Not an X-over, a Z-over

[cactuswren]

(Hi. I'm new.)

Crossover: Sherlock and World War Z.

Bonus points if Sherlock is unable to accept what it is they're dealing with, and John has to shout at him that when you've eliminated the impossible whatever remains, even if it's fucking zombies, must be the truth.

Extra bonus points if you can get any combination of our heroes, hiding out from the enemy, “comforting” each other. (Except Holmescest, which is one of my squicks.)

Extra extra points to see Mycroft, Z-bitten and knowing he's infected, having to explain to Sherlock that he'd rather get the boom!headshot now, so no one else is at risk. And if it turns out Sherlock can't do it and John has to, I will knit you socks.

Afterword/author's note

Sorry about the description of Sherlock at the end: I just finished Stephenson's "Baroque Cycle", and couldn't resist the image of a thin, worn, no-longer-young Sherlock with curls like these or these.

If anyone's interested, a longer and to my mind much improved version of this piece has been published at http://archiveofourown.org/works/540611 .
