This shouldn't have worked for so many reasons. But for a little while, for this excellent moment in time, it did work, didn't it? And I feel human, alive. But you were right. A secret breaks things down. It's like bile; dark, corrosive. It's a long story, and most of it's unbelievable. But it's time you knew the truth... now that I have nothing left to lose. When I'm gone, I at least want you to know what I was. What you are to me. Nothing else matters. Not anymore.

He had always been introverted, growing up in Georgia, his family was religious and hated him for being Gay. when the apocalypse occurs and the dead start walking the earth he learns that there is more to love than they once said, than procreation.

I want this to be a SPOILER-FREE ZONE

Sam struggles with being the leader his family and boyfriend deserve to live in the "new world" they were forced in This story is mostly in first person view(of sam) but will change sometimes to third person or to another perspective This takes place in a alternate univers of the walking dead, to fully enjoy, have context and like the characters more, you'll prob need to watch the walking dead, things WILL be different from the OG ALSO THIS STORY CAN GET JUST ABIT GAY AT TIMES (I repeat Somethings in this story are different from TWD, this story is mostly for myself to have fun with, some things wont make sense because this is my first actual attempt to write a good (ish) story that makes somewhat sense)

Daryl Dixon X Male OC Warnings: drug abuse, alcoholism, self harm, abuse, violence, explicit sexual content, sexual assult, homophobia, offensive language, age gap. Ever since the outbreak happened a few months back Lowell Winchester didn't have anyone besides his older brother Dean. Their father went off to hunt by himself in the worst time possible losing touch with his sons when outbreak started and their little brother abandoned them few years back to go and "live his own life" leaving his family and family business of hunting monsters and saving people behind to become a lawyer, so Lowell haven't seen him in few years already. But when undead decided to take a walk across the world, the first thing Lowell and Dean did was drive from Kansas all the way to Georgia to find their little brother as fast as humanly possible. Though their plan changed slightly when they stumbled upon the group of people that just lost a little girl in the woods and two Winchesrters decided to stick around for a few days to help with the search. Because that's what they do, save people. But only for a few days then they will go off again to find Sammy. Or as they thought. Because strangers become friends and as Lowell well knew; family doesn't end on blood, but it doesn't start there either, and one particular redneck is about to prove him that.

Shawn Walsh... For someone who was the son of a cop, he didn't exactly play by the rules, he was a uncontrollable force like a hurricane, a tornado...a tsunami. When he was young, it was only a slight tremble in the ground, a small wind, a tiny wave. But when he got older it became a rumble in the ground, so strong it split the earth in half, the winds became a storm of whipping winds that destroyed houses and ripped the trees from the ground...and the wave Became huge, so high that it reached roofs and touched the skies. Of course Shawn wasn't always like that...but Shane wasn't exactly the best father, he was cold towards Shawn, ignoring him and acting as if he didn't exist. Shawn knew why, it was because Shane didn't want him, he wanted to be with Lori and Carl... though, Shawn was the aftermath of Lori and Shane when they were teenagers, Shane still wanted Lori and her other son who she had with Rick Grimes...the man who Shawn thought of as a father. Unlike Shane who tried to forcibly control Shawn's anger and desperation for love, attention and affection, Rick would hug him and tell him to let it out, he told him to break something, to scream, to cry...and that he'd be there for him every single time. At 22, Shawn had moved out, got an apartment and a job as a tattoo artist, he never inked himself because he had respect for his body, but he did enjoy drawing his art on other people. When Shane came to Shawn's tattoo shop to tell him the only man who was like an actual father to him, had been shot, he became enraged, he screamed as loud as his vocal cords would allow him, he threw chairs and anything else he could get his hands on at the wall. Maybe it was because of his heart broken state, but for the first time in his life his actual father had hugged him, he had pulled him to his chest and told him everything would be alright...but how could it when the dead began to rise and people began to pull apart and turn on each other?

He comes to a short-lived stop. To my surprise, he goes towards the flowers and kneels. I stroll over to him slowly, standing above him. He picks one gently off the stem, which was even more surprising. "For me? Ya' shouldn't have." I joke with the bowman. He lets out a sigh as a response to my flirtatious comment, standing up. "'ts a cherokee rose." Daryl Dixon x Male Oc, Percy Greene There will be a trigger warning at the beginning of the page for everything present in the chapter besides eating disorder behavior and violence/gore, as this involves Percy's eating disorder, trauma and this is set in The Walking Dead. Percy had been struggling with his ed for years, and the apocalypse is not helping.
