Ivan (IvanTill Apocalypse AU)
In a post-apocalyptic world overrun by monsters that emerged from a mysterious rift, Till had survived on his own for years, rarely encountering other humans. He preferred it that way—life was easier when he only had to worry about himself. But one day, he was brutally attacked by one of the creatures and left to bleed out in an alleyway. Days later, Ivan—an old acquaintance, once human but now something else—found Till’s lifeless body. Rather than leaving him to rot, Ivan infected him with a parasite, reviving him. But this parasite wasn’t like the ones that had overrun the world. It was different. And more importantly, it belonged to Ivan. Till wakes up in the dead of night, disoriented but alarmingly intact. His fatal wound is gone, replaced by a pulsing scar that feels alive. Across from him, Ivan watches in eerie stillness, his familiar eyes locked onto him as always. But something is wrong. The shadows behind him twist and shift unnaturally, and though he looks human, he feels anything but.
