24 parts Complete MatureIn a world overrun by the dead, survival is the only goal-until Chloe finds something worth living for again. After months of searching, she's reunited with her twin children in the most unlikely of miracles, thanks to Daryl Dixon. As Chloe tries to rebuild her life among strangers, Daryl becomes an unexpected anchor-not just for her, but for her children too. Trust is hard-won and even harder to keep in the apocalypse, but in the ashes of the world, something new begins to grow between them: loyalty, hope, and maybe even love.
Set against the backdrop of The Walking Dead's Season 2 timeline, this slow-burn story explores second chances, healing, and the quiet moments that mean the most when everything else is falling apart.
