Story starts right after the incident at Hershel's barn but does not follow the story line of the show after that. The main character is a young woman named Nora who at first has developed feelings for Glenn after he was the one who helped get her out of the city. When she realizes she's held on to her feelings too long, she quickly starts to feel lost. Nora is somewhat of a trouble magnet but most of all she just wants to find her place in this new world. Along the way, she finds comfort in an unlikely person. (I do not own the original art for the cover) {I started this story back in December 2011 on Tumblr and although it didn't get the fan following that I had always hoped for, it did well in it's own way. It had loyal followers and I got comments on how much readers loved it. I thought I would try posting it on Wattpad to see what becomes of it. The story is completed on Tumblr and as I bring it over here, I'm also doing small rewrites to the story. There are scenes that I needed to cut out and change up just because my view of things has changed as well and I wanted this story to reflect that. I really hope it finds the same love as it did on Tumblr and if you're interested in reading the original version you can go here:https://newinadeadworld.tumblr.com}Complete

I have such a better Daryl fic now, please I beg of you go read that not this <:( Daryl Fanfiction + Carl Fanfiction I made this when I had zero experience in the dating game or romance in general, originally from 2019, then drafted in 2020 to be rewritten, republished then taken down again early 2021 for an edit and replot, then published for the third time and here we are, still unhappy and now rewriting it all but as a new book. - 2022: Gave up on rewriting it as a new book got anxiety over it a few times, so here we are just editing the current chapters to be better. - 2023: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PEOPLE GIVE ME PEACE, STOP READING ITS TERRIBLE ITS HORRIBLE WHY. GOD WHY. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL GODS IN EVERY RELIGION PLEASE. This is a book about, Romance, Death, Gore, Anxiety And Fear. "Oliver We Have To Go Hurry Please!!" ... "I Love You Please Don't Leave Me" Alexis Foster, 19 when the world shut down and the apocalyptic world began its course ruining lives, killing family's. But the girl was lucky enough to get out of there alive with her brother as they ran watching the horror around them. Fyi this has changed from a male being with Daryl to a female cause i felt it would be better if it were female since Daryl doesnt give me much homosexual vibes he seems more heterosexual but if you dudes/dudettes/*instert other word for dudes for the non-binary people* want me to make a MxM one, But Carl will still be with Oliver who remains male. Sequel out soon. 𝚃𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚐𝚎𝚛𝚜 𝙼𝚊𝚢 𝙸𝚗𝚌𝚕𝚞𝚍𝚎. - 𝙶𝚘𝚛𝚎. - 𝙳𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚑. - 𝙲𝚞𝚝𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐. - 𝙰𝚋𝚞𝚜𝚎. - 𝚂𝚝𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝙻𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚞𝚊𝚐𝚎. - 𝚂𝚎𝚡𝚞𝚊𝚕 𝙹𝚘𝚔𝚎𝚜 𝙰𝚗𝚍 𝙾𝚛 𝙰𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜.

Because attachments are liability, make you weak especially in this new world where dead are walking and living are more dangerous than before. I don't own anything or anyone, except my OCs. Daryl Dixon x OC; sort of slow burn with a lot of subtexts. Warnings: Strong language, eventual sexual content, violence, blood, self-harm triggers, attempted sexual assault triggers.Complete

She knew it would be difficult, for things to not work out the way they once did, turning in ways she never would've expected. But what she really didn't expect was to come across more survivors like her. Not only that, but the journey that would come right along with it. This book is based off of the TV show The Walking Dead. I don't own the storyline or any of the characters except for my OC. There will be some changes that I have made here and there, but most of the storyline goes to AMC.

The Dixon brothers - Merle with his dangerous charm and Daryl with his quiet fire - both found something in Ava worth fighting for. And Lori, bitter and jealous, will do anything to tear Ava down. This story follows the same events as the TV show - every walker, every bloody battle, every loss. Nothing is skipped. But with Ava in the group, everything changes. Love, loyalty, jealousy, betrayal... and when Ava discovers she's pregnant, survival takes on a whole new meaning. Protecting her baby and the people she loves in a broken world will push her beyond every limit. This is The Walking Dead you know - the gore, the heartbreak, the danger - but this time, Ava Monroe walks with them. --- 📖 Rating 🔞 This fanfiction is rated Mature for: Graphic gore and violence (walkers & battles) Adult romance themes Pregnancy storyline Strong language Lori bashing (jealousy/character conflict)
Catch Fire | Daryl Dixon
In a world burned down to its bones, love isn't a promise. It's survival. Kennedy Pearce and Daryl Dixon are two hardened souls bound by silence, loyalty, and something neither can name. When the world ended, they found each other. When it kept ending, they learned what it meant to lose. Now every glance carries a history, every touch a question: how do you hold onto love when everything else is built to fall apart? Their bond is raw, flawed, and undeniable, a connection forged in fire and tested by time. In a world where trust can kill you and hope feels dangerous, Kennedy and Daryl prove that some hearts still remember how to fight. • • • Daryl Dixon x Female OC Negan Smith x Female OC The Walking Dead (Seasons 3 - 11 + spin offs) Please note, this book does include Daryl eventually becoming a father. Additionally, after Season 11, the OC does get close to Negan physically/romantically.
