Resident Evil Fanfiction
Capcom's survival-horror dynasty of zombie outbreaks, bioweapon conspiracies, and improbably durable special agents. The fanfic fandom runs on its veterans: Leon and Chris's decades of trauma, Ada's eternal will-they-won't-they spycraft, and the Village era's breakout obsession with Karl Heisenberg and the Dimitrescu household. Post-mission hurt/comfort is the house style — these characters get patched up, debriefed, and emotionally compromised in fic far more often than in canon — alongside Wesker resurrections and Raccoon City survivors' reunions.

Popular Resident Evil Ships
Chreon
Chris Redfield/Leon S. Kennedy
Resident Evil's two flagship heroes spent decades on parallel tracks — the BSAA's relentless captain and the government agent who survived Raccoon City — before films like Death Island finally put them on the same team. Their fandom dynamic contrasts Chris's blunt soldier discipline with Leon's deflective one-liners and quiet burnout. The ship surged as Capcom's remakes revitalized both characters.

Aeon
Ada Wong/Leon S. Kennedy
A rookie cop fell for a mysterious woman in a red dress during the fall of Raccoon City, and twenty-five years of games have kept them circling — Ada always working an angle, Leon always letting her go. Canon refuses to resolve them, making the spy and the agent one of gaming's longest-running doomed flirtations. Fic finally gives them the conversation Capcom won't.
3,000 works →
Valenfield
Chris Redfield/Jill Valentine
The original S.T.A.R.S. partners have survived the mansion, founded the BSAA, and saved each other from mind control across nearly three decades of Resident Evil. Capcom keeps them platonic on paper; the fandom filed the paperwork differently.
