Mementos is a fanfiction based on ''Anime/ZombieLandSaga'' written by "thewriterofflucifenia''. The series was published months after the second season concluded.

Every chapter of the series follows the main cast as they face mementos from their past lives. The first chapter follows Saki as she discovers a cassette tape from her late mother, a musician just like the former is now.

[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/36605491?view_full_work=true The work can be read here on Ao3.]]

!!Tropes
* MissingMom: Saki's mother, Emiko, [[spoiler:is revealed to have died from an overdose when Saki was ten, leaving her all alone with no family to turn to.]] This creates a retroactive interpretation for how Saki grew up to be a troubled delinquent.
* TragicKeepsake: The cassette made by Saki's mother is found at an antique stall, and Saki buys it immediately upon seeing it. [[spoiler:She stays up later that night listening to it, the memories that resurface bringing her to [[BrokenTears tears]]]].
