Trust The Living: Inspired By Events In 'The Walking Dead'. 

Takes place starting in season 1 of The Walking Dead. I do not own any characters from that series, only the characters that I have written into the existing story. This story takes subtle liberties with events and dialogue, adding in characters when needed. 

Now about the story...


Emma Miller never thought much about surviving until she was forced to. When the world turned into one full of the undead, she realized she was stronger than she ever knew before. Up until now, she had been on her own in the apocalypse. Trusting people wasn't something she was good at before the world went under, and it was even harder now. 

She had lost her sister, not being able to get in contact with her when the grid shut down. She had planned to try to find her but found herself stuck in the city of Atlanta. 

When she decides it's worthwhile to settle with a group, it becomes a journey for her that she never expected. She's taken off guard by these people. They show her kindness in a world where it seemed to be forgotten. She becomes taken with one of the members of the group. Someone who also seems wary of trust and love. 

What will the future hold for Emma? Can she trust the living? Can she find her sister? Can she find love with a member of this group? Read and find out...

Nell has lost everyone she ever loved. She witnessed her little brother getting tore to shreds right in front of her eyes. And to make things worse, she is alone. At this point, Nell would prefer to get eaten alive by brain-munchers. There's no point in life if she isn't even living- she's just surviving. When the last bit of canned food runs out, it forces Nell to leave her house, but she finds herself in some trouble with a brain-muncher and wakes up in a... farmhouse? Nell knows to never trust anyone, it's what her dad always told her. Before her dad died, Nell had a very strange relationship with him. He was abusive- both physically and emotionally. Nell always thought that was normal. It's normal for dads to get angry and lash out. It's normal to be punished for trying to speak... right? When she meets the group taking shelter at the farmhouse, will she run away? Is her need for a true family stronger than her loyalty to her abusive father? Or will a certain guy with a crossbow and a boy in a sheriff hat show her that life is worth living? • • • Amazing book cover by @tbr_tales !! Daryl's daughter/Carl's lover/Found family The story does not completely follow the plot of The Walking Dead. The plot line strays away from the show at times due to Nell's interference. Tw: Physical abuse, attempted suicide, gore. I do NOT own any of the walking dead characters except for Nell, Ollie, and a bunch of others that may be in the story that aren't from twd. #1 in darylsdaughter 09/01/23 #1 in daryldixondaughter 09/01/23 #1 in abraham 09/05/23 #1 in carlgrimes 4/11/24 #2 in glennrhee 09/20/23 #1 in Alexandria 09/26/23 #2 in twdfanfic 10/04/23 #1 in hershelgreene 11/9/23 #1 in thewalkingdeadfanfic 3/30/24

Dead bodies walked the Earth, and the living had two options; band together and live, or turn on one another, and die. Tori makes friends (and enemies) within the group she finds herself a part of. One man stands out as the most irritating, yet the one who also has the biggest heart of all of them. They drive each other crazy, but craziness is to be expected at the end of the world. She battles the harsh realities of the new world, as well as the internal struggle that continues to cripple her mind and body alike. *** [Daryl Dixon x OC] [Sexual Content] [TWD - Season 1-11] [Started 6/7/2023] [Finished ???]
