The West Coast didn't fall like the rest of America. Out in rural Washington, the dead came slower, and Ashley's family had just enough warning to build something no one else had: a fortified island sanctuary. Safe. Hidden. Alive.
But safety never lasts forever.
When the radios crackle to life, Ashley and her best friend Stacie hear whispers of survivors and untouched resources down south. Leaving the island means risking everything-but it also means crossing paths with people who might change everything.
Strangers who could become enemies.
Strangers who could become something more.
As the tides shift, Ashley must decide who to trust, who to fight, and who to let into her heart-before the world takes it all away.

Never ending nightmare - 【Daryl Dixion】book one
There was a crack of a branch, drawing everyone's attention to a young woman. A baby strapped to her back and a dog by her side. "What the hell." Daryl drew his crossbow ready to shoot at a moments notice. Willow held her hands up in a sign of surrender. She spoke very calmly to the group of people. "I am armed with a screaming baby and a dog with extremely bad breath and I'm not afraid to use them." #1 in daryldixonfanfiction on 12/13/22 #10 in dystopian on 1/27/23 #2 in Daryldixonxoc 4/1/23 #1 in bethgreene 4/23/23 BOOK ONE [season 2-season 3] Book one in the never-ending nightmare series NOT EDITED [I DO NOT OWN THE TWD PLOT OR CHARACTERS BESIDES MY OCS.]Complete
𝖡𝗅𝗈𝗈𝖽 𝖺𝗇𝖽 𝖤𝗆𝖻𝖾𝗋 - 𝖳𝖶𝖣
Ethan Grimes, a sharp-shooting force with a devil's charm and a trigger finger that doesn't flinch, carries the weight of a name that demands strength in a world gone to hell. Lila, the Greene family's fierce healer, stitches wounds and souls with hands as steady as her heart is wild, her compassion a blade that cuts both ways. In the brutal sprawl of The Walking Dead, where the dead hunger and the living break, their connection sparks a fire that could warm them or burn everything down. Bound by desire and tested by blood, they navigate a landscape of gnashing teeth and fractured trust, where every choice is a gamble and love is as dangerous as the next step. Blood and Ember is a gut-punch dive into passion, violence, and the raw edges of humanity, where survival demands everything you've got-and more.

Hunted | ᴅ. ᴅɪxᴏɴ
When the world ends, Fallon learns one truth fast- the dead aren't the only ones who hunt. Abandoned by her group and surviving alone in the forests of Georgia, she's become a ghost with a gun: a tracker, a fighter, a medic with more scars than stories. She doesn't trust anyone. 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? Gets you killed. Daryl Dixon x OC

Beneath the ashes - Daryl Dixon (twd season 7-8)
In a world where survival means staying invisible, Mae has made herself a ghost. Alone but for her loyal dog Ash, she drifts through the ruins of Virginia's forests and backroads, steering clear of every group. Especially the violent ones like the Saviors. She's learned the hard way that people are more dangerous than walkers. Trust is a luxury she can't afford. But when fate brings her into the orbit of Daryl Dixon, another loner carrying scars of his own, Mae's solitary world begins to fracture. Drawn reluctantly into the war against Negan, Mae is forced to confront not only the horrors of the apocalypse but the ghosts of her past: a broken family, the brother who tried to protect her, and the mother who never could. As the battle lines between Alexandria, Hilltop, the Kingdom, and the Saviors harden, Mae must decide if she can risk connection again-especially with someone like Daryl, whose quiet strength threatens the fragile walls she's built around her heart.
