The world ended, but survival didn't get any easier.
She never wanted to get attached-attachments got people killed. After barely escaping her past and carving out a life on her own, she finds herself at a small survivor camp on the outskirts of Atlanta. It's supposed to be safe. Temporary. Just another stop along the way.
But safety is a lie, and nothing lasts forever.
As tensions rise and the dead lurk closer, she forms an unlikely bond with Carol and Sophia, seeing too much of her own past reflected in them. She doesn't do family, doesn't do connections-but something about them makes her second-guess that.
Then Glenn's voice crackles over the radio. We've run into some trouble... we'll be longer than I thought.
And just like that, peace is shattered.
With new threats looming and an unknown man about to stumble into their world, she realises one thing: no matter how far she runs, trouble always finds her. And this time, there might be no way out.

Wilted Thorns • Glenn Rhee
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.
Fuck You, Dixon (DarylDixonXreader)
A/N: This is the updated version of FYD <3 Y/n L/n was your average college student before the world went to shit. She lived in Atlanta with her childhood friend, Glenn, and had never once left the city after she had moved there, apart from the occasional visit to see her Mother, whom was hospitalised in another state. However, the end of the world changed that, forcing her to leave the city and wander the highway. Permanently. When the city was overrun, she was separated from Glenn and forced to flee the city, which she hadn't left for years. With no idea where to go or what to do, she simply wandered down the highway. And though she may have been a city kid, she was far from useless. She was used to fighting for her life and she was used to being alone, so to say the very least, she could handle whatever the end of the world threw at her. Equipped with her trusted bow, Lucy, and her fathers vintage revolver, she was ready for anything. Dead or otherwise. A few months after the 'End', Y/n eventually came across a lost little girl, and a group of survivors hurled up on a farm. She never was a people person and never got along too well with others, but she couldn't just abandon the girl. Would she find a home in this group? Would they become family? Or was she doomed to wander alone? Would she ever reunite with Glenn? Her family? And would she and a certain redneck ever get along? UPDATES: DAILY.

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.

Trapped in a loveless, abusive marriage and haunted by the memory of her first love.

As the lines between right and wrong blur, Mara's loyalty to her brother is tested by the pull of a man who refuses to let her go, even when the world is burning. Their connection is raw, reckless, and impossible to hide, especially when survival means making choices that no longer feel human.

𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 - A Daryl Dixon Fanfiction
Lilianne came to Georgia chasing the promise of a new beginning after being cast out by her family and leaving France behind. But the fresh start she imagined didn't include waking up in a stranger's bed-let alone one belonging to a man nearly twenty years her senior-with a wedding ring glinting on her finger. Now, in a country where she barely speaks the language, she's forced to adapt fast: to a husband she doesn't remember marrying, to a life that feels borrowed, and to a world unraveling around her. Because beyond the walls, the dead are walking-and survival may demand a kind of love she never believed in. Age Gap Daryl Dixon x OC
