He only ever comes in after midnight. The bell above the door barely makes a sound when he steps inside, but she always notices. He sits in the same seat. Orders the same drink. Keeps his back to the wall like he's expecting something to come through it. He doesn't talk much. She doesn't ask questions. And somehow, that becomes their thing. In a city that never really sleeps, her bar becomes the one place he can exist without being watched, without being needed, without being the man everyone expects him to be. No missions. No blood on his hands. No ghosts standing at his shoulder. Just a glass of amber liquid. A quiet bartender with steady hands. And the kind of silence that feels safe instead of lonely. He always leaves before sunrise. But he always comes back. What starts as wordless understanding slowly unravels into something deeper - lingering glances, half-finished confessions, the brush of fingers when she passes him his drink. She never asks him to stay. He never promises that he will. Because loving someone like him means accepting the spaces between. And somewhere between late-night storms and early-morning goodbyes, she realizes she's falling for a man who doesn't know how to stop running - and he's falling first. A slow-burn romance built on tension, quiet vulnerability, emotional healing, and the kind of intimacy that doesn't need to be loud to be devastating. He was trained to survive the end of the world. She might be the only thing that makes him want to live in it. OC x Leon S. Kennedy Canon-divergent and inspired by the events of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil: The Dark Side Chronicles, Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Dead Aim. ⚠️ This story contains slow-burn romance, mature themes, suggestive scenes, and implied intimacy.

The concept of a normal life is something you can't get a grasp on. You've tried, really, but it seems that no matter what you do, you always end up back in the eye of the storm. College is ruined. You did some suspicious things. You accidentally became an agent and now risk your life on the daily. It can't get worse than this. (But hey! At least you have Leon Kennedy by your side!)

You don't really stop loving someone like Leon Kennedy. You just learn how to live in the space they left behind. A life once built on promises-future plans, quiet mornings, names for children neither of you ever got to say out loud-slowly collapsed under the weight of distance, danger, and a world that never stopped taking him away from you. He was always leaving. And you were always waiting. Until one day, waiting stopped feeling like love... and started feeling like survival. So you let him go. Seven years later, you still don't know if that was the right choice. But some people don't come back the same. And some never stopped looking for you.

You wake up in a hospital you don't recognize. You know you're married to Leon S. Kennedy. You know something between you two broke. What you don't know is what happened next. As you try to piece together what you've lost, he should be searching for answers. But instead, he starts to feel something he shouldn't. There's something about you he can't ignore. And he decides to stay-even if that means carrying a truth he hasn't told you yet. The question is, when you remember everything, will what you built together be enough?

You and Leon are two survivors of Raccoon City who somehow ended up stuck with the exact same fate: working for USSTRATCOM. For six years, you were never close, just two people who knew of each other and kept a respectful distance. After a failed bioweapon recovery, that distance gets ripped away and you're suddenly in each other's space. Both on the job and off, you end up seeing the parts that were always hidden behind the veil... WARNING: This story will contain sexual content, violence, mental health issues and explicit language.

When the world collapses, it doesn't do it quietly. Leon S. Kennedy was an FBI agent twenty-four hours ago. Hungover. Recently dumped. Still trying to prove he wasn't just another badge with good aim. Then the dead stood up. Now Atlanta burns. Armed with only his Silver Ghost, a combat knife he scavenged from a ruined home, and instincts sharpened by something darker than training, Leon finds himself protecting a young girl named Sherry Birkin - daughter of CDC scientists who may know why the world ended. On the road to Atlanta, Leon crosses paths with Kyle Borja - an Atlanta cop who moves like a ghost and cuts like a machine. Katana in hand, customized pistol at his side, Kyle is the only man Leon's ever met who fights like he's already adapted to the apocalypse. Inside the city, survivors are fractured. Power struggles rise. The military has fallen. A tank sits abandoned in the street. And someone is still alive inside it. As alliances form and tensions ignite, Leon must navigate not only the dead - but the living. Old names will appear. Chris. Jill. Claire. Ada. Rick. Shane. But this isn't their canon. This is a harsher version. A bloodier version. A world where: Trust is negotiated with violence. Love is slow-burn and complicated. The dead aren't the only monsters. And Leon Kennedy was never in Raccoon City... but he may be standing at the start of something worse. Survival is only the first problem.

Two elite weapons. One nightmare. || A new virus has surfaced, threatening to unleash another global catastrophe. Desperate for answers, Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, Carlos Oliveira, and Luis Serra take a dangerous gamble: abducting the one person who might know how to stop it.

To him, Umbrella's sins can never be forgiven, and you're a constant reminder of everything he's lost. You hate being treated like a prisoner. He hates that he has to trust you. | LEON KENNEDY x READER | | The book contains mature content which is not suitable for a younger audience (OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE, ALCOHOL ABUSE, PHYSICAL ABUSE, GORE AND SEXUAL THEMES) |

Twenty-year-old Y/N lived a life of quiet mountain air and morning bread deliveries in the secluded valley of Valdelobos. But when the sound of the grindstone replaced the morning birds, her world dissolved into a nightmare of black bile, serrated bone, and the rhythmic chanting of the damned. ​Caught in the crosshairs of a fanatical cult, Y/N is no soldier. She is a survivor marked by an infection that is slowly weaving its way through her veins, turning her blood into a countdown. ​Enter Leon S. Kennedy. ​Sent to rescue the President's daughter, the elite agent didn't expect to find a terrified civilian holding a rusted knife and fighting off the shadows. Now, trapped in a village of monsters, Leon must decide if he can save a girl who is already "tethered" to the enemy-or if he'll have to be the one to pull the trigger when the infection finally takes hold. ​In a world where to die is to live, two souls are forced together in a brutal dance of survival, silver bullets, and a connection that burns hotter than the fires of the village square. ​Survival is the mission. She is the distraction he can't afford to lose. ( 𝗬/𝗡 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 )
