[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/7226713/chapters/16403155 Symbiosis]] is a ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' fanfiction by Lyssavirus (also known as TVirusRose) following [[EmbarrassingFirstName Theodora]] Skyler and Adrian, a hunter she stabs after he claws her eye out. After she unknowingly takes shelter in Adrian's home and watches him slowly succumb to his injuries, she takes pity on him and patches him up. Despite their initial violent first encounter and Adrian's [[WarmBloodbagsAreEverywhere urge to tear Skyler apart,]] they start forming a deep bond as they travel to Boston where extraction teams evacuate survivors to safety.

!!''Symbiosis'' contains the following tropes:
* ActionGirl: Skyler was one even before the apocalypse began. Cat fits the trope too.
* AgonizingStomachWound: Skyler stabs Adrian multiple times when they first meet. She patches him up later though.
* AttackTheInjury: When Skyler wakes up with Adrian on top of her, she kneeds him in his injured abdomen.
* BathtubBonding: Despite his reluctance, Skyler gives Adrian a bath.
* BreastAttack: Adrian punches Skyler in the chest when she's teaching him how to fight.
* CuteAndPsycho: Cat is mistaken for a teenager, is pretty cheerful, and likes killing people.
* DeadlyLunge: As a hunter, this is Adrian's modus operandi.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Skyler stabbing Adrian when he was trying to kill her led to a chain of events that ultimately brought them very close.
* DissonantSerenity: Cat is just casually joking after killing a person and releasing Adrian to tear another apart.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: ''Theodora'' Skyler.
** Cat's name is short for ''Cathedral''.
* EnemyMine: Neither Adrian nor Skyler trust each other at first, but sorta team up while escaping a hunter pack anyways.
* EyeScream: Skyler meets Adrian when he claws her eye out.
* ExhaustedEyeBags: When he was about to cross the bridge, Adrian "looked exhausted enough that he practically appeared to have been punched in either eye."
* {{Fainting}}: After running and making a huge leap, Adrian's injuries reopen and he faints.
* FireForgedFriends: Skyler and Adrian. Despite their rocky first meeting they end up saving each other multiple times and go through some traumatic experiences together.
* {{Gorn}}: There's some pretty nice descriptions of it here and there, what with the infected's afinity to tear people (and each other) to shreds.
* ImAHumanitarian: The infected.
* InASingleBound: Happens twice while Hunter and Skyler get chased by a hunter pack. Skyler even has to cling on Adrian the second time.
* LimpAndLivid: Infected don't keep a straight posture to begin with, but hunters crouch before attacking.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: When pursuing or escaping from something, the infected tend to keep going until they physically collapse.
* TheNicknamer: Besides Hunter, Skyler comes up with the nicknames Lambchop, Leg-o-Lamb, and Mary had a little Lamb for Adrian before realizing that he actually responds to his name.
* NoZombieCannibals: Averted. While the infected certainly prefer feasting on the "clean ones", they have no qualms about eating each other.
* PsychoShowerMurderParody: While showering, Skyler is creeped out by Adrian's shadow behind the curtain.
* QuizzicalTilt: Adrian is prone to this.
* SecretMessageWink: While restrained, Cat talked about how the captors were probably softies acting tough before she heard them returning. She then said to pretend she didn't say anything, and winked.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Skyler has no qualms about being seen naked, as they had "YMCA showers" back in camp where everyone showered together.
* SlashedThroat: How Fred is killed by Cat.
* TheSpeechless: The infected can't talk. Adrian can understand some words and ''does'' attempt to speak, but fails.
* SpiderSense: Hunters are very quick to pick up when something's up around them thanks to their heightened senses.
* SuperPersistentPredator: The hunter pack.
* TechnicallyLivingZombie: As the name suggests, the infected are humans, just very, ''very'' sick.
* ThrowTheBookAtThem: Adrian throws some books at Skyler after she kneed him.
* TheVirus: The green flu.
* ZombieApocalypse: It's a left 4 dead fanfic.
