So, hear me out, the sitcom nature of TBBT combined with the sci-fi/apocalypse potential of characters like "scientist who cuts up brains," "theoretical physicist with a sense of hubris," and "the it-girl who can gut a fish and shoot a gun," is like, the perfect brew.
This Is The Way The World Ends by debirlfan
Medium: Fanfiction
Length: 879 words
Relationships: Penny & Sheldon, gen
Comments: This is the fic that sent me down a rabbit hole of TBBT apocafic. It is also still probably the one that hits the hardest.

Under My Skin by BeatriceEagle
Medium: Fanvid
Length: 6:21 mins
Comments: A really comprehensive collection of clips related to bodily autonomy and body horror.
Original Fic
In This Housing Market
Medium: Text
Length: 2481 words
Author's Summary: "From a post by prokopetz on tumbr:
Concept: due to a misprinted sigil in a popular occult reference book, every time the local highschool goths try to summon something at the cemetery down the road, the conjured entity ends up in your bathroom instead."
Comments: More of a horror/comedy fusion. Fun & quick read.
Star Trek
Judgement Day byalara.
Medium: Fanfiction
Series: TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY
Status: Incomplete, but as a series of braided stories each individual story is complete
Content Notes: some brief mentions of religiously motivated violence; body horror & identity issues; violence in general
Comments: Probably one of my favorite things I've read in the Star Trek fandom. It nicely works together various characters and series. Basically, the story explores the horror/worst case scenario potential of the Q if they weren't as gentle with humanity. Lovely claustrophobic feel throughout.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
A Web of Coincidence byare_youready
Medium: Fanfiction
Status: Complete
Length: 8352 words
Relationships: Benjamin Sisko/Kasidy Yates; Benjamin Sisko/Mirror Jennifer Sisko
Comments: Read it... read it... capslock velociraptor is coming and telling you to read it! On a more serious note, this fic hits a lot of classic horror tropes and integrates them convincingly into the world of DS9.
Merciful byare_youready
Medium: Fanfiction
Relationships: Gen, feat. Benjamin Sisko, The Borg, and The Prophets
Length: 2171 words
Comments: See my favorite Benjamin Sisko fic of all times. See also: The Borg and the prophets are fucking creepy, man.
the men with their hands inside by kiranxrys
Medium: Fanfiction
Relationships: Garak/Bashir, Ezri & Garak
Length: 25,415 words
Comments: I found the pacing dragged a bit, but there's some absolutely terrifying and gorgeous imagery and the character dynamics are tip top.
Twilight
Lost in Translation by afterandalasia
Medium: Fanfiction
Length: 598 words
Summary: "Too late, she realised she gave up her flawed humanity for generic perfection."
Comments: This is essentially an argument wrapped up in fiction. It's short but interesting and worth the quick read.
