The world ended, and so did the life she knew.

At just 18, Y/N Grimes is forced to step up when her father, Rick, spirals after Lori's death. With Carl and Judith depending on her, grief isn't an option. She's pushed to her limits when she has to carry the weight of the group on her shoulders leaving her hardened, bitter, and dangerously close to breaking.

Enter Daryl Dixon. Her childhood best friend. The only one who sees through her facade and that she trusts.

As the prison becomes their fragile safe haven, Y/N and Daryl find themselves walking a thin line between survival and something more. But in a world where love is a weakness and loss is inevitable, will they fight against it-or fall together through the ashes?

A slow-burn, friends-to-lovers story set in The Walking Dead universe.
