Falling Down
When all of the world is Humpty Dumpty, and everyone styles themselves a Don Quixote...
The stories specific to this collection revolve around themes of social breakdown, but it's also worth noting here that the articles in the “Worldbuilding Meta” collection of the Icewall universe cover a broader view of the same sort (I would add this collection to that one, but apparently that's not possible because the Worldbuilding Meta collection is itself already a sub-collection within the Icewall parent collection, and so cannot itself contain a sub-subcollection).

In the end, we all die alone, each within the confines of our bodies, our minds.

Summary
Some people make their own rules, which is to say that the rules of society don't apply to them. This happens at every level of life. Sometimes we have to forgive those who trespass from their own desperation and blindness, their nature or nurture guiding their hand without executive function. The alternative is to turn a “dog bites mayor” situation into Dante's seventh bolgia, serpents biting serpents, each to steal from the other.

Summary
Robert Frost draws our attention to the deep differences that proceed from a simple choice of paths. Sometimes such paths and choices thrust themselves upon us like the swarming butterflies of chaos, a new order asserting itself. Here we find someone who is neither Robinson Crusoe nor quite a Bradbury-firefighter facing just such a change of paradigms. You can see from this (and a few more references within the story) why I couldn't quite aim a specific fandom at this story: it addresses each at a tangent, too oblique to quite qualify sufficiently as any of them in particular.

Summary
When the world fell apart, it wasn't nukes or zombies, it was Futanari. In a matter of days, nothing was left of supply chains or social order. It was The End Of The World [by Snu-Snu!] As We Know It.
The future is not set. There are no happy endings but what we make for ourselves from moment to moment.
NB: arguably Teen, but rated M for themes of social collapse and background PTSD atmosphere of violence and non-consent; content itself doesn't go into “details” (i.e.: this isn't smut — repeat not smut — and I don't wish to draw anyone in [nor push them away] by misleading them), but is still topically “adult” in nature (hardly Kindergarten story-time material), and the MC [usually] doesn't mince words (not greatly vulgar, but certainly a bit crass) — so, yeah, Trigger Warning. It's a look at a zombie apocalypse type of scenario brought about by a purported lab accident (as almost always), and what the futa-consequences have been since then. It takes some cues from anime and some from comics, though mostly adhering to typical EOTWAWKI things: it fans on their overarching shared metaphor rather than any of their specific theses.
