"I never saw it coming. I never thought he'd be this important to me. He was an asshole, he had so much anger in him, which caused him to do things, unnecessary things... I absolutely Hated him for what he did, but after a while my feelings for him changed.. What did he do for me to hate him?  Well..  He destroyed my home.  Alexandria. it was this community that this man named Reg built to keep the walkers out. He claimed he was doing it to help protect us,  that he wanted to help us so he had to move us into his sanctuary. I found out his real reason. I held a grudge, a Petty grudge.. I asked him to teach me a few fighting skills.. He agreed and became my personal trainer, after some time passed I seen that he was actually pretty great..  The people of his camp..  they wanted to kill him after finding some old plans he had,  plans he never stuck too. Plans the old him created.. He wanted to kill innocent people in his group,  I get that's bad but he didn't stick with it. I couldnt let them kill him,  so.  I had to save him..  I killed a good person in the process but if I had to admit, it was so worth it.

I did it for someone I loved.  At the time I wasn't sure,  why I really did it. It was crazy of me. But, I saved him and we ran off together. Ever since,  we've been fighting in this world together. I've loved every moment had with him,  We've been in multiple groups, groups he was the leader to. over time, people have thanked me.  for the way I 'changed' him. I didn't realize that I was changing him. I was making him more kind, or so said members of our group.

I have to say..  The world ending..Was pretty great. Because--

This world.
                   Him. 
                       Oh god. 
           Especially him.
                           It was all so...  
                                      Unexpected."

Second Wind | TWD by dixonsrose

-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.

Ruin Me So You Can Save Yourself (Daryl Dixon X Male OC) by MIshaSatanHimself

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.

TWD: Just Another Boy to Discover (Carl x Reader) by xXMsTigeressXx

"Because I needed to put them out of their misery," you respond. His intense, bright, blue eyes. His sleek, long, brown hair. His smile that's hard to hate. You just can't get enough. When it started, you were independent, only Flare was there to accompany you. However, just like that, you join a group. Rick and his gang. It wasn't expected, but you can't leave. You couldn't leave. Carl is your bodyguard. He's been ordered to keep an eye on you. Ever. Since. Day. One. ... It all happened when you were raiding an abandoned, old shed. That's where you crossed paths with none other than Carl Grimes. His distinct features remain engraved into your brain and despite thinking that love makes one grow weak; you begin to develop feelings for him. Regardless of what others may think, you continue to pursue him. However, when the group encounters various challenges that test loyalty, trust and courage, you wonder if it's actually meant to be. ... "Carl," he stops and looks at you. "Get away from her." "Why?" Carl simply asks. "Come here," Rick tells him. Carl looks over at you, then Rick. He shakes his head no. "I didn't ask you, I'm telling you." Rick grits his teeth. Carl reluctantly obeys. You watch him as he leaves eyes never loosing contact with his. Rick shuts the door cautiously. As soon as you hear it shut, you stroll over to the door and press your ear against the thin wood. You could hear Rick's faint voice. "Carl. Keep watch over her," he whispers. "She's dangerous." "What do you mean? She's a kid. Just like me. What makes her any different?" Carl defends you. Your heart begins to thud. He's protecting you. Just like what any and every body guard should do. ... A touching fanfiction decorated with intricate detail, heart-racing action scenes and a painful yet deliciously sweet storyline. The only advice I give to you before reading is to prepare yourself both mentally and emotionally. For yours to read and cherish.

save me | d. dixon¹ by -MagicWords-

"Save me, I can't face this life alone." They didn't like relying on others because they always ended up losing, but now they needed people to survive. They needed saving from the walls they had built around them as protection, from the walls others forced them to build. Brick by brick they tore some of them down, some intentionally others unconsciously. Most walls remained, but now there was a gap between them that invited the other in. They saved one another from a life without love and trust. And now, they wouldn't be alone anymore.

Charlie thought that humanity had no hope when the walkers, as everyone calls them, took over the world, until she met him. Her life would not end on a happy note after all the trauma she has already endured. Even if her broken heart could be repaired by just one person, how would her life be? All of it began when Charlie made the life-threatening decision to leave her past behind. ------------------- "Unless you like something fancier. I could go by Charlotte, maybe Chuckles." ------------------- "You didn't give up on me. Even when I wanted to give up on myself." ------------------- "You like him." "I don't want to." "It's okay to feel something good. Especially now. Especially when it scares you." ------------------- "I didn't think I'd ever feel safe again." ------------------- WARNING!!! This does contain violence so I suggest you don't use this as a bedtime story for the kids :) Oh! I would like to add that I do not own any of the Walking Dead characters or any scenes that are in the show. This story will not follow the story exactly because I like to break the rules soooo that means Carl is older in this so yay!

She knew it would be difficult, for things to not work out the way they once did, turning in ways she never would've expected.

This book is based off of the TV show The Walking Dead. I don't own the storyline or any of the characters except for my OC. There will be some changes that I have made here and there, but most of the storyline goes to AMC. Some chapters can have triggering things and there will be a ⚠️ at the top of the chapter for a warning. ❧ Daryl Dixon x OC Hope you enjoy!
