In a world of mayhem... is there still mercy left to find. ━ ❀ ━ Vivian Jones knew she was always destined to be alone. From the moment she could remember, she had nowhere to call home. No one to call hers. The world ending didn't change that. It only made it easier to disappear. She never planned on staying still, until a little boy in the woods changed everything. ━ ❀ ━ 𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙜𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙭 𝙛𝙚𝙢!𝙤𝙘 𝙭 𝙣𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙣 𝙨𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙨𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙣 𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙬𝙤 - 𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣 ?? 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙙

She had to learn how to survive on her own...but no one ever prepared her for a man like him. For April Reinhardt, every day is a gamble. Food. Shelter. Safety. Nothing is guaranteed, especially not for a young woman and the seven-year-old niece she's sworn to protect. So when she finds a dying man in the woods, the first living soul she's seen in months, she should keep walking. Instead, she does something that should have died with the old world. She helps him. And when he realizes he owes her his life, he won't let her go so easily. Rick Grimes is closed off, carved hollow by grief, and determined to keep everyone at arm's length. But if Rick truly wanted to stay that way, he shouldn't have brought April and her niece back to camp, because the cost of her presence might be more than he bargained for. Tension sparks. Distrust lingers. Survival demands proximity. What begins as sharp words and reluctant alliances turns into something far more dangerous. A slow, aching hunger that doesn't fade, no matter how hard they try to starve it. But the world they live in doesn't reward love. It punishes it. And when everything burns, even the strongest hearts don't always survive.

They weren't blood. They weren't perfect. But they were family, and that was everything. ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Season 1 to Season ?? [Rick Grimes x original character]

Vulnerability should never equate to weakness. Amy Wilson had always relied on her older brother to keep her from harm. Even when the dead began to rise, this had not changed. She was not a fighter. Amy couldn't handle a gun, couldn't function around blood and gore, and certainly couldn't live with herself after killing another being; whether they were dead or living. After her brother was killed at the hands of a man named Rick Grimes, she was finally forced to learn how to protect herself, how to fight, and to be brave. There was only one man capable of teaching this; a hunter, Daryl Dixon. Cold, quiet, private and strong, he had no time for weakness. That was, of course, until he met Amy. - First TWD Watty Award Winner - Featured in the Official The Walking Dead : Road to Survival "Top Walking Dead Fanfiction" reading list - Featured in the Official Wattpad Fanfic "The Walking Dead" reading list - #8 in Buzzfeed's Official "19 Wildest Fanfics People Couldn't Stop Reading In 2015"
