In a world turned silent by death, survival demands more than strength-it requires precision, instinct, and the will to remain unseen. Eris is a ghost in the apocalypse: quiet, intelligent, and skilled, living on the outskirts of humanity, watching the fall of civilization from the safety of the trees. She avoids people. She doesn't trust them. Not anymore.
Until she sees him.
Daryl Dixon-rough-edged, unpredictable, but a hunter like her. Their paths cross not with words, but with signs, shadows, and the slow burn of mutual understanding. From the outskirts of a desperate camp to the heart of the prison, Alexandria, and beyond, Eris and Daryl navigate the line between silence and connection, pain and healing, wariness and trust.
Their story unfolds with the caution of those who've lost too much-but slowly, inevitably, they are drawn toward each other in a world where everything else falls apart.
A slow burn romance built on survival, scars, and the quiet moments in between chaos. Spanning from Season 1 through the latest season, Smoke Between Pines explores how love can take root-even in the ashes.
