Summary
When Nick and Rochelle instead meet for the first time the night before the evacuation attempt at the Vannah, their worlds collide unexpectedly. Nick just wants to forget an embarrassing night. While all Rochelle wants is to make it up to the man she kissed and ran from.
If there is one thing Nick and Rochelle seem to agree on though, it's that caring about someone else in the middle of the apocalypse is a dangerous game to play. Between a conman that only listens to his gut, and a reporter that only listens to her mind the odds of them gambling with their hearts are slim to none.
(A story in which Nick actually receives his infamous hickey from Rochelle the night before everything falls apart, and things only get more complicated from there.)
[OOC and non-canon elements are used to expand and flesh out motivations/backstories.]

Summary
When the world ends, what’s left might be all that ever truly mattered.
In the aftermath of a sudden and catastrophic outbreak, four strangers are thrown together by fate, fire, and necessity. Savannah is falling apart, and the infection sweeping across the country doesn’t leave time for second chances.
Nick—cynical, sharp-tongued, and dressed for the wrong kind of fight—only cares about getting out alive. Ellis, a mechanic with a heart too big for his own good, sees the best in everyone… even when he shouldn’t.
Together with a driven reporter and a seasoned coach, the group must navigate a broken world full of the infected, the desperate, and the cruel. But in the silence between gunshots, something unexpected begins to grow—trust, loyalty… and maybe something more.
Because surviving is only the beginning.
And when everything’s gone, the people beside you might be all that’s left. -

Summary
You’re a military field medic turned science experiment. After being stationed at an evacuation sight, quarantine is breached and the infection spread through the Vanna Hotel. Now you and four other survivors need to make your way to a safe zone for evac. A certain white suited man seemed to make it his mission to confuse you with his distrust, but care about you more than anyone ever has before in your life. Will the group survive the grueling journey, or will you lose someone along the way? Will your heart survive the flaming rollercoaster of lust and love? Is it worth trying to survive such an awful new world or will you give in to the inevitable?
He gently wiped the tear from your cheek and leaned in, so his nose touched yours. You could feel his light breath caress your lips as he spoke, “The living should never envy the dead, princess.”

Summary
In a race against time to save his best buddy, Ellis, a young Georgian mechanic, finds himself on a burning rooftop with a coach, a producer, and a gambler. The strangers could not come from more different backgrounds, breeding constant tension amongst them as they are forced to band together for survival on their spontaneous journey to the last city standing: New Orleans.
While the mechanic quickly becomes the morale booster of the four, the skeletons in his closet weigh him down and put the team at risk until he finally decides whether to face his traumas head-on... or lose everything to them.
On the other hand, Nick, a man designed to die, has nothing left to lose until Ellis tests the inevitability of his fate and brings up his own baggage.
Little do they know, this fragile alliance will save all four of them in more ways than one.

Summary
A short comfort story about my favorite ship in the game L4D2 (Left 4 Dead 2). This is a Nellis (Nick x Ellis) comic. Yes there is muh luh muh (mlm). No, it is not spicy. This is a comfort and cute fanfic I wrote bc I can never find any 3. Also I didn't know if I needed to tag it and also I couldn't find a tag for it, but yeah, I'm aware that Ellis and Nick have roughly a 12 year age gap, idc, they're adorable.

Summary
After the fire, the ash. After the screaming, the silence. After “I almost lost you,” comes the hard part—choosing to stay.
Ellis and Nick survived the end of the world, but now they have to survive each other. In the quiet aftermath of The Tortured Savannah Department, the two lovers begin the long, aching work of rebuilding—trust, home, and a future neither of them thought they deserved. There’s no CEDA to run from, no horde at their door—just lavender-scented mornings, unsent letters, old ghosts, and the sacred, terrifying softness of being known.
From attic discoveries to red velvet cake, from emerald rings to whispered apologies through a locked door, this is the story of two men who refuse to let go. A story about forgiveness, family, and the invisible string that always leads you home.

Summary
As the clock ticked and the days passed by, the truth became easier to digest. Six months had passed since the survivors were released from the camps set out by CEDA, and Ellis could say that he had moved on.
In fact, that’s what he told Rochelle and Coach every time they gave him that pitiful look. It was obvious that they didn’t buy his words no matter how many times he repeated himself. It was obvious even after they’d stopped questioning— their looks alone louder than words. But he ignored them, simply averting his gaze to avoid meeting their sad little ones simply because he believed himself.
He was over Nick.

Summary
In the decaying remains of New Orleans, a ragtag group of survivors navigates a world overrun by infected horrors and haunted by memories of what once was.
As they scavenge for supplies and evade relentless threats, each clings to small, seemingly insignificant relics of the past—a faded Polaroid, a poker chip, a rusted dog collar—that become lifelines to their humanity.
Amidst the ruins, their bonds are tested by loss, guilt, and the fragile hope that someone, somewhere, might still remember the world before it burned.
