Antifragile
I say I want you inside me and you split me open with a knife
Richard Siken, from Crush; "Wishbone"
Synopsis
It embitters you how easily a world can turn lawless.
Utter carnage that bleeds thick and uterine in the palm of your hands like some carcass. The morals had gotten to it first before they could get to you. It ruins you in a slow unstitching, digging your grave in the absence of light. A needle and a thread.
The bane of this existence has turned a new leaf, a mottled carapace swaddled by the rot of what could be and what must be: there is a gloss in the corpse's eyes and you call it anomie. It smiles at you and bears teeth like fruit but something sick brims and chokes inside you. The dead gift you with the high-pitched cacophonies of skulls splitting, chaotic crescendos from knife running down skin, a hem cut open. You bury yourself inside the shape and let it swallow you down because there is nowhere to run when the bodies start piling. Nowhere.
Don't you see? Good and bad are redundant words on an already stiff tongue. Raccoon City has fallen into the blur that binds the two together. You think you can escape it if you run far enough, even if it is a darkness that distorts the ends of your vision, nestled in the husk of your blood and bones. But this virus lives deep inside the dead in a way that warms even the living. You are drawn to this destruction in the same way an angel is drawn to a god.

Or, being a member of S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team has its perks. But fuck, you owe Jill a beer for saying zombies aren't real. Looks like that didn't age too well.

Notes
WHAT UP i miss resident evil like omgmgmgjskfhjkdghdfj and since they're announcing a revamp of re 4 next yr, i figured why not take a trip down memory lane.
this fic is set during re 0 lmao and will probably go on until re 4(?) i sort of want it to have multiple love interests bc i love chris, jill and leon<3 so theyre the love interests... though it might be more of a leon fic since im following re2 and 4 LOL.
this is very lore heavy and there isnt rlly a plot LMAO since i'm following canon (mostly) until i dont wanna follow canon. so............... my bad. Going back on that misc book tag when i said i try to write unique plots Because fuck that i just want some romance in the middle of an apocalypse.
Per usual if i see you being annoying i shall simply mute you. I'll be terrorising you as a whisper behind your ear, a shadow at night. I am ... [Insert ichor ambrosia silly sapturn rings of aphrodite aesthetic words]. literally don't give a fuck anymore ill just mute you and say Bye bye like a nursery rhyme.
Reader uses she/her pronouns.
Now take your bets. Will I finish this fic or will this fic finish me? Stay tuned to find out.... or not.
