Emery Hart lost everything the day the world fell apart - including the only person she couldn't live without. Alone and guarded, she's learned how to keep going.
Feeling? That's a luxury.
Then she meets Daryl Dixon - sharp-tongued, rough-edged, and just as broken.
In a world overrun by the dead, they weren't looking for each other. But somehow, surviving doesn't feel so lonely anymore.
"You just push everyone away, Daryl."
"Ain't pushin' you. If I was, you'd already be gone."
"I wouldn't even give you the chance."

The Walking Dead - Crossfire
The world has ended, and survival is no longer just about fighting the dead. In Crossfire, every choice cuts deep - between loyalty and betrayal, fear and courage, love and loss. In a world overrun by the dead, Y/N has fought tooth and nail to survive - alone, after being abandoned by someone she trusted. But everything changes when Rick returns to her life, shattering everything she thought she knew. Now torn between the brooding Daryl and the man she knew from before the world ended, Y/N is caught in a dangerous love triangle, where every decision could be her last. As the group's fragile trust begins to crack, the line between love and survival becomes razor-thin. Because sometimes the most dangerous fight isn't with the dead at all... it's with the living, and with the choices that could tear them apart.![Broken [Daryl Dixon X Reader]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/193663222-256-k966038.jpg)

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. I only own my orignal characters.

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?
