People said animals could smell danger. Rowan learned young that humans were usually worse. After the world ends, she returns to the animal rehabilitation center she once worked at to free the creatures left behind. Instead, she finds a dying jaguar and the cub she leaves behind. From that moment on, Rowan stops trying to belong to people at all. Years later, rumors spread across the wasteland about Negan's younger sister, the woman who rides with a stallion like thunder, a wolfdog that mirrors her anger, a hawk circling overhead, and a black jaguar that walks beside her like death itself. Cold. Violent. Inhuman. At least that's what people say. When Rowan crosses paths with Rick Grimes' group, they already think they know exactly what she is. She's taken prisoner, distrusted, feared, and watched constantly while her animals grow restless behind Alexandria's walls. And with Negan searching for the sibling who disappeared from his side long ago, Rowan quickly becomes more than just a threat, she becomes a problem no one knows how to solve. Especially Daryl Dixon. Because the closer he gets to her, the more he realizes something terrifying. The woman everyone calls a monster only ever felt safe beside animals. And maybe there's a reason they bare their teeth whenever humans get too close. No Animal Bites Without Reason A slow-burn, survival-heavy The Walking Dead fanfiction featuring, - enemies to lovers - morally gray protagonist - animal companionship - slow burn Daryl Dixon romance - psychological trauma - survival realism - found family

When twelve-year-old Anna loses her mother during the fall of civilization, she is forced to survive alone in a world overrun by the dead. After being bitten by a walker and expecting to die, Anna instead awakens with an impossible gift-the dead ignore her, and she can even influence their movements. For years, she wanders the wilderness alone, surviving among both monsters and ruthless humans before finally finding refuge in the thriving community of Woodbury. There she becomes a beloved protector, fearless scavenger, and trusted leader. But when she falls in love with the fiercely loyal Daryl Dixon, her hard-won peace is threatened by a dangerous enemy from her past. Captured by the infamous Negan-who turns out to be her long-lost uncle-Anna must endure captivity, outsmart an entire army, and fight her way back to the people she loves. Through unimaginable loss, heartbreak, and survival, Anna proves that true strength isn't just surviving the apocalypse-it's finding a family worth fighting for. A gripping tale of resilience, found family, love, and hope, The Walker Whisperer of Woodbury follows one extraordinary young woman as she transforms from a frightened orphan into a legend among both the living and the dead.

Twelve years in the Bayou taught Carrie Newman that silence is the only thing that keeps you alive. In Alexandria, she'll learn that love is the only thing worth living for. Carrie Newman is a phantom of the Louisiana swamps, a mother who has turned her grief into a blade to protect her two children. She doesn't trust walls, and she certainly doesn't trust people.

As a new, predatory threat scouts the gates of Alexandria, Carrie and Daryl must forge an alliance that transcends survival. From the humid marshes of the South to the jagged ridges of Virginia, Two Wolves, One Pack is a story of trauma, resilience, and the fierce, unbreakable bonds of a family found in the ruins. The "Bayou Queen" has found her clearing. Now, she just has to keep it.

Juliette Grimes was halfway through her MCAT when the world started ending. One phone call from home. One sentence from Shane Walsh. Your dad's been shot. That was all it took for Juliette to abandon Harvard, throw herself into her black Chevy Blazer, and drive 1,080 miles toward King County, Georgia. Toward her mother. Toward Carl. Toward the hospital bed where Rick Grimes was supposed to be waiting. But by the time Juliette makes it home, the dead are walking, the roads are burning, and the world she knew is already gone. Three months later, she finds her family alive on a farm that is anything but safe. Rick is trying to hold onto his humanity. Lori is trying to keep her children breathing. Carl is growing up too fast. Shane is unraveling. And Juliette? Juliette came home with blood under her nails, steel at her hip, a gun her father gave her, and ghosts she refuses to name. She is not the girl who left for Boston. She is sharper now. Colder when she has to be. Armed with medical training, a black Blazer full of supplies, a katana, a compound bow, and a survival instinct brutal enough to scare even herself, Juliette will do whatever it takes to keep her family alive. Walkers are not the only monsters anymore. And in a world where mercy can look like murder, love can become a weakness, and old rules die faster than the people clinging to them, Juliette Grimes has to decide what kind of woman she is willing to become. Because Rick Grimes woke up to the apocalypse. His daughter had to survive it awake. __________________________________________ New updates every week, sometimes twice a week if my brain cooperates with me.

WARNING : This story is ALTERNATE UNIVERSE! Shane and Lori are married! Shane and Rick are still best friends! Sol DeLuna used to be a firefighter... She was once a 911 operator too, that's exactly how Shane Walsh recognized her voice when they met on the highway going into Atlanta. Whilst Shane focused on the survival of his wife and child, Sol was focused on surviving with some kind of mental stability. So it didn't take much for her to befriend Merle Dixon so she had a steady stream of 'medicine'. Only for that steady stream to disappear when Merle doesn't come back from a run into the city. When the others came back, they return with a plus one. Let's just say Sol isn't exactly ecstatic about a certain Sheriff messing with her routines.

Romina had been sheltered. Hidden away by her family who were afraid she wouldn't be able to thrive out in the world when she couldn't even use her voice. They could not pray away her condition, they couldn't pray away that virus either... She was lucky that she babysat her neighbors kid so often, and that the neighbor was a sheriff whose deputy partner just couldn't leave her behind when all hell broke loose. Then comes along the Dixons, brothers that Romina couldn't help but gravitate towards for so many different reasons. Like.. he looked her in the eyes... That Deputy Partner, Shane Walsh, isn't used to someone else catching her eyes though... Jealousy isn't a pretty color on any of them, not even a little bit. ( A Walking Dead Fan Fiction ) I do not own THE WALKING DEAD AT ALLLLL, I only own the concept of Romina and her lore! Romina is Afro Latina!
