The one where Daryl finds a kid who is, most definitely, not Sophia.
"You shouldn't get attached to him, you never know what could happen, that's all." Daryl let out a sigh.
"So I shouldn't get attached to you either?" Rio asked, testing the waters.
"That's different. I know what I'm doing."

Jonah is an odd and quiet 10 year old boy diagnosed with autism. After the start of the apocalypse, him and his father came to live at the Atlanta camp. During their stay, it's become abundantly clear to the camp that Jonah's father is anything but nice to his boy. Even so, Jonah seems to become interested in the Dixon brother's, who his dad had befriended. How does Jonah deal with the looming dread after what comes to happen? And how does he learn to earn Daryl's trust? ⚠️Contains things such as SA, Abuse, and mention of multiple slurs (all of which are censored wether I can say them or not)⚠️ Started: May 3rd 2025 Finished:

Black sheep || Daryl Dixon
The world is known to be shit. Ever since human race was born on earth the world has been horrible with murderers, liars, thieves, rapists, cowards and abusers. The only thing that tried to control this was the law and even if this people still existed there was a punishment if caught, so it was mostly under control after all. Until law became nothing. With the start of the outbreak anarchy reigned and this horrible people from being only the 10% or 15% of the whole population, they became more and more everyday, until almost every survivor became all this horrible things to survive. But not everyone was a horrible person or at least tough at the start of this, an example? Dafne Peletier, sister of Ed Peletier and sister in law of Carol Peletier. The girl had been abused her whole life from her father and then from her brother. She taught science in high school and would never hurt a fly, but the apocalypse changes you. That's for sure. Daryl x Oc Usually 1 chapter every week. Season 1 - Season 11 Started: 2/11/25 Finished:
