(Exact Seasons TBD)
TW: Violence, gore, death, blood, mention of sexual ab*se/ass*ult, nudity, religious topics, etc.
All of these things are topics covered in the show. I will put a trigger warning at the top of my chapters that include the following: sexual ab*se/ass*ult and nudity. The other warnings are themes somewhat present throughout the whole book just as they are present in the show.

𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄 (Make sure to read books 1 & 2 before reading this one!) A new life doesn't open as a present, with pretty ribbons and assurance of comfort, yet more as a road to adventure with a degree of fog and chill. And thus it takes the adventurous heart to grab it, the brave feet to travel it, and the bold eyes to remain open to its curves and undulations. When the dream of one necessitates the nightmares of many, a foundational tenet of the divine universe has not been observed and a brave new world is invited to emerge. It's healing, repairing and the future is nothing but bright. Everyone's is allowed to dream. Maybe sometimes we tend to forget that this new world is still the apocalyptic world, and the swirling darkness is frightening. It keeps trying to chase me and I'm getting tired of running. Please don't let it get to me. I don't wanna give up that easily. *𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴 & 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘩𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥.

Drisson [DarylDixon]
BOOK ONE S1-S3 In this new world, you have to make difficult choices. Fight for survival or succumb to circumstance. Close yourself off or give into your desires. Start over or give up. A split second decision can change your entire life. Will she fight to survive or fight to live? Drisson /dree-sawn/ an unexpected twinge of attraction for a friend; a flutter of desire that seemingly came out of nowhere, but makes perfect sense in a twisted way that as fleeting as the moment was, you know it changes everything, leaving you in fear of what happens next --- This is my first story that I will be uploading. I'm going to stay true to the characters, but I will also be including some original ideas. The will be some changes to the storyline, whether that be minor or major. For the most part, I will stick to the plot line written by the creators of TWD. The first few chapters will be longer than the others. I wanted to be able to really make sure to give the characters their time. I do not own/have any rights to TWD or the characters, dialog, scenes, etc. *DarylDixon x OC ENJOY!!Complete

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.

More Than Surviving
Rory is completely alone, fighting to survive when she happens to cross paths with two men in the woods. They speak of safety, of hope, of a chance at a new life in a place called Alexandria. What she doesn't expect is Daryl Dixon working his way under her skin at every turn. He's infuriating, arrogant, stubborn, and impossible to ignore. And yet, despite herself, she finds him fascinating... maybe even worth the risk of letting someone in again. But is he also willing to take that risk? - Takes place around seasons 5 and 6 of The Walking Dead. This does not follow canon events until Chapter 18 - - cross posted to AO3 -
Forever Alone // Carl Grimes (The Walking Dead)
| Book One of the 'Forever' trilogy | ~•~ "I'm like a grenade, Carl. I'll explode one day and I'll take everything and everyone down with me. I cause trouble, hell, I am trouble, and I don't want you to fall because of my temper or my stupid need to put myself as risk to save everyone else." ~•~ A broken world brought them together. Two kids with much to learn, much to see and much to experience. They grew together, and in turn, shaped eachother. It began as an average story, a small piece of what turned out to be an extraordinary life. It was never going to be a happy story, it was going to have ups and even harder falls. They grew together, they became different people and left behind their childhood. She had a shattered soul, and him, a hardened heart. She was going to become what she was destined to be; A Leader. He was going to stand by her side and fight for what he loved; A Warrior. There was much to face before they saw that future. Many scars, tears and losses to endure before they saw that light. So their story began like most others; A girl met a boy. ~•~ Completed : 16th August 2015 Sequel : Forever Unfinished ~•~ *Warning* ~ Contains violence~ All the characters are of the Walking Dead cast and a few of my own. All their rights and settings used go to the Walking Dead team. I do not follow the storyline but some settings and character plots may be used.Complete
