In a world where survival means staying invisible, Mae has made herself a ghost. Alone but for her loyal dog Ash, she drifts through the ruins of Virginia's forests and backroads, steering clear of every group. Especially the violent ones like the Saviors. She's learned the hard way that people are more dangerous than walkers. Trust is a luxury she can't afford. But when fate brings her into the orbit of Daryl Dixon, another loner carrying scars of his own, Mae's solitary world begins to fracture. Drawn reluctantly into the war against Negan, Mae is forced to confront not only the horrors of the apocalypse but the ghosts of her past: a broken family, the brother who tried to protect her, and the mother who never could. As the battle lines between Alexandria, Hilltop, the Kingdom, and the Saviors harden, Mae must decide if she can risk connection again-especially with someone like Daryl, whose quiet strength threatens the fragile walls she's built around her heart.

Carol glanced back and her heart stopped when she saw the scars crisscrossing her back and her unevenly healed ribs making her torso lumped in a few places. She felt tears roll down her cheeks as she unknowingly reached over and skimmed her fingers over the skin, making Asher jump away from her touch. "Did they do this to you?" Asher shook her head no to answer her. "You can tell me the truth, sweetie." "It isn't like that! They saved me from this. They- they saved me from the ones who did this." "What happened to the ones who did this?" Asher looked at the ground, remembering the screams of her mother outside the locked basement door that day. "They got what they deserved." •••A Daryl Dixon Story••• Disclaimer: I do not own any of the TWD characters or main plot, I simply own my characters and my changes to the plot line.

There was a crack of a branch, drawing everyone's attention to a young woman. A baby strapped to her back and a dog by her side. "What the hell." Daryl drew his crossbow ready to shoot at a moments notice. Willow held her hands up in a sign of surrender. She spoke very calmly to the group of people. "I am armed with a screaming baby and a dog with extremely bad breath and I'm not afraid to use them." #1 in daryldixonfanfiction on 12/13/22 #10 in dystopian on 1/27/23 #2 in Daryldixonxoc 4/1/23 #1 in bethgreene 4/23/23 BOOK ONE [season 2-season 3] Book one in the never-ending nightmare series NOT EDITED [I DO NOT OWN THE TWD PLOT OR CHARACTERS BESIDES MY OCS.]

Status: Complete [Book One] [Slowburn] [S3-S4] Vicki could not explain what exactly she meant to Daryl Dixon, but it did not go unnoticed that he gravitated towards her. Always in her orbit and never too far away. Hershel's words about Glenn and Maggie echoed in her mind from days earlier, "Honey, you'd be surprised how unexpectedly love can creep up on ya'...even in the darkest of times." Vicki was on the run from a bad man when sheer luck had her running into Daryl and his people. They end up saving her life and bringing her back to the prison with them. Not only will she encounter a familar friend within their group, but she's also faced with the undeniable chemistry that starts to form with none other than Daryl Dixon. Events that no one saw coming leads the group straight to heartbreak and war. The foundation Rick and his people built in the prison shatters and everything is put on the line. Including their lives. In this harrowing time, Vicki learns that sometimes home is not a place, but a person. I do not own any of AMC's The Walking Dead characters or plots, or locations. However, everything else is mine.

In a world overrun by the dead, survival is the only goal-until Chloe finds something worth living for again. After months of searching, she's reunited with her twin children in the most unlikely of miracles, thanks to Daryl Dixon. As Chloe tries to rebuild her life among strangers, Daryl becomes an unexpected anchor-not just for her, but for her children too. Trust is hard-won and even harder to keep in the apocalypse, but in the ashes of the world, something new begins to grow between them: loyalty, hope, and maybe even love. Set against the backdrop of The Walking Dead's Season 2 timeline, this slow-burn story explores second chances, healing, and the quiet moments that mean the most when everything else is falling apart.
