(Y/n); an average 27 year old history teacher, with an average boyfriend, an average family, and an average life... Until an unknown virus broke out, causing people to turn cannibalistic and lose every sense of human traits. Without a warning, she lost her parents in the beginning of the out break along with her two older brothers soon after, leaving her and her little brother to fend for themselves. They were slowly beginning to adapt to this new apocalyptic world up until her little brother gets bit, now leaving her completely alone. She starts to think if it's really worth living anymore.. That is until she meets a redneck with a crossbow... (Excuse the crappy description, I'm not too good at them. But I can promise you that it gets better as you continue to read!) I do not own any Walking Dead related scene, because it does follow a lot of the show, nor do I own any character except for any original ones. Thank you for reading!

Solace ~ TWD (Daryl Dixon)
In a world overrun by the dead, the living can be far more dangerous. She's carved out a fragile existence under the rule of a ruthless leader - a place where survival means submission. But when a defiant prisoner arrives, his spirit unbroken despite the horrors he's endured, she's forced to confront the chains she's wrapped around herself. The world outside is no kinder. Walkers roam the wasteland, and every step beyond the Sanctuary's walls is a gamble. Yet the thought of freedom lingers, gnawing at her. And as the man who refuses to kneel continues to fight, she's left with a choice - betray the fragile security she clings to, or risk everything for the chance at something more. But rebellion comes at a cost, and in a world without mercy, love might be the most dangerous risk of all. (Daryl Dixon x Original Female Character) Slow burn. Mature content. 🔥🫢 Some main TWD plot points included, but I intend to diverge often to keep it exciting and fresh. I don't own the rights to any TWD characters or scenes. OFC is my own, as are some of the plot lines in this story. #1 in Daryl Dixon - 10/28/25![Borrowed Time | Daryl Dixon [Book 1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/91226356-256-k812452.jpg)
Borrowed Time | Daryl Dixon [Book 1]
Status: Complete [Book One] [Slowburn] [S3-S4] Vicki could not explain what exactly she meant to Daryl Dixon, but it did not go unnoticed that he gravitated towards her. Always in her orbit and never too far away. Hershel's words about Glenn and Maggie echoed in her mind from days earlier, "Honey, you'd be surprised how unexpectedly love can creep up on ya'...even in the darkest of times." Vicki was on the run from a bad man when sheer luck had her running into Daryl and his people. They end up saving her life and bringing her back to the prison with them. Not only will she encounter a familar friend within their group, but she's also faced with the undeniable chemistry that starts to form with none other than Daryl Dixon. Events that no one saw coming leads the group straight to heartbreak and war. The foundation Rick and his people built in the prison shatters and everything is put on the line. Including their lives. In this harrowing time, Vicki learns that sometimes home is not a place, but a person. I do not own any of AMC's The Walking Dead characters or plots, or locations. However, everything else is mine. So, PLEASE do not COPY!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.

Daryl Dixon X Male OC Warnings: drug abuse, alcoholism, self harm, abuse, violence, explicit sexual content, sexual assult, homophobia, offensive language, age gap. Ever since the outbreak happened a few months back Lowell Winchester didn't have anyone besides his older brother Dean. Their father went off to hunt by himself in the worst time possible losing touch with his sons when outbreak started and their little brother abandoned them few years back to go and "live his own life" leaving his family and family business of hunting monsters and saving people behind to become a lawyer, so Lowell haven't seen him in few years already. But when undead decided to take a walk across the world, the first thing Lowell and Dean did was drive from Kansas all the way to Georgia to find their little brother as fast as humanly possible. Though their plan changed slightly when they stumbled upon the group of people that just lost a little girl in the woods and two Winchesrters decided to stick around for a few days to help with the search. Because that's what they do, save people. But only for a few days then they will go off again to find Sammy. Or as they thought. Because strangers become friends and as Lowell well knew; family doesn't end on blood, but it doesn't start there either, and one particular redneck is about to prove him that.Complete

The Ðying Liƒe. »A Walking Dead Fanfic«
Story starts right after the incident at Hershel's barn but does not follow the story line of the show after that. The main character is a young woman named Nora who at first has developed feelings for Glenn after he was the one who helped get her out of the city. When she realizes she's held on to her feelings too long, she quickly starts to feel lost. Nora is somewhat of a trouble magnet but most of all she just wants to find her place in this new world. Along the way, she finds comfort in an unlikely person. (I do not own the original art for the cover) {I started this story back in December 2011 on Tumblr and although it didn't get the fan following that I had always hoped for, it did well in it's own way. It had loyal followers and I got comments on how much readers loved it. I thought I would try posting it on Wattpad to see what becomes of it. The story is completed on Tumblr and as I bring it over here, I'm also doing small rewrites to the story. There are scenes that I needed to cut out and change up just because my view of things has changed as well and I wanted this story to reflect that. I really hope it finds the same love as it did on Tumblr and if you're interested in reading the original version you can go here:https://newinadeadworld.tumblr.com}Complete
Drowned Words
I am extremely proud of this work, so please if you are inspired by it or just want to talk! Let me know, I would love to chat and even share ideas <3 Daryl Dixon×Fem!Reader Things in the reservoir camp had stayed relatively quiet. Apart from some of the arguments that'll break out but you can only expect that when strangers take shelter together. Y/n was a survivor of the city, brought in by Glenn. You were thankful for the kindness from the stranger but the same behavior wasnt shared from the rest of the group. Supplies are tight and tension gets high everytime a newcomer is brought in. The Dixon brothers dont miss a beat to make sure and cause a scene, going on and on about supplies and how thin we are stretched. The speeches have droned on but no one listens to them, especially when they come from a couple hillbillies. Days went by the same, hardly any words spoken your direction unless it was snarky comment or small talk from Glenn. Changes started taking place when a fellow named Rick Grimes showed up.Complete
Desert Rose ➳ D.D
"Oh, kiss so sweet, so fine You could hear the music inside my mind And you showed me a place I'll find even when I'm old." .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. **IN PROCESS OF EDITING** When a zombie apocalypse breaks out and wipes over half of the population, Rose is left alone to take on this new world as it unfolds. She knew it would be difficult, for things to not work out the way they once did, turning in ways she never would've expected. But what she really didn't expect was to come across more survivors like her. Not only that, but the journey that would come right along with it. This book is based off of the TV show The Walking Dead. I don't own the storyline or any of the characters except for my OC. There will be some changes that I have made here and there, but most of the storyline goes to AMC. Some chapters can have triggering things and there will be a ⚠️ at the top of the chapter for a warning. Please let me know if there are any spelling mistakes or errors so I can go back and fix them. Comments are always appreciated<3 ❧ Daryl Dixon x OC Hope you enjoy!
