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.

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.
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.
