Summary
One minute Chris and Leon are fighting their way through a self destructing bioterrorist facility trying to escape before the whole place blows up.
Then the next minute Chris is waking up at his desk in the old S.T.A.R.S office back at the R.P.D with all his old squad laughing and teasing each other just like the old days. Overcome with the sudden weight of his grief, he finds himself struggling to adapt to this crazy world he's stumbled into.
His friends are all alive.
The Spencer Mansion Incident never happened.
Raccoon City is still intact and blanketed in a refreshing layer of snow.
And the craziest part about it all: Albert Wesker is good.
Chris can't wrap his head around it, but thankfully he doesn't have to do it alone. Leon followed him into this strange world, looking every bit like the rookie he used to be, but just as confused as he reunites with Chris to figure out what happened and how they can get back home to their own lives.
But do they really want to leave when everything in this new world seems so perfect and peaceful?
What dark secrets is it truly hiding behind these serene boring lives?

Summary
Joel’s seat moves a bit, indicating that someone has sat down next to him. There’s no overtly offensive smells coming from them, so that’s a small blessing, but he doesn’t open his eyes. Please let them not be chatty, please let them just sit there for the next ten hours and leave him the fuck alone.
The bus starts rolling from the station, the noise level cresting briefly and then dropping back down again, and Joel finally opens his eyes, chancing a glance over at the person sitting next to him.
Scratch that – the kid sitting next to him.

Summary
“Well, if you’re that concerned, I’ll be your date,” she tells him, finishing her own beer and setting her bottle down on the table. Joel splutters, choking on his drink, and swipes the back of his hand over his damp mouth.
“Tessa…” he starts, and Tess waves his words away.
“I’m a model fuckin’ date,” she says, and Joel pinches the skin between his eyebrows. “Plus your mom already loves me.”

Summary
Rick woke up in a hospital bed surrounded by people that were dead only he wasn’t. The last 12+ years had been a dream a figment of his subconscious. He’d only been in a coma for six months. He tries to live his life with his family but he can’t forget the family he found. When he runs into a familiar face he realizes he hadn’t made all of them up.
Suddenly he’s found himself searching for the man who was his brother and saving the woman who was a sister to him from an abusive marriage. In his dream he saw how they looked at each other but they were both too afraid to admit their feelings. Maybe in another life they could figure it out. With a shove from Rick of course. -

Summary
Working as a police officer requires Rick to distance himself from the individuals involved in his cases. Objectivity is key. However, when the gorgeous trans woman who Rick’s been too chicken shit to talk to at the local queer bar gets wrapped up in a case that threatens her ability to stay in the closet, Rick does everything he can to protect her and get justice. Second chances are as rare as meeting your soulmate, and Rick doesn’t believe in soulmates, but maybe, just maybe, he believes in second chances.

Summary
The snow was coming down heavy. Rick’s windshield wipers seemed like they were getting tired.
He thought about how at this point, the roof of his house would be coated white. His mailbox, too. His front yard.
Rick thought about the spoon in his fridge, right next to the milk.
“Why… Carl, why…why is there a spoon in the fridge?” He’d held it up in front of him, and Carl ran forward, grabbed it from his hand, and said, “To snow! So it snows, and I don’t have to go to school.”
It had snowed. A lot, actually.
Carl would put a spoon in the fridge every time he wanted it to snow. It worked. Every time.
or
When Carl goes missing, Rick is forced to either stay searching for him through his job as sheriff and risk his son turning into a cold case or seek out help from other sources and risk his job. -

Summary
Daryl's been on his own for six years now. Almost seven. He's been out of the fire, but he still feels the world around him burning. He likes his job at the auto shop. He likes his little studio apartment. He likes the neighbor girl Beth. But he still wakes up every night, drenched in sweat even when they're not in a heatwave. Still hears his father's voice in his head, feels the scars on his back like they're fresh. Still hasn't wrapped his head around his freedom.
Rick is powering through it. The loss, the anger, full custody of his two kids. It was a dream of his once to never have to send them back to their mother's house again, a silly thought but one he felt in his heart every time they left his Jeep for the week. He's gotten his wish now at a terrible price: the loss of his ex-wife and childhood friend, and the terrible knowledge he has to choose to bury for the sake of his kids.
Their paths cross and while Beth may try to take credit for playing matchmaker a little bit, they end up starting something that neither one wants to stop.

Summary
WORK IN PROGRESS
When strange attacks have been plaguing the town in fear, you become suspicious of their origin.
Your focus on your studies wanes as news bombards you with an unyielding threat: women struck by episodes of fainting that leave them pale and weak. The phenomenon is from the transition between seasons, the changing climate, the poor eating habits—all rumors fabricated when the police department couldn't find a lead. Speculation continues until a victim presents new evidence, spilled blood, and the town can conclude it's a person once and for all. You’re just unsure whether that person is human.

Summary
“What do you do?” Bill asked, curious to learn more about this man who seemed so different from himself.
“I’m an artist.”
“What, like with paint and shit?”
Bill was sometimes proud of how badly he could put his foot in it.
Frank just laughed. “Less of the latter and more of the former, but yes, exactly.”
--
What if the apocalypse never happened? What if Bill and Frank had just met?

Summary
“You’re staring at her again” Leon huffed as he looked away from Ada and back over to Ashley who was seated beside him. He looked into the younger’s eyes for a second before dropping his head with frustration to his desk. They were in a literature class right now, and Ashley has decided to stop by Leon’s class for a bit because she didn’t want to attend gym.
“What am I supposed to do?” He whined into the desk, putting his arms over his head as he closed his eyes and tried to get his mind off Ada for once, but she was right there, two desks away from him, and he couldn’t help but catch himself looking over at her every time he wrote something into his notebook.
Or; Leon has a crush on Ada but never says anything
