Author’s Notes: Massive thanks to both ideserveyou and concupiscence66 for reading this over and pulling it into shape, as well as for all their much-appreciated encouragement. I should also mention that this fic is loosely inspired by Cormac McCarthy's 'The Road' and the title is taken from the song 'These Days' by Ane Brun.


Vince Noir is the only person left in London. By day he scavenges for food amongst the rubble, and by night he sleeps in abandoned houses to protect himself from the rain. He has only himself for company. Until, one day, he doesn't. [Post-apocalyptic AU.]
