Canon
Novel
“R” is having a no-life crisis—he is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he is a little different from his fellow Dead. He may occasionally eat people, but he’d rather be riding abandoned airport escalators, listening to Sinatra in the cozy 747 he calls home, or collecting souvenirs from the ruins of civilization.And then he meets a girl.
First as his captive, then his reluctant house guest, Julie is a blast of living color in R’s gray landscape, and something inside him begins to bloom. He doesn’t want to eat this girl—although she looks delicious—he wants to protect her. But their unlikely bond will cause ripples they can’t imagine, and their hopeless world won’t change without a fight.[3]
Film
Written and Directed by Jonathan Levine, Warm Bodies is a 2013 American paranormal romantic[4][5] zombie comedy film which is inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.[6]
The film focuses on the development of the relationship between Julie (Palmer), a young woman, and "R" (Hoult), a zombie, and how their eventual romance develops, causing R to slowly return to human form. The film is noted for displaying human characteristics in zombie characters, and for being told from a zombie's perspective.[7][8]
Fandom
The Warm Bodies fandom grew exponentially with the production of the film and consequently the publication of the prequel and sequel books. Which led to a small but considerable number of fanworks at AO3 are tagged like a Warm Bodies AUs. Most of these works are also Zombie Apocalypse AUs, while others are set in universes where zombies canonically exist, such as The Walking Dead.
The fandom's most popular shipping is Julie/R following book and movie canon. In smaller numbers we have shipping Perry/R.
