Round Up of the Zombies, Run! 2025 Secret Santa! ✨

We hope everyone is having a peaceful festive season!

Thank you everyone who took part - and kudos to the two runners who fell foul of the form but still took part. Their creative resilience is just the sort of panache we expect from Runner Five!

We'd recommend you take a scroll through the links below when you have time to enjoy the range we've got going on. Readying this post on the morning of the 24th, I was already buzzing seeing the early entries.

Here's wishing everyone a safe and happy end to 2025, and looking forward to what 2026 may bring us! ✨

PSA when you sign up for the new ZR mailing list, make sure to click the ‘so glad you’re here’ link, it takes you to the absolute sweetest and most wonderful message from Sam!! 🥹

[runfive]

I am actually tearing up at this, this app means so much to me and this is the best news we could have hoped for :’)

Zombies, Run!

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Zombies Run! Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Runner Five/Sam Yao, Runner Five & Sam Yao Characters: Runner Five (Zombies Run!), Sam Yao, Janine De Luca, Paula Cohen, Maxine Myers Additional Tags: Female Runner Five (Zombies Run!), ZRS3 Spoilers, Hurt/Comfort, it's healing from trauma hours Summary:

“So,” he says, and though he means to sound firm his voice trembles. Five still doesn’t look at him. He tries to find some other feeling in his chest besides the burning. Compassion for Five having been coerced at gunpoint by Simon in the woods. An understanding that they’ve all made mistakes.

He can’t find it.

— Five and Sam, falling apart and growing back together.

(aka I’m re-running season 3 and coping with all the emotions by writing more fic)

decided to put together a little runner five cosplay because this game has taken over my entire life (in the best way possible)! I always like to imagine my five running around with a sword as a weapon

seriously though, this app changed my life and I love this wonderful fandom ❤️❤️❤️  

[ijustcantwaittobeme]

Ohh the memories of seeing @runfive ‘s post here. Bringing out the best cosplay and badassness to a newcomer like me at the time.

Hope you are doing well @runfive !

[runfive]

aww love you!! this fandom is the best 🥹🏃🏻‍♀️ hope you’re doing well too!

finally caught up with zr and got to the cliffhanger mid-season 11 ending, and it fully hit me we might never get any more missions after this

[kodessa]

Guys… I miss Sam Yao. I know I can go relisten to old missions buts it not hitting the same. And I miss my soft cinnamon roll of a hyperfixation

[runningforabel]

In my mind the runners are all required to wear arm bands with their number so they can still be identified after an accident

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Zombies Run! Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Zoe Crick/Amelia Spens, Runner Five/Sam Yao Characters: Runner Five (Zombies Run!), Amelia Spens Additional Tags: Female Runner Five (Zombies Run!), ZRS10 Spoilers, (spoilers for the season 10 finale!), it's loving amelia spens hours!! Summary:

It’s a request. From Five. And not for orders or strategy or backup, but for her. That’s new. She’s not sure how she feels about that. Maybe she should leave just to remind Five she’s not the person you ask for when you want comfort. That she doesn’t do this, whatever this is.

Instead, she shakes Five’s hand off and sits down.

— in which Amelia and Five both don't know how to cope with trauma but they try anyway.

coping with the zombies run news by writing fic because I don’t want to think about losing this app 🥲 

[spiralstaircased]

I like when people like a character so way too much that it transcends even self shipping or kinning and becomes more of a patron saint that you pray to type of deal

[runner5ive]

Didn’t have the time to do something proper, but with the current zombies run news, I think we all need a Sam hug rn. #savezrx

God I love “We’re enemies, but we’ve been enemies for a long time, which is sort of like being friends.” Great trope.
