merlin-hols.livejournal.comTitle: And If The World Comes To An End, Please Be There To Hold My Hand
Recipient: oddishly
Rating: mature
Pairings: Merlin/Arthur (but only slightly)
Word Count: 4,979
Tags: Zombie AU , The Last of Us AU, Apocalypse, Dystopia
Content Notes/Warnings: mentions of major character death; some violence, since it’s a Zombie AU
Summary: Fifteen years after the downfall of civilization the world has come to a complete stillstand. The remnants of humanity are scattered all over the country, the only safe place for most people the so called safe-zones which are fully controlled by military rule. Camelot safe-zone has been in Colonel Uther Pendragon's hands since he established it in the first year of the outbreak of a seemingly incurable infection being spread by a rapidly growing fungus. He is ruling with an iron fist, convinced that only he can ensure survival. But a rebel group, who call themselves the Druids, are of a different opinion. Striving for an alternative government to end Uther's dictatorship they have been trying to develop a vaccine against the fungus infection that turns people into raging zombies. Despite their determination their efforts have been in vain until now, the work made even more difficult by an official prohibition to study the fungus and its effects any further. But now a new factor has come into play, creating a chance that Morgana, one of the Druid leaders and daughter to Uther, had been waiting for.
Author's Notes: Thank you a lot guys, for hosting this great event once again!
Since The Last Of Us is an amazing game I've been thinking about writing an AU featuring Merlin-characters for quite some time. Insert oddishly's prompts and tags which also featured things like Apocalypse AU and Zombie AU. It was perfect! Not so perfect was that I didn't really have the time to write the story I wanted so I had to compromise and only write a small part of it. So the fic is more like an extraction from a main story. I hope I was able to catch the vibe of a Zombie Apocalypse and also bring this to an at least partially satisfying conclusion.
Arthur and Merlin are not in a relationship here since the situation doesn't really give them much room to explore their feelings (and they also haven't known each other for long). But if I ever write the full story they'll definitely get together at some point.
Happy New Year to everyone!
