After losing the rest of the group, Rick had his family left to protect. Finding out that Lori was pregnant was going to be hard, especially in an unsafe world like that. This was no place for a screaming baby. But all that matters was surviving, nothing more and nothing less. Rick and his family would meet new survivors and fight these walkers together in order to survive. Follow their journey and see how they can survive, out on the road. What will happen when the baby arrives after nine months, will they reunite with their group again, will everyone survive? Anything can happen and all you can do is fight.

Ethan Grimes, a sharp-shooting force with a devil's charm and a trigger finger that doesn't flinch, carries the weight of a name that demands strength in a world gone to hell. Lila, the Greene family's fierce healer, stitches wounds and souls with hands as steady as her heart is wild, her compassion a blade that cuts both ways. In the brutal sprawl of The Walking Dead, where the dead hunger and the living break, their connection sparks a fire that could warm them or burn everything down. Bound by desire and tested by blood, they navigate a landscape of gnashing teeth and fractured trust, where every choice is a gamble and love is as dangerous as the next step. Blood and Ember is a gut-punch dive into passion, violence, and the raw edges of humanity, where survival demands everything you've got-and more.

Somewhere in the After, We Begin by Dark_Strow
9 parts Complete Mature
The world ended. She didn't. She was never meant to survive this long - not alone. But after losing everything, she kept going. Scavenging. Hiding. Fighting. Never staying anywhere too long. Never getting close. Then she finds the prison. Glenn Rhee isn't supposed to let strangers in. Daryl Dixon isn't supposed to care. And Carl Grimes... well, he reminds her too much of someone she couldn't save. Set during the prison timeline of The Walking Dead Season 4, "Somewhere in the After, We Begin" follows a lone survivor - tough, guarded, and just a little bit broken - as she stumbles into a group that's managed to hold onto a fragile kind of peace. What starts as a temporary alliance slowly turns into something else: trust, found family, maybe even healing. But the dead aren't the only danger - and neither is her past. In a world where survival comes at a cost, can she learn to live again? Or is she too far gone to begin anything at all?

She's With Me (Daryl Dixon fanfiction) by T-Birdee17
49 parts Complete Mature
Daryl finds a girl while out on a run, completely alone, and traumatized. She doesn't speak, she hardly sleeps, but Daryl can tell she's tough. Daryl decides to bring her home, and she's attached at his hip. Daryl becomes protective of her and warns anyone that messes with her will wish they didn't. (So this is a lighter story than what I usually right, everyone will have a little humor, it's what happens when Hazel hangs out with people, they feel vulnerable, and share everything with her. I know the personality I gave Daryl is not at all what he's like, but I decided to change it for this story.) May 22, 2018- April 6th, 2020
