daryldixon fanfic rickgrimes walkers walkingdead

Lauren is a young girl with a hard past. On her 28th birthday her world is forever changed. 

Her life was never a normal, if having a normal life is even a thing. She didn't go to dances, she didn't go to play at the park, her parents weren't around much either. She only had one friend, the little boy down the road who stole her heart and she fell in love. Throughout her life she's faced many hardships. All of which have impacted her life and shaped her into the person she is today.

A broken girl who's been trying to desperately put herself back together. Ever since that day so many years ago she hasn't been the same. The start of this apocalypse is also the start of her change. She realizes she is strong, and she can do this no matter how hard things may be.

Along the way she'll learn who Che can trust, and she's going to run into people of the past. Will she move on and become a new person, or will past struggles tear her down?All Rights Reserved

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.

Desert Rose ➳ D.D by slut4dilfsss

"Oh, kiss so sweet, so fine You could hear the music inside my mind And you showed me a place I'll find even when I'm old." .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. When a zombie apocalypse breaks out and wipes over half of the population, Rose is left alone to take on this new world as it unfolds. 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. But what she really didn't expect was to come across more survivors like her. Not only that, but the journey that would come right along with it. 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!

Shot at Revenge (The Walking Dead) by FallenRose0508

|Book one of the 'Revenge' series| ------------------ This is a broken world. 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! I think that is all I had to really say, so anyways I hope you enjoy! *Don't be shy to comment any suggestions too*

A Survivor's Diary of the Apocalypse (TWD/Daryl Dixon) by imaginenonsense

*** CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTANT REVISION AND EDITING! UPDATING WHENEVER POSSIBLE *** **Previous called "Post Apocalyptic Love (Daryl Dixon Fanfiction** *yes, there is smut. since its a daryl dixon fanfic, it only seemed fitting. i will put a warning in the chapter that have it, so if you are uncomfortable with reading smut, skip that part. this is all my first time writing this kinda stuff so take it easy on me. thanks!* ~~ The book is separated by each season of TWD, so if you have a favorite season you can chose to read Kelley's story from there ~~ A virus broke out across the globe, reanimating the dead and creating mass chaos. In a matter of days, half of the world's population was either dead or turned. The government collapsed, TV and radio stations shut down, and everyone was left to fend for themselves. Kelley lost everything in the beginning. Her family, her house, even her small hometown in the state of Georgia. So she decided to leash up her dog, a Belgian Malinois named Bud, gather some supplies, and head towards Atlanta. She encounters a small group along the way. Survivors just like her, with stories and losses of their own. She soon becomes close to them, feeling like she has found another family, and she will do anything to protect them. This is a story of lost, love, survival, and surprises. The world doesn't care that you are alone, doesn't care if you're hungry, and doesn't care that death lurks around every corner. The undead feed on the living and the living can't be trusted. As the days pass and the world she knew was gone, she keeps a record of everything that has happened since first night. In a world where previous history is long forgotten, Kelley believes it is necessary to write down her journey and keep track of all things apocalyptic, so that maybe one day it will help others learn how to survive... and not make the same mistakes she has. So, let's start at the beginning.

The Ðying Liƒe. »A Walking Dead Fanfic« by nicoavery

Story starts right after the incident at Hershel's barn but does not follow the story line of the show after that. The main character is a young woman named Nora who at first has developed feelings for Glenn after he was the one who helped get her out of the city. When she realizes she's held on to her feelings too long, she quickly starts to feel lost. Nora is somewhat of a trouble magnet but most of all she just wants to find her place in this new world. Along the way, she finds comfort in an unlikely person. (I do not own the original art for the cover) {I started this story back in December 2011 on Tumblr and although it didn't get the fan following that I had always hoped for, it did well in it's own way. It had loyal followers and I got comments on how much readers loved it. I thought I would try posting it on Wattpad to see what becomes of it. The story is completed on Tumblr and as I bring it over here, I'm also doing small rewrites to the story. There are scenes that I needed to cut out and change up just because my view of things has changed as well and I wanted this story to reflect that. I really hope it finds the same love as it did on Tumblr and if you're interested in reading the original version you can go here:https://newinadeadworld.tumblr.com}
