#TWD and Zombie Apocalypse Verse

[theha1rarch]

@thesongbiird asked: ▲ : leaning your head against their shoulder ( steve + beth )

( send a symbol for your muse to gently touch mine by: )

"Oh - hi -." Steve says softly with a light smile when he feels her head on his shoulder. He can't help but to admit to himself that it feels kind of nice and resists the urge to pull her closer. It was rare enough to get soft touches like this before, but even rarer nowadays - with what the world has become. "You comfortable?" He asks, teasing but only lightly.

twd or tlou or general undead apocalypse verses for bert OOHHH BOY!!!! the end of the world/obsessed with the undead cult went crazy when zombies started showing up and bert felt responsible for it (bert is the ultimate scapegoat to his hometown, even being called eve "for inviting sin into our grounds" for being trans/gay/being friendly with "spirits"/etc) but also bert felt free the second the world started falling apart. for once the world reflected what he felt since being born, and now it feels like he can live for the first time. > typically doesn't have his usual abilities and is just a normal person. has a large imagination and keeps imaginary friends for company. does have difficulty telling reality and imagination apart*

Joseph having a TWD verse is just him having a normal community with a bunch of guns and ammo available to his community, his brothers are with him and are safe because he specifically sought them out when the apocalypse began coming up.

Eve is alive in this au.

His community's been growing because he's on the radio calling to people.

He keeps people alive by relying on his healing powers and therefore has already basically mastered it during the apocalypse so much no one's that worried about dying to means other than a zombie bite.

Idk just a lot of thoughts rn for it-

[grimmusings]

⭐

Cassian (ACOTAR) + Nesta (ACOTAR): This asshole is finally starting to talk to me again after months of silence, and I screamed when you posted something about modern AU ACOTAR. High fantasy can be a struggle for me sometimes, but they would slay in a modern verse!

Frank Castle (Daredevil) + Harley Quinn (DC): Idk I just really want to throw Harley at one of my gruff guys like Frank or Brock and watch them have to deal with her chaos (but probably come to love her because she's adorable, obviously???).

Daryl Dixon (TWD) / Paul Rovia (TWD) + Ellie (TLOU): I looove crossovers, and mashing up these two zombie apocalypse universes would be so much fun! I could see Jesus as part of the Fireflies initially. Not sure what Daryl would be up to, but I'd love to find out!

This is a sideblog, and I follow back from my main @grimmusings. Please direct IMs there, since it's easier for me to keep all my messages on one blog.

Honesty hour questions will largely be answered IC and treated as anonymous unless signed by a muse.

All details vary based on verse, and I'm happy to pull Dean from most points in the Supernatural timeline or to put him in modern AUs/mash-ups with other fandoms. Unless it's a fix-it verse, I do not acknowledge his death in the series finale. I'm not familiar with Winchesters, so anything set there will need to be plotted out ahead of time.

wanted connections:

This is by no means a comprehensive list, and I can roll with most muses as far as basic interactions. I’m happy to ship Dean with other Supernatural characters and OCs/fandom crossovers based on chemistry, but unless they’re on my OTP list, they need plotting and interaction first. There is never any pressure to ship with me, even if they’re on my list.

OTPs: Castiel, Benny Lafitte, Katherine Pierce, Bucky Barnes NOTPs: Anyone in the family list (it should go without saying, but you'd be surprised) Family: Sam Winchester, Jack Kline, Charlie Bradbury, Claire Novak, Bobby Singer Other: Any Supernatural muses or crossovers from other horror/paranormal fandoms (e.g., The Vampire Diaries, The Walking Dead, Welcome to Night Vale, Good Omens, True Blood, Constantine).

default verses:

canon (+/-): Any point in the Supernatural timeline or after. May or may not include Castiel's escape from the Empty, ignore Dean's death in the series finale, or create a fix-it for those events.

horror!verse: Any verses that crossover with other supernatural/horror fandoms.

