Summary: The late summer sun is high over the base today, hot and intense. Kris tilts his face up and closes his eyes, pretending the hunters got fresh meat today, and that there are rain clouds on the horizon that'll sift cool, clear water down on all their sweaty heads. Everybody has their happy place these days, but Kris tries to make his attainable. There's no point in wishing the last five years never happened, because they did.

Review: This is an amazing Apocalypse AU. Winterlive's description are vivid, every detail adds to the feel of the world she created. 

She didn't just create a disaster, she created an entire world that grew up in the wake of the apocalypse. Clans and strongholds built in the ruin of our current world, with just enough detail to give you glimpses of the way the world looked before everything ended. 

Characterization-wise everybody is just a little bit darker, wilder, and edgier than they are in canon. Which helps them fit in with the bleak, if hopeful surroundings.  This is definitely a great read even if you don't usually read American Idol fic, since it can basically stand on it's own.
