In a world full of danger lurking in every corner, Birdie Jackson stayed silent. Learned to keep quiet during the loud, be angry when shown the good. The apocalypse had ripped her out of her childish manners and into a world full of knife-wielding and blood-soaked hands. The woods became her and her father's sanctuary, their car that was running out of fuel being the only thing holding them together. Foods stolen from abandoned houses began to empty out, their chance of survival slim with every passing day. So, Vincent left to go on a run. But he didn't come back. It took three long, excruciating weeks before Birdie left the car - with only a knife for protection and determination fuelling her forward. That was the day she lost something, and gained something else. Something that would not only make her find her voice again, but fill that hole in her chest that had been once carved into her by loss and grief. © sinclairs / January 26th, 2025 ─ ? ౨ৎ updates for season 4 are incoming

You knew Carl from before all this happened. Your moms were best friends and would sip wine on your back porch while the two of you played pretend in the backyard. The day the world went to shit, you were dismissed from school early and Lori had to take you home. You never thought you'd see Carl again after you slid that mini van door closed... ------------------------------------------------------------ ~ENGLISH ISN'T MY FIRST LANGUAGE so I apologize for anything I may get wrong! ~each chapter is named after a song that fits the vibe ([name] - [artist]) making a little playlist by the end of the book! (the title is a reference to Ribs by Lorde btw [Carl Grimes coded song imo]) ~also this work is now cross-posted on AO3 and Quotev, so feel free to check it out there if you'd prefer!

Alice was not worried of the unknown. She was worried of what she already knew. She was worried of the promises that the new people were making to her-the ones bringing the people of a fallen Woodbury into their own settlement. The girl felt sorry that she'd touch yet another community. She almost felt as though her presence would bound the new place to its own demise-like she was somehow the common denominator in a world full of chaos and destruction. ───── ⋆✩⋆ ───── carl grimes x fem!oc season 4 - season 8 third person Spanish translation: @-effypops Russian translation: @VeronikasssBVVlack Portuguese translation: @stellesk published: November 30, 2022 completed: December 8, 2025 ───── ⋆✩⋆ ───── #1 in #walker - 06/21/23 #1 in #carl - 02/24/25 #1 in #carlgrimes - 03/10/25 #1 in #riggs - 07/18/25 + 10/30/25 #1 in #chandlerriggs - 08/03/25 #1 in #carlgrimesfanfiction - 11/24/25 ───── ⋆✩⋆ ───── disclaimers: contains mature themes such as language, blood, gore, non-descriptive nudity, depression, etc. I do not own AMC's the walking dead, nor do I claim to.
