A SAVAGE INCONVENIENCE
A Strain fanfic by Richelle Tallowman @strainingfororiginality
Mr. Quinlan finds himself in a most precarious situation. Alone, wounded and restrained, he is forced, yet again, to choose between his humanity and his survival.
ℹ️️ This story follows the TV Canon loosely, taking place after Season 3 and replacing Season 4 entirely. It also uses and expands upon existing Novels/Graphic Novels canon to weave it all together.
This is a gift for my beloved friend @5thinvictus as a tribute to her amazing fanfic series “Straining for Originality” based on The Strain Universe.
The first part is called “A Savage inconvenience” and follows the story of our team of survivors after the drop of the nuclear bomb in New York City (Season 3 finale), and the story of a mysterious character who, by fated, crosses paths with one of them, in the most turbulent and inconvenient way.
Everything seems out of place; the future looks discouraging because of the situation, and the threat looms over them like a sword of Damocles, pointing like a harpoon to its prey. But as the story progresses we will realize, like our unfortunate protagonist, that things do not seem to be as she thought they were, not even him, not even herself.
“Thank you, Dawn.” He gave inflection to the name; he seemed to approve of it.
“For what?” She blinked behind the barrel of the massive fire arm pointed squarely at his head.
“For aiding me.”
