adventure apocalyptic lgbt ocean outbreak post-apocalyptic sciencefiction scifi slowburn survival thriller virus

After a quickly mutating virus ravages the planet, only those on the ocean survived and the high seas are home to what's left of the human population.

Days before the virus spread the Atlas, the largest cruise ship in the world, set out on its maiden voyage. Among its passengers of rich, semi-famous, and elite is Rick Harvard. An FBI agent originally put on board to babysit a US Senator, Rick now finds himself in charge of the security and safety of what might be the largest civilian population alive on the planet.

A globe away in the warm waters of the Caribbean, Dr. Daniel Cove launched with his only friend (and Captain) and a new research assistant to continue his life-long study of Humpback whales. And while the Atlas is concerned with figuring out how to feed seven hundred people, the fact that he's unable to go back to land is Dan's dream come true.All Rights Reserved

WalkerZ - A Zombie Apocalypse Story by TheOrangutan

As a scout for what remains of the government in a post-outbreak world, Merryn is sent to investigate an old naval supply depot in a nearby city but finds so much more than zombies. ***** A year after a virus leaves the world infested with shambling zombies, those who remain attempt to rebuild a shattered country. Supported by her friends and colleagues, Merryn forges a path through the post virus landscape, finding other survivors, and searching for anything that could help everyone survive. The best and worst of humanity still live, but things take a turn as nature plays another card: a young woman could be the key to everyone's survival as one variant after another changes the behaviour of the walkers, once again threatening the scattered remnants of humanity as they teeter on the brink of extinction.

Objective~Zero by pinkil0v

This story follows some teens and young adults going on a ship together for years. They were sent because of the main idea of a fun trip. What they didn't know is that some of the people on the ship were injected with a type of infection that would have a deep effect on them later on. Cannibalistic type effects to be exact. No one knows about this, not even the captain has any clue that this is all a test for NASA's new," Treatment for youth". They soon find out that the ship is slowly crashing down while they are being chased by man-hungry victims. They also learn that to survive, they have to try and vote out the cannibalistic murders before they kill everyone off the ship. Everyone is the enemy, they have to learn that, but basing off of some people on the ship, that's not likely to happen. Who are the infected of the ship? Who will die or get voted off? How many people will survive this test? Read to find out!👨‍🚀💉🔪🔌

What Lasts in Us by monstrousbeauty

**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.
