Summary
You found it when searching for supplies, trying to find food in an old residential area; there’s a surprisingly ample amount of canned goods left in places like these. It had stood out among the wreckage of an old apartment complex, a garishly pink journal with “Live, Life, Love” written in a manufactured, elegant script on the front, surprisingly new-looking in contrast to it’s surroundings.

Summary
When the apocalypse doesn't go as planned, the Winchesters aren't able to stop it. Instead, the world is plunged into a state of decay with an unforeseeable end. Rick Grimes, a Georgia cop, is in a coma when this all goes down and is separated from the ones he loves. When he meets up with Sam and Dean, will they be able to make it through this new world?
EDIT:
I'm BACK! Just FYI, chapters one and two are going to be similar to what was in place before, but they're different enough that you will probably still want to read them. -

Summary
This is a (Mostly) original story I was thinking of in my spare time.
Thirty years ago, an event called the Requiem caused seven pillars of light known as the Seven Streams, to converge on one another. At the epicenter of the explosion was a gateway between Hell, Limbo, Heaven, and the Material World. Demons escaped into the world and wreaked havoc everywhere they wet. A large amount of humanity was eliminated in this process, but the ones that survived persevered. They learned to sway demons to their side using conversation and fought alongside one another. A group among them was created, the Praetorians. They are the first and last line of defense against the demons, using their own kind against them. One such Praetorian, Terry, meets a Kitsune, or a Nine Tailed Fox. Though he is hesitant at first, the two become allies. However, something strange is happening during this, and so the two must seek out what's going on and if they can stop it...

Summary
The first call reaches his ears over dinner. Dean pauses with a forkful of potatoes halfway to his lips. He hopes no one has seen him falter, but from across the table little Sammy's eyes lock with his. The kid misses nothing. The next howl is much closer and interrupts dessert. That time, he's ready. He doesn't flinch.
After dinner, when he's said goodnight to his family and hugged his brother, Dean crawls into bed and waits for his mother to come into his room the way she always does.
“Sleep tight,” she whispers to him, bending to peck the top of his head, “angels are watching over you.”
"G'nite mom," he replies, snuggling down into the blankets as she leaves, closing the door behind her.
She means well, he knows that. But there are no angels watching. Only monsters.
After she’s gone, he lays in his bed and listens as the adults also retire for the evening and the house sinks into silence. Outside, the howling grows increasingly insistent. Needy. -

Summary
“Who are you?” The man asks from his throne atop the rooftop. The shadows that grow under the man’s feet are not an illusion, but a certainty captured by focused eyes.
“I am Lan Zhan, courtesy name Wangji,” he responds. He doesn’t project his voice the way the man had, but in the silence, he’s heard just the same. “My brother hid me in the Cloud Recesses for three years. It has been three years since he died in 2117.”
Lan Huan didn't leave him any notes, just a code. A code that sent him to the ancient past, with nothing but the artificial heart he made him, and the knowledge that even this barren wasteland would eventually bloom again, until the tragedy that destroyed his future happened.
One thousand, two hundred and seventy eight days after his brother's death, he meets the demonic cultivator, Wei Wuxian.
(For Wangxian Week Day 4, Futuristic AU)

Animaniacs/Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts crossover
It's been 200 years since the world ended and humans and toons have been forced underground, living in fear of the mutated animals known as "mutes" and wishing for the day they can return to the Surface and call it home once again. That day however came a lot sooner for toon brothers, Yakko and Wakko Warner as they find themselves forced onto the Surface after a violent mega-quake destroys their home. With having no idea how to survive on the Surface, the Warner brothers seek the help of a surface toon named Dot, who seems less than thrilled by their toony antics and two mice mutes known as Pinky and the Brain (who seem trustworthy enough.) Together, the group tries to survive in a world filled with megabunnys, mod-frogs, malevolent water bears, newton wolves, timbercats, and a notorious mute that goes by the name Scarlamagne (who wants them for some reason?) Either way, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts just got a lot zanier.

"I think it would be eathier if there were zombieth."
There's truth to the statement. Zombies are easy. Plagues of the undead can be combatted, smacked down, overpowered. You have the strength now, the speed, to just put him on your back and run for days, outwitting whatever monstrous creations roam the world in this new era. But a vacated world is scary, when everything that happened is the fault of humans, all the death and horror could have been avoided and fall in a heap at the feet of the men who wanted to play at nuclear war. The dark, stretching for miles above their heads and under their feet, is far more terrifying than anything their minds can conjure up, and that's the worst of all.

Summary
Adora is shaking, nothing but frayed nerves. "H-Hey," she whispers. She carefully adjusts her hold to turn the girl over in her arms, searching for a face. "I've got you, don't worry."
The girl looks up at her again, and it's just as she thought. Mismatched eyes, one blue and one goldish-brown, look straight through her, too groggy to show a hint of recognition, but they're hers all the same ...
"C-Catra?" she tries unsteadily, eyes brimming with tears.
She gets a small, pained smile in return. "H-Hey... Adora."
(Adora and Catra reunite six years after a bad falling out in a dying world ravaged by extreme weather and rampant disease. Can they learn to come together again when dire circumstances try so desperately to pull them apart?)
