In a world burned down to its bones, love isn't a promise. It's survival. Kennedy Pearce and Daryl Dixon are two hardened souls bound by silence, loyalty, and something neither can name. When the world ended, they found each other. When it kept ending, they learned what it meant to lose. Now every glance carries a history, every touch a question: how do you hold onto love when everything else is built to fall apart? Their bond is raw, flawed, and undeniable, a connection forged in fire and tested by time. In a world where trust can kill you and hope feels dangerous, Kennedy and Daryl prove that some hearts still remember how to fight. • • • Daryl Dixon x Female OC Negan Smith x Female OC The Walking Dead (Seasons 3 - 11 + spin offs) Please note, this book does include Daryl eventually becoming a father.

Grace Morgan and Daryl Dixon have been inseparable for as long as either can remember. Their bond, forged through years of loyalty and unspoken understanding, seemed unbreakable-even in a world torn apart by chaos. But when their friendship begins to shift into something deeper, something undeniably romantic, they find themselves facing a new set of challenges. Navigating love is never easy, but in the middle of an apocalypse-where survival takes precedence over everything else-it becomes a battle of its own. Grace and Daryl must not only fight for their lives but also for a relationship that might be their last remaining source of hope in a broken world. ------ • June 28, 2025: #1 in twdlovestory

Macon, Georgia 1989. Even when Daryl Dixon had close to nothing but his drunk, abusive father and an absent older brother Merle, he always had Rachel. Throughout their lives, Marquez and Dixon were nearly inseparable. Life continued to push, and despite the lack of luck on Daryl's end, things started to look alright.. god, he hoped for them to be.

If I tell you to leave me, then damn it, you leave and you don't look back." "Daryl," she sighed softly, shaking her head. "No, I mean it," he argued, encircling her wrist and jostling her a bit, begging her to listen. "I can't lose you. Not like that, not ever." His words were like lava bubbling in his throat, everything he had fought so hard to conceal was quickly rising to the surface. Fuck it. Any fear of rejection was overpowered by his need to make her understand. It wouldn't change how he felt, or the fact that he'd take on a thousand walkers if it kept her safe for even one more millisecond. "I need you around, Ace." "Always." ------------------------------ *I do not own any characters, scenes, or scripts from The Walking Dead.

Unedited. While out on a hunt, Daryl Dixon makes an encounter with a single stranger, armed and more than prepared for this world than anyone he's met so far. Soon this stranger is thrown into the group, and from there relationships develop, rivals are formed, and Daryl's feelings for her cannot be understood, until it seems too late. "Attachments are liabilities. Don't think for one second that I ever needed or wanted you. Why are you staring at me?!" She yelled, angrily shoving him away by his shoulders. He didn't seem phased by this. He merely regained his balance, and kept thoughtfully watching her, before asking, "Are you done?"
