the zombie au
The protocol upon discovering corpses is very simple. Assess the damage from a safe distance, strip the remains of all their belongings, then smash their head in with whatever’s handy lest they go on to awake with a vengeance and a mindless craving for human flesh to boot.
Kara whispers a silent apology and a note of gratitude for the woman the body used to house as she kneels down beside it. After one last cursory once-over, Kara reaches for the backpack, still clutched tightly to the woman’s chest.
At the very first tug, a pale hand shoots up and seizes Kara by the wrist.
a.k.a. the Zombie AU, wherein there’s a million reasons why Kara shouldn’t save this perfect stranger, but she does anyway.
a/n: This was originally a tumblr fic series, but trust me when I say it has since taken on a life of its very own. And if you’re unfamiliar with the ficlets, well, please enjoy (: !
