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.

I do not own any of the characters in this story, they belong to Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore.

"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

Book 1: Make it Till You Don't --- After the fall of the prison and running into the unfriendly types that Terminus and the hospital in Atlanta had to offer, the group finds themselves wondering for a new place to call home. Though, it seems their prayers were answered when they encountered a man named Aaron. Talking about a community that had walls, food, and shelter, it sounded too good to be true. Given the opportunity, the group needed to make a decision... to go or not. Given the history of trusting others, the group is hesitant at first, but could never turn down the possibility of a place to live. Adjusting to a new environment would be hard on anyone, especially in situations like these. But what happens when their new home is threatened once more? Only, this time, the threat is much bigger than they anticipated? --- I do not one the characters in this story, they belong to Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore. Date Started: Date Completed:
