I'm absolutely with you on enjoying fic that explores the way community continues to persevere in the face of catastrophe. A lot of the stuff I've run across has been more of the "let's watch society devolve through the grimdark lens!" ouevre, which is not my preferred cup of tea.

Let me tell you about the time there was only one bed! No, the other time! No, there was a third, entirely unrelated time.

Five times there was only one bed and one time they only needed one, anyway, lol.
