The end of the world has a way of stripping people bare. Especially Mia and Daryl - that is until they find each other.
For Mia Rivers, survival means keeping her knife sharp, her walls higher, and her secrets buried. She's been running since the fall, haunted by the brutal death of her sister and a past she doesn't dare share. Trusting anyone is out of the question - until she crosses paths with Daryl Dixon.
Gruff, guarded, and carrying his own scars, Daryl sees through the armor Mia wears. Against her better judgment, she finds herself drawn toward the one man who seems to understand what it means to survive broken. But in a world where every step could be your last, letting someone close might be the most dangerous choice of all.
Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved writing it :))

Ashes Between Us
In a world where survival is everything, love is the most dangerous risk of all. She was a fighter long before the world ended-but grief changed her. Hardened her. Now, behind the safety of the prison walls, she's barely holding together the pieces of who she used to be. Until Rick Grimes sees through the cracks. He's a leader burdened by loss, desperate to keep everyone alive-especially her. What starts as stolen glances and shared scars soon ignites into something neither of them expected. But in a place where trust is currency and secrets can be deadly, their growing connection becomes a dangerous game. No one can know. Not with threats closing in from every side. Not when the group is already struggling to survive. And especially not when a new enemy is watching from the shadows... waiting to strike. With walkers at their backs and spies beyond the fence, Rick and [Your Name] must decide: is love worth the risk-or will it be the reason everything falls apart? Enemies are coming. The truth is closing in. And the line between love and war has never been thinner. Here is a pinterest board for this story: https://pin.it/5aaZGPObN

Violet thought surviving the end of the world would be simple-keep moving, keep fighting, and never look back. But when she crosses paths with Rick Grimes, saving him from certain death, her path of survival changes forever. Haunted by a past she can't outrun and carrying a strength she doesn't fully understand, Violet becomes more than just another survivor. Her mysterious presence draws people in, even when she doesn't want it to-and along the way, she may steal more than a few hearts. As the dead close in and the living prove even more dangerous, one question remains: How long can Violet keep running before her past-or the walkers-finally catch her?

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.
