Zombie-Apocalypse / Dystopia Fics?

Hey guys,

this is my first post ever here so I hope I'm doing this right...

I'm still not over The Last Of Us. It's such an amazing game with a thrilling & exceptionally human Zombie Apocalypse story. I'm fairly certain some of you are familiar with Joel and Ellie and their adventure.
Sooo... I'm looking for (Zombie)Apocalypse and/or Dystopia fics with Sam and Dean in the middle of it! I've read "Last Outpost Of All That Is" and it was heartbreaking & hauntingly beautiful and had the exact atmosphere that I'm looking for. The "Last Of Us"-vibe!
Since then I've been looking for other stories like that all over the internet but for some reason I didn't come up with much. Even browsing the Apocafic-tag here... there are many many J2-stories but only a few with the Winchesters.
Maybe you could help me find some more and/or point me to some more Delicious-tags to browse through? :)
Length doesn't matter, rating doesn't matter... I prefer complete fics but I will take WIPs if they aren't abandoned!

Thank you so much! <3
(oh and sorry for any mistakes - english isn't my first language, please bear with me ^^)

Are you ok with Wincest?

Treasure (http://sonofabiscuit77.livejournal.com/45441.html) by sonofabiscuit77 is a great Sam/Dean zombie fic: "It’s 2018 and the human race is almost extinct, wiped out by a mutant threat not even the angels saw coming. Sam and Dean live on a military compound, one of the few remaining human communities still fighting for survival. Dean is one of the military leaders, dedicated to wasting as many of the mutants he can, while Sam, permanently injured and confined to the base, is desperately searching for the answer that will save what’s left of humanity, and finally bring both boys the peace they crave."

The Book of Daniel (http://nyxocity.livejournal.com/188921.html) is a short, beautiful post-apocalyptic story with outsider pov and Sam/Dean: "When there's nothing left to believe in, believe in Winchesters."

For dystopias (both are AUs):

I Think Therefore I Am (http://archiveofourown.org/works/464518) by ochsun: "Dean is a privileged member of the dwindling original population of North America that has been decimated by viral outbreaks and low birth rates. Human clones have been created to bolster the work force. They are a segregated underclass relegated to the status of soulless drones by their Geneticore creators and by powerful religious groups like the Mothers Union, who consider themselves to be the blessed vessels of God’s greatest creation: the human soul."

Kant's Dove (http://tryfanstone.co.uk/kantsdove.htm) by jay_tryfanstone: "In a dystopian paradise angel Inquisitor Samuel and rogue human Dean are uneasy allies. Together, they could knock their world from its foundations, but both of them have secrets to keep."

Here are a couple that I remember off the top of my head.

Treasure (http://archiveofourown.org/works/402918/chapters/664221) by sonofbiscuit - It’s 2018 and the human race is almost extinct, wiped out by a mutant threat not even the angels saw coming. Sam and Dean live on a military compound, one of the only human communities left still fighting for survival. Dean is one of the military leaders, dedicated to wasting as many of the mutants he can, while Sam, permanently injured and confined to the base, is desperately searching for the answer that will save what’s left of humanity, and finally bring both boys the peace they crave.

All Along the Watchtower (http://archiveofourown.org/works/181729/chapters/267268) by leonidaslion - When the world explodes in a heatless, formless flare of red light, Dean isn’t awake to see it.


There's another one that I know of but I have to look it up when I get home. :)

[identity profile] crownroyal-51.livejournal.com 2015-04-29 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Here's another one. This one is mpreg but there's a good explanation as to why it's possible. It fits the bill for a post apocalyptic fic. I really love this story. It's a complete fic too.

The Killing Moon (http://poisontaster.livejournal.com/231867.html) by poisontaster - Sam is one of the few who can reproduce; should he be auctioned off to a stranger or stay with his family?

[identity profile] crownroyal-51.livejournal.com 2015-04-29 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Here's the one I was thinking about earlier...

It'll All Turn To Dust and We'll All Fall Down (http://verucasalt123.livejournal.com/181737.html) by [livejournal.com profile] verucasalt123 - The world had to end sometime. The Winchesters just didn’t know they’d still be hanging around to watch. Dean and Sam fuck their way across the desolate landscape of what’s left, clinging to each other in the face of having lost so much. But there’s hope where you least expect it.

The first post is always the hardest. Happy to help you out! I love Wincest post-apocalypic fics.

[identity profile] anniespinkhouse.livejournal.com 2015-04-30 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Two of my favorite post apocalyptic fic are The Winchester Road (http://archiveofourown.org/works/442149/chapters/754784) and Dictionary for a Dead Language (http://britomart-is.livejournal.com/154955.html)

Nobody recs this one but I love it: Something Gold (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7912945/1/Something-Gold) by H.T. Marie.

If you don't mind Jess involved there's Imagine the Houses (http://elohvee.livejournal.com/397278.html) by elohvee.

A couple more: Fall Down At Your Door (http://home.comcast.net/~wesleysgirl/fanfiction/spn/falldown.html) by wesleysgirl
In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Zombie Spirit (http://kerfuffling.livejournal.com/19851.html) by kerfuffling
Apocalypse Z (http://archiveofourown.org/works/932024?view_full_work=true) by Baylor

This is an abandoned WIP but still so worth reading--what's here is over 90,000 words: A Broken Spoke (But the Wheel Still Turns) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/840151?view_full_work=true) by Niightmoves

With a mpreg twist: And Miles To Go Before I Sleep (http://fizzickz.livejournal.com/10154.html) by salire

Hope you enjoy. My apologies if the links are wacky or if I accidentally slipped in J2 :)

Hi - you gave these recs ages ago, but I just found the post. I've started Imagine the Houses, and I can't turn away. Thanks for the rec.

[identity profile] kiimber.livejournal.com 2015-06-12 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome. Thanks for letting me know. I could read any of these again and again. If you come across more let me know.

I can't believe I left this one off: Like Luggage of Some Departed Traveler (http://britomart-is.livejournal.com/179046.html#cutid1) by britomart_is

[identity profile] onlythefireborn.livejournal.com 2015-04-30 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I second most of the above recs and add a few of my own:

The wonderful candle_beck's THE LAND OF THE BLIND
http://archiveofourown.org/works/218151

also spn_J2fan's THE GOOD PLACE (made me cry)
http://archiveofourown.org/works/881304/chapters/1696643

kellwyntar's VETERANS OF THE PSYCHIC WARS (J2)
http://psychicwar.livejournal.com/3181.html

You've probably read leonidaslion - if not, her SUITE!verse is dark and twisted - not post-apocalyptic, but right spang in the middle of the Apocalypse, with Sam as the Boy King and Dean as his hostage. Seriously, very dark.
http://archiveofourown.org/series/6436

aaaannnnddddd - to lighten up that last one, you should read fleshflutter's THE INCESTUOUS COURTSHIP OF THE ANTICHRIST'S BRIDE - not exactly dystopian but very funny - and hey, it has actual zombies!
http://fleshflutter.livejournal.com/100930.html

oh, and tabaqui's COMES TO DUST
http://archiveofourown.org/works/671615

*Sorry to keep adding on - I've got one in my head that I can't remember the title of, very powerful story. Hope I can remember it for you.*
