We Ain't Ashes ~ TWD (Daryl Dixon)
She was far from home, wandering through the wreckage of a post-apocalyptic world that no longer made sense. The rules had changed. The future was gone. All that remained was survival, day by day, step by step, always looking over her shoulder. She never expected to find hope again. She didn't expect safety. And she sure as hell didn't expect to fall for a man with a crossbow and a heart he tried to keep hidden. Daryl Dixon was unlike anyone she had ever known - powerful and untamed. A man who carried his pain like a weapon, with eyes that held the weight of a troubled past. He didn't trust easily. He didn't let people get close. But there was something in her, something raw and real, that held him quietly captive. Thrown together by chance and bound by the instinct to protect what little they had left, they begin to find something neither of them believed could survive the end of the world. Not just trust, not just loyalty, but connection. And in the spaces between bloodshed and silence, in the ashes of what was once civilization, they discover that even in the darkest times a love they never expected could take root - raw, real, and relentless. But in a world where every choice carries a price and loyalty is tested in fire and blood, can love really survive the end of the world? Mature content 😜 Original female character. Some main TWD plot points included but with lots of divergence. Beginning just before the start of season one and will follow the entire run of the show. From the author of Athena ~ TWD (Daryl Dixon). I do not own any rights to TWD characters or plots.

TIL THE DEAD DO US PART || A SHANE WALSH DARK ROMANCE
"Her story didn't end with the dead. It began with them." Before the dead began to rise, Mara Holt was already living her own kind of hell. Trapped in a loveless, abusive marriage and haunted by the memory of her first love. But when the world collapses, Shane finds her again; bruised, broken, and still the only woman who's ever made him lose control. Saving her becomes his obsession. Loving her becomes his downfall. As the lines between right and wrong blur, Mara's loyalty to her brother is tested by the pull of a man who refuses to let her go, even when the world is burning. Their connection is raw, reckless, and impossible to hide, especially when survival means making choices that no longer feel human. But in a world where love can get you killed, Mara and Shane discover something far more dangerous than the dead: what happens when you find something worth killing for.
