Alexandria was supposed to be safe. High walls, quiet streets, and people pretending the world hadn't completely fallen apart. She had learned how to survive there long ago, spending her days patrolling with her bow and keeping enough distance to never get too attached to anyone.
Until the gates opened. Rick Grimes' group arrived covered in dirt, blood, and distrust, but among all of them, there was one person she couldn't stop looking at: a quiet man with tired eyes and a crossbow hanging from his shoulder.
Daryl Dixon looked like he didn't belong in Alexandria. Maybe that was exactly why she was drawn to him.
Between late-night runs, restless silences, survival, and a world that never stops taking, the two of them slowly realize that surviving becomes a lot harder once someone finally manages to get under your skin.
This story has connections to the show, I recommend watching it. Season 5 forward.

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

I fell in love with the devil |The Walking Dead| NeganxOC |CarolxDaryl
"I felt like I couldn't think straight. I couldn't breathe. What should I do? No one has control over their feelings. No one."... Reader reactions: "I love your story. It's romantic and somehow realistic. Tbh this story is one of the best. I read a lot about Negan x reader, but most of them are based on sexual stuff and Negan's dominance, but yours is different, so I enjoy it. ❤️❤️" - MyGodPein "I'm so sorry for spam liking. This book has become one of my favorites. I can't wait for the next update" - CheetoHotchRossi8 "I like this version of Negan" - SierraBorda "Love the story update again soon" - Charlenejoshlin30 "ok cant wait to read the next part" - LaurenWoodrow6 #4 in Daryl category 2022.11.24. #1 in twd category 2023.03.11. #1 in neganxoc category 2023.03.11. #1 in Negan category 2023.04.24. #1 in caryl, carolxdaryl and darylxcarol categories! 2023.05.19. Quinn is a woman, who lives in Alexandria, she joined Rick's group when they were living in the prison. She is in love with Daryl Dixon, one-sided. She volunteers to serve Negan food everyday. That day, everything changed. Negan x OC Carol x Daryl NOT SELF-INSERT! Quinn is not me and not the reader! TWO DEAD CHARACTERS ARE STILL ALIVE! THE ENDING WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM THE SHOW'S ENDING!!! This is a romance focused The Walking Dead fanfiction. (Yes, the show has tons of couples, one or two more doesn't count. ;) ) It takes place after Negan has been defeated. I recommend reading it for 18+ people, since the show is 18+ too. Also, it's a "musical" as I recommend a lot of songs throughout the story which represents well the situations and feelings of the characters, but they're optional, you don't have to listen to them, you can enjoy the story by ignoring my "Author's notes". :) I do not own The Walking Dead, nor the characters, I only own Quinn, my OC. I do not get and do not accept any kind of payment for this story. I wrote this fanfiction with all respect to my favourite show.Complete

When she meets a group of survivors, she sees a chance to be something more, to actually live in this new undead world. With no family and no friends, Hope finds herself just as alone in her new group. When she meets Daryl Dixon, she senses a kindred spirit beneath the rugged, asshole exterior he displays to the world.

Our tongues collided... this wasn't a soft invitation, wasn't delicate or cautious... it was made of all the interrupted attempts and unspoken words we had for each other since the farm. It was wild and unrelenting... our lips working together as if they had always belonged there.

Amnesia >> Negan
Everyone shivered on their knees. Simon walked back and forth as he stared at us, nodding his head and smiling as if approving his shiny new friends. "Alright! Let's meet the man himself!" He smiles with excitement in his eyes. He walks over to the R.V. door and knocks on it twice. He steps to the side and awaits for Negan to step out. Everyone around waited with anticipation for Negan to come out. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how I knew that name. Even if there were a gun to the back of my head, I still wouldn't remember it... The R.V. door opens and out comes a tall, slim man wearing a leather jacket with a wooden bat wrapped in barbed wire resting on his shoulder. Negan shows a smile and that's when it hits me. My eyes widen. The oxygen in my lungs freezes. My heart pounds against my chest. I know him. It's Negan... When Kate wakes up from a head injury, unable to remember the previous hours, she travels on foot from Virginia to Georgia, meeting new people. Later down the line, she comes across a familiar face. Will she fight for the ones she grew to call family, or will she find herself fighting against them to kill the man she slowly found herself falling for... **This will begin in the early story of Negan, 'Here's Negan', which my character meets Negan just before he turns to the badass man he is. It will soon jump to season 6 where everyone meets Jesus and Hilltop, then meet Negan officially. There's a twist- Kate doesn't remember who Negan is** **SMALL TALKS OF DRUG USE!
