Becoming isn't born from survival alone. It is forged in the ashes of endings, carved from the weight of beginnings, and sealed by the choices that mark your soul. The Angel of Death has faced the fall. She has tasted both betrayal and rebirth. But now, as shadows rise and loyalties fracture, the time has come to choose: Who will she become when the past no longer holds her, when the mask is stripped away, when power and purpose collide? This is not the story of who they made her to be- It is the story of who she dares to become.

Emma Johnson is a ghost of who she used to be-a former military operative hardened by war, betrayal, and the weight of too many ghosts trailing behind her. Her body bears the scars of battles fought long before the world ended, but it's the wounds on the inside that never seem to heal. Beneath her deadly precision and sharp tongue lies a heart that still aches to protect, to care-even when the world tells her it's foolish. With guns strapped to her hips and knives hidden in her boots, she walks through the wasteland with a fierce will to survive, refusing to let the past define her. Daryl Dixon has always known pain. Long before the world crumbled, before the walkers turned humanity into monsters, he had already survived a different kind of hell, a past that left him wary of trust, of love. Cold, distant, and quick to anger, he keeps people at arm's length, believing attachments are just another weakness in a world where nothing lasts. But beneath the hardened exterior, is a man who still longs for something more-even if he refuses to admit it. Their paths cross in blood and fire, two warriors who've spent their lives fighting-first for others, then for themselves. At first, they clash-her fire against his ice, her relentless teasing against his stubborn silence. But war doesn't allow time for walls to stay up forever. Through battles, close calls, and nights spent sharing stories they never thought they'd speak aloud, Emma and Daryl begin to see the truth in each other. He sees the kindness she hides beneath her steel. She sees the loneliness he buries beneath his cold exterior. Love in a world like this is dangerous. It's reckless. It's the kind of thing that gets you killed. But when the only certainty in life is death, maybe love is the one fight worth dying for. CROSSBOW AND ASHES is a story of survival, pain, and two lost souls who find home in each other-even when the world is burning.

Good times make up for the bad, and she sees a future ahead of her and her family. Until new enemies make themselves known, and everything changes once again. ***** "We're gonna get through this... We are, I promise you." "It just feels like we spend our lives fighting. We win one fight and then the next just seems to knock on the door." "And we'll win this one too. Remember what you used to tell Carl, what you tell people even now when they need hope. Say it." "We're the ones who live." "Goddamn right we are." ***** (Book 2 of 'Didn't See That Coming': Read that first if you haven't already!)

The world before didn't treat her right. Blair must've been cursed from early childhood to have her life become worse and worse as she aged. Loneliness has been the one constant for her. Loneliness kept her company. All she needed was herself. And in the world before, that was okay. It worked. But when the world fell, the loneliness wasn't as safe as it once was. People became more important with the fall, love became more needed than it ever was, and Blair became more human than she's ever been. All it took was the end. - "I've never been able to stop and just breathe for a moment. Actually breathe and not worry. That's all my life has been. And y'know...I had hope before. That one day, maybe soon, I'd feel like I could rest. Then the world became...This. Now I know, I'll never rest. I'll never breathe." - As the world ends, Blair Woodley looses all hope that she'll ever find peace in her life. She has no choice but to embrace this dead world. She was okay with going at it alone until she meets Charlie Chaster. A young teenage girl with no frame of reference. Blair never thought this girl would drag her along into a small Atlanta group and push her into the arms of the man who will forever change her. - while I have Daryl in the title, it does take some time to get to him. Multiple chapters. I want to show everyone who Blair is first and establish her dynamic with Charlie. While this is a romance story it's also mainly about Blair. This is a story with a LOT of oc's. A lot of the time there are 5 at a time. So if that's not something you'd be interested in, please choose another book. Thanks.

"You're different." "Different?" "A good different."

Julianna Wilson always had it rough ever since her mothers passing, men forcing themselves on her, Julia's grandmothers forceful religion, and her absent father. It made her cold and heartless long before the apocalypse. And for some reason- she always slept with her back to the wall other wise she couldn't sleep. Julia remained cold... until she gets to know a certain redneck hunter, a small orphan girl, and a group that may not be blood but- they were the closest thing to a family she would ever have. #1 in t-dog (10/01/23) #2 in Addiction (07/04/23) #3 in twd (04/17/24) #1 in Shane Walsh (08/01/23) #5 in trauma (06/19/23) #1 in Daryl Dixon (06/20/23) #1 in Lori Grimes (01/10/23)) #1 in Maggie Greene (09/12/23) #1 in twdfanfic (09/18/23) #2 in the walking dead (04/22/24) #1 in Carol Peletier (09/26/23) #1 in Rick grimes (11/02/23) #1 in Carl Grimes (06/28/25)
