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. Pre-Apocalypse • Post-Apocalypse *I do not own twd, only Rachel and the characters I've created.*

She wasn't looking for redemption. He wasn't interested in salvation. A chance meeting leads to new alliances, but safety is only an illusion. Fate has made its move, but it will only carry them so far. After that you have to choose: fight or die. The world ended the day the dead rose. Can she build a life in what remains or is fate not done yet? (Daryl x OFC) ~ I tried to stay true to the characters, and with the addition of some original scenes, this will follow the TV show (eventually). There will be some minor and major changes along the way. Hope you like them. Enjoy! I don't own/have any rights to TWD or its characters, scenes, etc. However, my characters (especially Alex) and the plot lines I have created are my own. Please do not plagiarize.
