Ignore this if it’s not your vibe, but I’m a sucker for a zombie!au.

OKAY OKAY OKAY. I read your zombie apocalypse Johnny snippet AU. Reader’s husband is Gaz. It has to be Gaz. Perfectl husband Kyle, golden boy Kyle tied up in his morals. Johnny and Gaz are so close, they’ve been tied at the hip since they met. A bond forged in fire, cooled in blood. It doesn’t really matter what happens, only that when everything turns to shit, Gaz isn’t there. And Soap has to worry about you and your baby, so he does. He swore to Gaz so long ago that if anything happened to him that Johnny would look out for you. Johnny gets you to safety. Fuck everyone else, he’ll make sure you and your baby are alive and well. He doesn’t care what he has to do, who gets hurt in the process. He tells you all about the ideas he has, a farm, somewhere safe. Where your baby, his baby, could cry and no undead would come running. A place that’s warm with enough food for you to never worry, a place where he can give you and your kids, his kids, life you all deserved.

But Gaz inevitably comes back. Walks out of hell and straight into your arms. And Soaps is filled with an emotion he cannot name. Yes, he’s glad Kyle is alive, fuck, of course he is. But what has Kyle done to keep you alive? Has Kyle stayed awake for days to ensure you can rest, scavenged until his hands bleed to ensure you eat, taken down threats with nothing but his teeth and claws to ensure you are never afraid? Kyle doesn’t understand that the world has changed, that they have to change with it. That they have to become monsters to ensure that you never do. Kyle doesn’t know what Johnny has sacrificed for you. How much of himself he has carved away to keep you fed.

Maybe Johnny and Kyle develop some insane psychosexual thing where Johnny is obsessed with corrupting Kyle to ensure he’s the one other person he can rely on, the one other person who he can trust to keep you and your babies safe. And if Kyle can’t live up to that? Johnny has killed for you before, and you’ve lived without Gaz for this long, you’ll learn to cope without him again.
