![]() ![]() ![]() Nothing in this fic is canon in any way, and details/plot of the books have been altered to fit the original plot of this rp. ![]() This fic is also a mashup of MHA and the popular books/movie "The Fifth Wave" by Rick Yancey. The content of the chapters is made of direct quotes, minorly edited for grammar and continuity. This fic follows the journey of Group One (Aizawa and Yamada) as they repeatedly and unknowingly pass by Group Two (Keigo and Shirakumo) while trying to find civilization and a cure. ![]() Meanwhile, Shirakumo makes the most out of a dire environment with child Keigo because "children gotta live a little", even though its literally the apocalypse. Together, the duo traverses half of post-apocalyptical Japan in search of survivors and the cure to the hyper-modified Orphio347 virus that wiped out civilization as they know it.

A few years later, Moorcock wrote another three books following the adventures of Dorian Hawkmoon, Duke of Köln, The Chronicles of Castle Brass these books tied Hawkmoon more closely to Moorcock’s mythos of the multiverse and the Eternal Champion - concepts tying together all Moorcock’s fiction writing. The Jewel in the Skull was published in 1967, The Mad God’s Amulet (originally published as Sorcerer’s Amulet) and The Sword of the Dawn both came out in 1968, and The Runestaff (originally The Secret of the Runestaff) was published in 1969.

I’d never stood behind a podium, spoken into a microphone, or stared at a sea of faces who thought I had something to say. We were going to give our testimonies at a Saturday-night gathering of strangers. Evans, gathered up a few of us teenagers and drove us to a church just outside my hometown. I’d only been a Christian for two years when I was invited to share my testimony.