verses by request only:

I'm happy to write these, but since they're more specific AUs, I don't default on them for asks/memes. Please feel free to request them.

dark!horrorverse: After Dean accepts the Mark of Cain and dies, he's resurrected as a Knight of Hell, an extremely powerful demon. He cannot be exorcised, given that he's still in his original body, but the demon can be cured and the Mark taken on by someone else. (demon!dean)

king!verse: A mash-up AU of the Stephen King and Joe Hill universes, where all media takes place in the same world.

super!mcu: A mash-up AU of the Supernatural and Marvel Cinematic universes, where the Winchesters manage to stop the first apocalypse shortly before Thanos snaps away half the universe.

twd!verse: Set in The Walking Dead universe after the Winchesters managed to stop the first apocalypse, only to be hit with a zombie breakout (Note: I do use Soldier Boy gifs for this verse, so if you need to blacklist, the tag is twd!verse)

Though he distinctly remembers dying, he's unharmed there and must adjust to the new conditions, whether that's normal, pre-apocalyptic life or a different apocalypse scenario.

tlou: Jesus was fifteen when the outbreak happened, and he later joined the Fireflies in Atlanta, though he eventually becomes disillusioned by their tactics and lives as a nomad. (bio)

Will is a canon character from Robin Hood. All details vary based on verse, but in general he's a mix of headcanons, folklore, and influences from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991). I'm happy to write him into AUs and fandom crossovers.

default verses:

ever!after: Characters are reincarnated versions of their fairy tale counterparts, and few know who they truly are. Will is an ex Marine Sergeant who lost his arm and half his unit on his last mission and retired in Fableton. (bio)

fableverse: When the storybook worlds collapse, Will finds himself in a contemporary town called Fableton, where he works as a thief and a mechanic and does everything he can to avoid his half-brother, Robin. (bio)

horror!verse: Will is attacked by a rogue werewolf in the 1930s and joins a small pack of career military wolves, most of whom are killed in a dirty mission in the 60s. Reluctant to join and lose another pack, he primarily works as a bodyguard or a mercenary. (bio)

twd!verse: A zombie apocalypse AU with the same history as Ever After, only the breakout happens after Will settles in Fableton.

All details vary based on verse, but in general I write Frank based on the Daredevil/Punisher shows, with occasional elements or connections from 616 comics pulled in as needed. Please keep in mind that in this timeline, he is not a Vietnam veteran, but served in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

Please note before interacting that Frank is very hostile to known villains and will react accordingly, up to and including attacking or trying to kill them, but I will check with you before either so we can better plot things out. Likewise, if you prefer to plot Frank's death, I'm happy to work with you on that. Being an antihero has consequences, but communication is key. He does not kill innocents or heroes (and canonically won't even take a swing at Captain America).

OTPs: Maria Castle, Karen Page, Matt Murdock Family: I adore Dad!Frank, but he's understandably going to have a lot of trauma attached to that, so please run any canon/OC kids by me first Other: Steve Rogers, Billy Russo, John Hartigan, Nancy Callahan

default verses:

canon (+/-): Any events that take place within the Daredevil/Punisher timelines.

alt!postblip: A merging of the shows into the greater MCU, where Frank has just watched half the world be snapped out of existence and then returned.

semper fidelis: Any events that take place while Frank is with the Marines or the Cerberus Squad.

multiverse!madness: Various comics universes collide, whether Marvel/DC/etc. have always existed on the same Earth, or other-dimension shenanigans are at work. Duplicate friendly!

sin city: An AU set in the Sin City universe, where Frank is working as a detective with the Basin City police department when his family are brutally slaughtered by convicts he once put away. Almost two years later, the case is declared a mistrial, setting him on the path as the Punisher.

twd!verse: A zombie apocalypse AU that more or less follows a Walking Dead timeline. Frank's family was killed by humans at the start of the outbreak, which sets him on the path as the Punisher. When he's not taking out the trash, he lives alone in a remote, sustainable cabin surrounded by traps.

