You knew Carl from before all this happened. Your moms were best friends and would sip wine on your back porch while the two of you played pretend in the backyard. The day the world went to shit, you were dismissed from school early and Lori had to take you home. You never thought you'd see Carl again after you slid that mini van door closed...

~ENGLISH ISN'T MY FIRST LANGUAGE so I apologize for anything I may get wrong!
~each chapter is named after a song that fits the vibe ([name] - [artist]) making a little playlist by the end of the book! (the title is a reference to Ribs by Lorde btw [Carl Grimes coded song imo])
~also this work is now cross-posted on AO3 and Quotev, so feel free to check it out there if you'd prefer!

The Hearts That Still Beat
We've all thought about it. The apocalypse. Of course we have. Some believe it's inevitable. Some believe it'll never happen. Some believe were doomed and others that the military would stop it before it could actually ever get bad. It's normal to think about the end of the world. Because if the world never ends what the point of it beginning in the first place right? Well I thought about it. A lot. Never thought It would happen in my lifetime though. Then it did. And turns out, the military really couldn't handle it and its not nearly as cool as it seems Sorry if it's not that great. This is my first real story with a plan, a laptop and an actual goal. Also im kinda young so if there's anything wrong please leaves tips so I can improve. thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoy! :)

Desert Rose ➳ D.D
"Oh, kiss so sweet, so fine You could hear the music inside my mind And you showed me a place I'll find even when I'm old." .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. **IN PROCESS OF EDITING** When a zombie apocalypse breaks out and wipes over half of the population, Rose is left alone to take on this new world as it unfolds. 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. Some chapters can have triggering things and there will be a ⚠️ at the top of the chapter for a warning. Please let me know if there are any spelling mistakes or errors so I can go back and fix them. Comments are always appreciated<3 ❧ Daryl Dixon x OC Hope you enjoy!

Secrets Untold. (Maggie x fem!reader)
When the world went to hell it didn't make much difference to y/n's life. She was alone before everything and she was alone now. When everything started she avoided people. It was easier on her own, or so she thought. In her eyes, people were no different than animals now and she wasn't going to risk getting killed just to have people by her side. That is, until she finds a small girl lost in the woods... Learning the girl had lost her group, Y/n, for the first time in a long time, was willing to find people. To reunite the small girl with her family. But when she does finally stumble across the group, which was slowly falling apart at the seams, she can't seem to leave them. Something in her decided to stay and help. That and a brunette woman... NOTE: I LOVE Maggie and saw no x reader fics, so I decided, hey I'll write one. I will do a male reader one if requested! I also plan to make a carol one cuz she's a queeeen! Obviously all characters belong to twd minus any oc's I may add. This will be updated DAILY! Hope you enjoy! Note: Special thanks to @karsonromanoff for putting together a cover for me! They're super talented, creative and a great writer, so be sure to check them out! <33Complete

EXTINCTION EVENT | CARL GRIMES
Bad feelings are one part of what sucks about this world. Good feelings are the other. Because the good stuff is what can get taken from you, the rug that gets pulled out from under you. A warming feeling that, once it's gone, leaves you out in the cold. ───── ⋆✩⋆ ───── first person carl x fem!o.c. slowburn ff season 3 - 8 spanish translation: @iluvvfall portuguese translation: @-scarlletqueen started: September 8, 2021 completed: December 8, 2022 ───── ⋆✩⋆ ───── #1 in #thewalkingdead - 03/01/2022 #1 in #alexandria - 03/17/2022 #1 in #zombie - 04/02/2022 #1 in #chandlerriggs - 04/07/2022 #1 in #carl - 04/07/2022 + 09/28/23 + 06/28/2023 #1 in #twd - 06/19/2022 + 06/02/2025 #1 in #thewalkingdeadfanfic - 06/24/2022 #1 in #originalcharacter - 06/28/2022 + 08/27/24 #1 in #twdfanfic - 07/12/2022 #1 in #michonne - 08/03/2022 #1 in #walker - 12/21/2022 #1 in #carlgrimesfanfiction - 04/04/2024 #1 in #riggs - 04/18/2024 + 01/14/2026 + 03/23/26 #1 in #grimes - 01/27/2025 #1 in #carlgrimes - 04/17/2025 #1 in #carlgrimesfanfic - 05/14/25 #1 in #zombieapocalypse - 03/23/26 ───── ⋆✩⋆ ───── disclaimers: contains mature themes such as language, blood, gore, non-descriptive nudity, depression, etc. I do not own AMC's the walking dead, nor do I claim to.

THE WARMTH OF A NIGHT SURVIVED | CARL GRIMES
Alice was not worried of the unknown. She was worried of what she already knew. She was worried of the promises that the new people were making to her-the ones bringing the people of a fallen Woodbury into their own settlement. The girl felt sorry that she'd touch yet another community. She almost felt as though her presence would bound the new place to its own demise-like she was somehow the common denominator in a world full of chaos and destruction. ───── ⋆✩⋆ ───── carl grimes x fem!oc season 4 - season 8 third person Spanish translation: @-effypops Russian translation: @VeronikasssBVVlack Portuguese translation: @stellesk published: November 30, 2022 completed: December 8, 2025 ───── ⋆✩⋆ ───── #1 in #walker - 06/21/23 #1 in #carl - 02/24/25 #1 in #carlgrimes - 03/10/25 #1 in #riggs - 07/18/25 + 10/30/25 #1 in #chandlerriggs - 08/03/25 #1 in #carlgrimesfanfiction - 11/24/25 ───── ⋆✩⋆ ───── disclaimers: contains mature themes such as language, blood, gore, non-descriptive nudity, depression, etc. I do not own AMC's the walking dead, nor do I claim to.
