Chapter Text
Map original from: Here
All modifications made by me. I'm just now realizing it's a bit off as the red and purple should meet before BL since Duck and Sarah met each other BEFORE making it to Big Lick, other than that it's decent.
This AU follows the Kenny path where you stay at Wellington with AJ and leave Kenny. There may be inconsistencies concerning ages, time passage between events, ect.
This is ClemVi, but most of it is focused on the relationships between Clementine and her past people and how that's affected her and her old friends. Tenn is alive, Mitch is alive, Louis isn't missing his tongue, Violet's eyes are A-okay, Brody and Marlon are still dead, Lilly is dead, Clementine is missing her leg still, but has a prosthetic, Clementine has the cheek scar, and James may not come up here.
Duck and Sarah know that the both of them have known Clementine. They do not know that Gabe has known Clem as well, and Gabe does not know that Duck and Sarah knew Clementine (way more than he did, too).
In order of their time with Clementine:
First, Kenny Jr., or Duck's path: (starts at 1 on map, at Ten years old) Instead of Duck getting bit at the motel, Katjaa, his mother, does. Katjaa dies from her bite, and gets put down at the Railroad stop where her and Duck originally died in Canon. Leaving Kenny without his wife and Duck without his mother. (2 on map) Duck makes it to Savannah with the others. When Kenny is presumed dead, he, Christa, and Omid go away from Savannah at Lee's orders. Leaving Lee to save Clementine in Savannah. Lee dies in Savannah from his bite, Clementine having shot him upon his request. Clementine, Omid, Christa, and Duck regroup. Everything is fine until one day months later Omid gets shot. Now it's just Christa, Duck, And Clementine. (3, late Twelve years old) While camped in the forest, they get attacked by scavengers, Clementine, Duck, and Christa are all separated from one another permanently. Duck heads North East for many months, barely getting by on his own, stumbling upon a girl named Sarah in nearby Roanoke, Virginia when he is 13, and Sarah is 15. They bond together, especially after finding out that they both have known Clementine, that they have both been separated from their fathers, and that Sarah has actually been with Kenny prior. (6) The two of them would later join the community Big Lick that operates out of Roanoke, Virginia (my fictional community).
Duck, Kenny Jr., or KJ is a 18 year old boy with fair skin with a sun burnt neck and shoulder, and brown hair with a lazy undercut from the community Big Lick who knew Clementine originally from when he was 10 to 12 and when Clementine was 8 to 11. It has been seven years since he last saw Clementine.
Secondly, Sarah's path: (4, at Fifteen years old) Sarah survives past her canon death, ends up the last alive along with Kenny, Clementine, and baby AJ. Clem, her, and baby AJ settle in Wellington, seperated from Kenny for good. (5, at Sixteen ish) When Wellington comes down, Sarah gets separated from baby AJ and Clem, who make their way to the Richmond area and end up with The New Frontier being one of the very first members. Sarah heads South East for many months, barely getting by on her own, as she isn't very skilled at hunting, but she's gotten better with the past help of Clementine. She stumbles upon a boy named Duck when she is 16, and Duck is 13. They bond together, especially after finding out that they both have known Clementine, that they have both been separated from their fathers, and that Duck is the biological son of Kenny, a man who Sarah traveled with for a time along with Clementine and baby AJ. (6) The two of them would later join the community Big Lick that operates out of Roanoke, Virginia.
Sarah is a 19 year old girl with tan/dark tan skin with black wavy hair and glasses that have splintering at the very top of the round glass, she's from the community Big Lick who knew Clementine originally when she was 15 to 16 and Clementine was 11 to 12. It has been five years since she last saw Clementine.
Sarah and Duck set up base in a nearby community in Roanoke, Virgina known for trade, named Big Lick (BL on map) for it's salt that lures animals into it's valleys. Sarah comes to pursue medicine like her father once did, in honor of what he did, and to help others, as she's always been a compassionate person with a drive for helping others. Duck is taught by the older community members how to shoot, he becomes a great shot, becoming a great hunter with good tracking skills and good trigger discipline.
Lastly, Gabriel García, or Gabe: (7, Gabe is Fourteen ish) Clementine leaves her latest group (Garcías/Richmond) on a good note, Gabe stayed with his uncle and mother and their new community, New Richmond to heal from the prior events and better learn to protect himself and his family, and mature. Now, three years later after the events of the war between Richmond and The New Frontier that gave birth to New Richmond, Gabe has set out as an independent benefactor for his community, set on the task to make connections with other communities. The second community he reaches out to being Big Lick, which he rides on horse for multiple days to get to where he finds, Duck and Sarah, a duo operating out of Big Lick in Roanoke, Virginia as the primary juvenile consultants of the community, a respected titled earned in the past five years they have lived in the community. He's directed to them to discuss relations between the two communities, New Richmond and Big Lick, to which Sarah remarks that she's interested in consulting with other communities to build relations as well. Duck, being like her brother, agrees to accompany her. So, Gabe, Sarah, and Duck pack up and they set off to another nearby community, Castle Violet, formerly Ericson's School for Troubled Children. A community that New Richmond was made aware of after finding a destroyed Delta ship that detailed the kidnapping of two children from a nearby school turned community to use as forced labour and soldiers. Sarah empathized with that, having had her time with Howe's Hardware, she knows what it's like, and hopes she can help with retributions to this small community they are setting off to reach out to.
Gabriel Garcia is 17 years old boy from the community New Richmond centered in the former The New Frontier base city who knew Clementine originally when he was 14 and Clementine was 13. It has been five years since he last saw Clementine.
