Callie Walsh was never meant to be part of the end of the world. The daughter of Shane Walsh and the result of a one-night stand, she lived her life split between two homes-caught between her father's chaotic presence and the stability of the Grimes family. Born just three months apart from Carl Grimes, Callie grew up alongside him like a sibling. But when the world fell apart, she was with her mother... and Shane didn't look back long enough to find her. Locked inside her home with her mother Stephanie, Callie waited as the dead took over the streets. When their food ran out, Stephanie left to search for supplies-and never came back. Alone, starving, and terrified, nine-year-old Callie made the only choice she could: find her way to the Grimes' house two streets over. But Lori and Carl were already gone. Broken and alone, Callie thought all hope was lost-until Rick Grimes stumbled through the door, barely alive but determined to protect her. Together, they set out to survive the impossible. Yet in a world where nothing is simple and no one is safe, Callie must learn that family isn't always who you're born to... and survival comes at a price.

-ˏˋ ꜰᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜ, ɪ'ᴅ ꜱᴛᴇᴀʟ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛᴀʀꜱ.ˊˎ- Elodie Price had never heard the soft breeze of the wind or the sound of birds singing in the trees. After losing her older brother and her mother, the world had become grey. Ten years old, and already the universe had stripped her of everything. She couldn't see any reason to keep moving, no one to protect her. The Walkers would find her soon enough. With her hearing loss, she wouldn't even hear them coming. She could barely hear the world screaming around her. Her mother had always been harsh - never quite satisfied with anything Elodie did - and her brother distant. The little bits of love that trickled through, the faint scraps of affection, always seemed to slip through her fingers like water. She didn't belong. Not to them, not to anyone. So when she had come to the conclusion that maybe it was her turn to go, she never expected anyone to care. She never expected anyone to save her. Certainly not someone like Daryl Dixon. 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰; ©𝙙𝙞𝙭𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙: 𝙛𝙚𝙗. 𝟭𝟮 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙙: - updates set in season 5 (the earlier chapters truly suck in my opinion, so once you get to like chapter 10 or so it gets better :,P) DISCLAIMER: I do not own The Walking Dead, or its storyline.

After awaking from a coma, Rick Grimes was forced to come to grips with the harsh reality that life as he knew it was over. When he finally reunites with his family, he never expected to meet a woman named June Gomez. She is the antithesis of a damsel in distress; she's everything a survivor should be and more. The journey to find a safe place to restart is dangerous and lengthy, but as long as June is by his side, he feels as if he could take on the world. --THIS IS RICK'S POINT OF VIEW OF THE EVENTS THAT HAPPEN IN DEAD MAN WALKING-- -- I HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING THE FIRST STORY AND THEN COMING TO THIS ONE IF YOU HAVEN'T YET--

In a world overrun by the dead, the living can be far more dangerous. She's carved out a fragile existence under the rule of a ruthless leader - a place where survival means submission. But when a defiant prisoner arrives, his spirit unbroken despite the horrors he's endured, she's forced to confront the chains she's wrapped around herself. The world outside is no kinder. Walkers roam the wasteland, and every step beyond the Sanctuary's walls is a gamble. Yet the thought of freedom lingers, gnawing at her. And as the man who refuses to kneel continues to fight, she's left with a choice - betray the fragile security she clings to, or risk everything for the chance at something more. But rebellion comes at a cost, and in a world without mercy, love might be the most dangerous risk of all. (Daryl Dixon x Original Female Character) Slow burn. Mature content. 🔥🫢 Some main TWD plot points included, but I intend to diverge often to keep it exciting and fresh. I don't own the rights to any TWD characters or scenes.

Daryl Dixon X Aspen Royce • When Aspen thought her life was at its lowest, the world hit her with a whole new reality. A year on the family farm house was all she got for peaceful living until the dead finally took it over. She travels with her brother and sister in-law in hopes of coming across someplace willing to save their lives. That's when their arms open up beyond their small group of three. • This story follows The Walking Dead storyline closely. I do not own any of The Walking Dead, just my own characters and storylines. • Season 3 - Season 11 Very mature content.

The world has ended, and survival is no longer just about fighting the dead. In Crossfire, every choice cuts deep - between loyalty and betrayal, fear and courage, love and loss. In a world overrun by the dead, Y/N has fought tooth and nail to survive - alone, after being abandoned by someone she trusted. But everything changes when Rick returns to her life, shattering everything she thought she knew. Now torn between the brooding Daryl and the man she knew from before the world ended, Y/N is caught in a dangerous love triangle, where every decision could be her last. As the group's fragile trust begins to crack, the line between love and survival becomes razor-thin. Because sometimes the most dangerous fight isn't with the dead at all... it's with the living, and with the choices that could tear them apart.
