Why not Syb dive into a zombie AU 😱 With Jacob or Eli... Or both 👀 They would make an excellent team of survivors 💪

Send me a potential AU and I’ll tell you five fun facts that would happen in a story

oooooh i'm not super into zombie stuff, so i'll do my best here but...

there's still the whole divide amongst the townspeople of hope county and the project at eden's gate. joseph claims that the zombie plague is a sign of the end times and only his followers will survive society's inevitable collapse. meanwhile the people of hope county are just trying to get by, but that ideological divide is enough to make it so they're competing for the same resources, all while trying to stave off zombies the entire time.

i think i'd set this up as syb being an enforcer/peacekeeper in her little community (ie, she's breaking up fights and helping resolve any disputes that arise) and her brother is a hunter/forager who knows the terrain and local flora/fauna enough to find food. but one day he doesn't return home and syb is determined to find him. with eli (another hunter/forager) as her guide, of course <3

shit goes down that leads to the two of them being captured by jacob and they're taken back to the project where they're hiding syb's brother. only, because augustine was sympathetic to the project, he's allowed to do the "easy" chores, cooking and cleaning, and generally being accepted into the cult, while syb and eli are handed over to jacob and conscripted into doing hard physical labor and other dangerous jobs (like clearing out zombie nests).

now. i can see things going two different ways from there. first is that something really bad happens that involves syb, eli, and jacob all ending up stranded together and they have to rely on each other to survive (ot3 good ending <3)

OR, jacob takes an interest in syb and wants to have her integrate into the cult, but he also sees that eli has feelings for her as well. only, instead of killing eli himself or sending him on a suicide mission (like a normal bad guy would do), he manages to gaslight syb into believing that eli was bitten but was hiding it and convinces her to put eli down like a rabid dog </3

ཀཀཀཀཀ⚔︎ཀཀཀཀཀ

I have never known peace

Like the damp grass that yields to me

The song rings out, above the vast ocean and towards a starry void. Thought to be quiet, silenced by the sounds of the sea and an uncaring wind that carried the voice away from the ship.

I have never known hunger

Like the insects that feast on me

The greying doctor sat cross-legged at the bow of the ship, back pressed against the foremast. Emerald gaze carefully watched the horizon for anything that'd prove to be a danger to the crew. For what seemed like the millionth night, Evanidus offered to take the first watch overnight, knowing he wouldn't sleep if he were to go to bed. It was better to let himself grow exhausted, too tired to fight sleep, mind too muddled to have any nightmares.

A thousand teeth

And yours among them, I know

Below the deck, the crew is falling asleep, aided by the ethereal voice of their doctor. Unbeknownst to him, this is an almost nightly occurrence. The captain smiles softly as they tuck themself in for the night. Although they've heard the song before, it's usually sung by a duo, rather than an individual.

Our hungers appeased

Our heartbeats becoming slow

Evanidus finds himself, hoping, praying that he'd somehow hear the familiar voice harmonize with him foolishly believing he'd hear the voice of a loved one long dead. The song, despite the subject matter, they'd sing it to their daughter, watching her struggle to fight sleep curled up into her bed. It was a struggle to sing now, almost painful. How long had it been now? Over a decade a least, but the wound on his heart was still festering.

Footfalls closeby startled Evanidus, stopping his song and making him scramble to a standing position. Face reddening, he realized that the other had heard him singing.

❝ You scared the hell out of me! ❞
