Avery is an independent, strong-minded 16 year old girl with the rest of her life ahead of her. Well, hopefully. Avery's survival skills and independence keep her alive, but how long will it last her?

As she begins to lose hope, a sheriff, a redneck, and a boy with bright blue eyes knock down her door and flip Avery's life around. Having already lost her family to the walkers and her group to The Governor, Avery struggles to connect with this new found family, scared she'll only lose them too.

Avery needs to decide whether to face her fear of not belonging or to shield her heart away from hurting forever. Time isn't on her side as her own sanity forces her to decide at the drop of a fly.

There was a crack of a branch, drawing everyone's attention to a young woman. A baby strapped to her back and a dog by her side. "What the hell." Daryl drew his crossbow ready to shoot at a moments notice. Willow held her hands up in a sign of surrender. She spoke very calmly to the group of people.

Finding G|| A Daryl Dixon Love Story by lovewriting217

Completed! AU story! On August 25th, 2010, an extraordinary and unimaginable event unfolded. Contrary to the countless apocalyptic prophecies that had circulated, no one could have foreseen the emergence of a virus that could make the dead walk. This unforeseen turn of events caught humanity entirely off guard, as no one had expected that a seemingly innocuous virus could possess such deadly capabilities. 30-year-old Angela Wilson never imagined that she would be forcibly separated from her two daughters and husband, and she was uncertain of when she would be reunited with them. She escaped with her 1-year-old son, Alma, and sought refuge in a secluded cabin nestled deep in the woods on the outskirts of Atlanta. The dense forest provided a sense of seclusion and safety, shielding them from the chaos and uncertainty that had engulfed their lives. After months of surviving alone in the wilderness, she eventually comes across a young girl who appears frightened, covered in dirt, and bearing signs of being injured from her time in the woods. Will she take the girl back to her mother or care for the little girl? What happens when Angela gets into something she can't escape? Will He get her? Or will she fight back? Find out in Finding G

SILENT FUSE · twd by pinkmatterwp

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-welding 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. ᴘɪɴᴋᴍᴀᴛᴛᴇʀᴡᴘ © 2025 ꜱᴛᴀʀᴛᴇᴅ. 11 / 03 / '25 ꜰɪɴɪꜱʜᴇᴅ. ?? ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇꜱ ꜱᴇᴛ ɪɴ ꜱᴇᴀꜱᴏɴ 3.

Insanity- TWD by 1008Shelby

Allie Walsh was a peculiar child. Her head was always in the clouds at the worst of times, but she was loved by so many. At just 6 years old, her world began to crumble but she held on, pacing herself, and praying each night that she would survive happily. But, people change, and growing up surrounded by death and disease can bring out the worst in people. Some believe she went insane. Others say she was born that way. But no matter what happened to Allie Walsh, one thing is for sure, despite her peculiarities, she bled red just like everybody else. Each episode is 1 chapter, so chapter length will depend on the episode length, and also how much of that episode I can add my OC into. All chapters will be atleast 2000 words, but some may be much more than that. My OC becomes the adopted child of Maggie and glenn. Just thought I'd put that out there before anyone is wishing for a daryl daughter kinda situation. Love him but it's overdone. Sorry.

The Walking Dead - The Nurse by KaileyRose039

TWD, seasons 1-8 currently published. Dark Romance - Slow Burn. Starts off with her falling for Rick possibly ends with her and Daryl. I like me some drama so hehe. - ❝I remembered how it all started. How the world went from civilized with jobs, normal people, conversations. Without the fear of being consumed alive by undead man. Torn apart, left to turn into one of them. I remember the time before I met Rick, Daryl, Glenn, Maggie, all of them. The time before I feared for my sanity. I remember that day at the hospital when a man was rolled in unconscious and injured, my fifth GSW case that month alone. I remember all those cases before him for the past month, the fevers of 110, the quick unstoppable deaths. The bites. I remember the first time I smelled burning flesh and gunpowder. How it coiled around my lungs and burned my nose as I inhaled. The mangled body of my intern littered with bullet holes. I remember the time before the war, I remember when I could go home and sleep without fear of being bitten the next day. I remember the day I had a son, blood or not, and I remember the day he was murdered in front of my eyes. I remember it all. I remember too much. Why were we the ones who live? Why not Glenn? Why not Carl? Henry, or Enid? Any of the other many people we lost for the sake of what, humanity? I had a son once, I had a family. And where are they? ❞ - follow Avery Warren's journey from ER Nurse to survivalist as she navigates a world overrun by the undead. She must deal with dangerous situations, deadly threats, and her own group's disagreements as she strives to protect her people and seek safety in a seemingly hopeless world.

Then he looked up and met her eyes - the only feature he remembered about her and stayed the same. "No, Charlie," he shook his head. "You're dead.
