Before the dead walked, before the silence of survival, there was a girl who talked too much and a boy who rarely spoke at all.
She brought him sandwiches and stories. He listened.
Years later, in a world torn apart, their paths cross again, and the only thing louder than the silence between them is everything left unsaid.

Daryl Dixon x reader (TWD fanfic)
Mom always told me to be quiet. Dad always told me to focus. When I finally listened the world had already ended. Mom, she's gone. Dad, he's gone. Long gone. Leah, Mackerel, Trenton. Everyone. I travel in silence, alone. Grabbers, me, and whatever group I decide to observe this week. But, sometimes... Life decides to throw you a curveball you can't just shoot and expect to go away. I do not own majority of characters as they belong to AMCComplete
Christina Anderson (TWD FF)
"Nurse, I need some help." I turn to the man and furrow my eyebrows once more. "I'm not a nurse." He just nods. "Where can I find a nurse?" I shake my head. "Now? Probably no where. It's slim pickens out there. Most people are gone now." He stiffens a bit as he looks scared at my words. "Gone? What do you mean?" I put my gun back in its holster and shrug. "Dead. Once the dead started walking again, most people started getting picked off. It was fast. No one believed the news, so they didn't stay at home." ⚠️Disclaimer: I did not create The Walking Dead. I added my own characters, plot, etc.⚠️
When Daryl Dixon Learned to Love
After the fall of the prison, the world seemed quieter - but not kinder. Smoke, silence, and loss filled the air, and Daryl Dixon found himself walking through the ashes of everything he once believed in. He had lost his group, his home, and perhaps the last pieces of the man he used to be. When he crosses paths with Beth Greene, the quiet girl with the steady heart, he doesn't expect anything to change. Yet, as they wander through abandoned roads and forgotten places - a golf club frozen in time, the echo of laughter long gone - something begins to shift between them. In a world that's forgotten mercy, two souls learn what it means to hold on - not just to life, but to each other. Because sometimes, love doesn't arrive in peace. It finds you in the ruins. ***This story is a fan-made adaptation inspired by The Walking Dead. All original characters, settings, and references belong to AMC and their respective creators - I own nothing but this interpretation.***

Remember Me (Daryl Dixon)
"Don't say that," I replied, my lip shaking. He quickly looked at me when he realized how pitiful I sounded. "There's a reason we found each other. Maybe it's God, maybe it's fate. But I know it's not an accident that I found you." "And you mean that?" he asked as he peered into my face. Now he was doubting my truths. A tear slipped down my cheek, but I quickly wiped it away and hoped he didn't notice. "Yes, of course I do. I need you."Complete
