Legacies (CW) - Hosie
Apocalypse / The Walking Dead AU (also on ao3)
The world has burned down to ashes. Cities are all but dust in the wind, along with everything that everyone once knew. The living dead roam the deserted land and only those who make desperate sacrifices survive.
Hope Mikaelson, heir of her family's wealth, goes against her better judgement and takes people in, now the leader of a group taking camp in an abandoned parking garage in Atlanta. They fight for their lives against the dead every day, but the living seem to pose a greater threat.
Unwilling to let her guard down, afraid to risk the safety of her people, and haunted by her own mind, Hope finds her world flipped again when an unexpected group finds their way to her camp in need of help. Specifically the girl whose eyes see right through Hope's cold exterior.
Hope Mikaelson sacrificed everything to save the people she loves; she took the ultimate leap of faith diving into Malivore. Now she was all alone, forgotten, and without a plan. Well, not entirely alone...taking Ryan Clarke with her was a bit of an impulsive move. And now she's stuck with him...and something weird is going on between them.
Ryan Clarke doesn't love his family. His "father" is an evil golem who only uses him as a tool. He had no desire to ever return to Malivore after his terrible punishment years ago. However, now he's back...and it's all Hope Mikaelson's fault. If he's going to get out of Malivore alive, he'll need a plan because Malivore has changed and his father isn't the only monster lurking in the dark.
