Requiem: A Catholic Mass for the repose of the souls of the dead, a solemn act of remembrance.

Or: A collection of Resident Evil stories surrounding mostly Resident Evil Requiem. May sneak in RE2 Remake and other games somewhere along the way as well.

(Also, my stance on Kennecroft? I don't mind it! I just like Grace and Leon's chemistry together a lot, so I'll take em any way I can get! Family, Platonic, or Romantic. No incest will ever be involved here.)

Stories Included
-Exit, Downstage: What if the rescue at the end of RE9 took a little bit longer than in canon?
-A Requiem, a Reunion: The FBI, specifically, Dempsey, creates a penpal system between the DSO and the FBI, and a young Grace Ashcroft is assigned Leon S. Kennedy as her penpal. Essentially: What if Leon and Grace already knew each other before RE9, and how would it go from there?

Planned fics of the series(not up yet)

-Fighting the Horrors was Bad Enough...How Do You Live?: Sequel to Exit, Downstage. Grace and Emily have moved in with Leon, or rather, moved into the apartment next door... and try to begin a normal life as a family.
-In Some Ways It Is Always September 1998: Sort of a side fic for A Requiem, a Reunion. Leon tells Grace what he knows about Alyssa surviving Raccoon City. AU of an AU-Fate decides to be a bit kinder to Leon and Grace in their first meeting.
-Worst? Fall Break Ever: Leon/Reader RE2R 'The Apocalypse is in Another Castle' AU. AKA, Raccoon City is not the site of the T-Virus outbreak, nor does it get destroyed. You're a college student that moves back home to Raccoon City after you've freshly graduated-and the hysteria of *something* going on in another city, has you end up running into Officer Leon S. Kennedy... literally. You're pretty sure you want to go jump into a hole out of embarrassment, but Officer Kennedy wants to make sure you're okay. Slowburn!
Leon Can Parry That???: Semi Crack/Jokey fic inspired by the fact we can parry literally anything in RE9. While waiting for their final examination after the fight in the ARK, Leon attempts to distract Grace with what exactly he got up to on his own. Grace learns her new friend can parry rockets. Shenanigans ensue.
-Until it Sleeps: It's a fact of life that Leon Kennedy's been infected more times than he'd like to admit. Las Plagas, the creepy shapeshifting BOW from Gaiden(not canon, ik, but hold on with me), the virus from Death Island... but somewhere along the way, that strange cocktail of viruses bent to his whims, made him more than human-and now he's been running around with a T-Virus infection. Even though he's been cured, the strange reintroduction or the T-Virus has reawakened the old viruses, and they're more than ready to help to his whims. So what's Leon to do when the events of Requiem unfold? Help. However he can.
(Inspired by Venom and RE: Gaiden, my take on Infected!Leon.)

These next ones are idk WHEN I'll do but hey they're ideas

-Sherry, Leon, Grace, Emily Domestic Fluff
-RE4R Leon/Reader, 'The Apocalypse is in Another Castle AU', Bodyguard x Protectee
-RE9 Leon/Reader: Normal game stuff, idk what I'll do with it tbh
-Notes From a Village: The events of RE8 have passed... and a father watches his daughter grow up.
-AU RE9: Things don't go well. At all. But Leon has saved Grace... right? So why has Leon awoken in the FBI, completely healed?

Turns out, he's time traveled. To fix things. All of it. And curiously, the world hasn't realized he's died... so time to fix things.

(Bad Ending Time Travel Fix It)
-Sometimes It's Better to Keep In Contact: Following the events of Resident Evil Death Island, the "Residents" of Resident Evil try to keep in contact a little bit more, especially in regards to Raccoon City Syndrome. So when Leon goes on his mission and goes off the grid, some of his friends try to help.

Or: RE9, but the plot does not ignore who else might be infected with Raccoon City Syndrome.
