Lauren Smith grew up as Negan's daughter - feared, sharp-tongued, impossible to ignore. She never expected anything to challenge her perfectly curated walls... until a run-in in the woods introduces her to Carl Grimes. He's supposed to be the enemy. He's supposed to make her guard go up. Instead, he makes it fall. In a world built on violence and loyalty, Lauren is forced to choose between the legacy she was raised for and the boy who sees the parts of her no one else ever bothered to look at.

"I prayed for a reason to beat this world and God gave me her." ☼━━━━𐂂━━━━☽ Two teenagers - one, a gentle ex-ballerina who's never held a gun, and the other, a withdrawn "monster" that has a trail of ghosts behind him - both approaching the confines of adulthood and walking the tightrope between friendship and something much more complicated. *** Carl Grimes x female oc I do not own TWD or Carl Grimes, all rights to TWD & AMC (who are meanies for killing Carl off.)
