SHE LEARNED TO LICK THE KNIVES DIPPED IN POISON.
Nothing was ever given to Rebekah Dixon on a damn silver platter. Everything that made up her core being was embedded in survival. Nobody was coming to save her like a damned princess locked in an ivory tower. Her life was in shambles the minute she was born to an alcoholic, abusive father. One brother half in and out of her life like clockwork every few weeks, juvie, jail, and the other brother who tried his damned best to shield her. Even if it was futile.
He just kept coming and coming. Until he didn't.
GLENN RHEE was just a pizza delivery boy swarming in debt, barely making ends meet when the rise of the dead began. Pizzas. A different kind of survival was embedded in who he was the moment he left the safe haven of Michigan and ventured to Macon. He knew the ins and outs of the city better than the mayor himself, probably, and that was the sole reason he survived the initial onslaught of the dead.
His family was surely dead. All gone, wiped off the face of the earth as far as Glenn knew.
When he met Rebekah, all Glenn could think was that maybe the end of the world wasn't so bad if he could look at her. She was hardened, not much of a talker. Not like he was, and yet.. He could not stop trying to get the girl to smile.
The two unlikely survivors find solace in each other.. eventually.

5 Simple Rules for Hooking Up with Daryl Dixon
"I mean, it might make for better sex, if we irritate each other a bit." I shrugged, finally saying the word out loud. He was considering it. Not only considering it, but by the look on his face, was wholly convinced. But something was holding him back. I threw the box back to him, and he caught it. "There could be rules." I shrugged, holding my hands behind my back, and moving closer to him now; our bodies getting dangerously close. "There should be." He agreed. - When Jess Weber was freed from the prison infirmary, she wholeheartedly needed a distraction. And what better distraction than a crossbow-wielding hunter carved in the image of a god? Albeit, an irritating one. The rules were simple: 1. Just sex, no feelings. 2. No one could find out. 3. The vest stays on. 4. No kissing. 5. It was a one-time thing. But as the rules start to crumble around them, Jess and Daryl slowly realize that maybe, just maybe... some rules were meant to be broken.

"Nurse, I need some help." I turn to the man and furrow my eyebrows once more. "I'm not a nurse." He just nods. "Where can I find a nurse?" I shake my head. "Now? Probably no where. It's slim pickens out there. Most people are gone now." He stiffens a bit as he looks scared at my words. "Gone? What do you mean?" I put my gun back in its holster and shrug. "Dead. Once the dead started walking again, most people started getting picked off. It was fast. No one believed the news, so they didn't stay at home." ⚠️Disclaimer: I did not create The Walking Dead. I added my own characters, plot, etc.⚠️

I picked up every article of clothing as I heard the water streaming from behind the curtains. Folding her clothes near where she kept her shoes, I stripped off my clothes and stepped into the shower with her. My hands wrapped around her waist, as I stuck my face in the crook of her neck. I started to do a trail of kisses up to the back of the ear. The tension on her shoulders started to break slowly as I kissed each inch of her skin. I'd been so worried about how she is mentally doing since the death of Lori. She hadn't processed much after the little nugget was birthed. She jumped into action immediately after, coming with me to get formula, and didn't stop until we got back to our mattress. She didn't sleep much, and I followed her out as she let out what she had been holding all day. I also have been holding back something for the past couple of weeks. And I want to be able to tell her, but with everything going on, I'm not sure when it's the appropriate time. Hell, the words have never been formed in my mouth. Not even with my brother. So instead of talking verbally, I let myself speak physically. Her body turned to me, giving me a heated kiss. When I pushed her to the wall of the bathroom, it was game over for both of us. - - - The Walking Dead AU Daryl Dixon x OFC 𝐁.𝐃.𝐃. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐜 (𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟏)
Second Wind | TWD
-ˏˋ ꜰᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜ, ɪ'ᴅ ꜱᴛᴇᴀʟ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛᴀʀꜱ.ˊˎ- Elodie Price had never heard the soft breeze of the wind or the sound of birds singing in the trees. After losing her older brother and her mother, the world had become grey. Ten years old, and already the universe had stripped her of everything. She couldn't see any reason to keep moving, no one to protect her. The Walkers would find her soon enough. With her hearing loss, she wouldn't even hear them coming. She could barely hear the world screaming around her. Her mother had always been harsh - never quite satisfied with anything Elodie did - and her brother distant. The little bits of love that trickled through, the faint scraps of affection, always seemed to slip through her fingers like water. She didn't belong. Not to them, not to anyone. So when she had come to the conclusion that maybe it was her turn to go, she never expected anyone to care. She never expected anyone to save her. Certainly not someone like Daryl Dixon. 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰; ©𝙙𝙞𝙭𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙: 𝙛𝙚𝙗. 𝟭𝟮 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙙: - updates set in season 5 (the earlier chapters truly suck in my opinion, so once you get to like chapter 10 or so it gets better :,P) DISCLAIMER: I do not own The Walking Dead, or its storyline.

Abandoned by her group and surviving alone in the forests of Georgia, she's become a ghost with a gun: a tracker, a fighter, a medic with more scars than stories. She doesn't trust anyone. She doesn't stay anywhere. She doesn't belong. Then she crosses paths with Rick Grimes' group... and with the man who reads the woods the same way she does. Daryl Dixon is feral, stubborn, and impossible to shake-and he sees through Fallon faster than she can hide. They clash. They circle. They survive. But in a world crawling with the dead, the most dangerous thing she can do is let someone in. Because once Fallon cares, she'll burn the world down to protect them. And that kind of loyalty? Gets you killed. Daryl Dixon x OC

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.
