Summary
Etho was not a good person. Even before the world ended. He survived by choosing himself, and he did it well.
And then there was Joel.
Joel, who joked when he was afraid. Joel, who kept everyone else fed and chased hope farther than it was safe to follow. Joel, who had already crossed into something dangerous without meaning to, without ever stopping to look at the shape of what he was becoming. Joel didn’t have anyone who could make the bad choice for him.
Etho had never been built for clean hands. But his hands were steady.
And that, in the end, was what Joel needed.
Or: A Boat Boys zombie apocalypse romance AU. A loose sequel to There Are Monsters Nearby by uhohbestie, but readable as a standalone. The sequel where all the hermits get the happy ending they deserve.

Summary
The day after Scar breaks up with Grian, the dead come back to life. Knowing that venturing out alone is a death sentence, the sudden onset of the apocalypse forces them to stick together despite the tensions between them. In the wreckage of the world, they're forced to survive side-by-side, coming to terms with the fact that—try as they might—there's no one they trust more than each other.
“Go!” Grian shouts as the monster charges, putting his whole force into the blow.
Scar watches, frozen stiff as Grian fights until blood and gore and viscera mark the creature up like a Pollock painting.
“What are you waiting for?!” Grian snaps when he finally notices that Scar is still standing there. He grips his weapon tight and attacks a final time, slamming the zombie down—good and dead—and standing panting over top of it, strained but victorious. He starts rushing from the scene, calling back for Scar over his shoulder. “Run!”
And in a way that’s as familiar to him as breathing, Scar chases after him.

Summary
Fridays were the worst, and Scar looked forward to them every week.
His shifts at the zoo were often arduous, and his legs always ached violently from the constant bustle, but Quiz Night always made his day better. Especially with all the turmoils of the city making everyone so jumpy, maybe even himself, he needed this time to be with friends, away from work and the rising rates of villains. And all he needed to do to get to that serenity was to grab his bag from the bird sanctuary and return to the safety of street lamps and his friendly security guard.
But that wasn’t what happened. Because Scar wasn’t alone that night.
Or, Scar, a down-on-his-luck bird specialist at a local zoo, found himself absolutely infatuated with the avian vigilante Phantom, for the appeal of crime was far too alluring to be ignored. -

Summary
Scar liked him?
Scar Scar Scar Scar Scar Scar.
Grian chewed and ripped at the skin on the inside of his lips until his tongue turned bitter as he yanked his shirt off of his head and turned himself to the side.
He hadn't had dinner. He only had a banana for breakfast. Did bananas make you fat? Maybe it was still too much. People- People don't date chubby guys...and if Grian was being honest with himself. Really honest with himself. He liked Scar too.
Grian stared at the flesh of his stomach, narrowing his eyes as he calculated the best course of action. People don't date chubby guys. People don't date pigs. They don't like pigs. He couldn't mess this up like he did with Calvin. Fool me once and all of that.
Expelling a sigh, Grian reached into his pocket for his phone and opened up Google and searched up how long a person could go without food for.
}{}{}{
After a toxic breakup Grian finds himself scared to death of disappointing Scar like he did with his ex. He liked Scar, a lot, more than he ever did his ex so he really really didn't want to mess this up. Scar was kind, funny, and Grian didn't wanna lose that. So he did the only rational thing anyone would do. He stopped eating.

Summary
"You," Scar sighed at the sight of the villain, a mixture of a groan and an insult as he cursed internally at his rotten luck.
"Me," his nemesis smiled, sharp grin clearly visible with glinting yellow eyes half-hidden by his ridiculous mask, wings stretched behind him in a familiar silhouette. "Hey there, little hero."
~
Grian's alter ego, Cuteguy, is known across the city for being three things: dangerous, insane, and completely obsessed with his hero counterpart, Hotguy. Scar is a café worker who spends his nights in a blue and orange visor to become Hotguy, the city's greatest hero with a past no one speaks of, who regularly battles his greatest nemesis, Cuteguy.
Cuteguy is notoriously obsessed with his nemesis. Scar is head over heels for the friendly avian who regularly visits his café. Both of them are hiding things, and one holds a secret that could change the very city they live in.
Between layers of endless lies, social media drama and rumours of government programs, two people trek the dangerous and unpredictable pathway of love between one whom it should be impossible to have it with.
But both of them have conquered the impossible before.