Verse 8: The Dead don’t Die

The Walking Dead / Zombie Apocalypse Verse

Born in California, Samuel is of English Irish desent, born to an English Mother and Irish Father, both of whom travelled to America prior to Samuel being born. Tragically Samuel loses his Mother in childbirth and so is raised by his Father alone, living on the family ranch located near the San Joaquin Valley. At the age of 17, with the permission of his Father, Sam leaves the ranch to join the Navy. At the age of 24 Samuel transfers to the Navy SEALS. Following his special operations training, he becomes a member of an elite platoon responsible for taking out high level targets. Eventually rising to become the leader of the platoon, he is a member of the unit for a total of eight years before finally abandoning his post after a mission in Botswana goes terribly wrong, resulting in mass casualties and the death of half his platoon. He spends the next two years working alone, undertaking black ops work; in exchange for his full Navy pension upon discharge, he agrees to covertly take out targets; those not ‘officially’ sanctioned by the Government. At the age of 34, having spent the last 17 years travelling the world, Samuel finally chooses to settle down in a medium sized apartment in Seattle, a city his Father took him to visit as a child that he has been fond of ever since.

For two years he lives in Seattle, using former contacts to go into business for himself as an assassin for hire, accepting only those contracts he is comfortable with; contracts for morally reprehensible men, the kind most would consider absolutely wicked. He has just newly turned 36 when the outbreak first begins and reaches Seattle. At first when seeing the news footage and pictures online, Samuel believes the cause to be the release of some kind of bio-weapon, responsible for turning people violent and crazed. As a man with many enemies, he finds himself more prepared than most, already having bags packed, hidden under the floorboards of his apartment, filled with tactical gear, weapons, passports, money and supplies, all designed to allow him a quick getaway if necessary.

After making contact with a crime boss Samuel has worked for frequently in the past, he is informed of a large boat leaving from the Port of Tacoma and is told that his skills will be of use on its journey, if he can make it to the port by sunrise. Upon leaving the apartment, he is prepared for encountering violence but nothing prepares him for the sight of his neighbours, a young couple in their mid-twenties, eyes glazed, mouths bloody as they furiously chase their own five year old daughter down the hallway. It is this first encounter that confirms two vital things to Samuel – firstly this is no bio weapon; these people are the dead walking and secondly, it seems the only way of stopping them is to destroy the brain.

After executing them both, he grabs the child and heads into the street; the city is burning, swarming and in no time at all, he finds himself descended upon, the child ripped from his hands as hungry teeth gnash at his visor and frantic fingers tear at his tactical gear. Mercifully, he escapes without injury but the incident haunts him from that moment on; some nights he is still awoken by the sound of the child’s desperate screams and freshly feels the pain of that failure all over again.

He makes it to the Port of Tacoma and boards a stolen container ship; the Lady Elizabeth, sailing as part of its security detail, returning to land only for supplies and to refuel. During his time aboard the vessel, each new trip to the mainland becomes bleaker and bleaker, making it clear that rather than recover, the world has collapsed. The living seem to be teetering on the brink of near extinction while the number of dead walking seems only to grow and grow.

He remains aboard the crew of the Lady Elizabeth for almost a year, travelling from the West Coast to the East but is forced to abandon the vessel after an electrical fault starts a raging fire in the middle of the night, one that causes the ship to rapidly capsize and sink. With what little supplies he can carry, Samuel manages to fight his way ashore, swimming through the bloated bodies of the living corpses that now litter the coastline, all hungry and eager to grab anything that passes by their way. By the time he reaches the beach, most of the crew are dead and are now making their way out of the water towards him.

After running through the night, fighting for his life, Samuel, having been separated from the other survivors, discovers he has washed ashore near Charleston. He spends the next three months scavenging, building up his supplies as he stays on the move, travelling from town to town.

