Original Summary
Seven men fight to survive in a fallen world.
Warnings
There's some violence, though nothing graphic. A few naughty words sneaked in as well.
Notes
All of the guys are younger than their OW canon personas in this story, and I had to monkey around a bit with relative ages as well. Vin, in particular, is rather younger in relationship to some of the other members of the group than OW Vin or ATF Vin. This was necessary to make my time-line behave itself ;^)

Many, many thanks to my two patient betas, Karen Fedderly and Randy Saavedra. And patient they had to be. This story ran into a sand bank and got stuck for nearly two years.

If you're really interested, you can check out the crude planning maps I laid out of the regions in which the action takes place here. Don't laugh too hard ;^) I already admitted they were pretty crude LOL!
