--- **Hearts Don't Belong in the Crossfire** *an OT8 SKZ Omegaverse Mafia AU* They didn't choose this life-but survival doesn't ask for permission. Eight strangers, each scarred by the world in different ways, are thrown together in the shadows of a city ruled by blood and power. In a world where alphas dominate, betas are overlooked, and omegas are hunted or sold, they're forced to rely on each other when no one else will. Two omegas. Three betas. Three alphas. Each of them dangerous in their own way. Each of them broken. But somehow, together... they might stand a chance. Nothing stays safe in the mafia. Secrets come at a cost. And love? Love can get you killed. **Angst, slow-burn romance, found family, and the aching kind of love that hurts before it heals.** In this world, the strongest weapon isn't a gun-it's a heart that still dares to care. ---

The world came to an end on June 15th, 2005, and ever since then, Chan stuck with the group of six he had collected overtime in their small town mall. When they find a stranger in the middle of the woods with one foot in deaths door, their peaceful post-apocolyptic lives are flipped over. (Crossposted on A03)
