Daryl Dixon x Reader
Run.
That's the first basic instinct a person can have in life. To run. Whether you are running late, exercising, playing a sport, games as a child, or simply because you enjoy it. Running is important to life... especially when one's life is in danger. The adrenaline takes over and the amount of energy a person can have is unimaginable; they can run for hours if need be. Fight-or-Flight Response, as some people call it.
The desperate need to run.
The best advice when the sound of snarling trails behind you, catching up with hostile intent? Run. Run and never look back. The world, in simple terms, had gone to shit. Without warning, everyone found themselves having to run and fight in order to survive. Although, no one ever expected to be fighting the dead. With humanity on the brink of extinction, (Y/N) finds herself stumbling across a group and joins them in an attempt to survive to see another day, though she never expected the day would come where she'd call these people her family.

TWD: Survival's Edge ➳ Daryl Dixon (discontinued/rarely posting)
"𝙃𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚. 𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙬𝙖𝙮." = this is a partial slow burn = The world has fallen apart, leaving only the ruthless, and the desperate to fight for what's left. In a world overrun by the dead, survival isn't just about skill-it's about trust. Amara Hangings and her best friend, Henry have relied on each other to make it this far. Whenever they are captured by a group, they cross paths with a stuck-up, crossbow prick named Daryl Dixon. Henry sees danger in Daryl. Amara sees something else. As they fight through this new world, an uneasy trust begins to form. But in a world where attachments are a risk, letting someone in could be the most dangerous choice of all. For Daryl, survival has always been black and white-until Amara proves that sometimes, the gray areas are worth the risk. ------------ This roughly takes place in the beginning of TWD. I changed the plot a bit to fit in more Amara x Daryl and to make more of a new plot while keeping the basics of the TWD season 1 plot. In this Daryl is late 20's- early 30's. I tried to keep in the character of Daryl Dixon as shown in TWD and what they have said in interviews. Enjoy! I DID NOT MAKE THIS CONCEPT. THIS IS A FANFIC FOR THE WALKING DEAD Hey, sorry this is discontinued. My love for walking dead and just Norman Reedus/Daryl Dixon has burned out. I'm so sorry, I truly enjoyed this and who knows- I might come back for some more chapters but for right now I'm focusing on senior year <3 best ranks: #72 in Dystopian #74 in Gory

Safe [Daryl Dixon X Reader]

Survive ( twd carlgrimes)
Book 1: After 8 years of being held hostage, 15 year old, Madison Smith and her family finally escapes with help from a large group of survivers. The group is big but she notices one person in particular. A boy. Around her age, with blue eyes and a distinguishable hat. These people aren't like the those she remembers as a little girl. They're different. When she escapes, these survivors tell her that life isn't how she remembers. She learns that everyone she knew is dead, but these monsters, walkers the group called them, weren't just dead, they walked, they search around for something to feed on. Us. They look for anything living to feed from. If they get near you, you're in trouble. If they scratch you, you die. If they bite you, you die. "We're screwed. All we can do now is survive."Complete
When Daryl Dixon Learned to Love
After the fall of the prison, the world seemed quieter - but not kinder. Smoke, silence, and loss filled the air, and Daryl Dixon found himself walking through the ashes of everything he once believed in. He had lost his group, his home, and perhaps the last pieces of the man he used to be. When he crosses paths with Beth Greene, the quiet girl with the steady heart, he doesn't expect anything to change. Yet, as they wander through abandoned roads and forgotten places - a golf club frozen in time, the echo of laughter long gone - something begins to shift between them. In a world that's forgotten mercy, two souls learn what it means to hold on - not just to life, but to each other. Because sometimes, love doesn't arrive in peace. It finds you in the ruins. ***This story is a fan-made adaptation inspired by The Walking Dead. All original characters, settings, and references belong to AMC and their respective creators - I own nothing but this interpretation.***
Angel
Daryl Dixon is completely on his own. After the Saviors burn down Alexandria, he thinks that he is the only survivor. Living without the group that he has come to love, has left him as nothing more than a shell of the man he used to be. One day after a brutal fight, he stumbles upon a run-down shack in the woods. As he lay dying on the dirty floor, his life is saved by a complete stranger. These two loners find that living life together is so much better than doing it alone. I haven't written a story in the first person since Broken. It's not as easy as it sounds, but I enjoyed the challenge. This story has taken me months to write and I finished it just days after the Season 8 midseason finale. Any similarities to that episode are pure coincidence. I wrote the chapter (You'll know which one) months before Season8 even started. For anyone that is newly following me or reading my books, I write differently than most. You only start to get chapters once the entire story is written. And it finally is. I hope everyone enjoys Angel.Complete
Not Made to Rot.
Elena Monroe was supposed to be starting nursing school. Eighteen, driven, grieving-but healing. Her father had passed from leukemia a year earlier, and all she wanted was to make him proud. Then the world ended. She and her mother packed up the car with her little sister Ivy, hoping to escape Georgia and reach the safety of Atlanta. But what started as a desperate plan shattered on the roadside-when her mother suffered a heart attack behind the wheel. With no emergency services, no help, and only a few months of first aid training, Elena was forced to make an impossible choice. She buried the woman who raised her and drove away with a shell-shocked eleven-year-old in the passenger seat. Gridlock stopped them just outside the city. Walkers flooded the highway. And Elena-bleeding, exhausted, and breaking-stumbled across a group of strangers: Shane Walsh. Lori and Carl Grimes. Carol, Sophia, and Ed Peletier. They took her in. Protected her. Called her strong. But Elena never felt strong. Just awake when everyone else was still dreaming. The quarry became a fragile safe haven. Ivy found laughter again. Elena found purpose. But in a world where everyone turns after death, she'll soon learn... she's not like the rest. In a world built on death, what happens to the girl who won't rot?

Drisson [DarylDixon]
BOOK ONE S1-S3 In this new world, you have to make difficult choices. Fight for survival or succumb to circumstance. Close yourself off or give into your desires. Start over or give up. A split second decision can change your entire life. Will she fight to survive or fight to live? Drisson /dree-sawn/ an unexpected twinge of attraction for a friend; a flutter of desire that seemingly came out of nowhere, but makes perfect sense in a twisted way that as fleeting as the moment was, you know it changes everything, leaving you in fear of what happens next --- This is my first story that I will be uploading. I'm going to stay true to the characters, but I will also be including some original ideas. The will be some changes to the storyline, whether that be minor or major. For the most part, I will stick to the plot line written by the creators of TWD. The first few chapters will be longer than the others. I wanted to be able to really make sure to give the characters their time. I do not own/have any rights to TWD or the characters, dialog, scenes, etc. *DarylDixon x OC ENJOY!!Complete
