Elora wasn't normal, by any means. She was shy, reserved. Everything she hated. She didn't like people, didn't like speaking and didn't like taking charge. But in this world, fate isn't often on her side. Navigating a world ending virus that breaks out at her school, losses unimaginable and the will to survive when she believed she couldn't, Elora quickly turns from the sheepish girl she was to a hero she always wanted to be. Or...so she believes.

Even If It Breaks Me
The world ended quietly. Not with fire, not with warning-just silence, and the ruins left behind. Claira never asked to become a fighter. But survival doesn't wait for those who hesitate. Each step forward is heavier than the last, burdened by the memories she refuses to let go of and the people she refuses to stop searching for. Inside the fragile safety of an abandoned school, a group of strangers fights to hold onto something like hope. Outside its fences, the road is endless, broken, and filled with threats that never sleep. And somewhere out there-whether in the ashes, the shadows, or the miles ahead-are the answers Claira can't stop chasing. A story of survival, memory, and the thin line between holding on and letting go.
Project X
"A virus" that's what they said it was, just a virus... What virus you know that causes slow walking, flesh eating, rotting flesh of the undead to rip you to shreds ? Can you answer that? In the midst of a sudden zombie outbreak, a young girl finds herself navigating a world plunged into chaos. As she struggles to survive, she forms unexpected alliances, confronts her deepest fears, and discovers her own strength amidst the darkness. Along the way, she grapples with the moral dilemmas of survival and the haunting question of what it truly means to be human in a world overrun by the undead.
Z Diaries
A virus spread throughout the whole world without anyone realizing until it was too late. People were turning into zombies, flesh-eating human corpses. The government desperate for salvation opened its hidden bunkers. Some fled to other countries for a higher chance of safety. Some died on the way to those said bunkers. Some turned to those creatures they were running from. Those who are lucky and rich enough to enter the bunkers are now momentarily safe and hidden wherever those bunkers are. But it's only a matter of time before those bunkers break. While many were left outside, fighting for their lives and trying to survive, they were sleeping in comfort inside those metal havens. Unbeknownst to those who were safely enjoying themselves inside, there was something more outside, waiting for the bunkers to open. Ziya, who wanted to find her sisters, started to travel. At first, she was alone until a few people found her and became her companions while traveling the dangerous highways. How they manage to trust her despite being aloof, she doesn't know. But they knew she was a great help to them. With her unnatural instinct and calmness while fighting the zombies despite being half blind she was pretty useful to let her go. They kept asking other questions but eventually stopped when they realised they won't receive answers anytime soon. They were just letting her join them because she's useful and they felt guilty leaving her alone. To her defense, she doesn't trust them, and she doesn't want them to trust her. She thinks they're a bit stupid for letting her join but staying quiet about it. She just wanted to stay alive and find her sisters. And she just needs to keep her own secrets and lengthen her patience. •Cover edited by me. •Photo of Sofia Isella from Pinterest.

THE RISKS
"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: There are some things that you can't outrun. That becomes all the more obvious when the world is ending, when there's nothing left but the feral creatures that were once people, consumed now by a virus that's made them cannibalistic and ravenous. It might just be easier to end it all, but Claire still has one last thing to fight for. Her younger sister. And she intends to keep her safe, no matter the cost. So, with no other options and her sister in tow, Claire ventures out into the dangers of this new, unforgiving world in search of safety, security, and answers to some long burning questions. The first two things -along with some new, unexpected questions- she finds in an unlikely place: a stranger who she's become indebted to. She has a feeling he can help her answer all her questions, if she can allow herself to fully trust him. Trust, she thinks, is a fragile thing. Humanity, a construct. Love, a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.
We Ain't Ashes ~ TWD (Daryl Dixon)
She was far from home, wandering through the wreckage of a post-apocalyptic world that no longer made sense. The rules had changed. The future was gone. All that remained was survival, day by day, step by step, always looking over her shoulder. She never expected to find hope again. She didn't expect safety. And she sure as hell didn't expect to fall for a man with a crossbow and a heart he tried to keep hidden. Daryl Dixon was unlike anyone she had ever known - powerful and untamed. A man who carried his pain like a weapon, with eyes that held the weight of a troubled past. He didn't trust easily. He didn't let people get close. But there was something in her, something raw and real, that held him quietly captive. Thrown together by chance and bound by the instinct to protect what little they had left, they begin to find something neither of them believed could survive the end of the world. Not just trust, not just loyalty, but connection. And in the spaces between bloodshed and silence, in the ashes of what was once civilization, they discover that even in the darkest times a love they never expected could take root - raw, real, and relentless. But in a world where every choice carries a price and loyalty is tested in fire and blood, can love really survive the end of the world? Mature content 😜 Original female character. Some main TWD plot points included but with lots of divergence. Beginning just before the start of season one and will follow the entire run of the show.
