    AHHHHH oh my god I saw the art for this on tumblr and was absolutely enamored with the whole thing and there’s actually a whole fic with the art!!!!!!!!!!!! I love zombie aus so much..combined with messy Scarian breakup-eventually reconciliation sounds so fun..

    Poor Scar getting thrown into the apocalypse like not even a day after finding out Grian was cheating on him..oh I’m so excited that this is alternative pov as well IM SO EXCITED FOR GRIAN’S POV! what’s his deal!!! Exploding him preemptively

    Oh I hope we get to see more of Pearl as well!! I’m hopeful because having her as like into emergency situation scenarios and just anything bizarre is so fun, her calling Scar delighted at the prospect of the end of the world was so great, she sounds delightful. Giving a whole part expressing my love for her here just in case we may or may not see her again xD

    I think my favorite part was definitely just the whole lead up to Scar texting Grian, deciding to drop off the food and just everything leading up to the reveal to him, it was just written at a great pace and was so tense while Scar was so unaware AUGH so excited for the next chapter!!!! Now I have something fun to look forward towards every Friday YAY!!!!

      YESSS AHAHA! We've been working on the AU for a little over a year, so Bug's drawn a couple things that they're now slowly posting in tandem with the chapters! :D We looove writing together, so there was no way we were gonna pass up on the chance to write a fic about an AU we spent so long on >:D

      iirc (it's been a while since we wrote it HAHA) Grian's first POV chapter won't be for a while yet, because we really wanted to establish Scar's feelings towards him before delving into how Grian's responding to everything. Hopefully it'll be worth the wait though! :D

      Pearl is literally one of my most favourite POVs to watch in the Life series so I'm grinning ear to ear hearing the response to her inclusion! :D You can at the very least expect Scar to bring her up a couple more times, if nothing else ;)

      That part was basically all Bug's doing!! I remember reading that bit myself and my heart was pounding even though I already knew what was going to happen hahaha!

      Thank you for your comment!! We're sooo excited to post the next chapter already--can't wait till Friday! :D
