Summary: Amy and Stephen went out to save the world. Paul was just buying milk. But with only one in a million people resistant to the zombie virus chewing away at the edges of the world (including Stephen), every second counts, and a smartass pair of scientists could use an extra driver to get them to the east coast. Even if Paul is just a sci-fi writer. They meet up with his friend Janeane, who turns out to already be living with two other guys. Denis, now, Paul at least knows, but he's only heard stories about Jon. When the three of them agree to escort the scientists who looked after Paul across the city, Amy ends up getting bitten. And that's not the worst part.

Review: This fic is unlike any other rpf story I've ever read, though that could be because I don't read zombie fic often. It's a pretty action-heavy story - there's no shortage of zombie violence here, which should sate your thirst for human brains horror and action. The relationship between Paul, Stephen, and Amy is really interesting to see develop, and I love the way they're all portrayed. I don't know a lot about zombies so I can't say how this compares to other zombie fic, but it's definitely a good read if you're familiar with these characters and want to see an original AU take on them.
