A World Beyond / Daryl Dixon
Before Merle died, he made Daryl promise to find a girl. A girl who had somehow meant enough to the man Daryl once thought incapable of caring for anyone. When Daryl found her, she didn't see it as salvation. To her, he was just another man trying to control her choices, another person making promises they couldn't keep. But in a world where the dead walk and the living are worse, trust is the only thing that keeps you breathing.Complete

Both fathers took charge leading their respective communities. Both younger sons stayed by their father's side and did as they were told, while the elder ones tried to keep the peace inside. And when both mothers met their fate the fathers took the world by storm. In another world they most likely would've gotten along, but as they were just so similar it's truly no wonder why they hated each other so much. ༻❁༺ (Featured on the Wattpad Tik Tok Trending Reading List!)

The Hunter and The Fox
When Merle was dishonorably discharged from the army, it wasn't so cut and dry. And when the dead start to rise, he runs into the only other person who knows the truth behind it: This is a Daryl/OC story. She's an old friend of Merle's basically. I came up with this summary in a rush. Slow burn for sure.Complete
dirty little prayer, DARYL DIXON
It's dirty, this thing between them. Bruised knuckles, whispered prayers that taste like sin, soft hands pressing where it hurts the most. Freya's always known how to survive men who want to own her. She's never known how to survive one who wants to keep her. And Daryl? He never thought he'd want anything bad enough to ruin himself for it. Until her. This is not a love story. It's a story about wanting the wrong person in all the right ways. About how sometimes, to be saved, you first have to be ruined.

·:*¨༺ ♱ When I'm Small ♱ ༻¨*:· Miette 'Miet' Dixon. Feral child. Hellish pre-teen. 'Dead' teenager. ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ She wasn't meant to be born. Miette was an accident, Merle was just mean to have a one night stand and then somehow ended up with a fucking child. Not that he really treated her like his child. More like a cockroach who, no matter how many time you put outside, you'll still find in your sock drawer. Or maybe like a parasite. But instead of blood she leached of, it was love. So naturally when the world fell to shit she was begrudgingly brought along for the ride by her father and his brother. {Carl Grimes x OC} {DarylDixon - father figure!}Complete![Left To Go Alone - TWD [ 1 ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/238025745-256-k319988.jpg)
Left To Go Alone - TWD [ 1 ]
- I was left. My last group said that they were running low on supplies and had to leave one of us. They voted me out, but why you ask? I did make a mistake, a big one. I was left on a road, with nothing but my knife and a half dead flashlight. I screamed for help for two days, then a week, then two weeks. Then I gave up. But one person saved me, even if I didnt want help anymore. I needed it, I admitted it. - (rick grimes fanfic) < this is an older series, the writing is really bad > !!
