carley says this the screen turns on and everyone turns to see

 

Clementine is walking through a field crying holding lee's gun in one hand. she stops and sits on a log, after a minute or two she looks up ready to continue but as she looks where to go next she sees two figures on a hill in front of her, after a few seconds the figures stop and seems to notice her...

and then the screen shuts off

 

"see, it gets a bit annoying after a while" Carley grunts angrily wanting to make sure Clementine is ok

 

"So we can see what Clementine is doing right now through this?" Lee asks trying to get his head around it

 

"Pretty much... also there's two people here who would like to meet you" Carley pulls him up and over to the two people he noticed before

"Hi Lee, my name is Diana. this is Ed, we are-" the woman starts to introduce herself but then Lee remembers where he has seen them before

 

"Clementine's parents!" Lee immediately backs up a little bit thinking that one or both of them are going to hit him

 

"Don't worry Lee, we aren't angry. we actually want to thank you" Ed starts

 

"You saved our baby, if it wasn't for you she probably would have starved in that treehouse or been...eaten by those ghouls" Diana finishes giving him a hug

"Oh uh, you're welcome. to be honest, she saved me as well." Lee rubs the back of his neck a little bit embarrassed

 

"Yes we saw what happened with Sandra, poor girl. she was so nice" Diana puts her hand on her heart

 

"No...well yes but that's not what i meant, if i hadn't had to take care of her and had her positive light around i either would have taken myself out in the first few days or gone so far that i would never have come back... You raised a good one" Lee shakes Ed's hand

 

After they finish talking the screen comes on again

 

Clementine is standing in a forest with a new coat on...
