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.

All This Time (A Daryl Dixon fanfiction)
Elena was always composed and methodical. She knew how to survive the world way before it finished. She wasn't looking for attachments, for people to call a family. 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.

The Walking Dead - Crossfire
The world has ended, and survival is no longer just about fighting the dead. In Crossfire, every choice cuts deep - between loyalty and betrayal, fear and courage, love and loss. In a world overrun by the dead, Y/N has fought tooth and nail to survive - alone, after being abandoned by someone she trusted. But everything changes when Rick returns to her life, shattering everything she thought she knew. Now torn between the brooding Daryl and the man she knew from before the world ended, Y/N is caught in a dangerous love triangle, where every decision could be her last. As the group's fragile trust begins to crack, the line between love and survival becomes razor-thin. Because sometimes the most dangerous fight isn't with the dead at all... it's with the living, and with the choices that could tear them apart.

Saving Grace | Daryl Dixon Fanfic
Grace Morgan and Daryl Dixon have been inseparable for as long as either can remember. Their bond, forged through years of loyalty and unspoken understanding, seemed unbreakable-even in a world torn apart by chaos. But when their friendship begins to shift into something deeper, something undeniably romantic, they find themselves facing a new set of challenges. Navigating love is never easy, but in the middle of an apocalypse-where survival takes precedence over everything else-it becomes a battle of its own. Grace and Daryl must not only fight for their lives but also for a relationship that might be their last remaining source of hope in a broken world. ------ • June 28, 2025: #1 in twdlovestory![Borrowed Time | Daryl Dixon [Book 1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/91226356-256-k812452.jpg)
Borrowed Time | Daryl Dixon [Book 1]
Status: Complete [Book One] [Slowburn] [S3-S4] Vicki could not explain what exactly she meant to Daryl Dixon, but it did not go unnoticed that he gravitated towards her. Always in her orbit and never too far away. Hershel's words about Glenn and Maggie echoed in her mind from days earlier, "Honey, you'd be surprised how unexpectedly love can creep up on ya'...even in the darkest of times." Vicki was on the run from a bad man when sheer luck had her running into Daryl and his people. They end up saving her life and bringing her back to the prison with them. Not only will she encounter a familar friend within their group, but she's also faced with the undeniable chemistry that starts to form with none other than Daryl Dixon. Events that no one saw coming leads the group straight to heartbreak and war. The foundation Rick and his people built in the prison shatters and everything is put on the line. Including their lives. In this harrowing time, Vicki learns that sometimes home is not a place, but a person. I do not own any of AMC's The Walking Dead characters or plots, or locations. However, everything else is mine.

Beneath Broken Skies
It has been thirty days since Alyssa Grimes and Daryl Dixon left Alexandria behind for the Commonwealth, a sprawling community of 50,000 people offering hope and stability. Together with RJ, Judith, and their daughter Nova Rae, they've embarked on a journey to build a new life. But the strain of their fractured relationship makes the transition anything but easy. While Alyssa and Daryl try to provide a sense of normalcy for their family, the Commonwealth's polished, too-perfect society stirs deep suspicions in Alyssa. With rigid rules, social divisions, and echoes of the old world, she begins to question if this community is as safe as it seems. When both Alyssa and Daryl are drafted into the Commonwealth's military, tensions rise to a breaking point. Forced into a role she never wanted, Alyssa must navigate her growing unease with the leadership, protect her family, and grapple with her own secrets. As cracks form in the Commonwealth's carefully curated facade, Alyssa faces a question that threatens to unravel everything she's fought for: Is this new world truly salvation, or is it just another illusion of safety? From the author of Of Blood and Burdens comes a powerful sequel about survival, trust, and the lengths one woman will go to protect the ones she loves-no matter the cost.Complete

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

These Awkward Moments

When a beautiful new doctor arrives in Alexandria, will he be able to leave his past completely behind and trust that he is worthy of love?

If Daryl falls in love with you, he's going to love you for the rest of his life." Norman Reedus Hey Reedus Readers, This is my first attempt at fan fiction, and I hope y'all enjoy reading it as much as I'm enjoying writing it. It is based primarily on the storyline from AMC's The Walking Dead, and uses the characters and relationships from the show. It begins just before the first battle with the Saviors (the end of season 7 of the show), and assumes the storyline follows Robert Kirkman's comic going forward. If you are not a reader of the comic, there may be some Season 8 spoilers here if the show follows the book closely.
