She wasn't looking for redemption. He wasn't interested in salvation. A chance meeting leads to new alliances, but safety is only an illusion. Fate has made its move, but it will only carry them so far. After that you have to choose: fight or die. The world ended the day the dead rose. Can she build a life in what remains or is fate not done yet? (Daryl x OFC) ~ I tried to stay true to the characters, and with the addition of some original scenes, this will follow the TV show (eventually). There will be some minor and major changes along the way. Hope you like them. Enjoy!

Childhood best friends. That's the only thing that seemed to be able to describe Evelyn Wright and Daryl Dixon. They had their ups and downs as neighbors over the years, but what happens when a sudden apocalypse hits? Part 1-3 | Pre-apocalypse Part 4-5 | TWD S4- *I do not own any part of TWD, any OC is my own, though*

My mother died and my father went a little bonkers. Sounds bad, doesn't it? It's not. Not for me. I have never related to my father more than I do now that he's blood thirsty and 'childish', and takes what he wants unapologetically. Though I'd say he's more responsible and in control than me, considering that he managed to build an empire in the middle of the apocalypse. While he does all the business I'm just living my best life here, doing what I want with power over everyone and everything, rolling in silk bed sheets and warm bodies. Though one thing is missing. Dirty, worn out guy that looks at me like I'm a piece of shit stuck to the bottom of his shoe, but when he looks at me with those pretty blue eyes, I can't help but follow him into the place where I'm falling to the bottom of the food chain, looked down upon and cursed, hated. All to be close to him for one more minute.

Sam: I was raised the way that teaches you to be selfless. That's what I was doing my whole life. Taking care of my little brother when my parents couldn't or didn't want to, helping with chores, working, doing my best at school so I don't embarrass my family name, following my father's dreams and mothers expectations. Everything for them, to satisfy them, to please them. No one was ever satisfied with me though, I'm never good enough for no one. So as usual I bought a drink to reward myself for a once again perfect score on the exam. One drink turns into five and I find myself following some guy with pretty eyes. What I didn't know is that next time we meet I'm not going to be the one drunk and it's not going to be the last time I see him either. Quite the opposite, he'll manage to turn my life upside down, ruining it completely, and only the end of the world will be able to fix all of it. Daryl: When I was younger I used to think I was born with a curse in my blood, but then I understood that life is just a bitch. From my mother's death to surviving under my father's thumb and then jumping under Merle's. Whole my life I stood neck deep in shit, be it bird shit, my own shit or my family's. Every day is a stupid fight to not drown in that pool of shit, and for years the only thing keeping me floating were drugs and alcohol. But then, this bloody sunshine dropped into my life. After all the years of violence and roughness I grew to crave him like a secret drug. His gentle touch, his unconditional love and care. As much as my scarred soul craves it, this thing between us is crossing all the lines and breaking all the rules I knew. So I drown in ecstasy and weed even more, trying to figure myself out, so lost in my own bullshit that I didn't notice that his perfect life isn't as good as he says it is, and when I finally open my eyes, he's gone. He's fucking gone, and world is too, or at least the way we knew it.

"ɢᴏᴅ, ꜱʜᴇ ʜᴀᴅ ᴍᴇ ʙʏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʜʀᴏᴀᴛ, ʙʏ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪᴘ ʙᴏɴᴇ, ʙʏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴏɴ. ɢᴏᴅ, ꜱʜᴇ ʜᴜʀᴛ ᴍᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴍʏ ᴏᴡɴ ʜᴏʀɴꜱ" Entangled in a web of hate, 21-year-old Judith Grimes finds herself trapped in a battle of contempt with Derek Smith, Negan's son. His arrogance, inclination for violence, and brutality only serve to amplify her disgust towards him, festering like an open wound. Maybe because he's the walking embodiment of the beast that lurks within the depths of her mind, a reminder of the shadows she's desperate to suppress. Or maybe it's because of the unsettling connection uncontrollably tethering them, laden with hidden truths and growing obsession. Then Derek rises to the position of Judith's direct superior, wielding authority that threatens to turn her life into a living nightmare. As tensions escalate and boundaries blur, Judith is forced to confront her mortality and the impending loom of her predecided fate.

"ꜰɪɴᴅ ᴍᴇ ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ɪ'ᴍ ᴍᴏꜱᴛ ʀᴜɪɴᴇᴅ, ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴍᴇ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ" Cassandra was a doctor, before the turn. After being stranded alone for weeks, she's losing hope. That all changes when she hears a scream in the woods and comes across a terrified Sophia, lost and searching for her mom and group [Rick Grimes x Original Female Character ] some of the loveliest comments I've received: "I just binged this in one go and BOY I DO NOT REGRET IT. you've written something truly beautiful, I was captivated by it. Wholeheartedly." "You are killing me. (I absolutely love this, it's so worth it)" "life-changing chapter. ur a genius" "I've reread this at least 5 times since you posted 😭😭 pure magic. Seriously." "...i had to stop every sentence and scream into my pillow from the absolute TENSION that was building!!..." "ho-ly shit" "Stayed up until 4am to read this and I have zero regrets tbh because it's SO GOOD" "if i could inject this story into my veins, i would do it without hesitation. never read such writing that encapsulates everything i love about storytelling and writing. amazing amazing writing i look forward to seeing your take on the rest of the show! :)"

If I tell you to leave me, then damn it, you leave and you don't look back." "Daryl," she sighed softly, shaking her head. "No, I mean it," he argued, encircling her wrist and jostling her a bit, begging her to listen. "I can't lose you. Not like that, not ever." His words were like lava bubbling in his throat, everything he had fought so hard to conceal was quickly rising to the surface. Fuck it. Any fear of rejection was overpowered by his need to make her understand. It wouldn't change how he felt, or the fact that he'd take on a thousand walkers if it kept her safe for even one more millisecond. "I need you around, Ace." "Always." ------------------------------ *I do not own any characters, scenes, or scripts from The Walking Dead.
