When the world ends, Fallon learns one truth fast- the dead aren't the only ones who hunt. Abandoned by her group and surviving alone in the forests of Georgia, she's become a ghost with a gun: a tracker, a fighter, a medic with more scars than stories. She doesn't trust anyone. She doesn't stay anywhere. She doesn't belong. Then she crosses paths with Rick Grimes' group... and with the man who reads the woods the same way she does. Daryl Dixon is feral, stubborn, and impossible to shake-and he sees through Fallon faster than she can hide. They clash. They circle. They survive. But in a world crawling with the dead, the most dangerous thing she can do is let someone in. Because once Fallon cares, she'll burn the world down to protect them. And that kind of loyalty? Gets you killed. Daryl Dixon x OC

16 year old harper grimes is.... Diffrent. She was born deaf and she feels as if because of her disabilitie she is under-appreciated. Even though harper feels this way, the one person in her whole family who cares for her the most is her 10 year old brother carl. She makes bew fruends who do appreciate her but little doess her familt know, she actually is the hero of this story, because actually bieng deaf (quote conny) is actually 'a god damn superpower' and she saves their asses, because she still wants her family and friends to stay alive.

Roseline Montgomery had a normal life before the apocalypse. The 28-year-old woman lived in a nice apartment in Atlanta and had a normal, boring job like everyone else. She wished that something would change in her life, but she didn't believe that an apocalypse would bring her the change she so desperately needed. But not only the world around her changed, but also herself. Can she find her old self again or will she forever remain this dead soul in the corpse of her body? Maybe Merle Dixon can show her what it means to trust people again, and maybe Daryl Dixon can show her what it means to love someone.

***WARNING*** This story is very graphic and only for mature readers. It has a graphic sexual assault as well. You've been warned. Athena was traveling around the country seeing her family after losing her husband in a car accident a year before the fall. She thought that they were perfect for one another and losing him shook her to her core. She was in Georgia when the world started to go to hell. After traveling alone for few months into the apocalypse, she stopped to sleep in the woods when she heard two engines stop late into the night. She went closer to the camp, snapping a twig. Then small whispers. A man with a southern twang (appropriate to the area) spoke in a hushed but urgent tone. Athena just caught the end of what he had been saying: "This isn't a democracy anymore!" Shortly after making her presence known, she gets to know the members of the group she heard whispering little by little, though they are hard to let her in to the group at first. After finally being accepted, she catches the eye of Daryl Dixon, the rugged, silent protector of the group. She is extremely apprehensive to do so after losing her husband only a year ago. But as different as this new world is, as broken and sad, he would want her to find some sort of glimmer of hope. **I do not own the rights to any of The Walking Dead characters. Only the ones I have created.**

It has been thirty days since Alyssa Grimes and Daryl Dixon left Alexandria behind for the Commonwealth, a sprawling community of 50,000 people offering hope and stability. Together with RJ, Judith, and their daughter Nova Rae, they've embarked on a journey to build a new life. But the strain of their fractured relationship makes the transition anything but easy. While Alyssa and Daryl try to provide a sense of normalcy for their family, the Commonwealth's polished, too-perfect society stirs deep suspicions in Alyssa. With rigid rules, social divisions, and echoes of the old world, she begins to question if this community is as safe as it seems. When both Alyssa and Daryl are drafted into the Commonwealth's military, tensions rise to a breaking point. Forced into a role she never wanted, Alyssa must navigate her growing unease with the leadership, protect her family, and grapple with her own secrets. As cracks form in the Commonwealth's carefully curated facade, Alyssa faces a question that threatens to unravel everything she's fought for: Is this new world truly salvation, or is it just another illusion of safety? From the author of Of Blood and Burdens comes a powerful sequel about survival, trust, and the lengths one woman will go to protect the ones she loves-no matter the cost.
