Some girls are soft sunshine. Madeleine Cross was moonlight. Beautiful in a way that made people stare too long. Untouchable in a way that made people want to try anyway. Behind her sharp tongue, glamorous life, and haunting blue eyes is a girl still trying to survive the kind of childhood that leaves scars no one can see. Hollywood taught her how to become desired. Loneliness taught her how to become dangerous. Then she meets someone who sees through every carefully built wall. And for the first time in her life, Madeleine has to decide whether love is worth the risk of being destroyed by it.

Avery has a job in mind, to find out why she's immune to the bite. Was it the walker or does she have a special gene that keeps her from being infected? Her other group lost their lives to discover what the strange event was, so now she's on her own until she meets a certain survivor. When other people find out about her immunity she becomes a target for science and a cure causing for her life to be protected at all costs. Memories are visited and danger is around every corner until Avery is able to find some sort of safe haven. Daryl Dixon has fought to live alone like Avery, but hasn't had a purpose to keep moving. He's looking for something he's certain he can't find, his family. How will Daryl react to her immunity to the disease, but more importantly why is Avery not infected? PG-14

Dead bodies walked the Earth, and the living had two options; band together and live, or turn on one another, and die. Tori makes friends (and enemies) within the group she finds herself a part of. One man stands out as the most irritating, yet the one who also has the biggest heart of all of them. They drive each other crazy, but craziness is to be expected at the end of the world. She battles the harsh realities of the new world, as well as the internal struggle that continues to cripple her mind and body alike. *** [Daryl Dixon x OC] [Sexual Content] [TWD - Season 1-11] [Started 6/7/2023] [Finished ???]