Eventually, much to his surprise, he discovers a settlement of people living in Woodbury, Georgia. Having arrived with supplies, military training and weapons, he is welcomed by their leader, ‘The Governor’ but within only a few days determines that it is best he moves on. There is something off about this town but quite what Samuel just isn’t sure. When he leaves, his suspicions are confirmed the moment the Governor’s security detail tries to kill him. Having badly underestimated him however, before the night is through, Samuel succeeds in killing each and every one of the men sent to execute him. When he returns to the town a few weeks later he discovers it burnt to the ground and overrun with the dead.

Eventually Samuel settles in the small town in Laurens County, Georgia, named ‘Dublin’, feeling, due to his Irish heritage, that the name of the place is a good omen. It is there he creates a well defended home within the upper levels of the Military College building.  

--------------------------

Samuel is an intelligent man with extensive military experience and training, astute and observant, he is willing to do what it takes to survive, but he has not allowed his experiences in this cruel apocalyptic world to make his heart cold. He is not naturally aggressive and he will help survivors, but he is no fool and can’t be easily manipulated. He rides a motorcycle and has gathered a fairly sizable collection of them which he houses on the second level of the Military College Building he resides in alone. He has hidden various supplies around the town of Dublin, including fuel, weapons and food. He will protect his property and has no problem killing raiders. His experience has led him to believe that those who try to establish communities in this new world are destined to fail and as of yet, he hasn’t been proved otherwise. He both craves and fears human contact in what is left of his crumbling world.

v: a good doctor treats everyone the same ( the walking dead, the last of us, black summer, z-nation etc verse. )

Set during the Walking Dead or any other zombie based setting, Jonathan’s background is exactly the same, except he moved to the United States of America, as he needs to keep moving around every decade or so to keep people from noticing that he doesn’t age. It was while he was there that the dead began to walk, with him and everyone else plunged into the apocalypse.

Alone, Jonathan travels the US, both seeking to find a cure or create a vaccine to keep people from returning when they die, as well as wiping out as many walkers as he can along the way, in an attempt to keep remaining humans safe. He offers his medical skills to anyone who requires them, as he’s able to pass through entire hordes of walkers without being bothered by them, since they don’t recognise him as being alive, granting him ease to get around.

Also, due to the immense drop in human population, he is even more adamant not to take blood from humans, remaining much the same in the fact that he prefers to drink only from animals. Though this is another reason he has been traveling alone, because he is afraid of his hunger overcoming him and succumbing to it around survivors.

THIS MEANS:

He will offer his medical skills to survivors he comes across.

Drinks purely from whatever animals he can find. But remains perpetually starving, managing to go without human blood for years at a time.

Walkers don’t pay him attention due to him being undead.

He is actively seeking to create a cure or vaccine.

[elysiantouch]

open to: anyone !! plot: it’s the end of the world and i have a knife to your throat, so why the hell are you smirking at me like that, are you ok???? do you want to get killed????

     “either tell me why you’re snooping around here, or i slit your throat.” the bluff lies heavy and obtrusive on his tongue, threat unfamiliar where it glints in sharp gaze and sharper knife. jae can count on one hand the number of people he’s killed since the world went to complete and utter shit, and he’s counting on his steeled gaze and the knife he has to the stranger’s throat to keep him from adding to that count. he doesn’t think he can stomach the thought anyway, and he’ll probably be the one with a slit throat but - baby steps, baby steps. knuckles flex white over worn handle of the old knife as he presses it that scant centimeter closer, another bluff he hopes flies under the radar.

     jae thinks he’s got his threat down pat, knows he looks every bit the promise of a slit throat even when his heartbeat is hammering in his ears and his palm is growing sweaty from how tight he’s holding the blade, except -- “what the fuck are you smiling at ?” no one should be smirking like that with a knife to their throat, and the subtle curve to the stranger’s features sends anxiety balling in gut ; he feels like he walked straight into a trap, and is about to get killed instead.
