"I love the story! Amazing." -HimeShian
"I love the way you've portrayed her character and in pretty good detail. I seriously love this fanfic so much." -TakingOverTheWorld
"This is such an awesome story." -Fanfictionlover400
"I'm glad there is a fanfic for Dawn. She is a really misunderstood character." -Leeloveszombies01
This is a fan fiction following The Walking Dead's Dawn Lerner, who was played by the incredible Christine Woods. She was an amazingly misunderstood, complex, and deep character with an interesting backstory that the show didn't fully explore. I get into her backstory AND her thought process during the events on the show. Enjoy!
I'm also proud to announce that this was the FIRST Dawn Lerner fanfic on WattPad!

When Liz is saved by a group of strangers, she has no idea what kind of crazy impact they'll have on her life. Prequel to: For The Ones I Love *You can read this book first or second, it really won't matter too much. This is not a story that'll give you instant satisfaction with the main characters falling in love right away and having sex within the first few chapters. This is a story of struggle and character evolution. This is a story about a girl named Liz with a rough background who finds a home with the characters we know and love. This is her story and it will not be rushed. **Daily updates This fanfic is based off of the TV show The Walking Dead and will follow closely to its original plot but will still deviate greatly. I own none of the characters but my own. Includes: Harsh language Violence Sexual situations 16+Complete

Daryl's Angel (10th Anniversary Edition)
"You know, I think everyone who's ever loved me is dead." "That makes two of us. Fuckin' cheers." When the dead rose, Hope Tremblay found herself trapped, woefully unprepared for the rapidly changing world before her, and worst of all, alone. Day by day, week by week, she somehow stayed alive, clinging to the idea that she could survive, but unsure of how to do so. When she meets a group of survivors, she sees a chance to be something more, to actually live in this new undead world. With no family and no friends, Hope finds herself just as alone in her new group. When she meets Daryl Dixon, she senses a kindred spirit beneath the rugged, asshole exterior he displays to the world.

I'm Not My Father's Daughter: Carl Grimes Fanfiction
Carl Grimes's life was great. He had both parents, a ton of friends, and a great role model. His dad was a sheriff at the King's County Police Department, while his mom was a stay at home mother. His role model just so happened to be his dad's best friend and partner at the station, Shane Walsh. Carl was content with his life. What more could he want? Emily Walsh was a good girl. She would anything to please her mother, who was never around. Straight A's, teacher's pet, the quiet student who never got in trouble, etc. Though she didn't have friends, she excelled in school. Home life was quite different. Her mother was an EMT for the city of Atlanta and worked long hours, leaving Emily home alone with her studies and Ms. Ella, her nanny. Emily's father was a sore subject that her mother would never speak of. As far as Emily knew, her father didn't know she existed, but that would change... By fate, Carl and Emily meet, but only by a tragedy. Their lives are shaken up and rearranged. Not only does their first impression and encounter suck, but so does their future. As time goes on, they see each other as best friends and are inseparable, but will that change when the dead start walking? All rights go to Robert Kirkman and AMC. The only character I own is Emily and my added characters. I do not own The Walking Dead or any of their characters. #1 shanewalsh: May 10, 2018 #1 carlgrimesfanfiction: February 22, 2019 #2 rickgrimes: October 13, 2019 #1 carl: April 10, 2020 Started: October 1, 2017.

The world didn't just end; it shattered. For Ethan Grimes, survival is a cold, calculated equation-a brutal tally of ammunition, sightlines, and the ugly choices required to keep his family breathing. He is the quiet enforcer of his father's fractured leadership, a tactician built for a dead world. But equations don't account for Lila Greene. She is the fierce, beating heart of a family that refuses to let the apocalypse strip away their humanity. Where Ethan builds walls, Lila breaches them. She is the steady hands that patch the bullet holes and the anchor that keeps him from drowning in the blood he spills. Blood and Ember is a visceral, unapologetic journey through the ruins of World. It's a story about the devastating cost of survival, the ghosts we carry, and an intense, desperate love forged in the fires of a world gone cold.
