Link: Werewolves of the Apocalypse

Why This Must Be Read: It's an apocalypse fic with werewolves. How can anything possibly get more awesome than that? (I say this even though I'm not generally much of an apocafic fan.)

So, Werewolves of the Apocalypse is actually a series of two stories which the author had clearly intended to continue on at some point and didn't for whatever reason. Don't be scared by its unfinished status, though, because the open ending of the second story does make for a satisfying conclusion. In the first story, Travelling with Wolves, issaro does an amazing job of showing us our two characters meeting as well as their individual experiences of the end of the world, which were vastly different. The second story shows them getting to know each other better as they reach their destination, while tip-toeing around each other's idiosyncrasies and neurosis. Up until the end, issaro does a great job keeping the reader guessing as to what exactly happened to create the fever that killed the majority of the world's population. It's definitely well worth the read!
