Summary
When Lou Buckley gets the call from his niece on a sleepy Sunday afternoon, he can’t say he isn’t surprised, but it’s a pleasant one.
“I was wondering - I wanted to ask if - well, my friends and I were wanting someplace to meet up once a month, just like for a weekend, and we were wondering if we would come stay with you? It’s kind of complicated, see, because-” Lou politely waits for Robin to finish her spiel, complete with loop-backs and tangents, fiddles with the twirls of the phone cord whilst he listens to her talk. He doesn’t need to hear it, though, because he said yes in his mind three minutes back.
OR
A year in Philly, as told by Robin's Uncle Lou.

Summary
Nancy heard a rustling from down in the hole, a panicked animal kind of movement. She stopped in her tracks, kept her gun up steady.
The noise stopped as suddenly as it started. There was a pause. All Nancy heard was her own deep breathing, the gentle wind, and some scattered birdsong that told her this thing probably wasn't a predator, whatever it was. And then the quiet broke.
"Stay back!" A woman's voice, raspy and dry. Nancy was thirsty at the sound of it. "I'm armed! You don't want to mess with me, I'm- Shit."
"I'm armed too," Nancy said, her voice calmer now, modulated, despite the pounding of her heart in her throat. "And you're stuck in a hole. I can leave you to it if you want, or I can throw a grenade down there to keep you company. Or you can put your hands up and maybe we can talk like civilized people. Your choice."

Summary
...
What would have happened if Joel was the one bitten at the museum? This is an exploration of TLOU, in which Tess takes Ellie across country in search of the Fireflies. What begins as a reluctant partnership grows into something much deeper, where bonds forged in fire breathe new hope, and a chance for redemption.
...
“You don’t have to answer now,” Tess tells her. “I get that it’s a big thing to ask, but I have to ask it. I just…I want you to know you always have a choice, here. Even if we do find Tommy, and we do find some Fireflies. You’re smart, and you have great instincts. Keep asking questions. Make informed decisions whenever possible.”
“That’s not always an option when you’re a fourteen-year-old kid,” Ellie points out, sounding much older than she is.
“When it comes to your body and what you do with it, it should always be. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Not even me."

Summary
Following the outbreak of a deadly virus that turns those infected into flesh-eating zombies, the world has been left desolate and devoid of any and all hope. With nothing left to his name but the clothes on his back and the little shred of determination he has left in him, Vinny travels across Georgia with a ragtag group of survivors in the hopes of finding some kind of shelter in this hellish storm. When the group eventually meet more survivors, everyone begins to wonder who will be responsible for the death of humanity: the ravenous walkers that now roam the earth, or the people who will drive each other mad in trying to survive them?
This work is part of a project of mine that's simply called The Walking Dead Fanfic Collab; every character in this fic is fanmade, with each individual cast member being created by a different person. This story seeks to emulate the tense, personal conflicts that made both the first season(s) of the games and show so popular. Hope you enjoy, and thank you to everyone taking part in this!

Jackie blew out the candle.
Her hands came up to hold the cupcake, palms warm and pulsing beneath Shauna’s knuckles. The touch was burning her up, making her feverish.
“What’d you wish for?” She asked.
(Wish for what you’ve always had. Wish for what’s already yours. Wish for me.)
