**The Wild Between Us**
In a world overrun by the dead, survival is never guaranteed. Evelyn "Evie" Carter never wanted to be a leader, but when the apocalypse tore through her life, she had no choice but to adapt. On the run with Alex, a boy she swore to protect, every step is a battle against both the undead and the living threats lurking in the shadows.
With trust in short supply and danger at every turn, Evie crosses paths with Daryl Dixon-a man just as hardened by loss as she is. What starts as an uneasy alliance slowly turns into something deeper, but neither of them can afford the vulnerability that comes with caring.
As they fight for survival, Evie must learn that strength isn't just about wielding a weapon-it's about knowing who to hold onto when the world falls apart. And in a place where the dead aren't the only monsters, she and Daryl will have to decide if the risk of trusting each other is worth the cost.

Beneath Broken Skies
It has been thirty days since Alyssa Grimes and Daryl Dixon left Alexandria behind for the Commonwealth, a sprawling community of 50,000 people offering hope and stability. Together with RJ, Judith, and their daughter Nova Rae, they've embarked on a journey to build a new life. But the strain of their fractured relationship makes the transition anything but easy. While Alyssa and Daryl try to provide a sense of normalcy for their family, the Commonwealth's polished, too-perfect society stirs deep suspicions in Alyssa. With rigid rules, social divisions, and echoes of the old world, she begins to question if this community is as safe as it seems. When both Alyssa and Daryl are drafted into the Commonwealth's military, tensions rise to a breaking point. Forced into a role she never wanted, Alyssa must navigate her growing unease with the leadership, protect her family, and grapple with her own secrets. As cracks form in the Commonwealth's carefully curated facade, Alyssa faces a question that threatens to unravel everything she's fought for: Is this new world truly salvation, or is it just another illusion of safety? From the author of Of Blood and Burdens comes a powerful sequel about survival, trust, and the lengths one woman will go to protect the ones she loves-no matter the cost.Complete
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.

UNTOUCHED: A WALKING DEAD STORY
In a world where the dead walk, one girl holds the key to saving the living. Rick Grimes wakes up from a coma expecting zombies, danger, and maybe some light existential despair. What he didn't expect was to adopt a chaotic, loud-mouthed, zero-filter gremlin named Evie who talks like the world never ended and annoys everyone into staying alive. Evie doesn't just survive - she's different. She was exposed to the virus... and didn't turn. As Rick and Evie form an unlikely friendship, she slowly lets him into the truth she's never told anyone: she's immune. Now, with the dead closing in and humanity tearing itself apart, Rick and Evie must protect not only their group - but a secret that could change the fate of everyone left alive.Complete

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
All This Time (A Daryl Dixon fanfiction)

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
