and maaaaaybe a little bit about the vampires/zombies too! I'm greedy, what can I say?

Yay! Ok, The Event has 4 chapters currently posted here

From the Summary:

Ten years ago, a mysterious event wiped out half of the adult population. The city of Chicago gathered up all of the orphaned children and raised them to live menial lives of servitude.

So where did this subversive group come from, and what exactly do they want? This one has us meeting Ian, a kid who was raised in the new system that was created after The Event, and following as he prepares to become an adult and go out into the world to live. And what happens when he meets Mickey, a dimly familiar figure, who seems to be living a very different life... The Vampire/Zombies AU is one that quite literally came into my head at 3am one night and wouldn't leave until I opened my phone to jot down some notes.

It was a night that nobody on the South Side would forget for a long, long time.  The night of the attack by the supernatural. 

They were out there, everyone knew that.  But they never attacked in force, and never before had two types of them teamed up like that. 

Ian and Mickey were teenagers when it happened, teenagers who were not yet ready to admit their love for each other.  But that night, like every night, had found them together.  Roaming the streets of South Side Chicago after dark.

Picture our boys, young and scared, trapped by a horde of invading Vampires on one side, and Zombies on the other. Fighting, back-to-back, for as long as they can, until they are ripped away from each other. Mickey, calling out "Ian! We'll find each other!"

Later, everyone in the city is swept up by some government agency, each person kept in chains until they were categorized.  Vampire, doomed to a life of drinking blood and walking only in darkness, or Zombie, needing fresh flesh to survive, strong and fast during the day, but forced to hide at night as their bodies became weak and cold.
