65 parts Complete Mature
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. So, PLEASE do not COPY!
Wrenches and Wildflowers by SpicyMoonSauce

Linda is new in town. When her car breaks down along the side of the road, Daryl-the local mechanic-stops his motorcycle to help. Thus a chance meeting turns into a romance that neither expected to find. -- I fell in love with the relationship between Daryl and Linda from my fanfic book Shot to the Heart- which takes place in The Walking Dead universe. Love blossoming in a world full of horror and danger. In my story, Daryl briefly imagined what life would've been like if they had met while life was still normal. Just for fun I've started a softer love story in an alternate universe where no zombies ever came but Daryl and Linda found each other anyway. After all the trauma that they have to endure in the TWD universe, I wanted to give them a space where they could truly be safe just to see where things would go. For the record, I do plan on possibly having a sequel to Shot to the Heart where we continue the story line of survival. But for now this story is just a feel good reprise. A break from the horror. A well deserved soft place to land for two hearts destined to be together.

Church Bells by Darling_Dixon08
24 parts Complete Mature
In a world overrun by the dead, survival is the only goal-until Chloe finds something worth living for again. After months of searching, she's reunited with her twin children in the most unlikely of miracles, thanks to Daryl Dixon. As Chloe tries to rebuild her life among strangers, Daryl becomes an unexpected anchor-not just for her, but for her children too. Trust is hard-won and even harder to keep in the apocalypse, but in the ashes of the world, something new begins to grow between them: loyalty, hope, and maybe even love. Set against the backdrop of The Walking Dead's Season 2 timeline, this slow-burn story explores second chances, healing, and the quiet moments that mean the most when everything else is falling apart. Trigger Warnings Depictions of grief and loss (mention of suicidal ideation) Violence and injuries typical of a post-apocalyptic setting PTSD flashbacks References to death and abandonment Emotional trauma related to family separation Please read with care.

In this Walking Dead fanfiction, Coen, a kind-hearted and skilled nurse, finds herself joining the group of survivors as they navigate the brutal world overrun by walkers. Despite the harshness of their reality, Coen's gentle nature brings a sense of calm and healing to the group, earning her their trust and affection. As she bonds with the others, she slowly becomes an integral part of their makeshift family. Among them is Daryl Dixon, whose tough exterior hides a vulnerable side that Coen is drawn to. As the two form a deep, unexpected connection, Coen discovers not only love but also a place to belong in a world filled with loss. Through trials, dangers, and moments of tenderness, she finds that even in the midst of chaos, there is room for hope and human connection. This fanfiction follows the TV show exclusively with the main character inserted. There will be a few original scenes and conversations to explore the main character more, however it sticks closely with the tv show. SLOW BURN Daryl Dixon/ fem oc

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}
The walking Dead Daryl x y/n (mlm) Fanfiction by The-blue-daisy
20 parts Ongoing Mature
This is a (not so slow) slowburn fic, between the (male) reader and Daryl Dixon. The story starts at some point when they were still living in the prison (we are in the skip period between the last episode of season 3 and the first episode of season 4) and the many waves of walkers keep hitting the fence everyday and you are the one in charge of that problem. It's supposed to be very, black cat x golden retriever. (This story also exists on Ao3).
