A pre-apocalyptic love story about a young woman and her taboo relationship with her Dad's best friend, Merle Dixon. Will their budding relationship blossom, or will people do their best to destroy what's between them? This fic is for 18+ only! There will be smut, violence, drug use, and Merle acting like Merle. I rarely put warnings on my chapters, but some will have them because the shit that happens in this fic is off the hook! Hope y'all enjoy it.
