𝐀𝐒𝐇 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐒 - DARYL DIXON | .﹕ ̊ ̟🧟‍♀️ 🏹⋆

After losing her family to the outbreak, Iris survives alone in a warehouse, scavenging what little she can from the ruins of the world. During a desperate search for supplies, she's ambushed in a grocery store by a man armed with a crossbow who steals her food, water, and only weapon. Determined to survive, Iris tracks him down, but instead of vengeance, she finds a moment of fragile humanity when he spares her and lets her walk away. In a world overrun by the undead, mercy is rare-and it leaves her more shaken than the threat of death ever could.

Days later, Iris crosses paths with Rick Grimes, who offers her safety in his camp despite her mistrust. There, to her shock, she finds the same man from the store-Daryl Dixon. Their reunion is tense and heavy with unspoken emotions, but when Daryl apologizes and Rick insists they work together, something in Iris begins to soften. Amidst the chaos and the ruin, trust flickers between them like the campfire's glow-small, uncertain, but warm enough to remind Iris that even in the end of the world, love can still find a way to begin.
