Title: A Fish Out of Water
Author:
jordannamorganFandom: Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress (but can be read without knowledge of the anime, simply as a nineteenth-century zombie apocalypse tale).
Characters: Suzuki and an original character.
Setting: Pre-canon.
Rating: Very mild PG for zombie-invasion references.
Length: 1,137 words.
Summary: After the rise of the Kabane, a young sailor’s new life begins with a new name.
Notes: Also written for the prompt “Pre-Canonfic” at
genprompt_bingo. Please note that the English name I’ve given Suzuki here is entirely my own invention. I wanted to explore the assumption that he must have originally had an English name—and after learning one meaning of the word
suzuki in Japanese, it amused me to think that it could be a literal translation.
