Stitched in Silence

Set in the Walking dead universe. Doesn't really follow the tv series but also kinda does.

In a broken world, Kaitlin learned early that silence was safer.
Autistic, gentle, and drawn to soft things- summer dresses, chickens, quiet corners, and a battered Stitch plushie- she never imagined becoming one of Negan's wives. When her mother offers Kaitlin to him in exchange for medicine and food, her life changes forever.

She doesn't fight back. she doesn't scream. She just...disappears into herself.

But something about Kaitlin gets under Negan's skin. And when loyalties shift and war brews, Kaitlin finds unexpected friendship in Carl and shelter with Rick's group, discovering a fragile sense of belonging she's never known before. But the past doesn't stay buried- and Negan won't forget.

Torn between who she was, who she's becoming, and the man who once held her life in his hands, Kaitlin must find her own way to survive.
Even if it means stitching herself back together in silence.
