Summary
"A small girl was curled up on the stage on her bare knees, her arms across her uncovered chest in a heart-wrenching attempt at modesty. Her back was raked apart like putty, long and deep lashes surrounded by raised, inflamed skin. Ellie. The little girl with a mutilated back had a name.
Absurdly, Joel’s brain thought, her knees must hurt, digging into the wood like that."
(alternatively, FEDRA finds Ellie before the Fireflies do and stages a public punishment for sneaking into the mall.)

Summary
"Tess and Joel are awfully kind. Tess bosses Joel around, which makes Ellie giggle, and he sasses her right back, which makes Ellie giggle even more. They seem a little sad, to Ellie, but far more importantly they’re silly and kind and patient with her. Nobody has ever been patient with Ellie, not like this. When they finally take her away from the group home, on the way to the parking lot, Ellie has to stoop to tie her shoelaces twice. They wait patiently for her both times.
(When they get home, Joel teaches her step-by-step how to double knot her shoes. Judging from his familiarity with the motion of teaching it, it seems like he’s taught this to another little girl before.)"
(alternatively, the apocalypse never happens, and Ellie barely avoids becoming a statistic. her seventh birthday is spent surrounded by love.)

Summary
“What the fuck kind of sick game is this?” Joel demands with a growl.
Marlene sighs wearily. “She’s not Infected. Well, not as much as you’d expect one to be.”
Joel would look up at Marlene incredulously if he weren’t so busy pinning the writhing monster to the wall with the aim of his gun. And— well, if it weren’t for the adrenaline flooding his system, he’d stop and realize that the threat of a gun has never stopped an Infected before.
(alternatively, Ellie’s immunity only protects her mind.)
