But nobody could've expected what would happen 2 weeks later. And what sacrifices would have to be made. OC x RICK GRIMES

Daryl Dixon knows he shouldn't be thinking about you when he's alone at night in his tent. Hell, he shouldn't even be looking at you throughout the day. You're not his. You're Shane's girl. But Daryl doesn't like the way Shane treats you. And he certainly doesn't like how you're forced to play 'loving girlfriend' to a man with eyes for another woman at the camp. All Rights Reserved.

In the wake of the rising dead, Jean finds salvation in the form of a silver cross necklace and the charred remnants of a family photograph. Reduced to survival instincts and a deep terror of the outside world, the two tokens drive Jean forward to live another day, waiting underneath the floorboards of an abandoned cabin for the apocalypse to end. But that day never comes, and Jean is forced to confront what it takes to stay alive after stumbling across a once abandoned prison, now alive with what she fears most: humans. In a blur of flesh, distrust, and fear, Jean becomes entangled with a group of survivors and finds herself questioning all she knows-most of all when faced by the dutiful leader who goes against what she believes in, a man with blood on his hands.

Elena Monroe was supposed to be starting nursing school. Eighteen, driven, grieving-but healing. Her father had passed from leukemia a year earlier, and all she wanted was to make him proud. Then the world ended. She and her mother packed up the car with her little sister Ivy, hoping to escape Georgia and reach the safety of Atlanta. But what started as a desperate plan shattered on the roadside-when her mother suffered a heart attack behind the wheel. With no emergency services, no help, and only a few months of first aid training, Elena was forced to make an impossible choice. She buried the woman who raised her and drove away with a shell-shocked eleven-year-old in the passenger seat. Gridlock stopped them just outside the city. Walkers flooded the highway. And Elena-bleeding, exhausted, and breaking-stumbled across a group of strangers: Shane Walsh. Lori and Carl Grimes. Carol, Sophia, and Ed Peletier. They took her in. Protected her. Called her strong. But Elena never felt strong. Just awake when everyone else was still dreaming. The quarry became a fragile safe haven. Ivy found laughter again. Elena found purpose. But in a world where everyone turns after death, she'll soon learn... she's not like the rest. In a world built on death, what happens to the girl who won't rot?

when the world burned, it wasn't the flames that destroyed us, it was the silence that followed. No screams, no footsteps, no hope- just the endless shuffle of the dead and the whispers of what they used to be. 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐲 𝐛𝐚𝐲𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 ━━━━━ R. GRIMES x FEM!OC THE WALKING DEAD

Rick Grimes was always there for his sister, Leona, when she needed him, so upon hearing about his injuries resulting from a high-speed chase, she dropped everything to visit him in the hospital. Nothing else mattered - not her happiness, and certainly not her future as an artist states away. Her brother and his small family were the only people she had left in her life, and she'd be damned if she let something as trivial as the dead starting to rise stop her from keeping them safe. Daryl Dixon spent much of his life on his own, surviving off the good graces of strangers and stealing what he needed to survive until he could find odd jobs in different towns. His older brother, Merle, had been a near-constant companion as he grew older, only left on his own when his brother found a woman he liked and ran off for a week or two. When the dead started to rise, he spent no time finding his brother, ditching the lady Merle had spent the past few days with, and taking off. Finding one another was nothing more than chance, and gaining one another's trust over time was no easy feat, but as it grows clearer that not just anyone can be trusted, Leona and Daryl find themselves staying together. For survival. ➸︎ #1 in #daryldixonfanfiction 03/27/25

Best friends facing the harsh realities of the apocalypse meet a blue eyed sheriff who may twist the priorities of one of them...

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"
