Slow Cataclysm
The second of my 5k Event pieces, for the amazingly talented @uvobreakmylegs . Her work inspires me daily, and should be considered a must-read for anyone who likes quality hxh fics. She asked for a stylistic Pakunoda x Reader fic, and I ended up with writing an Apocalypse AU! fic!
Hope you enjoy it :D
WARNINGS: end of the world (obviously), descriptions of acid wounds, murder, gn! reader, descriptions of violence and violent intentions
The troupe prepared for a lot of futures.
Chrollo made contingency plans for all kinds of scenarios, usually in down time or after a heist had been completed: from countries sending full-on armies after the troupe to what the last remaining member should do in case the rest of the troupe got exterminated. He all kept them written down neatly in a little brown ledger, though he probably had copies lying around somewhere.
The boss was a man who planned in advance, enjoying both the way his plans worked flawlessly and how the unpredictability of the world and humans scrambled up his plans, yet even he’d never thought he’d need to prepare for the end of the world.
Why would he plan for something that would kill them all? There was no use making and preparing steps for something as definite as the apocalypse. The troupe, and the rest of mankind for that matter, would be dead. That would be the result. No need to think about it too long.
Chrollo had been mistaken.
The apocalypse, like anything, took a while to finish.
