"You know, I think everyone who's ever loved me is dead."
"That makes two of us. Fuckin' cheers."
When the dead rose, Hope Tremblay found herself trapped, woefully unprepared for the rapidly changing world before her, and worst of all, alone. Day by day, week by week, she somehow stayed alive, clinging to the idea that she could survive, but unsure of how to do so. When she meets a group of survivors, she sees a chance to be something more, to actually live in this new undead world.
With no family and no friends, Hope finds herself just as alone in her new group. When she meets Daryl Dixon, she senses a kindred spirit beneath the rugged, asshole exterior he displays to the world.
When two lonely people meet at the end of the world, an unlikely friendship blossoms into more.

TWD: Survival's Edge ➳ Daryl Dixon (discontinued/rarely posting)
"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
Daryl's Angel (2014 Version)
"Why're you bein' so nice to me?" "I would want the same if I were you." Hope Starling was alone when the dead started rising. She had always been alone, with parents that had disowned her and no friends to help her. Inside the department store in Atlanta, she was ready to end it. Still, something was stopping her, but she can't explain it. Daryl Dixon is a lone wolf. Moody, arrogant, broken, he's labeled as the badass of the apocalypse. He will shoot you dead without a second thought if you cross him, and no one does. What he needs is an angel, a Guardian Angel. What happens when two people, seemingly polar opposites, meet?

We Ain't Ashes ~ TWD (Daryl Dixon)
She was far from home, wandering through the wreckage of a post-apocalyptic world that no longer made sense. The rules had changed. The future was gone. All that remained was survival, day by day, step by step, always looking over her shoulder. She never expected to find hope again. She didn't expect safety. And she sure as hell didn't expect to fall for a man with a crossbow and a heart he tried to keep hidden. Daryl Dixon was unlike anyone she had ever known - powerful and untamed. A man who carried his pain like a weapon, with eyes that held the weight of a troubled past. He didn't trust easily. He didn't let people get close. But there was something in her, something raw and real, that held him quietly captive. Thrown together by chance and bound by the instinct to protect what little they had left, they begin to find something neither of them believed could survive the end of the world. Not just trust, not just loyalty, but connection. And in the spaces between bloodshed and silence, in the ashes of what was once civilization, they discover that even in the darkest times a love they never expected could take root - raw, real, and relentless. But in a world where every choice carries a price and loyalty is tested in fire and blood, can love really survive the end of the world? Mature content 😜 Original female character. Some main TWD plot points included but with lots of divergence. Beginning just before the start of season one and will follow the entire run of the show. From the author of Athena ~ TWD (Daryl Dixon). I do not own any rights to TWD characters or plots.Daryl's Angel: Saviour (Book Two)
Hope Dixon has done things that she never thought she'd be capable of in order to survive. After the Governor's assault on the prison, her family was scattered, broken, and unsure of whether they would ever find each other again. Reuniting in a train car inside Terminus was unexpected, but welcome, and together they fought their way out. Back on the road, struggling to survive, the challenges pile up. When a new community opens its doors to her group, Daryl's lone wolf background does little to help them overcome the new struggles that come with living among strangers. Grief keeps them apart, and insecurity threatens to keep it that way. What's more, Hope realizes that something has happened that will forever change her relationship with Daryl. How does she tell him when their relationship feels on the brink of falling to pieces? Book Two in the Apocalypse Angel Trilogy
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. 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

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.
