the last of us has got me in my feels and i’m dying for a good zombie apocalypse plot atm. i had this idea in my head where muse a was either muse b’s neighbor or even something cute like his child’s teacher and the two of them were enamored with each other from the day they met. a relationship soon started between the two and they were falling more and more in love with each other every day but right before their one year anniversary, the virus hits and the world turns upside down. at the beginning of the outbreak, they manage to escape together but a few weeks after they get separated by an event. both of them think the other is dead and make the difficult decision to go on without them by their side. to survive. they know that’s what the other would have wanted. time goes on, and five or maybe even more years pass when muse b arrives at the safe zone where muse a has been staying for the last few months. they have an emotional reunion ( like pls imagine the tears & the angst! ) & it feels like they were never apart to begin with. however, they’re not the same people that they were back then and they need to get to know these new versions of themselves as they start living in normalcy again. give me cute threads with them reuniting, soft whispers, kissing each other’s scars in a quiet room as they talk about their journeys since splitting up & things that have happened since ( oof, and the trauma? lord. )  but also maybe a thread where they go scavenging or something outside the walls of the safe haven and one of them gets hurt or something? there are so many possibilities... gimme.
