Lowen Clarke doesn't exist anymore. At least, that's what she needs everyone to believe. Running from a life she barely escaped, she lands in Oceanside, California with nothing but a stolen secret. The last thing she needs is to get attached. The last person she should want is Andrew Cody. But the Codys have a way of pulling you in, and dirty laundry often has a way of finding the light.

(OC X Andrew 'Pope' Cody) Ana has known Baz since she was 15, they have been through thick and thin together and now she's a part of the Cody family. When J Cody shows up after the passing of his mother and the man she's been in love with since the moment she was introduced to the family comes home from jail, Ana's life goes from smooth sailing to chaotic. Will the man she's loved since being children finally recognise her and turn his attention away from his brother's girl? Will she be able to keep the Cody family together when they face their toughest times?

Got you-and keeping Andrew "Pope" Cody alive actually makes the story *even stronger* for a slow-burn, healing-type arc. I'll write you a Wattpad description that fits your tone: emotional, grounded, and very *Animal Kingdom*. --- They say some people leave. Calla Rhodes never did. Long before prison, before the silence and the distance, Calla was part of the Cody family-trusted, steady, and always there when things fell apart. Janine "Smurf" Cody calls her her own, the boys don't question her place, and to Lena Blackwell, she's more than family-she's home. But once, Calla was something else, too. She was engaged to Pope. They were supposed to have a future. Something outside the chaos. Something real. And then he was taken away before they ever got the chance to finish it. Now he's back. And nothing has changed-except everything. Calla is still there. Still loyal. Still the calm in a house that never learned how to be quiet. But the girl Pope left behind isn't the same one standing in front of him now. She's stronger. Colder. Harder to read. And still the only one who ever understood him. There's no betrayal. No broken family. No one standing in their way. Just time, silence... and everything they never said. Because some things don't end. They just wait. And some loves? They don't fade. They stay. --- Seasons 1-6 Andrew "Pope" Cody x F!OC Content Warning: This story contains mature themes, including strong language, violence, emotional trauma, and sexual content (smut).

Camryn Wells wasn't trying to rebuild her life so much as outrun the version of it that nearly destroyed her. After a year and a half off the grid, nursing wounds no one could see and some that still ached like hell, she's back in Pittsburgh. Sort of. She's here for Gwen, the woman who adopted her, who's now fading into early-onset dementia. She's on night shift, working trauma at PTMC, trying to remember the nurse she used to be-and to convince her small army of overprotective siblings that she's fine now. That she's not the broken girl they saw in that hospital bed in Boston. Camryn is sunshine incarnate: bright-eyed, too kind, stubbornly hopeful, and despite everything, still believes in second chances. What she didn't plan on? Her new next-door neighbor just happens to be the gruff, quiet, unflinchingly calm ED attending who runs her shift with surgical precision... and dry quips that cut sharper than a scalpel. Dr. Jack Abbot doesn't do distractions. Not from interns. Not from administration. And definitely not from the impossibly cheerful nurse who crash-landed into his backyard and, somehow, into his life. Guarded, fiercely competent, and more at ease in chaos than comfort, Jack prefers solitude-until Camryn. With her pastel mugs, man-hating cat, and maddening habit of calling him out with a smile, she worms her way into every corner of his neatly boxed-off world. She's not what he expected. And he's exactly what she wasn't ready for. But on the night shift, where everything broken comes through the door eventually, maybe they'll both learn healing doesn't always look like what you thought.

-ˏˋ ꜰᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜ, ɪ'ᴅ ꜱᴛᴇᴀʟ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛᴀʀꜱ.ˊˎ- Elodie Price had never heard the soft breeze of the wind or the sound of birds singing in the trees. After losing her older brother and her mother, the world had become grey. Ten years old, and already the universe had stripped her of everything. She couldn't see any reason to keep moving, no one to protect her. The Walkers would find her soon enough. With her hearing loss, she wouldn't even hear them coming. She could barely hear the world screaming around her. Her mother had always been harsh - never quite satisfied with anything Elodie did - and her brother distant. The little bits of love that trickled through, the faint scraps of affection, always seemed to slip through her fingers like water. She didn't belong. Not to them, not to anyone. So when she had come to the conclusion that maybe it was her turn to go, she never expected anyone to care. She never expected anyone to save her. Certainly not someone like Daryl Dixon. 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰; ©𝙙𝙞𝙭𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙: 𝙛𝙚𝙗. 𝟭𝟮 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙙: - updates set in season 5 (the earlier chapters truly suck in my opinion, so once you get to like chapter 10 or so it gets better :,P) DISCLAIMER: I do not own The Walking Dead, or its storyline.

Julianna Wilson always had it rough ever since her mothers passing, men forcing themselves on her, Julia's grandmothers forceful religion, and her absent father. It made her cold and heartless long before the apocalypse. And for some reason- she always slept with her back to the wall other wise she couldn't sleep. Julia remained cold... until she gets to know a certain redneck hunter, a small orphan girl, and a group that may not be blood but- they were the closest thing to a family she would ever have. #1 in t-dog (10/01/23) #2 in Addiction (07/04/23) #3 in twd (04/17/24) #1 in Shane Walsh (08/01/23) #5 in trauma (06/19/23) #1 in Daryl Dixon (06/20/23) #1 in Lori Grimes (01/10/23)) #1 in Maggie Greene (09/12/23) #1 in twdfanfic (09/18/23) #2 in the walking dead (04/22/24) #1 in Carol Peletier (09/26/23) #1 in Rick grimes (11/02/23) #1 in Carl Grimes (06/28/25)
